Porn Addiction (or Obsession or Compulsion)

Videos about porn addiction, (or porn obsession/compulsion), & how it has harmed those addicted to/obsessed with pornography, as well as their families, loved ones, & others. (Of course that person's porn addiction has also harmed the people in the porn videos. This is because every time a porn video is being viewed and masturbated to, someone is taking pleasure in the objectification, exploitation and/or abuse of another person. This is a violation of someone's dignity & humanity.) These videos and the below also include info about "sex addiction", and how to best overcome it &/or pornography addiction. THE FIVE STAGES OF PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION: * EARLY EXPOSURE: Most men or women who get addicted to porn start early. They see porn when they are very young & it gets its foot in the door. * PORN ADDICTION: You keep coming back to porn. It becomes a regular part of your life. You're hooked and can't quit. * ESCALATION: You start to look for more graphic pornography. You start using porn that disgusted you earlier. Now, it excites you. * DESENSITIZATION: You start to become numb to the images you see. Even the most graphic porn doesn't excite you any more. You become desperate to feel the same thrill again, but you can't find it. * ACTING OUT SEXUALLY: This is the point where men or women make a crucial jump and start acting out the images they have seen. Some move from the paper & plastic images of porn into the real world, with real people, in destructive ways. Ref: InfoCounselingAssociates.com ** NOTE TO PORN USERS: If you wouldn't be OK with your own daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend, or mother, etc. being in porn, (and countless thousands of boys and men masturbating to objectifying and dehumanizing images of them on a regular basis), why would it be okay for you to masturbate to images of other peoples daughters, sisters, wives, girlfriends, or mothers, etc.? It is important to remember that every single girl or woman that you see in pornography IS indeed somebody's daughter. (And/or sister, or wife, or girlfriend, or mother.) And they are every bit as worthy of respect and being treated with dignity as YOUR daughter, or sister, or wife, or girlfriend, or mother. Assuming you wouldn't be okay with your own daughter being in pornography, you can either continue to use pornography and choose hypocrisy, selfishness and indifference, OR you can choose to treat other people's daughters as you would want your OWN daughters to be treated, stop using porn, and thus choose to embrace empathy, kindness & compassion and be a better person and live with integrity.

Because... a) It's the right thing to do. b) Silence is complicity, and that's not an option for anyone with a conscience. c) "The only thing that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." -- Attributed to Edmund Burke. d) "You must be the change that you wish to see in the world." -- Gandhi. Lastly... it was once stated bluntly at the porn site 'gag factor (dot) com', that "Porn destroys women. That's why we love it." They are quite correct, pornography does destroy women -- both those in the industry and those outside of it. It also destroys girls, boys, and all men globally, and thus all humanity. It is a multibillion-dollar industry in which girls and women are commonly referred to as "bitches", "sluts", and "whores", and that sells products that promote the degradation of women as well as cruelty and abuse. (Examples include video titles such as: "Cum Face F**k Dolls", "Use 'Em, Abuse 'Em, and Lose 'Em 19", and "Human Toilet Bowls 3." Note: All titles taken from Oct. 2008 AVN.com charts of best selling, most rented, or most downladed porn titles.) So...we can all either just sit back and let pornographers continue to wreak havoc on the human race by allowing them to continue to spread misogyny, destroy human compassion and empathy, and to fuel international sex trafficking & sexual slavery, (and let them continue to "love" doing so), or we can choose to do something about it. This channel represents the choice to be part of the solution rather than remain silent and thus be part of the problem. "Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have." -- Margaret Mead Also see FAQs below in the "Crime, Rape, Violence, & Porn Connection" playlist section, especially #1, the rest of this channel, & this channel's videos, including all of the annotations & descriptions.
