Still embroiled in controversy regarding his recent statement that pornography isn’t that bad if it prevents adultery, conservative pundit Dennis Prager has now clarified that pornography did not in any way contribute to the fact that he has been married three times.
“I have been in three very healthy marriages, so I’m an expert on this,” Prager said in response to a request for comment. “My ex-wives can tell you that porn had no detrimental effects whatsoever on any of my several marriages.”
Despite Prager’s assertions, many conservatives are still calling into question the wisdom of normalizing pornography in marriages. “I’m no psychologist or marriage counselor,” said PragerU subscriber Jeff Clark, “but I’m pretty certain viewing pornography is pretty horrible for a marriage or romantic relationship of any kind. Seems like the type of thing that could, I don’t know, lead to getting divorced multiple times.”
Prager continues to stand by his statement. “Come on, lighten up! What’s a little harmless lusting over other women that aren’t your wife?” he said. “Doing things that have a negative effect on your mind and can seriously damage your intimate relationships may actually be healthy, as long as it keeps you from engaging in adultery and ending up divorced. Trust me, if there’s anyone who knows about divorces, it’s me!”
At publishing time, Prager was adamant that his current marriage is absolutely rock-solid, though he admitted his wife now keeps sneaking up behind him while he’s using his computer for some reason.
