DISCOVER THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF PORNOGRAPHY

Also available in Spanish.

Decades of studies from respected institutions have demonstrated significant impacts of porn consumption on individuals, relationships, and society.

Connecting The Dots

Given the ever-growing body of research, it can no longer be denied that repeated porn exposure has a tangible effect on consumers, and is connected to declining relationship satisfaction as well as various forms of exploitation. This isn’t a moral argument, it’s simply something to consider given the facts.

Pornography consumption does not just develop habits, or even addictions. It changes people.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Pornography is more widely accepted, accessible, affordable, and anonymous than ever before. For years, porn has often been thought of as an isolated issue—something that can be easily compartmentalized in the lives of consumers, unrelated to anything else that’s going on. Thanks to decades of research from major institutions, the world is beginning to see just how inaccurate that line of thinking is.

Pornography really is prostitution on screen… The traffickers are the same, the pimps are the same. They just have a camera in the room.
