Should I be concerned if my teenaged son looks at pornography? After all, its just a natural curiosity, isn it?
The booklet Moms, Their Children, & Pornography Addiction addresses this issue. You absolutely should be concerned. Pornography distorts men’s perception of what is acceptable and honorable sexual behavior. For example, pornography portrays the image that women enjoy any form of sexual acting out, when in fact the woman in the image being viewed is actually allowing herself to be abused. The expression of pleasure that we think we see is often just the facial expression of an actor. It is the expression on the face of a person (male or female) who has become a prostitute – a person who will be raped possibly millions of times in the warped minds of the men and women who view the final pornographic product. Try this scenario. You notice a group of boys ogling over a piece of pornographic material and look to see what it is that has them so entranced. You see that it is your daughter or son who is exposed in the picture.
