1. Pornography NEVER only affects the viewer alone: Porn, in its production, harms in many ways those who are depicted. Abuse, manipulation & deception are often used to get victims to pose. There is also a violent underground sex trade that is fed by the demand for pornography.
2. Pornography releases the same powerful chemicals in the brain as do many dangerous drugs. It’s been referred to as an erototoxin. It mimics normal & healthy sexual process, but produes quite a different result that does intercourse between husband & wife – it binds the viewer to its degrading images rather that to a real human.
