INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY HATES WOMEN
A culture that claims to value women while also accepting pornography is self deceptive. The research on the damage that pornography is doing to our culture is clear. Here is a representative website that has information. In this post the FIGHT THE NEW DRUG website suggests an insightful way to talk to children and youth about the damage.

Pornography.
It’s been directly linked to physical problems like early erectile dysfunction, depression, irreversible relationship issues, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation. There’s a huge amount of information—you can find a lot of it in our blog—detailing the problems associated with porn, all of which are worth our attention. These are all issues that have arisen alongside the internet, which has made porn both more available and affordable than ever, and opened the physical and mental pathways to ever more degrading, extreme content.
Understanding the real-world negative effects of the global porn industry on individuals and society is important, but it requires some expertise and detailed explanation of some pretty complicated issues. That’s not too hard for most of us, but if understanding the problems with porn requires a mostly-developed brain, how can we teach kids that porn has unavoidable downsides before they’ve already been exposed to some of the worst of what the internet has to offer?
