Explanation:
Porn is alluring. We understand that. But why? Why is it so destructive, especially to teens?.
Over and over, boys and girls fall prey to the immediate gratification of sexual fantasies and pornography. I can’t tell you the number of times both boys and girls have said they see kids at school viewing pornography.
I remember typing a research paper in the college library and noticed the guys next to me laughing. I looked over surprised to see an extremely attractive naked woman on the screen. Immediately, it was as if an adrenaline bomb exploded in my head. My hands began to shake. I wanted to see more, but at the same time I didn’t want to see more. In a matter of seconds, I went from focusing on a research paper to managing an internal war.
I hadn’t gone to the library seeking pornography. And unfortunately, that’s the case with many first time porn users.
Several teen girls I’ve counseled were initially accidentally exposed to a naked male body through either sexting, sexual education class, a fantasy novel (word pictures) or sexual chats with boys and girls. Often this initial exposure leads to a desire for more, including sexual fantasies of all kinds. It becomes an internal battle between rational thinking and reward seeking.
And we’re not just talking teens. Our sexual culture has effects even on young kids. Several years ago I worked with group of fifth grade boys with behavior issues. They had been hugging the young female teachers. To the teachers, it was “cute.” To the boys, it was known as the “boob club.”
In that school, which I believe is representative of many schools; girls were sending messages that masculinity equals sexuality. They insinuated boys needed to be attractive sexually and able to perform. Both girls and boys talked pervasively about oral sex.
Where did they get all this information? Why weren’t they thinking about sports and music and grades?
Here’s the problem. Exposure to a sexual culture causes boys and girls to become consumers of people. It puts them on a path toward distorted love and disrespect of others. Pornography, sexual fantasies and sexual talk becomes the norm.
The brain helps us make sense of what we take in through our five senses. It responds to what we see, read or hear. When what the brain takes in is artificial, the idea of sex becomes about consumption rather than connection.
