Sadly, porn is an issue which must be addressed, as it has become entrenched within our society, with no signs of the demand decreasing. In fact, those who produce porn are intent upon ensuring that more people at an ever younger age are not only exposed to it, but begin becoming "consumers" of it. As such, their spin and marketing ploys will continue to try to reframe it as something normal and acceptable.

 

Because this is such a false representation of the realities of porn, we felt it was important to share the insights and knowledge that Survivor Support's Jon K. Uhler gained from his clinical work with both incarcerated sex offenders, and from his work with men in outpatient therapy who are addicted to pornography.

 

More than anything, he hopes that men will heed the warning not to involve themselves in porn, for it will produce only negative consequences, and will lead them down a very dark path, which will produce very dangerous changes within their minds and character.  And, for women,  he hopes they will understand that the world is trying to deceive them into thinking that porn will help their relationships, and is something that is to be expected. That couldn't be further from the truth.

 

No matter how porn is marketed or packaged, it is imperative to understand that it will never produce anything positive.  Much to the contrary, it will inevitably produce regret, grief, loss, broken hearts and dreams, the destruction of souls, the death of hopes and dreams, and even the death of others.

 

And, it holds the very real possibility of leading a man down a very dark and twisted path, changing him into a very deviant person from which he may never recover.
