Pornographic
and sexually explicit material abounds throughout the internet and the
media. Many people are, unfortunately not aware of the harm caused by
it.
Nowadays, content of a sexual nature and
erotic material has mass prevalence in the media and society. With more
and more sexually explicit content all around, there is an ever growing
population of people who are adversely affected.
The Porn Industry and Money
The porn industry makes up for an astounding percentage of the world’s generated income.
Statistics
according to toptenreviews.com reveal that the industry succeeds in
making revenues of more than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo,
Apple and Netflix all combined. Stats say that “Every second, $3,075.64
is being spent on pornography” and “every second, 28,258 users are
viewing pornography online.” According to various reports, the porn
industry is making an annual revenue of $97.06 billion.
This is truly a staggering reflection of how the public has been influenced by sexually provocative material.
Those who view pornographic material
state often that it is completely harmless. However, these individuals
are often unaware of the damage they may be causing to their psyches and
also the effect on their social behavior and conduct. There is a huge
increase of people who are currently suffering from an
addiction to pornography.
Those struggling with this addiction
have been found to suffer from various symptoms of emotional and
psychological problems. According to psychological studies, men who
indulge in erotic material tend to have disturbing attitudes towards
women. They are also often desensitized towards acts of a sexually
violent nature. People convicted of violent sexual crime have often been
discovered to have been avid porn users and in many cases, viewed
pornographic material just before they committed a crime.
Effects of Porn or Sex Addiction
The Organization of Sexual Recovery
(sexualrecovery.com) states that porn addicts often start off with soft
porn and gradually move onto harder and more sado-masochistic content.
Individuals who view porn and are
married often struggle with relationship issues and conflict as well as
intimacy complications. Statistically, the
effects of a porn addiction appear quite detrimental in terms of social demeanor and emotional well-being.
Pornography de-personalizes attitudes
towards women and can provoke aggression in the viewer. One tends to
start viewing women as sexually desired objects rather than spiritual or
emotional beings. This can have a major negative effect on the way men
relate to women socially.

Despite most of society’s lack of
concern pertaining to the effects of harmful sexual exposure, it is
evident that sexually explicit and suggestive multimedia has a huge
impact on the world’s conceptions and practice of sexual relationships.
Also, there appears to have become a general degradation of moral and
ethical values in regards to sexual activity.
The media could be blamed for
continually advocating sexual misconduct, but in respect of the fact
that this is just the way society functions at present, it is the duty
of this generation’s parents to raise
children with an acute awareness of the dangers involved in succumbing to the lures of pornography.
