“Pornography” and
its negative effects on our culture.
Pornography
and its existence, has gone back almost as far as humans themselves.
Archeologists have dug up artifacts from before ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures
were first thought to have begun. The consisted of different types of
sculptures depicting sex
between men and woman. And even more disturbing, sex acts with the
same sex and even with animals. Later in history, the more common pornographic pieces were pictures and
paintings, but in 1839 photography was invented and then there were no holds
bared. It made pornography accessable to the masses and much easier to
reproduce and profit from.
Pornography
has long been condemned and legally proscribed in the belief that it depraves
and corrupts both minors and adults and that it leads to the commission of sex
crimes. Occasionally, important artistic or even religious works have been
banned because they are considered pornographic under such assumptions. From the
beginning of men and woman, Just about all religious groups have condemned the
act of pornography.
They say that “God
says it’s the way to the devil and fortification without marriage is sinful”.
Don’t really know if I believe in that one, but sometimes enough should be
enough. Why is it that everyone wants what they don’t have, and doesn’t
appreciate what they do have? It’s sad and we all should be happy for what and
who we have.
Pornography has had a devastating effect on a
lot of couples
and marriages, some studies have shown that the percentages of
relationships failing due to pornography are on the rise. Married men involved in pornography report
feeling less satisfied with their marital relations and less emotionally
attached to their wives, the study says. It also notes that men who regularly
use pornography or women who engage in “cyber sex” show increased infidelity. It’s
said that the use of pornography more than triples the divorce rate, and that
68% of divorces involved one of the partners meeting someone new over the internet.
Internet
pornography has become a wide spread epidemic and also has damaged many
relationships. 68% of divorces have been blamed on one part having a “obsession
with internet porn”.
The internet makes the delivery of porn to easy
for people who have these types of addictions. Pornography is like a drug and
can become very addictive. Porn addicts have a harder time recovering than
cocaine addicts, because it’s easier to get drugs out of your system than
images out of your mind.
Pornography really does, unlike other
addictions, biologically cause direct release of the most perfect addictive
substance, it causes masturbation, which causes release of the naturally
occurring opioids. It does what heroin can't do, in effect. It’s also been said
that there’s a growing number of men that are developing sexual
problem’s induced by porn. It seems that with each new dopamine spike, the
brain is losing its ability to respond to dopamine signals.
Therefor the person
needs increasingly higher doses of exposure to feel the same effect, thus the
addiction. Pornography has a destructive effect
on our society, and I don’t see how anyone can argue with that. Would anyone
argue that addictive drugs like meth amphetamines are good for our society, I
think not. I’ve found countless articles
and studies done by reputable people and none of them are pro- pornography.
I’ve only found one
article from a professional stating that pornography can help some
relationships and some people which have certain sexual problems. The only
other people who seem to be for porn are pro-choice advocates and the dealers
of porn that like all the money they make.
So let’s clean it
up people, remember “cleanliness is next to Godliness”
