Pornography is a scourge on our society, and it’s destroying marriages, families, and lives.
The question of whether pornography is a good thing or a bad thing has been debated for generations. Some people believe that pornography is a healthy outlet for sexuality, while others believe it leads to mental health issues and sexual violence. We believe the latter.
Pornography is harmful in many ways. It can cause addiction, promote violence against women, and encourage objectification of women’s bodies. Pornography also has a negative impact on relationships between men and women.
People who watch pornography frequently can become addicted to it because it causes changes in their brain chemistry. When someone watches pornography regularly, their brain starts to release dopamine into their reward system. Dopamine is a chemical that causes feelings of pleasure when released into the brain; however, over time these feelings become less rewarding and more addictive.
This means that people will need to watch more pornography in order to get the same amount of pleasure they used to receive from watching less—which can lead them down a path where they are spending more time with porn than with real-life relationships or activities that bring them joy (or other sources of dopamine).
Pornography is terrible, and here’s why:
1. Pornography can become an obsession.
2. Pornography is very addicting and can ruin every aspect of your life.
3. Pornography can desensitize viewers to violence against women and children, which can lead to real-world sexual assault and rape of women and children, particularly by those who had a history of exposure to pornography in their adolescence or childhood (Bridges & Morokoff 2008).
Pornography can make you feel like you’re not good enough. It can make you feel like there’s something wrong with you if you don’t want to look at porn. It can make you feel like your life isn’t worth living unless you look at porn. And the worst part? It’s addictive! Once you start watching it, it takes over your brain and makes it hard for you to think about anything else.
Pornography is bad for your health:
It can cause a number of problems, including but not limited to:
– Low self-esteem
– Mental disorders
– Distorted views of sex and relationships
– Addiction
– Depression

So why should people stop using pornography? Because it’s bad for your health! And because it’s bad for other people’s health—we’re talking about your family members here! While many people think that watching porn is harmless because they don’t see anyone hurt in the videos they watch online (or even in movies), this is a very dangerous assumption because people are actually hurting each other while watching these videos—
