Pornography Harms Children – How to Keep Your Children Safe

Children are being exposed to more pornography online than ever before. A recent study found that 42% of all American children aged 10-17 had been exposed to content of pornographic nature. 70% of those kids stated they were not looking for pornographic content.

While there are many harmful side effects of children viewing pornography, it has to be said that not every child who views adult content will be negatively affected and traumatized. The harmful effects of pornography are more cumulative in essence, like the effect of an addict whose increasing craving for his drug leaves him more and more depraved until he is no longer able to recognize reality from fantasy. This is what parents should be most worried about. Children exposed to pornography over a longer period can develop a very unhealthy view on sexuality and may act out in ways that make them susceptible to predators.

Studies have shown that children who experience early exposure to pornography (at age < 14), have a much greater propensity to be involved in deviant sexual practice, particularly involving rape or sex with older partners.

One of the grim consequences of the raising adult like sexual activity among kids is the increase of sexually transmitted diseases in youth. In the US, one in four sexually active teenagers get an STD every year. Infectious syphilis, which may leave the infected person sterile, has more than doubled in reported cases since the late 1980′s. More children contract STD’s every year than ever before. It’s an epidemic threatening all teenagers.

Another unwanted consequence is teenage pregnancy. A study found that young males who frequently watched pornography were much more likely to engage in unprotected sex leading to pregnancies and venereal disease. Of 993 interviewed sex addicts, 90% had been watching pornography since youth.

The major problem with most internet filters today is that they put the burden on the parent. You have to manually block and password protect sites that you don’t want your children to see. You have to spend hours seeking out porn sites to block them. I don’t know about you, but that isn’t something I would enjoy. The problem is also that this kind of service only blocks the websites you choose. That doesn’t stop older kids or other people from emailing or using messaging programs to send porn. In fact, user shared content is the reason the internet is so popular and there will always be a new website to replace the old.

If this prospect does not sound good to you, then you are better of going with a managed internet filtering service. This type of service will do all the work for you by using both technology and human eyes to compose a massive database of website, keywords and even filenames that are blocked. This means that even files or images sent by email or messaging is blocked before your child can open it. These services are by far the best choice.

Funny, this is one of the few addictions that I did not have a problem with.  My roommate would be in his room for hours and hours at a time looking at porn, and masturbating.  he was a really good guy, got good grades in school, and girls actually WANTED TO GO OUT WITH HIM.  It really blew my mind that he would spend all of his time looking at porn.

I used to tell him that he needed to get help.  He would tell me “no way”…”there is no way I am going to sit in a rooom with a bunch of perverts talking about my probelm:”

Honestly I didn’t blame him, I wouldn’t want to sit aroun all day talking about it either.  This is an excellent guide.  It helps you overcome your pornography addiction without feeling terrible about yourself.  It outlines a simple program for life that is not humiliating and does not shame the porn addict.

The fact of the matter is, porn is everywhere on the internet.  Some say it makes up over HALF OF THE INTERNET.  That is kind of ridiculous. So its not the easiest thing to stay away from.  Its not like the alcoholic who just needs to stop walking into the liquor store.

I have great faith in this bok and would recommend it to anyone seeking recovery from porn addiction.  It does take determination and strict adherence to the program.  This book is NOT FOR EVERYONE.  If you are comfortable going to group therapy to talk about your porn addiction, this is not for you.  Otherwise, proceed to the book and you will thank me.

How To Prevent Pornography On Your Home Computers

How To Prevent Pornography On Your Home Computers

Pornography is becoming an ever more present reality to our internet and computer usage and our children aren’t any less a part of it. Today’s parent needs to be equipped with the knowledge of what to do and the methods for how to do it. What people refer to as spy software can actually be professional grade key logger programs that can hone in on and stop inappropriate behavior.

Here are examples of three levels of protection:

1. Software Filters – software filters are a type of program that limits access to certain websites. With an advanced key logger, this should be just one of the many components to it. They are able to block access to websites with inappropriate language or content, as long as the websites accurately report what they contain. Unfortunately, this is not perfect because websites do sometimes classify themselves erroneously (when the should be x-rated). Popular software programs include WebWatcherNow or Net Nanny.

2. Keystroke Recording – people often refer to this type of software program as spy software. Key logger programs are designed to be installed on your computer to monitor and record everything that was typed, every website that was visited, and even every program that was launched. The best software once again has this as just one of its components but it is possible to get this by itself. Alone, they are not able to censor content, but just send a report to whoever installed them about what actions were taken.

3. Child-Friendly ISPs – some internet service providers are actually child friendly! ISPs such as AOL or Compuserve have built in parental control settings that can screen out unacceptable content if enabled.

Remember that with the ease of access to the internet, finding a way to protect your children is a necessary precaution. Try any one of the above listed options, or create the ultimate defense and use many methods in unison because I know your child is worth it!


It’s an age-old question. When is art art and when is it simply pornography?

A great deal of classic works of art contain nudity (and occasionally, sex acts). For this reason, legally a work of art is not considered pornographic under obscenity laws. However, what constitutes “artistic merit” is left somewhat vague because who is in a position to make a judgement between black and white – right or wrong?

What is sublime to one person can be smut to another, and erotic art does nothing if not tease out the difference between stimulating the mind and arousing the senses. 

What I find entertaining is observing the viewers of the world’s most sensuous images, as they arrange their faces into expressions of scholarly interest. The relationship between viewer and image is part of the point, and erotic artist try to tap the voyeur in us all. Let’s face we are all abit curious aren’t we.

The division of objects on moral, as opposed to scholarly, grounds can be traced to the late 18th century and it changed forever our view of classical civilisation. In other words our morality levels adapted to different situations.

By 1864, when “pornography” was first defined in a dictionary, it was as “licentious painting employed to decorate the walls of rooms sacred to Bacchanalian orgies, examples of which exist in Pompeii”. You what? – I hear you cry!

When I have visited exhibitions containing erotic art it’s not about porn. It’s a celebration of what connects all human beings across time and cultures. Normally its about what’s accepted as art and to throw light on our current attitudes or even to see how far those attitudes can be pushed.

And certainly those attitudes have changed. Think about the cast of the bronze fig leaf which was made so that Queen Victoria would not be offended by the replica of Michelangelo’s statue of David in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum and then consider Japanese works that are very explicit. But they are sumptuous, beautiful, delicate and refined.

What about pottery showing the antics of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, through the voluptuous bodies of the Renaissance to contemporary works such as the stylised satirical photographs by Jeff Koons poking fun at the porn industry.

How similar we are in terms of images of sex and joy, but also about the unease in the representation of this private act. And every civilisation has had problems with it. Styles of art have changed over the centuries, while human beings and their desires have essentially stayed the same.

Certainly when a work is old it appears to us as more acceptable as art rather than pornography and art is more complicated than porn, arousing a mixture of emotions. The other big difference is the quality. If you look at the frescoes from Herculaneum, they employed major artists. If you went to a brothel or strip club today, you don’t expect major artists to be deployed.

I shall not attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced as hard-core pornography and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it… It’s got lots of naked women  in suggestive poses. But it’s thoroughly artistic — I swear! Therefore it can’t be considered pornography, and it doesn’t matter that it’s hidden under my bed. Or perhaps the fault is in the viewer, who has a dirty mind.

To me works which contains erotica is fine but anything which suggests violence or sex with children should be banned and burnt.


Does Pornography Leads to Unhappy or Incomplete Sex – What are the Real Causes of Increasing Pornography

Most of the lovers and sex couples treat their partner to be just like a service provider and forget that someone emotionally is in touch with them at that time. These feelings are much found to exist especially in husbands because women are always considered as touched by emotions and feelings toward their partner, exceptions being few. They of course don’t like the behavior of their husband at that time and resulting in the unhappy or incomplete sex. This can help in decreasing the sex enjoyment and fun that it can bring to, from the wives part. And all these results in the unhappy and stressful love and sex life.

Sex is important in our life and creates a positive impact on our health, but what happens when pornography enters in our marriage life and the limit of using it increases with time. Pornography can work negatively in our marriage life leading to unhappiness and depression for both husband and wife and you should therefore limit it usage so that it can be just utilized effectively.

What is the Cause of Increasing Pornography?

Cases of porn addiction are increasing due to the fact that the porn materials are now available freely and easily. It can be internet, DVD, CD, or can be magazine or a novel which is making availability of pornographic materials easy. This increment can be seen more in past 6-7 years due to increasing craze of internet among youngsters.

One of the causes of increasing pornography is also some type of physical problems and disorders in the partners due to which they are unable to turn on and get ready for it…. They always need some medicine for turning on. And in many ways pornography has served the purpose well.


What Is Pornography?

WHAT IS PORNOGRAPHY

By Michael R. Sears

3-12-08

 

Why should the government spend valuable time and resources trying to rid society of such a mundane and innocuous objection as pornography?

It is, in fact, art and helps society. It far more behooves the halls of justice and government to remove such valid evil and wickedness as the 10 commandments. From all the courts, schools, and public places they must be removed. No limitations of money or time are to be spared to hunt down and shoot like a dog every tablet with any jot or tiddle or hint of these wicked words. Every judge with even a thought of these perversions in his or her mind will be removed from the bench. How can a judge properly judge with this bias?

But back to the question: What is pornography?

Well, you know it when you see it, Reagan once said. I think he was right. It’s kind of like the nose on your face. Of course, the pornographist will argue that the nose on your face really is not the nose on your face. It is merely a front of some kind that is innocuous and irrelevant to anything you are concerned with. When confronted with the fact that one must use it to smell with, the pornographist will inevitably say that smell is not needed. It is only one of the five senses and you still have four other perfectly good ones to use; besides no one has ever proved that one needs an actual nose to smell with, since the sensory nerves for smelling are deep within the sinuses and therefore the nose is just a vestigial organ anyway. Besides, how do you know, they say, that your nose is actually a nose? It could be an extension of your forehead or a protrusion of your face and not actually a nose indeed as some have wrongly speculated.

When confronted with the fact that pornography is evil and should not be allowed in our society, they argue that it has great artistic benefits and is of great benefit to society and that perhaps there is a nose on our face after all and it can be used for good, but only if they are allowed to describe it and define its use and tell us what good it is. It is also actually good for women and men and does not degrade them in any way whatsoever, but puts them upon the highest pedestal of honor. It is their choice, they say, just like abortion. We should be free to choose whatever we want, they rabidly defend with white spit foaming from their mouths as their red faces hold back the violence they would do to you were we not in public. This freedom of choice, of course, does not extend to Christians praying in school, teaching the record backed facts of creation instead of the far fetched theory of evolution, or judges posting the 10 commandments in his or her court room or things like that. These things are so evil that they must be controlled by the government to protect us stupid people from ourselves.

So we have it. pornography and the pornographist walking hand in hand down all of America’s highways and byways, freely exploiting and perverting our children and grand children and us, while all the while singing anthems in our churches and proclaiming that sex with children and animals, violence, perversion, snuff flicks, and homosexuality of every kind is well within the norm of human behavior and is oh so very good for each and every one of us that we should all embrace it with great glee. How dare any of you Christians to come against our great bastion of strength and good for humanity. How dare you to interfere with our freedom of choice! What would your children and grandchildren say?

So, what is pornography?

According to the pornographist and those who are fed by its filthy money, it is art and some of the finest examples of humanity. If the public demands it, it must be good.

To the Christian it is perversion, violence, exploitation, evil, lawlessness, and a cancer in our society. It is kind of like the nose on your face!

Where are all those politicians, judges, and lawmakers when you need them?

Probably in the whorehouse, taking a break from their job, enjoying some art and getting some religious counsel from all the priests and preachers there.


Married Life Relationships of Emotions and Break ups with Pornography

Wife is always believed to be joined with the string called as emotion with their husband if it breaks up their joint will also no longer remain as joined. Wife at this time does not feel themselves safe even with their husband. Husband comparing his wife with the actress in the pornography tend to lose their knot of love between them. When wife come to this truth will not be feeling any more easy, to make sex with their husbands and may lead in their break ups.

According to some psychologists 50% of the cases they solve for the married couples, the problem actually is being a porn addict of one of the either partners. So try to be aware when husband is trying to make fun of too much of porn materials. If it of course is reaching at its limit and affecting your life don’t forget to consult your psychologist soon.

Pornography can also work positively if in all respects husbands and wives are well informed of its negative affects and consequences when used much. If husband and wife are having sufficient knowledge about sex and they feel themselves healthy for doing so, using pornography will no affect them and their marriage life much, as they will use it only fro a limited time. They will treat this as a source of enjoyment for a limited time.

Market of pornography

- In whole world pornography gets around 58 billion business per year.

- Approximately 60% of internet users searches pornography at a time.

- Approximately 20% of internet websites are related to pornography and makes big money through it.

- 2.5 billion pornographic emails are sent daily in the whole world.


Love and Sex Life of Married Couples – Is It Really Affected by Increasing Pornography?

Pornography and Pornographic materials are now easily available and you need not talk or consult for it with anyone these are mainly preferred by the youngsters and younger married couples. Many of the married couples also take the help of pornography continuously without knowing about its side effects that it can cause. They hardly have any idea that if they always take the help of pornography it can adversely affect their sex life and can create problems for them in future. It can have negative results on their health and can prove to be harmful for them if they are inhabitant of that.

Behavior in ways of enjoying and understanding sex completely changes when it is immersed in the fantasies of Pornography. Habitual partner cannot see and feel the sex as a natural behavior which is started in the body naturally by the closeness of the partner and not by artificial ways of pornography. Because of this couple cannot have a comfortable sex resulting in their feelings for sex in lowering down slowly day by day which can also affect the other aspects of marriage life adversely.

The images seen in the pornography films or read in magazines or seen on internet are totally different from the real life. The intercourse and orgasms shown are not as true story as seen in it. It also greatly dumbs the mind, of the person seeing it, in listening any of the feelings of human nature.

Whether its husband or wife, if the limit of pornography increases, it starts changing the mind view of the person. It just acts as a medicine which is consumed in as heavy dose. And this medicine will surely cause some side effects as it is taken in heavy dose. Feelings towards sex are being killed and an animalistic behavior of the partner takes the birth. And after using pornography for a prolonged period of time, person’s feelings and sex behavior changes, they are not excited even by seeing these images. It only takes the form of hunger for a body, and body feels always starving for sex.

The feelings and emotions of the humans are deeply rocked in the heart of pornographic addict’s. This leads to a depression, anger, tension and in some cases even takes the form of fight between the partners.


What is Pornography – Is It Only Based on Fantasies and Not Reality

Pornographers use specific tactics to target the male and female markets according to the dramatic differences in male and female brain structure, and how each views sexuality and intimacy differently.

So coming to the topic that what is sex? Pornography is the sort of images of sexual activities or an intercourse between the sexes. This can be served by either films, magazines, or can be served by internet.

This pornography is almost ready for those who are interested in seeing or reading it, everywhere around them. Pornography has the power to ignite the inner fire of the human immediately when used first time. It can excite the inner feelings of human and helps them in turning on for sex instantly. It can also in some cases behave as a sex medicines and pills that are used to excite the human organs. Some of the married couples make the use of this pornography for making the changes in their routine life. Pornography is the thing by which many of the people feels much better after utilizing it in different ways.

According to one of the survey maximum number of people creates it a habit of seeing or reading pornographic materials regularly and in some cases daily, after using it once. They feel much better and relaxed after using it. They actually do not have an idea of its negative side effect that can be caused. They just become habitual of it. Pornography simply acts as an alcohol or drugs for them and these people get addicted to it. They even feel depressed and stressed when they can’t find it.

Pornography Based on Only Fantasies and is Not Real…

Pornography is only imaginary and is not real. The images and content you see in the pornographic materials are based on only fantasies, which can only be utilized in exciting the feelings of human. It instantly turns on man and woman by providing rapid erection in men.

Pornography being totally imaginary and having no connections with the actual sex activities at all can affect the person using them, adversely in their mind. Pornography is totally believed to be full of fantasies and does not correlate with the actual human feelings “which the sex actually is”.

According to a recent research done recently in USA it is clear that if a person watches, reads or use pornography any way for one hour in a week or less, it does not have negative effect on person’s marriage life. While using pornography for 10 hours or more can affect adversely the person’s life, giving them stress, depression, etc. when they could not get it. They can always be in depressed and stressed position for being habitual to it.

The person reading or seeing the pornographic images keeps themselves in the world of fantasy and they are enjoyed to their utmost in remaining there. They totally forget about their partners, they also don’t mind that who is there with them during enjoying sex and the sexual activities with their partners.
