Porn

So I went to this event called "Porn Nation." Its about what the pornography industry is doing to our culture. Firstly, let me say, I really really hate porn. I would be so glad if the porn HQ was blown to bits (as long as no one was hurt). Porn degrades and destroys women. It gives them this notion that they must give sex to get love and that they are worth nothing if they are not sexually desirable. It tells girls that sex means love, that they are interchangable. It tells guys that they can treat girls like trash, that they can own women, that women are nothing more than boobs and a vagina. It says they can have sex with a woman and discard her with not damage, but the truth is that it is damaging. With every empty sexual act, a woman gives away a little bit more of her self-esteem and respect. Women dress provocativley, but don't realize that if they dress like a skank, they will be treated like a skank. The guys who will give them the real love they are seeking will not be the guys to come calling. They don't understand the importance of sexual purity, modesty and integrity. Porn is damaging to men as well. It pulls them into an unrealistic model of what a real woman does, and when they find out women aren't in the mood every second of the day and don't want to stick penis in their mouths, they are ledt bored, disillusioned. Millions of men struggle with sexual addictions and the reprecusions of giving into the temptations porn so readily administers. Looking at porn is infidelity. Taking your lust into your palm for a woman that is not your wife or significant other is cheating, and is just as painful for the woman, even if you don't already have a sexual relationship with her. Trust me, I know. Oddly enough one of the soundtrack songs was Linkin Park's "Numb". This is the song that I associate with the "numbness" I eventually felt towards my ex-boyfriends porn addiction. Even though we weren't having sex or anything like that at all, he knew how I felt about it, and still did it over and over again. He'd confess to me, and it was always very painful, until after a while I grew numb to it. I expected it, and him saying it once again slid off me. This doesn't mean it didn't hurt anymore. It meant that it hurt too much for me to accept that hurt. Porn destroys women, it destroys men, and it destroys relationships and lives. Porn Sucks.
