What's the Big Deal about Porn?

One of the common defences of pornography use is that it's a victimless crime. "What does it matter what an adult does by his or herself in the privacy of their home? It's not hurting anyone."

This video does a very good job of telling the true story: that pornography consumption does not exist in a vacuum. In addition to the harm it does to the user, the lust industry also does harm to marriages and families; to dating relationships; to the performers in porn films; to the victims of those inspired by aggressive or violent porn; and to those forced into the sex trade, including children.   

I really believe that part of the personal battle against porn is to force yourself to see reality, not the fantasy they are trying to sell. The fantasy is a mirage; the reality is sad and dehumanizing.    

Let's live in the truth.
