Pornography - Leaflet

Pornography is a very bad idea - personally, socially, economically.

Pornography might seem to be ok because it's all in my imagination. But that's precisely one of the problems. Pornography manipulates and damages my imagination. It trains me to divorce sexual enjoyment from an environment of love, friendship, kindness and responsibility, to view the erotic beauty of a naked body outside of this dynamic context. And in the real world, to train myself like this is to train myself for broken relationships, frustration, insecurity and maybe even abuse.

Professional athletes know the importance of shaping themselves psychologically. Using a technique called visualisation, an athlete will imagine himself crossing the finishing line first, hitting a winning shot, scoring a decisive goal under pressure, and he will imagine himself doing it again and again. Imagination can be shaped, and the way it is shaped will influence an athlete's performance "in the real world." It's not about tricking myself: it's about unleashing and channelling the power of my dreams, shaping my desire and energy based on what’s best.

So what do I want: unstable sexual gratification devoid of enduring love and real intimacy? Or deep sexual enjoyment within the context of beautiful love and strong, lasting and exciting friendship? Pornography certainly won’t help me get the second.

Maybe you know about the proven correlation between pornography addiction and acts of sexual violence, including rape and paedophilia. You know that according to the FBI the most common interest among serial killers is hardcore pornography. Or that another study found that 87% of criminal paedophiles were regularly involved in hardcore pornography. But then again, maybe you don’t. It’s a lucrative industry, and one that has no interest in being upfront about the severely negative effects of its "products."
