Why Porn is So Destructive to Men
(Secular Version)by Jen Shroder
8/6/05
A man’s heart will drop out of his chest at the image of sensuous
breasts atop a slender waste, a firm derriere and a welcoming smile.
What could be wrong with that? A man’s interest is healthy and natural
as women work out hoping to achieve and keep that interest.
Thus the Internet is an endless well of
images and ideas beyond imagination, an easy thrill without a victim,
it would seem. So for hours, then days, then weeks and months, the
Internet can be a man’s best friend. His fantasies are stirred and
satiated, and nobody needs to know.
Until one day, the thrill is not so thrilling and the forbidden
fruit doesn’t taste forbidden. A man can only live out so many
positions and situations with beautiful women, whether in fantasy or
real life, before it starts to lose it’s appeal, and so he looks to
add something new and liven it up. There are a lot of roads to choose
from. Maybe it’s multiple women, maybe it’s orgies, maybe it’s tying
up a woman or being tied up, there are no limits to what can be
explored adding a little harmless "kink." But eventually, that too
will lose its luster, and every man’s nature will cause him to push
the envelope, bite a little harder, delve a little deeper. Like a drug
addict, anything he chooses will eventually lose its impact and he has
to find a little more to find satisfaction.
With enough time, and with such easy access on the Internet, a
man’s mind can easily spiral into the darkest depths of depravity.
Eventually men become concerned about where his appetite is leading
him. No one simply started looking for lonely female victims on their
way to the store to buy milk. No one just woke up one day and decided
to join in and gang rape young children.
Counseling a man addicted to porn is one of the hardest endeavors
in therapy. There are no easy solutions. Men often find it impossible
to be aroused by their wives no matter how great their love of them. I
know a pastor who, prior to committing his life to Christ,
participated in orgies and wife-swapping which ruined his marriage.
After he divorced, he made every effort to turn his life around, he
became a pastor and met a wonderful woman that he loved very much, but
was devastated when he could not consummate the marriage on his
wedding night. God’s most sacred gift, the joining of a man to a
woman, had been abused and perverted for so many years with so many
women that it wasn’t special with his new bride. It wasn’t sacred. It
was reduced to an animal act that demanded the thrill of perversion,
and he wept.
Men attempting to turn back the clock of their potency are easily
reduced to tears in the trial. One cannot simply will themselves to be
aroused by what became boring to them long ago. All those hours they
fantasized they were unwittingly robbing their future wives of their
wedding bed, or worse, for if they ventured deep into the realm of
porn, many have reached the point that they are hanging around school
yards preying on our children.
Remember John Lockhart, the young lawyer on America’s Most Wanted
for raping a four month old infant? Over 100 pornographic pictures
were found on his hard drive. These woeful acts, these atrocities are
born in fantasies fed by the Internet. Every crime committed is
fantasized first. Where the mind goes, the body follows. Whether a
fantasy is acted upon or not, there is serious damage.
And it is for this reason that every Supreme Court Justice that
ruled to protect pornography on the Internet will be horrified when
they finally understand the damage they have done, the sickening
crimes they imposed on society with their ruling. The broken bodies of
dead children, the tortured hearts and minds of those attempting to
live out their lives after being molested. Not one of the judges in
our nation that protect pornography as "freedom of speech" or lighten
the sentences of pedophiles will be able to face death confidently.
In the meantime, stay away from pornography. It may be legal, but
it will soil your soul. Though it seems harmless, it can seriously
suck you in, lead you down dark roads, ruin your life and
relationships with those you love. I wish you could hear the cracked
voices and sobs of strong men that I’ve heard. Pornography is nothing
to play with. Ask anyone who has ever tried to quit.
