The truth about pornography is that it is a drug. No longer
can we treat it as a just a risqué form of social media; it should be exposed
for what it is. Many people have joined together to fight against this blight
on society and have decided that we will no longer sit passively and watch as
it destroys families and individuals. The following video was produced by a new
organization, Fight the New Drug, and
does a good job at revealing pornography for what it is. Watch it now:
"When we are born, we are given a world built on the decisions of previous generations. A world created by their choices: some good, some bad. Decisions are constantly made without the knowledge of how they will affect us, our society and our world." I love that line. This is something we would all do well to think about before we decide to make any big decisions in our lives. How will this change my life? How will this change my family? How will this change my community?
As pointed out in this video, in 1948 Dr. Alfred Kinsey published his book: Sexual Behavior in the Human Male where he postulated that all sexual urges should be pursued. Now, I will give this man the benefit of the doubt in saying that human sexuality was not as prevalent on the market as it is now; yet as a biologist and a scientist he should have known among the many different traits that set us apart from animals one of them is self-control. In the 66 years since the publication of Kinsey's first book many new discoveries about human sexuality and the adverse effects of reckless sexual activity. People who engage in "high risk activities" such as prostitution, use of heroin, homosexual activities, or sexual promiscuity are at large more vulnerable to contract life ending diseases such as AIDS/HIV.
The "sexual revolution" of the 60s and 70s was brought about largely because of the publication of Kinsey's books. Part of this "revolution" (or as I would call it rebellion against morality) was the publication of pornography. Just as cocaine, heroin, and tobacco we at first thought to be harmless or even helpful, pornography became normal and was thought to be a social or moral debate rather than a medical or scientific debate. But just as medical research revealed the truth about tobacco and cocaine, pornography has been exposed by medical research to cause similar effects on the brain as cocaine and heroin. No longer can we look at pornography in the same light, we need to look at it as the drug it is rather than a "gentleman's pursuit".
"Porn is like a drug: it can rewire the brain, form addictions, alter views about sex, objectify the human body, fuel the demands for sex slavery, and reshape society as a whole." The reality is with the sexual liberation movement of the sixties and seventies, our society has become more promiscuous, more animalistic as opposed to being refined and moral. There have been no good things that have come from pornography or this modern society based on "free love". It has only destroyed the family and led us further away from developing real, meaningful relationships with other people. Men and women are now seen as objects for our sexual pleasure, rather than people from whom we can learn and grow. "Pornography is often violent and abusive, a degrading lie that distorts the very meaning of healthy relationships and love." Pornography sets unrealistic sexual expectations for its users and ultimately destroys the self-respect and beauty in a healthy relationship. It is as detrimental to our health as any other drug.
Organizations like Fight the New Drug are dedicated to reverse the adverse effects on society of actions taken by individuals more than 60 years ago. We do not have to define ourselves by the decisions of previous generations. We have the power to support those who are addicted and fight to eradicate the use of this new drug among society.
