Today is the last piece of my 3 part series on “what guys need to understand about sex.” Today’s topic is pornography. Porn is like a drug and it can destroy us.
If you are a parent, please read this. It may help you understand what is going on in your child’s head. If you are guy…you definitely need to read this. Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Because we as guys are designed by God to be fascinated with the female body and because we, especially as young men have a powerful sex drive, pornography is incredibly dangerous. Research shows that 50% of us are addicted to pornography. That is how porn works. It is highly addictive, and like other drugs, gateway porn leads to harder and harder porn.
I’ve talked with many guys who accidentally stumbled upon porn and within a few years they were compulsively viewing harder and harder pornography several times a day, engaging in sexting and eventually acting out their fantasies.
Understand this: pornography is not controllable. It cannot stay compartmentalized. It leaks into the other areas of your life. It is like a campfire that jumps its barriers and becomes a raging forest fire. Pornography has the power to destroy you and the relationships that you care about the most.
