PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION

At this very moment, millions of people are suffering from pornography addiction. Because of the easily accessible flood of pornography on the World Wide Web, thousands of youngsters and adults are starting to become addicted – or are worsening in their addicted state – every single day, not only in the United States , but also in every country in the world. Pornography uses the inherent beauty and attractiveness of the human body to lure its viewers into all kinds of destructive thought patterns and behaviors.

While those who look at pornography waste billions of dollars' worth of time and money on this sleazy, unproductive activity, those who print it and host pornographic Web sites reap more money every year than all the major U.S. television networks combined. The number of people addicted to Internet pornography is snowballing. Just one viewing is often enough to enslave a person in addiction, and an alarming percentage of convicted murderers and other criminals confess that becoming addicted to pornography was an early step on their path to criminality.

Porn addiction has killed thousands of relationships, polluted millions of minds and spoiled countless dreams. Even after overcoming an addiction to porn, a person must continue to live with salacious pornographic images in the mind for the rest of his or her life. This sad and vicious habit is frequently portrayed as harmless or even desirable in modern media, which only makes the problem worse. A pornography addict's sense of reality and beauty becomes corrupted, and his or her ability to think wholesome and uplifting thoughts – and to contribute meaningfully to society – is severely damaged.

What can be done about porn addiction? The good news is that, like any other addiction, pornography can be overcome. Often, a professional's help may be required to help an addict become porn-free, but all who have overcome a porn addiction would likely agree that it has been one of the most liberating decisions they have ever made.
