I believe that pornography should be put to an end!
We can put so much effort in SOPA and ACTA to fight for the 'rights' of multinational companies, making them richer and richer. Why is it so hard for us to save the future generation.
Undeniably porn destroys the mind, corrupts healthy mentality and goes against every single moral understanding of mankind.
I'm sad that porn made our children rotten.
Jamie is 13 but he's now on the Sex Offender Register after online porn warped his mind...
Jamie was ten years old when he saw his first pornographic sex scene. During a sleepover, a classmate offered to show him ‘some funny pictures’ on his laptop.‘At first I found it a bit scary and a bit yucky,’ Jamie told me as he shifted uncomfortably on his chair during our therapy session.‘I didn’t know it was possible for people to do those sort of things — and there were lots of nasty close-ups. But it gave me funny feelings and the pictures started to stick in my head.’For the next three years, while his parents assumed he was using his computer for his homework, Jamie visited porn websites for up to two hours a night.Even when his school performance began to suffer, they had no idea of the murky world their shy, quiet son was inhabiting while upstairs in his bedroom.While it’s not his real name, Jamie is typical of the young men I meet. He explained: ‘The websites led me to other websites and soon I was looking at even weirder stuff I could never have imagined — animals, children, stabbing and strangling.‘I stopped leaving my room and seeing my friends because when I was away from the pornography, I was dying to get back to see what else I could find.’And it was only when the police came knocking one morning that Jamie’s secret life was exposed.After identifying that someone in the house was accessing child porn, they took Jamie’s laptop away for examination. Jamie is only 13 — and he still hasn’t even kissed a girl, let alone had sex.Though he is only a child himself, the result is that he has been put on the Sex Offender Register, blighting his life for the foreseeable future.Even with intensive therapy, Jamie still suffers from deep shame — ‘as if it is written across my forehead’ — which has led him to fear he will never be able to form a healthy relationship with a woman.As he told me at a recent session: ‘It still makes me think I might never have a proper girlfriend — because the pictures still come back to me sometimes. It make makes me want to shout, “Stop, stop.” But sometimes they still won’t go away.’Jamie’s story is not unique. He is just one of the growing number of young patients referred by social services, youth offender services and police to the Portman Clinic — where I work as a psychotherapist. I would never normally consider speaking out in this way. But after much thought, I have come to the conclusion this is no longer just a private problem. It is a public health problem.
Answering the following questions could help you in what I referred to before this as setting yourself free from 'the shell'. These questions do not mean to solicit answers from you because they are just food for thought.
ReplyDelete1. Your statement: I call for a TOTAL BAN on pornography.
What’s your understanding of ‘total’ ban? Would it be practical? Does it mean current law does not ban certain types of pornography? Don’t you think the ban on a bad practice might become the cause for it at a later stage?
2. Your statements: We can put so much effort in SOPA and ACTA to fight for the 'rights' of multinational companies, making them richer and richer. Why is it so hard for us to save the future generation.
Why is the issue of eliminating piracy relevant in your call here? How is the fact that MNCs are better-off relevant in your appeal to ban pornography? Why is saving future generation stated here?

Does pornography make our children rotten? Why do you think pornography makes our children rotten?
