How porn hurts the users’ partner:
“Two of the most respected pornography researchers, Jennings Bryant and Dolf Zillman at the University of Alabama, studied the effects of porn and media for more than 30 years. They found that consuming pornography makes many individuals less satisfied with their own partners’ physical appearance, sexual performance, sexual curiosity, and affection. They also found that, over time, many porn users grow more callous toward females in general, less likely to value monogamy and marriage, and more likely to develop distorted perceptions of sexuality.”
“Women are also generally portrayed as anxious for sex anywhere, at any time, with anyone, and they are delighted to go as long and aggressively as one man or multiple men want. They always climax, usually loudly and ecstatically, and then are immediately ready for more. They never get tired or sore. They never need a break. In fact, they never seem to need anything at all except endless sex. They are depicted as happy with whatever a man wants to do, even if it’s dangerous, painful, or humiliating.”

Moms and dads, this is SERIOUS business—as is the porn industry. It is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, in large part because porn is so addictive. And the porn industry LOVES to get its users started young, so they can have an addicted user willing to pay for it their whole life long. They are already grooming your children to become their best customers.
I’ve written and published plenty of articles on HOW to protect your kids from porn. I’ll link them below, but please don’t forget: YOU and your openness to TALK about with your kids is the FIRST line of defense in the war against porn taking a hold on your child’s heart.
Gear up, moms and dads. The battle started a long time ago, and we cannot sit this one out.
