“The word pornography comes from the Greek meaning whore, prostitute, prostitute and buying or selling a woman” (Oprah, 2009). The word alone is degrading to women, how bad could the actions themselves be? There are many forms of pornography: magazines, posters, music, videos and the most popular, the Internet. All of this makes access far too easy. Some of the serious effects include violent and degrading acts against women, the difference between a real sex life and that on television, and the sexual problems that pornography contributes to for many, many couples. “There are more adult bookstores than MacDonald's in the world. American pornography is an $8 billion a year market with annual box sales of $50 million” (Oprah, 2009). Lust aside, pornography is dangerous and destructive for many reasons. First of all, it gives an unrealistic view of the female body. The women in these videos are slim, airbrushed from head to toe, wearing makeup covering all kinds of imperfections and of course big fake tits. And on top of all these additions, they edit and photoshop the videos to make them even more perfect! “How can a man look at these false images of “sexual perfection” and not start thinking less of his wife? How can you not be affected by these images? And when he thinks that "my wife would look better with bigger breasts" or "I wish my wife would shave her pubic hair like that", isn't he lusting after another woman who looks like That ? » (The Marriage Bed, Inc, 2009). Men compare their wives to these unrealistic female figures and want them to change. How is this fair to a woman? People who watch pornography get an immediate response and of course, the result, positive reinforcement. "It's impossible for men to watch porn without being in the middle of a paper...eh. Women are treated like a piece of meat when it comes to pornography. The only benefit from pornography only lasts a few seconds, and again, it's for men. It's going to be interesting to see what happens to pornography in the next few years. Either it continues to increase or someone realizes that this material isn't. not acceptable. Men should think about it before watching it. They should ask themselves if it's worth putting their marriage on the line, or if it's okay for their children to have as easy access to these videos as they do, or. that their daughters could one day be victims because of all this. What happened to passionate sex with the one we love… and respect? Pornography is just a vicious cycle. creates the exact opposite in real life of what it promises in fantasy life. Ironic isn't it?
