How is Pornograpy Addictive?
We hear all the time that pornography is addictive, but we rarely hear about the effects it has on your brain. I found an interesting infographic on how pornography affects the chemical processes in your brain. I knew that pornography was addictive, but I failed to realize that the brain responds to pornography the same way the brain responds to drugs. No wonder it is a difficult habit to shake; it tricks the brain into thinking that it needs pornography to function.
It is also sad to see all the negative effects of pornography on a person's relationships, sense of identity, personal beliefs, and success in the school and workplace. I believe that pornography is the most dangerous media in terms of the psychological damage that it can inflict upon its viewers. It is so sad how accesible it is in today's society. With just a click of a button, anyone could encounter it. This article in particular strengthens my resolve to always keep filters on all my devices and keep computers in a public place in my future home. People need to be aware of its destructive tactics.
Take a look at the article! It's pretty interesting.

Thanks for sharing, Brianna. Pornogrpahy truly is like a harmful, degrading drug. Because it is easily accessible, we have to be wise in how we use technology and teach our families. I agree with you, pornography is the most dangerous media.
ReplyDeletePornography addictions in my future family is one of my greatest fears. It is a deep fear I have for my future children too. I have seen it ruin lives and marriages and it is so sad how common it is today. I also think that pornography is the most dangerous media. It really is a plague.

ReplyDeleteGreat post. It is a scary world we live in. This post made me think of a video I recently watched about a man who overcame the temptation to view pornography through getting involved in indexing and family history work. Its amazing how the atonement truly "changes" us, our brains, our desires.
