Pornography: The Harm of Pornography
There was a time when there was no need for research data to tell us that pornography was harmful. Yet, as pornography has entered the mainstream and society has began to lose its visceral reaction against such material, researchers have stepped up to prove what we once instinctively knew. Studies now prove that pornography and other sexualized media have the capacity to drastically alter the user's brain chemistry and functionality. Whether or not one becomes addicted, virtually no one is immune to the mental, emotional, spiritual, and even physical affetcs of viewing pornography.
