I definitely can see where dad was coming from on the prescriptive side of things. But the descriptive diagnosis in these particular books is pretty accurate IMO.
I'm not sure how plain we can speak on this forum, but the primary area of guilt that most protest in the book is the controversial issue of self-pleasure. The book most definitely takes a pretty rigid stance on it and that usually stirs much discussion.
The book got me thinking (I read almost 10 years ago) about bad habits I had too, and habits that were harming me in the long run. RW said the extended glance is not problematic except for of it's inconvenience to his wife. I tend to think, for me, that's a bad habit feeding a monster appetite that selfishly takes in images without discipline, however and whenever it pleases.
