When Ben Williams turned ten, his parents bought him an iPod touch. That’s how his porn addiction began.
Ten was when he started to really notice girls, one of many changes that his family never discussed. Sex, puberty, or crushes didn’t come up in conversation at home or at his church, where both his parents volunteered. He had plenty of questions but no answers, so one night alone in his room, he turned to Google.
