I was first exposed to porn at the age of seven when I found a Playboy underneath my oldest brother’s gun cabinet. (Wow, things have changed since then. Instead of hiding magazines, we erase our browser’s history. Makes me feel old.) Regardless, my first exposure to porn as it seems inevitable especially for the male gender taught me too much.
1. Objectivity-Porn taught me to objectify women. Instead of seeing women as people or as a father’s daughter, I saw them as objects to fulfill a deep lust. Something to please me.
2. Dominance-Porn taught me that I was dominant to women. Women were to please and obey as if men were their god, fulfilling man’s every last sexual demand.
3. Fantasy-Porn taught me that relationships were to fulfill every fantasy. I’m a college student, single, and still a virgin (and wishing to stay that way until marriage). Porn taught me that my dating relationships and even friendships were to supply my every fantasy, both physically sexual and mentally sexual.
The underlying truth porn taught me a lie; Women are much more than objects. They’re people. They have feelings, emotions, dreams, fears, and goals. One thing that gets me the most is that woman is some father’s little baby girl…his princess. And if their father was a dirt bag, they’re the Father’s princess. Genesis says that woman is man’s help-mate, meaning they were to help us in life. I’d suggest physically, sexually, and spiritually. God designed them as out help-mates…not our subjects. Lastly, women cannot fulfill the mythical fantasies that porn breeds in men. I wish I could further explain this, but, being a virgin, I cannot. The simple truth is: PORN LIES.
