Gender Differences And Pornography Addiction
Introduction As pornography becomes more prevalent in society, it is important to understand what impact pornography has on individuals and
relationships. We are specifically interested in pornography addiction and how an addiction affects marital satisfaction. Pornography addiction is often
thought of as a male's problem, so we also want to look at gender differences and pornography addiction. We would like to see if pornography addiction
affects the relationship differently depending on what gender the user is. Various researchers have conducted studies on pornography andmarriage, but
many were cross sectional. For the purposes of this study, we are going to use a longitudinal design. With a longitudinal design we are able to observe
how marital satisfaction changes over time.
Introduction and Research Questions Numerous studies have been conducted on the topic of pornography. These studies have provided us with many
answers, but there are still unanswered questions. The purpose of this current study is to add to current research on pornography and marriage. We are
interested in pornography addiction and how marital satisfaction is affected depending on the gender of the user. We also want to know how partners
reaction to pornography use affects self–esteem depending on gender of user.

Alexy Burgess And Prentky: Article Analysis
Alexy, Burgess, and Prentky investigate a potential association between sexually aggressive behavior in minors and their exposure to and use of
pornographic material. The authors use other extensive research, from other expert psychologists in the field of sexual behavior, as the foundation that
inspired the study they are presenting. The authors demonstrate how older subjects involved in pedophilia, rape, and harassment, among other sexual
aggressive behaviors, have had a strong connection with pornography early in their youth. Alexy, Burgess, and Prentky use this staggering information
to support their position that pornography is a risk marker to sexual aggression, in children and adolescents in their current state and in the long term. ...

The responsibility to educate adolescents, as they become aware of their sexuality, is shared between parents and school teachers. The authors,
however, reveal that most parents neglect or relinquish this central and innate responsibility, to educate, to school teachers. Janković, Malatestinić,
and Striehl affirm with certainty that if the parents neglect to educate their children, then the media, with its vast stimulation of the senses and societal
popularity–standard shifting powers, and their peers will do it for them. The study focuses on the parents' opinion and disposition to educate their

Pornography And Its Effects On Society
Pornography and Its Effects What is pornography? Porn or porno is any visual, audial or printed material, created with the sole purpose of bringing
arousal or sexual excitement to audiences. Internet driven pornography is most common form of porn, as it provides free unregulated and
unrestricted access to different forms of pornographic materials. It makes porn readily available for viewing at any place, ranging from homes to
offices, and at any time. The regular consumption of porn by a male has negative effects on the choices he makes and alters his behavior and psyche in
the process. Pornography demeans and objectifies women, and as a result degrades the perception most male porn consumers have about women.
Prolonged consumption of pornography by men produces stronger notions of women as commodities or as 'sex objects'. "The diffusion of such a
distorted view of women's nature in our society as it exists supports sexist (i.e., male–centered) attitudes and thus reinforces the oppression and
exploitation of women" (Longino 48). Many males believe that females should be submissive to them. Porno reinforces these preexisting inclinations
and perceptions males already have about women, increasing the likelihood of males sexually harassing females. Aggressive and violent behaviors and
sexually hostility to women are not only tolerated but encouraged in porn. Thus, excessive viewing of porn alters many males perception about women,
and increases the likelihood of aggression,

The Consumption Of Internet Pornography And Sexual Addictions
Prior to the death of Mr. Collins father, his consumption of Internet pornography and sexual chatting was not considered remarkable. He appeared to be
able to function sexually while masturbating and during sexual intercourse with the partners in his life prior to this life–altering event. Mr. Collins
expressed a relatively normal desire for sexual contact as a teenager as well as desire to couple with partners his age in traditional ways, but after the
death of his father, what normally produced the arousal necessary to ejaculate while masturbating and having sexual intercourse, no longer appears to
have had the desired effect. It is at this time that it appears that the symptoms of depression began to manifest in Mr. Collins life, depressed mood,
decreased interest or pleasure, change in sleep, change in activity, and concentration. As these symptoms manifested, it appears that the indicators of
Hypersexual Disorder began to develop; excessive masturbation, obsessing about sex to the point that it interfered with his life, spending significant
time planning their sexual activity, frequent viewing of pornography or use of sexually explicit websites or other online services including adult chat
rooms, frequent one–night stands with strangers, staying emotionally detached from sexual partners, frequently engaging in paraphilias, and inability to
stop despite the consequences.

Pornography Addiction Essay
Sexual exploitation by selling sex is one of the oldest businesses in human history. But the world has never seen such an increase in the acceptance of
pornography than in the last 25 years. Neither has the world ever been in a place where sexually explicit material is so accessible to everyone, in the
privacy of their own homes, due to the internet. Because of the growth of the social acceptance and universal accessibility of pornography, the effects
have been widespread and damaging. Pornography has significant effects on the viewer, their brain and their real life relationships; it has effects on
the people making the porn, and in turn, our society and our world has been greatly affected by the extensive use of porn.

This happens in the context of relationships where the partners are committed to each other and are in tune with each other's emotions. Surveys in the
U.S. have found that the people who have the best sex and the most thrilling sex are those in long term happy relationships.(Dr Sue...) When having
sex in a committed long term relationship one's body chemically allows the pleasure to continue and deeply bonds them with their partner; contrarily,
when engaging in porn, one's body chemically causes pleasure to diminish with each encounter as the viewer is not bonding emotionally with another
person. Porn allows the viewer to have temporary desires fulfilled with decreasing pleasure and lack of any deep, personal relationships.
To take the effects of consumption of porn in the context of a relationship to a level of depth of scientific research, complaints from porn users in their
teens and twenties are reported complaining that they can't maintain an erection (Is Internet Porn..). " The 2001–2002 rates for older men 40–80 were

Is Addiction to Pornography a Brain Disease?
Is Addiction, Brain Disease?
Pornography addiction and sex addiction are very alike sicknesses, arguably a sex addiction is not a disease or sickness however, and I feel as if it is.
Walking around a sex addict you would probably never know about their disorder unless told otherwise. Many debates are about whether or not sexual
addiction is an actual brain disease but just like drug addiction and alcohol addiction I classify it as the same. In a study taken in 2013 The Discovery
Channel found that neurological scientists hooked up people with a so called sex addiction and compared there brain activity to those that have a
drug or alcohol addiction finding that the activities did not match and that sex addicts were not classified as actually having a brain disease. I still
believe sexual addiction is a neurological disorder however studies show that it is not, I am here to prove it is indeed. The fMRI is a scientific tool
used to record brain functions this machine has also helped teach scientist more about the addiction disease characteristics of the brain "The fMRI

nothing." People cannot overcome pornography by himself. The risk of using pornography is truly dangerous. It is hurtful and unsafe. It alters those
who generate it and those who uses it. It is a display of insult for both men and women; a great danger for children and it should be stop. Pornography
in general degrades behavioral aspect of well–being; fighting this problem needs effort in many areas. For some people it is almost impossible to quit
pornography especially if it is in addiction level. However, one of the benefits of overcoming pornography is the capability to be entirely committed to
another person in a loving way; enjoyment of a true loving sex and true happiness.

The Effects of Pornography
There is a new threat to society, an up and coming monster slowly awakening from its deep slumber. Pornography is this monster and it is a problem.
Pornography has been around since the mid–1600's, during the 1970's the industry was revolutionized by the beginning of the internet and the changes
in social mores, allowing them to create more uncommon and risque media. Since that time though it has only grown into a bigger problem for many
people, which can become an addiction. Pornography is a growing addiction and it can cause the user lots of harm because, it changes the way the
userЕ› brain works, cause you to become violent, and can change the way you look at and love others.
When someone uses pornography it rewires the brain and changes how it works on a day–to–day basis. Dopamine is a chemical in your body that
causes you to be happy and want to do things. Just like with other addictive substances when pornography is used it causes a flow of dopamine to
rush into the brain. With a constant rush of dopamine the brain's reward pathway is rewired, which changes the makeup of the viewer 's brain. In the
article How Porn Changes the Brain on from www.fightthenewdrug.org they say your brain has pathways for all kinds of things like riding a bike,
eating a sandwich, but when pornography is viewed the brain creates a new pathway for that. "As a frequent porn user's brain acclimates to

The Negative Effects Of Pornography And The Entertainment...

watching movies on weekends. Meanwhile others stay at home binge–watching their favorite shows on Netflix or Hulu. One of the most controversial
forms of entertainment, however, is known as adult films otherwise known as pornography. Pornography is a very controversial form of entertainment
because of how it negatively affects society today.
In order to understand the negative effects of pornography, the term itself must be properly defined. Britanica.com, one of the world's oldest and
highest rated encyclopedias, states that the word "pornography" can be derived from the Greek word porni graphein which means "any work of art or
literature depicting the life of prostitutes." (Jenkins, 2017) The modern–day English word, according to America's number one dictionary
Meriam–Webster, means "material (such as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement." These
definitions combined define pornography as any form of media that entertains its viewer with sexually arousing content. With the term properly
defined, the scope of the adult film industry must be fully realized in order to understand how large of an influence it has society. The website
Family Safe Media states on its website that, "Since 1998, Family Safe Media has been dedicated to providing the latest products and services that
can help parents control the media in their homes." One of the services that they have provided is a variety of facts and statistics of pornography that
are gathered from a variety of sources such as the Central Intelligence Agency, The New York Times, PornStudies, and Forbes. One of the most
shocking statistics listed on their website is that over $3,000 is being spent pornographic materials every second. (Pornography Statistics) This means
that every year about ninety–seven billion dollars are spent on pornography every year! Family Safe Media also reports that "US porn revenue

The Pros And Cons Of Internet Addiction

closer to the truth. In today's world, people utilize technology to make things easier, and to better understand the world surrounding the individuals.
What ever happened to the relationship between a single person and their peers when knowledge came to be a defining factor? In this research paper,
it will be discussing what an addiction to this technology does to a person. It will be investigating the differences and comparisons between two
forms of an internet addiction: Cybersex and porn, and a dependency on video games. It will also be considering what these two addictions do and
how they affect the lives of both single people, and parents who have adopted responsibilities within their households by declaring themselves part of a
family unit.
Summary
Internet addiction is a new–age phenomenon that not all people active in the modern world fully understand. To many, it is simply "playing on the
computer too much", however, those same people do not even realize that they are part of the phenomenon. It has been stated by many scientists in
multiple studies that "we, as a generation in the twenty–first century, will have back problems by the time people are in our late years." This is due to
the invention and adaptation of the smart phone. Everyone has a device such as this, and spend most of their day on it in some way or another.

There is very little scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of biological treatments for pornography addiction. Though several related studies
have been conducted, the focus of these studies was not specifically on pornography addiction, but sexual addiction in general. Additionally, they
lacked validity as they were either case studies or small–scale studies, involving less than 30 participants. Conducting a large–scale study may not be

avoiding compulsive Internet use when he participated in a Naltrexone trial. However, his urges returned when he discontinued consuming Naltrexone.
In order to recede them, he had to continue taking the medication. Ryback specifically studied Naltrexone's efficacy in reducing sexual arousal and
hypersexual behaviour in adolescents convicted of offenses including rape, bestiality, and sexual activity with young children. While receiving doses

It is clear that Naltrexone is in no way a cure for pornography addiction. However, for some extreme cases this drug may be necessary to equip

The Pros And Cons Of Pornography
Pornography
In the United States, pornography is considered to be neither legal nor illegal. With the exception of child pornography, there are no laws regarding the
sell, distribution, creation, nor purchase of pornography. Despite studies finding it to be "degrading and detrimental to society", Congress is not able to
regulate pornography. One of the reasons is the current misinterpretation of church and state. Congress is not able to use religious standards of morality
to judge obscenity.
The word for pornography comes from the Greek word "porneia", which means "fornication; illicit sexual behavior" and "graphei" meaning "writing".
Thus, pornography refers to illicit sexual behavior portrayed in the media–e.g., magazines, books, music, films, videos, etc. In Romans 1:29, Paul
condemns the activity of the Gentiles who had rejected God by describing their activity as "being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality
(porneia), wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness". Furthermore, Paul also condemns pornography in principle in Ephesians 5:3–4 and 4:29.
While many will argue that pornography is not harmful and a "victimless crime", are not of the real effects that pornography can have on a family,
or a society as a whole. First of all pornography is detrimental, because it treats humans as objects. Pornography depicts people, especially women,
in demeaning and degrading ways. Even if the only ones involved were adults who freely chose to be involved in the production of pornography and
even if they were compensated well enough to feel good about what they are doing, pornography does not build the integrity of persons who are made
in the image of God. Another effect of pornography is that it is linked to different forms of violence. Pornography can be linked to rape, abuse, murder,
and other felonies. Pornography is also harmful to society in that the outlets for obscene material are often outlets for other material such as
prostitution, pandering, drug dealing etc. Finally, pornography harms the family. Like other sins, pornography is addictive and progressive.

So, when viewing, hearing, or sensing sexual materials, stress occurs and a neuro–chemical response by the right side of the brain takes place. When
sexual stress transpires, it triggers physiological mechanisms. Anxiety mobilizes the body and puts it into top condition to cope. The brain releases
chemicals, which seep into the pituitary gland, releasing a stress hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone. This in turn stimulates: the bronchial
tubes to relax for deeper breathing, the blood sugar to increase for maximum energy, the increase of blood pressure, and the organs of sight, sound,
and sex. Now if pornography was just fantasy, the left side of the brain would be telling the right that there's nothing to get excited about, and none of
the above behavior would occur (Reisman 17–19).
Another point to be made is that when high arousal occurs, our bodies emergency system is triggered. A person's vitals can be differentiated by
observing them look at a Times magazine and then look at a Playboy magazine. If a person's vitals are obviously changed, the person has a normal
sense of arousal; but if the response to both magazines is similar, a level of desensitization has occurred (Reisman 21). The latter response usually
takes place after prolonged exposure to pornography. When the brain adapts to a specific sensation, arousal is dramatically reduced, leaving the user

Moreover, it is proven that repeated exposure to pornography especially deviant forms plays a huge role in shaping a male's fantasies, outlook on life,
and overall beliefs (Lalumiere et al., 2005).
Impact on Marriage and Relationships:
The consumption of pornography can cause instability in a marital relationship and even create a risk of separation. According to the information
presented in the General Social Survey, taken in 2000, people who said they were in a happy marriage were sixty–one percent less likely to watch
pornography in contrast to those who were Internet users and participated in the survey (Stack et al., 2004). Another study conducted by Bridges,
Bergner and Hesson–McInnis, concluded "married women are significantly more distressed by a partner's online pornography consumption than
women in dating relationships, and that Internet pornography consumption is viewed as a threat to the relationship." (Bridges et al., 2003). Furthermore,
another studied looked at the consumption of common nonviolent pornography on males and females (Zillman & Bryant, 1988). After six weeks of
hourly sessions of exposure, participants recorded being less satisfied with their partners especially with their partner's appearance, willingness to
sexually experiment, and sexual performance (Zillman & Bryant, 1988). Moreover, throughout several studies, women expressed feelings of betrayal,

It may taste good but it doesn't meet the true need of the body," says Struthers. He stresses that our "sexual nature is a force that we must harness and

understanding is that he offers not only advice but also hope. He encourages us to go to God. He tells the Christian that the healing requires confession

Pros And Cons Of Pornography Addiction
I had a problem called a porn addiction that had put some obstacles my life. Growing up in the household, I was always told porn was obscene and
sinful, but in school watching it was seen as "natural" human behavior. I started off thinking, like everyone else, that this was natural, but then over
time, regretfully years, I realized there was nothing natural about watching people performing intercourse and relapsing to it. By the time I realized
this, I had already created a habit of doing it multiple times per day to function normally during the day. This is when I researched my problem and
learned that I, in fact, had a pornographic addiction. Up until the point that I realized I had a problem, I never really took into consideration that this
was abnormal, but by looking up my symptoms and identifying as an addict that knew he had a problem, I knew I had to change. Soon I searched

The Pros And Cons Of Pornography Addiction
There are cultural norms which indicate the how, when, what, and why's of responding to any sexual behavior. While some individuals may come
across as being more sexualized than others, their behavior often fits within cultural norms. Issues arise when behaviors become culturally abnormal.
Sex addiction and its subtypes, which would include pornography addiction, have not yet found their way into the DSM; while it was considered for
inclusion in the DSM–5, it was reported that there was not enough evidence that sex addictions fit the characteristics needed for the approval
(Bridges & Morokoff, 2011; Levine, 2010; Weir, 2014). For the purposes of this paper, we will address those whose pornography habits are outside of
the cultural norms, as having a pornography addiction. This would be any type of excessive use, which fits within the definition of a sex addiction.
As a cultural guide, the results from a study conducted by the Kinney Institute in 2002, using the most common answers from the individual
categories, can be used as a guideline of normal cultural pornography use. The Kinney Institute (2002) found that 27% of people viewed pornographic
material several times a week and 37% of people spent 1–5 hours per week viewing porn. It would then be assumed that usage above these numbers
would start to fall within the abnormal ranges. Using these statistics, along with definitions of sexually deviant behavior can help determine what
pornography addiction entails.
Levine (2010) defines an addict and their behaviors when "they are sometimes expensive in economic, psychologic, and social terms. They may
persist despite negative consequences. The patient may not be able to stop the behavior when he or she states that goal." The introduction of the
internet has opened a whole new world to many sex addicts. In the online world, a person can find easy access to pornography including specific
types that are tailored to individual interests (Levine, 2010; Weir, 2014). Studies have shown that pornography is viewed often. Weir (2014) cites
several studies showing that more than 50% of all men and more than 30% of women view it on a regular basis. The debate is whether or not
pornography causes harm to those who view it.

Dangers Of Pornography
Turn It Off: The Dangers of Pornography
People like pornography, regardless of whether or not it is moral. Pornography, more commonly referred to as porn, is the depiction of sexually explicit
material intended to sexually arouse. Pornography is essentially ubiquitous; it is just one Google search away, and much of it is free. The Internet
provides the accessibility, affordability, and anonymity that makespornography a more immediate, vivid, and personal experience. With pornography's
easy accessibility arises questions about the benefits and harms of viewing pornography. Although pornography is legal, it yields detrimental effects on
individual and societal levels because it degrades women, leads to increased violence, such as rape, against women, and...[OTHER REASONS
BACKING UP CLAIM].
Pornography is harmful as it encourages the degradation of women. Pornography objectifies women by portraying the intimate experience of sex as a
voyeuristic act of pleasure instead. In fact, Susan Fiske, professor of psychology at Princeton University, analyzed the brain activity of men watching
pornography. She concluded that after viewing pornography, men saw women more as objects than as human beings (CITATION). In other words,
instead of viewing women as people who deserve respect and worth, pornography encourages the belief that women are objects whose purpose is to
serve the sexual needs of men, which degrades women. This dehumanization is further proven by that fact that one of the

This essay will discuss why pornography is seen in such a black and white manner and also aims to present reasons why it should not be. It will

Another explanation is that they are someone who does not see the worth in paying for pornography when there is plenty to be found for free. The
main reasons for paying for pornography online would be to access something specific or to purposefully support a pornstar or producer. This
poses the question, would more people be prepared to pay if free porn was harder to access? Even so, with the porn industry missing out on paying
consumers due to the availability of free porn online, it has still managed to keep afloat, though how well it has is unknown. The actual size of the
industry is still largely disputed, mainly because statisticians can not agree as to what products should constitute as porn (Slade 1093), though a 1995
Times article "liberally categorised 83.5 percent of all photographs online as pornographic" (Paasonen 166). In many reports written on pornography
there is a different definition of pornography and erotica. Diana Russell sums it up as "feminists of the anti–pornography–equals–censorship school
deliberately obfuscate any distinction between erotica and pornography, using the term erotica for all sexually explicit materials. In contrast,
anti–pornography feminists consider it vitally important to distinguish between pornography and erotica" (2). She then goes on to give her definitions
of pornography, which includes "abuse or degradation that appears to endorse, condone, or encourage such behaviour" and erotica,

Pornographic Pornography : An Human Brain For Today 's...
Evolution has not prepared the human brain for today's Internet porn. Erotic depictions of human sexuality have existed for as long as humanity.
Archaeological evidence of pornographic concepts in ancient civilizations exists in the form of rock art and venus figurines. Throughout the centuries,
erotic literature would ultimately evolve into various magazines featuring nude photography and pictures of other sexual acts. The printing press would
dominate as the main medium for porn consumption for nearly half a millennia until the 20th century, when video pornography was first produced.
Nearly overnight, a seemingly infinite number of porn studios were conceived exploding video pornography into a multi–billion dollar industry
generating more revenue than the music and film industries combined. The adult film industry of this era (20th century), while lucrative, was not quite
the universal phenomenon that it is today. Prior to the expansion into the Internet, lack of discretion and difficulty of access prevented the market from
reaching its full potential. Porn's audience grew exponentially with the introduction of the Internet, shifting its status from underworld to mainstream.
There was a time when the only way to view a porn movie was to trade your money and dignity at the video store in public view. But this idea of porn
consumption being limited to shameless, desperate basement dwellers is now a relic of the past, as the Internet's infinite supply of an endless

Secrets Desires
Our society has socially excepted explicit language as well as sexual undertones as a way of introducing sex and pornography to our young people
and mature adults alike.There are hidden secret sexual desires simply because we are taught that if our sexual thoughts or desires are different from
others we are strange. Women were taught that they are damaged if they are to engage in watchingpornography or engage in altered sexual desires that
are outside of the vanilla spectrum. According to Concepcion, C. M. (1999) " To deny any women any form of sexual expression, including the
enjoyment and production of pornography can stunt sexual development and thereby, stunt the development of our sexuality, forces women to question
our intuition and police our desires".
Men and Women are being sexually inhabitied by the expression of engaging in sexual content such as pornography by not being able to explore their
needs under those circumstances they aren't able to explore their needs, desires, and sexual needs. The issue might form when women began to think
of sexual freedom as a choice to please partners just to grab satisfaction of something missing from their lives, allowing them to long for a touch within
a conscious and unconscious state of mind. Some would argue that the behavior would be the result of a missing father or a mother who didn't respond

explicit materials. Pornography begins to affect an individual's mindset as soon as they watch their first explicit scene. Science confirmed the brain is
endlessly creating new nerve pathways (Shucart). This is important because as people continue to view porn, they are allowing their brain to create

As a result of the strong links and addictive elements of pornography, viewers might abandon important relationships. Many viewers have the
conceived notion that porn is an easy and fast way to release an urge or fulfill a fantasy. Many fail to recognize pornography plays a huge role in
damaging relationships.Viewers tend to turn towards porn to satisfy certain needs, and in doing so they neglect their significant other by
"withdrawing emotionally from the relationship" (Aneloski). The rewiring of the brain can cause an individual to become more aroused by an
explicit video than an actual real life partner. Without a healthy sexual connection, relationships suffer because sex is natural in any relationship
(Weisman). Another example of porn damaging a relationship is the way porn portrays a connection between two people. Pornographic films consist
of men and women living for a single purpose, and that is to only give and receive sexual pleasure. Whether consumers believe it or not, the idea of
humans being nothing more than sexual objects is slowly creeping into their mind. This idea of being sexual objects hinder the development of real
relationships (Aneloski). Real relationships are capable of providing love and intimacy that porn can not recreate. Another common criticism about
viewing pornographic content is that excessive exposure can increase sexual aggression amongst viewers.

Pornography Is The Problem Of Pornography
Pornography is essentially the "crack cocaine" of the internet. Specifically, society should bring awareness to the various mental disorders pornography
can create. One major mental issue that can be derived from porn is the simply addiction one has towards the adult film industry. Such easy access to
pornography makes weaning off of porn very difficult if one is addicted, as it is available at every turn thanks to smartphones. From your smartphone,
magazines, and even social media, the addiction is hard to escape pornography's grasp. Nearly 80 percent of unwanted exposure to pornography takes
place at home – 79% occurs in the home; 9 percent occurs at school; 7 percent other/unknown; 5 percent at a friend's home (Turvey). Therefore, even
when in the safety of their own home society can't protect itself from unwanted pornography reaching phones or computer monitors. Despite the fact
that pornography is viewed almost as taboo to discuss in American culture, pornography is still very prevalent. While 42.7% of internet users viewing
porn globally, roughly the equivalent of three million people worldwide, pornography is dominating the internet bandwidth (Turvey). According to Dr.
Alvin Cooper, former clinical director of the San Jose Marital and Sexuality Center, spending 11 or more hours a week looking at pornography is

Pornography : A Moral Problem
Intro "Flee from sexual immorality; every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body

has become a moral problem affecting humanity all around the world because it's something that is everywhere. Pornography has become available on
the Internet reaching 4.2 million websites and 420 million pages. Imagine 12% of the website are pornography and about 47% are viewers.
Today, people live in a world where everything is freedom of speech and have all kinds of rights; but when does it become enough? The Bible
teaches people that God made our bodies as Holy temple, and that thought is subject to the scrutiny of God. In Romans 12:2 states that "And do not
conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and
acceptable and perfect". Christian's worldview rejects all kinds of sexual sin. This paper will examine the dilemma about pornography, according to
how it plays on people's life, on how Christianity would be perceived it affecting society, and the perseverance of comparisons to other religions.

Psychological Effects Of Pornography
Virtual pornography is a menacing fixation. Specifically, the high levels of dopamine released whilst viewing porn establishes a negative compulsive
desire for more in the future. This repetitive impulse may lead to a detrimental effect known as erectile dysfunction. Additionally, this uncontrollable
addiction may affect real–life relationships and intimacy by compelling them to be regarded as tedious. Viewing myriad quantities of pornographic
material is a menacing obsession and addiction that critically alters actuality's passionate connections, may more than likely result in erectile dysfunction
, and detrimentally develops an abundant amount of dopamine that reconstructs watchers' brains.
The chemical dopamine is released whenever an individual views porn which provides a sense of accomplishment that can lead to an unhealthy
obsession for more in the near future creating an addiction. As stated in the internet website covenanteyes.com, "When watching porn dopamine is
released into a region of the brain responsible for emotion and learning, giving the viewer a sense of sharp focus and a sense of craving: "I have got
to have this thing; this is what I need right now." It supplies a great sense of pleasure. The next time the viewer gets the "itch" for more sexual

Effects Of Modern Technology On Society
How does Modern Technology affect the way we think/act? Within this essay I plan to discuss and debate my and other's opinions on the matter of
technology and not only how it effects the way we think/act, but whether those effects are positive or negatively impactful. Of course, modern
technology has only developed within the last 30 years; with the information age of technology arriving in the 1980's. So, it hasn't at all been prevalent
in our society for very long at all; not by comparison to other innovative movements such as industrialism. Despite this, I believe modern technology has
dramatically affected our thoughts and behaviours as human beings. Gaming is a revolutionary, and large part of modern technology; one that has
indisputably changed people, especially in regard to socialisation and problem solving. The common first thought towards gaming is that it has turned
many into jobless, socially unequipped recluses. Or even perhaps a violent, and un–empathic person. This of course is a stereotypical architype; though
all clichГ©s do have some root of truth. It has been made apparent that men who engage in violent first–person shooter style games are far more likely
to feel a lack of empathy towards women, according to an American study. Grand theft Auto, a game in which women are made to be viewed as

The Consequences Of Teenage Pornography Addiction In Teens
Pornography Addiction In Teens
While it may be perfectly normal and healthy for teenagers to develop curiosity in their sexuality, changing times have brought with them alarming
statistics addressing teens hooked on pornography. Thanks (or no thanks) to the internet and cable television, there is a huge collection of pornographic
images available for unrestricted viewing by adults as well as teenagers.
In the past, young people could not easily access pornographic materials unless they went an extra mile to scavenge from trash or access hidden adult
collections. Today, they don't have to expend any effort searching–it is all overly accessible. Even children armed with only rudimentary computer
skills can unlock the floodgates to a barrage of X–rated images. It takes only a couple of mouse clicks to gain access.
Most unfortunately teens are inundated with a barrage of sexual stimuli before their capacity to integrate such materials into their sexual identity is
fully developed. Thinking about it, much of the teen pornography issues reflect the broader social reality and the fact that pornography has officially
gone mainstream.
Teenagers, being in their formative stages, are quite unsure about their sexual identity and to them pornography is not much different than a trip to the
candy shop. They revel in the newfound euphoric feelings while at the same time secretly connecting with other folks with whom they share similar
sexual tastes.

Gender Differences And Pornography Addiction Introduction As pornography becomes more prevalent in society, it is important to understand what impact pornography has on individuals and relationships. We are specifically interested in pornography addiction and how an addiction affects marital satisfaction. Pornography addiction is often thought of as a male's problem, so we also want to look at gender differences and pornography addiction. We would like to see if pornography addiction affects the relationship differently depending on what gender the user is.

With a longitudinal design we are able to observe how marital satisfaction changes over time. Introduction and Research Questions Numerous studies have been conducted on the topic of pornography. These studies have provided us with many answers, but there are still unanswered questions. The purpose of this current study is to add to current research on pornography and marriage.

  • 2. Alexy Burgess And Prentky: Article Analysis Alexy, Burgess, and Prentky investigate a potential association between sexually aggressive behavior in minors and their exposure to and use of pornographic material. The authors use other extensive research, from other expert psychologists in the field of sexual behavior, as the foundation that inspired the study they are presenting. The authors demonstrate how older subjects involved in pedophilia, rape, and harassment, among other sexual aggressive behaviors, have had a strong connection with pornography early in their youth. Alexy, Burgess, and Prentky use this staggering information to support their position that pornography is a risk marker to sexual aggression, in children and adolescents in their current state and in the long term. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The responsibility to educate adolescents, as they become aware of their sexuality, is shared between parents and school teachers. The authors, however, reveal that most parents neglect or relinquish this central and innate responsibility, to educate, to school teachers. JankoviД‡, MalatestiniД‡, and Striehl affirm with certainty that if the parents neglect to educate their children, then the media, with its vast stimulation of the senses and societal popularity–standard shifting powers, and their peers will do it for them. The study focuses on the parents' opinion and disposition to educate their children about sexual health but not on what actions, parents must implement in order to achieve a successful instruction. The study also lacks concrete evidence on the adolescents' attitudes and subjectivity towards the sexual revolution and the unpopular view of parents as mentors in the sexual ...

  • 3. Pornography And Its Effects On Society Pornography and Its Effects What is pornography? Porn or porno is any visual, audial or printed material, created with the sole purpose of bringing arousal or sexual excitement to audiences. Internet driven pornography is most common form of porn, as it provides free unregulated and unrestricted access to different forms of pornographic materials. It makes porn readily available for viewing at any place, ranging from homes to offices, and at any time. The regular consumption of porn by a male has negative effects on the choices he makes and alters his behavior and psyche in the process. Pornography demeans and objectifies women, and as a result degrades the perception most male porn consumers have about women. Prolonged consumption of pornography by men produces stronger notions of women as commodities or as 'sex objects'. "The diffusion of such a distorted view of women's nature in our society as it exists supports sexist (i.e., male–centered) attitudes and thus reinforces the oppression and exploitation of women" (Longino 48). Many males believe that females should be submissive to them. Porno reinforces these preexisting inclinations and perceptions males already have about women, increasing the likelihood of males sexually harassing females. Aggressive and violent behaviors and sexually hostility to women are not only tolerated but encouraged in porn. Thus, excessive viewing of porn alters many males perception about women, and increases the likelihood of aggression, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. The Consumption Of Internet Pornography And Sexual Addictions Prior to the death of Mr. Collins father, his consumption of Internet pornography and sexual chatting was not considered remarkable. He appeared to be able to function sexually while masturbating and during sexual intercourse with the partners in his life prior to this life–altering event. Mr. Collins expressed a relatively normal desire for sexual contact as a teenager as well as desire to couple with partners his age in traditional ways, but after the death of his father, what normally produced the arousal necessary to ejaculate while masturbating and having sexual intercourse, no longer appears to have had the desired effect. It is at this time that it appears that the symptoms of depression began to manifest in Mr. Collins life, depressed mood, decreased interest or pleasure, change in sleep, change in activity, and concentration. As these symptoms manifested, it appears that the indicators of Hypersexual Disorder began to develop; excessive masturbation, obsessing about sex to the point that it interfered with his life, spending significant time planning their sexual activity, frequent viewing of pornography or use of sexually explicit websites or other online services including adult chat rooms, frequent one–night stands with strangers, staying emotionally detached from sexual partners, frequently engaging in paraphilias, and inability to stop despite the consequences.

Surveys in the U.S. have found that the people who have the best sex and the most thrilling sex are those in long term happy relationships.(Dr Sue...) When having sex in a committed long term relationship one's body chemically allows the pleasure to continue and deeply bonds them with their partner; contrarily, when engaging in porn, one's body chemically causes pleasure to diminish with each encounter as the viewer is not bonding emotionally with another person. Porn allows the viewer to have temporary desires fulfilled with decreasing pleasure and lack of any deep, personal relationships.

  • 6. Is Addiction to Pornography a Brain Disease? Is Addiction, Brain Disease? Pornography addiction and sex addiction are very alike sicknesses, arguably a sex addiction is not a disease or sickness however, and I feel as if it is. Walking around a sex addict you would probably never know about their disorder unless told otherwise. Many debates are about whether or not sexual addiction is an actual brain disease but just like drug addiction and alcohol addiction I classify it as the same. In a study taken in 2013 The Discovery Channel found that neurological scientists hooked up people with a so called sex addiction and compared there brain activity to those that have a drug or alcohol addiction finding that the activities did not match and that sex addicts were not classified as actually having a brain disease. I still believe sexual addiction is a neurological disorder however studies show that it is not, I am here to prove it is indeed. The fMRI is a scientific tool used to record brain functions this machine has also helped teach scientist more about the addiction disease characteristics of the brain "The fMRI had been discovered in the early 1990s but it only became increasingly popular by being used in addiction studies almost ten years later.

  • 10. The Effects Of Pornography On Society, An Up And Coming... Holle Dietzman Ms. Maggert Honours English III 09 December 2016 The Effects of Pornography There is a new threat to society, an up and coming monster slowly awakening from its deep slumber. Pornography is this monster and it is a problem. Pornography has been around since the mid–1600's, during the 1970's the industry was revolutionized by the beginning of the internet and the changes in social mores, allowing them to create more uncommon and risque media. Since that time though it has only grown into a bigger problem for many people, which can become an addiction. Pornography is a growing addiction and it can cause the user lots of harm because, it changes the way the userЕ› brain works, cause you to become violent, and can change the way you look at and love others. When someone uses pornography it rewires the brain and changes how it works on a day–to–day basis. Dopamine is a chemical in your body that causes you to be happy and want to do things. Just like with other addictive substances when pornography is used it causes a flow of dopamine to rush into the brain. With a constant rush of dopamine the brain's reward pathway is rewired, which changes the makeup of the viewer 's brain. In the article How Porn Changes the Brain on from www.fightthenewdrug.org they say your brain has pathways for all kinds of things like riding a bike, eating a sandwich, but when pornography is viewed the brain creates a new pathway for that.

"Prostitution is not the world's oldest profession, as is commonly said, although it is probably one of the world's oldest forms of men's violence against women and girls. It seems old because men's sexual exploitation of women and children is ancient and defended as a part of men's natures that they have to have sex, even if it is purchased, forced or with a child" (Hughes). In the recent years, Human Trafficking is on the forefront of society with startling statistics like, "Every 30 seconds someone becomes a victim of Human Trafficking" According to the A21 Campaign.

  • 13. The Negative Effects Of Pornography And The Entertainment... The entertainment industry within the United States is one of the most important businesses in the nation. Many Americans spend their weekends watching movies on weekends. Meanwhile others stay at home binge–watching their favorite shows on Netflix or Hulu. One of the most controversial forms of entertainment, however, is known as adult films otherwise known as pornography. Pornography is a very controversial form of entertainment because of how it negatively affects society today. In order to understand the negative effects of pornography, the term itself must be properly defined. Britanica.com, one of the world's oldest and highest rated encyclopedias, states that the word "pornography" can be derived from the Greek word porni graphein which means "any work of art or literature depicting the life of prostitutes." (Jenkins, 2017) The modern–day English word, according to America's number one dictionary Meriam–Webster, means "material (such as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement." These definitions combined define pornography as any form of media that entertains its viewer with sexually arousing content. With the term properly defined, the scope of the adult film industry must be fully realized in order to understand how large of an influence it has society. The website Family Safe Media states on its website that, "Since 1998, Family Safe Media has been dedicated to providing the latest products and services that can help parents control the media in their homes." One of the services that they have provided is a variety of facts and statistics of pornography that are gathered from a variety of sources such as the Central Intelligence Agency, The New York Times, PornStudies, and Forbes. One of the most shocking statistics listed on their website is that over $3,000 is being spent pornographic materials every second. (Pornography Statistics) This means that every year about ninety–seven billion dollars are spent on pornography every year! Family Safe Media also reports that "US porn revenue exceeds the combined revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC." Over 28,000 are viewing the same pornographic materials every second.

  • 14. The Pros And Cons Of Internet Addiction Within our modern world, the notion that human beings are distancing themselves farther and farther from inter–personal communication cannot be closer to the truth. In today's world, people utilize technology to make things easier, and to better understand the world surrounding the individuals. What ever happened to the relationship between a single person and their peers when knowledge came to be a defining factor? In this research paper, it will be discussing what an addiction to this technology does to a person. It will be investigating the differences and comparisons between two forms of an internet addiction: Cybersex and porn, and a dependency on video games. It will also be considering what these two addictions do and how they affect the lives of both single people, and parents who have adopted responsibilities within their households by declaring themselves part of a family unit. Summary Internet addiction is a new–age phenomenon that not all people active in the modern world fully understand. To many, it is simply "playing on the computer too much", however, those same people do not even realize that they are part of the phenomenon.

Essay Biological Treatment There is very little scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of biological treatments for pornography addiction. Though several related studies have been conducted, the focus of these studies was not specifically on pornography addiction, but sexual addiction in general. Additionally, they lacked validity as they were either case studies or small–scale studies, involving less than 30 participants.

  • 16. The Pros And Cons Of Pornography Pornography In the United States, pornography is considered to be neither legal nor illegal. With the exception of child pornography, there are no laws regarding the sell, distribution, creation, nor purchase of pornography. Despite studies finding it to be "degrading and detrimental to society", Congress is not able to regulate pornography. One of the reasons is the current misinterpretation of church and state. Congress is not able to use religious standards of morality to judge obscenity. The word for pornography comes from the Greek word "porneia", which means "fornication; illicit sexual behavior" and "graphei" meaning "writing". Thus, pornography refers to illicit sexual behavior portrayed in the media–e.g., magazines, books, music, films, videos, etc. In Romans 1:29, Paul condemns the activity of the Gentiles who had rejected God by describing their activity as "being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality (porneia), wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness". Furthermore, Paul also condemns pornography in principle in Ephesians 5:3–4 and 4:29. While many will argue that pornography is not harmful and a "victimless crime", are not of the real effects that pornography can have on a family, or a society as a whole. First of all pornography is detrimental, because it treats humans as objects. Pornography depicts people, especially women, in demeaning and degrading ways. Even if the only ones involved were adults who freely chose to be involved in the production of pornography and even if they were compensated well enough to feel good about what they are doing, pornography does not build the integrity of persons who are made in the image of God. Another effect of pornography is that it is linked to different forms of violence. Pornography can be linked to rape, abuse, murder, and other felonies. Pornography is also harmful to society in that the outlets for obscene material are often outlets for other material such as prostitution, pandering, drug dealing etc. Finally, pornography harms the family. Like other sins, pornography is addictive and progressive. Jesus was very clear about even looking at something that causes a person to sin in their hearts.

So, when viewing, hearing, or sensing sexual materials, stress occurs and a neuro–chemical response by the right side of the brain takes place. When sexual stress transpires, it triggers physiological mechanisms. Anxiety mobilizes the body and puts it into top condition to cope. The brain releases chemicals, which seep into the pituitary gland, releasing a stress hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone. This in turn stimulates: the bronchial tubes to relax for deeper breathing, the blood sugar to increase for maximum energy, the increase of blood pressure, and the organs of sight, sound, and sex. Now if pornography was just fantasy, the left side of the brain would be telling the right that there's nothing to get excited about, and none of the above behavior would occur (Reisman 17–19). Another point to be made is that when high arousal occurs, our bodies emergency system is triggered. A person's vitals can be differentiated by observing them look at a Times magazine and then look at a Playboy magazine. If a person's vitals are obviously changed, the person has a normal sense of arousal; but if the response to both magazines is similar, a level of desensitization has occurred (Reisman 21). The latter response usually takes place after prolonged exposure to pornography.

According to the information presented in the General Social Survey, taken in 2000, people who said they were in a happy marriage were sixty–one percent less likely to watch pornography in contrast to those who were Internet users and participated in the survey (Stack et al., 2004). Another study conducted by Bridges, Bergner and Hesson–McInnis, concluded "married women are significantly more distressed by a partner's online pornography consumption than women in dating relationships, and that Internet pornography consumption is viewed as a threat to the relationship."

He tells the Christian that the healing requires confession and the awareness that we are of sinful nature and need God. That we actually need help is vital to the process of getting better.

  • 21. Pros And Cons Of Pornography Addiction I had a problem called a porn addiction that had put some obstacles my life. Growing up in the household, I was always told porn was obscene and sinful, but in school watching it was seen as "natural" human behavior. I started off thinking, like everyone else, that this was natural, but then over time, regretfully years, I realized there was nothing natural about watching people performing intercourse and relapsing to it. By the time I realized this, I had already created a habit of doing it multiple times per day to function normally during the day. This is when I researched my problem and learned that I, in fact, had a pornographic addiction. Up until the point that I realized I had a problem, I never really took into consideration that this was abnormal, but by looking up my symptoms and identifying as an addict that knew he had a problem, I knew I had to change. Soon I searched for free or accessible ways of finding help because for obvious reasons I did not want my parents to find out. I was too ashamed and embarrassed as to how they would see me if I were to come out about this, so I really wanted to go about looking for help on my own. I later stumbled upon a community on Reddit known as NoFap. NoFap is a community of extensive pornographic users seeking help and motivation among each other to abstain from this nasty habit for good. I was so inspired by seeing people's results, stories and methods of beating this problem, so I thought this would not be much of a challenge. I was so unbelievably wrong. The first day I tried to stop, I could not stop thinking of it and gave in to the temptation. I tried dismissing it with "I'll do better next time", but I did not. I did it again the day after, the day after that, after that and so forth. This "I'll do it better next time" and succumb to my own desires attitude continued for months. I was in a limbo, constantly assuring myself that I'd do better, but I was never putting in the work for it. I would expect improvement to show when I never put up any effort to resist this urge in the first place. It was not that I was playing around, so why did I continue doing it?

  • 22. The Pros And Cons Of Pornography Addiction There are cultural norms which indicate the how, when, what, and why's of responding to any sexual behavior. While some individuals may come across as being more sexualized than others, their behavior often fits within cultural norms. Issues arise when behaviors become culturally abnormal. Sex addiction and its subtypes, which would include pornography addiction, have not yet found their way into the DSM; while it was considered for inclusion in the DSM–5, it was reported that there was not enough evidence that sex addictions fit the characteristics needed for the approval (Bridges & Morokoff, 2011; Levine, 2010; Weir, 2014). For the purposes of this paper, we will address those whose pornography habits are outside of the cultural norms, as having a pornography addiction. This would be any type of excessive use, which fits within the definition of a sex addiction. As a cultural guide, the results from a study conducted by the Kinney Institute in 2002, using the most common answers from the individual categories, can be used as a guideline of normal cultural pornography use. The Kinney Institute (2002) found that 27% of people viewed pornographic material several times a week and 37% of people spent 1–5 hours per week viewing porn. It would then be assumed that usage above these numbers would start to fall within the abnormal ranges. Using these statistics, along with definitions of sexually deviant behavior can help determine what pornography addiction entails. Levine (2010) defines an addict and their behaviors when "they are sometimes expensive in economic, psychologic, and social terms. They may persist despite negative consequences. The patient may not be able to stop the behavior when he or she states that goal." The introduction of the internet has opened a whole new world to many sex addicts. In the online world, a person can find easy access to pornography including specific types that are tailored to individual interests (Levine, 2010; Weir, 2014). Studies have shown that pornography is viewed often. Weir (2014) cites several studies showing that more than 50% of all men and more than 30% of women view it on a regular basis.

The Internet provides the accessibility, affordability, and anonymity that makespornography a more immediate, vivid, and personal experience.

She concluded that after viewing pornography, men saw women more as objects than as human beings (CITATION).

Even so, with the porn industry missing out on paying consumers due to the availability of free porn online, it has still managed to keep afloat, though how well it has is unknown. The actual size of the industry is still largely disputed, mainly because statisticians can not agree as to what products should constitute as porn (Slade 1093), though a 1995 Times article "liberally categorised 83.5 percent of all photographs online as pornographic" (Paasonen 166). In many reports written on pornography there is a different definition of pornography and erotica. Diana Russell sums it up as "feminists of the anti–pornography–equals–censorship school deliberately obfuscate any distinction between erotica and pornography, using the term erotica for all sexually explicit materials.

Throughout the centuries, erotic literature would ultimately evolve into various magazines featuring nude photography and pictures of other sexual acts.

  • 38. Reflective Essay On God I've always known about God, growing up in a christian home God was at the center of our family. I went to church every Sunday, read my bible every day, but I always had my doubts I would always say to myself, I believe in God but I don't really need him. I thought to myself I can decide whats right and wrong, why do I need God to do that for me, I know what's best. But I would soon come to realize just how wrong I was and just how much I needed God. And so the story begins, as I grew older I struggled with my faith in God. During my high school years I started experimenting with different types of drugs as well as partying and drinking every chance I got thinking it'd make me cool, never really caring about how it was affecting my life. I would smoke weed everyday with my friends skipping class not doing homework because I was too high to even function, this caused my grades to fall from 3.5 GPA to a 2.0 GPA but I didn't care, I thought I was cool. Drinking effected my mood,I didn't care about how I treated other people or the way they felt, It was all about me and what I wanted, I could feel myself changing into someone I didn't like but I didn't know what to do. I noticed a lot of issues with my angry, I would be angry all the time, my mom would ask me to do a simple task like taking out the trash or making my bed, but I would talk back and disrespect her. Me and my mom would argue constantly, I would fight with my mom almost every day, swearing at her till the point ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 39. Effects Of Modern Technology On Society How does Modern Technology affect the way we think/act? Within this essay I plan to discuss and debate my and other's opinions on the matter of technology and not only how it effects the way we think/act, but whether those effects are positive or negatively impactful. Of course, modern technology has only developed within the last 30 years; with the information age of technology arriving in the 1980's. So, it hasn't at all been prevalent in our society for very long at all; not by comparison to other innovative movements such as industrialism. Despite this, I believe modern technology has dramatically affected our thoughts and behaviours as human beings. Gaming is a revolutionary, and large part of modern technology; one that has indisputably changed people, especially in regard to socialisation and problem solving. The common first thought towards gaming is that it has turned many into jobless, socially unequipped recluses. Or even perhaps a violent, and un–empathic person. This of course is a stereotypical architype; though all clichГ©s do have some root of truth. It has been made apparent that men who engage in violent first–person shooter style games are far more likely to feel a lack of empathy towards women, according to an American study. Grand theft Auto, a game in which women are made to be viewed as sexual objects was used in a study containing a large group of teenage boys. This reported significantly lower levels of empathy and sympathy towards an image of a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 40. The Consequences Of Teenage Pornography Addiction In Teens Pornography Addiction In Teens While it may be perfectly normal and healthy for teenagers to develop curiosity in their sexuality, changing times have brought with them alarming statistics addressing teens hooked on pornography. Thanks (or no thanks) to the internet and cable television, there is a huge collection of pornographic images available for unrestricted viewing by adults as well as teenagers. In the past, young people could not easily access pornographic materials unless they went an extra mile to scavenge from trash or access hidden adult collections. Today, they don't have to expend any effort searching–it is all overly accessible. Even children armed with only rudimentary computer skills can unlock the floodgates to a barrage of X–rated images. It takes only a couple of mouse clicks to gain access. Most unfortunately teens are inundated with a barrage of sexual stimuli before their capacity to integrate such materials into their sexual identity is fully developed. Thinking about it, much of the teen pornography issues reflect the broader social reality and the fact that pornography has officially gone mainstream. Teenagers, being in their formative stages, are quite unsure about their sexual identity and to them pornography is not much different than a trip to the candy shop. They revel in the newfound euphoric feelings while at the same time secretly connecting with other folks with whom they share similar sexual tastes. Studies done on this area have ...
