ok so this is a great websote, it is so informative, i've been telling people and got a few to agree on not watching porn. my only problem is that some of ur vids on youtube are for 18years or up.... thats crazy especially considering that most porn watchers are kids themselves and at a teen age is where it usually starts. If a teen can eaily click on a buttin that says im 18 and can watch porn then they should be able to see the cons of porn if this is truely the goal you want achieved...

"Imagine if women who pursued pornography themselves because it was deemed hip and sexy and fun decided instead that it was hipper and sexier and more fun to actually have sex with another live, completely engaged individual."

The above is excerpted from a statement by Pamela Paul. This is one of the main problems with being anti-pornography. Not every woman who desires to do so has the luxury of having sex with another live, completely engaged individual. Some of us are homebound-disabled Involuntary Celebates for whom pornographic images are the closest thing to sex with another person we will ever get to experience. I don't see how it could ever be a positive thing to deprive someone of what is ultimately the closest they can get to sex.

I never knew there was a site such as this. I watched porn several years ago fairly regularly for about a year, but always with lingering feelings that it wasn't quite right. Since then I've stopped and when I met my current girlfriend, started thinking about love and, because of her, gender inequalities very often. And so, in more recent years, I have taken a stance against pornography and when I read this website it literally brings tears of joy to my eyes, which I should point out, is odd because I never cry about anything unless it involves my girlfriend. In conclusion, there is probably a lot more I could say but I just needed to use this comment to give my encouragement to this cause.

College Student on September 23, 2011 at 07:31 PM said:

I appreciate this site. I am a male, soon to be 19 in a couple of days. I was addicted to porn since grade 4, and could not escape it until the age of 18 until it had all hit me that my life, no matter what or how was tarnished because of porn. It is the biggest evil in this world. I still struggle sometimes, but I have no watched a pornographic video in over half a year now and am very proud of it. This website makes me feel there is still hope for this world. As a guy it is hard to help my friends, for they don't believe they have a problem. Again, I never comment on any website, or anything like this, but this website has brought me to feel that I needed to. I am a college student, I cannot donate. But I hope you all understand I try to teach my closest friends about how evil it is. Thank you for your time and thank you for your doing. It is well appreciated.

I never knew what really meant pornography until now.Now I know and I cannot be indifferent anymore.I searched some images and a very few videos with couples making love , but all I found were images and videos with women being really humilliated by men . All they seemed to me were males performing "hard" sex without heart, without soul , they were empty with every single bouncing .I began to hate them and to be onest ,to disregard women, (like me)they were becoming less valuable .I really think they should be honored especially because they bring a new life on this planet.And I admire Shelley Lubben for what she is doing.(I am from Romania and I thank god for this )Good luck Shelley: I really do care for you!

This site has been instrumental in my recovering from living with a porn addict for over three years. I was so affected by the trauma, I ended up in counselling. I felt alone and emotionally bankrupt - taken right back to the childhood experiences of sexual abuse and rejection.

I am in the process of completing a humorous book about my own, and other women's experiences in the same situation: 'You Want Me To Do WHAT With That?! The Life Expectancy of a Relationship With a Porn Addict©.' (A second book, 'Confessions of a Love Addict©', will be following shortly, based on the women who tend to find themselves drawn to emotionally unavailable men.)

Although it is written in a humorous vein, it is nonetheless a hard hitting book. It doesn't pull any punches, it won't accept any excuses - yours or his - and it may save your sanity, and perhaps even your life!

Pornography destroyed me to the extent that one could not fathom. I watched it today, some time ago, and later felt so helpless about my addiction.

I got into it out of curiosity and now it seems like there is no escape. I cannot begin to imagine how I could get myself to see things I would never have even thought of. Pornography explores the darkest aspects of civilization which scramble your brain into thinking that it will satisfy your carnal hunger. To anyone who is watching porn, PLEASE STOP!! It will destroy you and erase your self-esteem. This website, though, has been inspiring me for months, and I've had it with living the secret life of a pervert. They say the night is darkest before the dawn and my dawn has finally come. Starting today I am done lusting. I hope anyone who reads this can get inspired to do as I did. Porn is a technological drug delivered through our computers. It's time we begin to control ourselves before it starts controlling us......

Well, can I just say that I love this website? It's honestly taught me so much that I never knew about porn.

Not saying that I have ever watched porn, but I know that I've caught my sister looking at it and it was girl-guy stuff but it was gross. She was on the computer that everyone can see what she's doing too! I mean, I got a glance since she was taking forever and it was horrible! I told my mom and she told my sister (23) to watch that kind of stuff in her bedroom.

I will never ever do any kind of porn or prostitution in my life after checking this website out.

Kat on January 21, 2011 at 09:18 PM said:

After reading a lot on your site, I've come to the conclusion that I already suspected. I think my ex-boyfriend was very into porn, hardcore porn. I can't go as far as to say he was an addict, but I think he watched enough of it that he became jaded in regards to sex. He often wanted to do "facials", to put his hands around my neck, and often, if he was too rough and I would begin crying, he did not stop. I too became jaded into thinking this was ok, that he was just very horny and unable to stop having sex once he started. I thought this was ok and "normal." I know now that it's not.

There were times that if I didn't feel like having sex, he would pretty much talk me into it somehow, or force me sometimes if alcohol was involved. He is a very educated and intelligent person, so I was driven to a state of denial and believed that all of this was ok in a sense even though in the back of my head I knew it wasn't.

I found porn clips on his computer sometimes and I know that he watched it, but I suspect it was more often than I liked to believe. Even his mother said she found some on the family computer once after he'd visited for the holidays. She described it as "bad porn", so I suspect it was violent or degrading. For years our sex life was simply whatever was pleasing to him. I never had an orgasm and it didn't matter to him and honestly, not to me either as I just wanted to get it over with.

After looking on your site, I've realized that, almost without a doubt, porn was influencing this in some ways. It wasn't always this way, but when I began finding things on his computer was around the time this sort of sexual behavior began.

I'd like to thank and support you for educating people on the harms this can cause in many aspects of life, including intimate relationships. I look back and wish I'd been more aware of what was causing him to act this way sexually and why, and that it was not normal in any way. We're no longer together, but now I know I can look for these things in the future.

I've been a porn addict since I was 15 when I found a magazine on a train. I've struggled with this for so long, it's against my religious beliefs but it has plagued me on and off for twenty five years.

This site has horrified me and crystalised my long held desire to stop using porn for good. I've always known it is wrong but I was too weak to give up. The horrible truth of this industry has opened my eyes and provided the motivation for me to finally stop. I can see now how it is all a lie, the women hate it and are exploited. Us men are conned and exploited too, sad victims of our natural urges turned in perversion by this disgusting business.

Orhan on January 4, 2011 at 03:02 AM said:

I'm writing this comment form Turkey. I want to thank you for doing all this work to cry out to the world how bad porn actually is. (Thank you America!)

I used to be a porn addict as a teenager (starting from 16) and during my 20s. Now I'm 32 and can clearly see how egoistic, vile and foolish I've been.

Liz on December 12, 2010 at 03:54 PM said:

Thank you so much, honestly, for making the videos at your AntiPornographyBlog YouTube channel, for spreading your message, and for waking me up!

Recently I have been dealing with a lot regarding my past. I was sexually abused when I was younger, about 5, by a family friend, and nothing was ever done. I have also been taken advantage of in a relationship where my ex-boyfriend was very into porn. It made me feel like I wasn't good enough, and I also found out that he had been cheating on me for 3 months. (Devastating).

I started to rationalize the degrading behaviors because all I've ever wanted was love, attention, and understanding. I'd do anything for it. It's all been hard to talk about, but your videos have saved one more person from a miserable life of degradation, hurt, pain, sickness, and loneliness.

A friend of mine at YouTube, SoberAllmanBrothersFan, told me about your videos and I watched them. THANK GOD I did. You've opened my eyes to how sick this whole industry is and the abusive people it creates, and the beautiful, intelligent, capable people it destroys.

I want to do anything that I can to stop this. I'm 19 years old and I was considering my options for making money. I never saw "what the big deal was" about pornography, until now. I want to do whatever I can to help other young women like myself, and put a stop to this cancer in our society.

Thank you again,
God Bless, Liz

Thank you for your awesome website and your wonderful AntiPornographyBlog YouTube channel. :) I was exposed to a lot of porn as a young teenager from aged 13 and seeing that type of no-loving sex so young really messed me up and has affected my own relationships in a negative way up until the present time . It gave me a warped idea of my own body image, what sex is and what lovemaking really is. I wish I'd never seen any porn at all and I'd be glad for the whole industry to collapse and disappear.

Good luck with your fight. BLESS YOU. :)

Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality  

- by Gail Dines

 

 
DESCRIPTION
 
Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality takes an unflinching look at today’s porn industry: the stories woven into the images, the impact on our culture, the effects on us as men and women, the business machine that creates and markets porn, and the growing legitimacy of porn in mainstream media. Above all, PORNLAND examines the way porn shapes and limits sexual imaginations and behaviors.
 
Although we are surrounded by pornographic images, many people are not aware of just how cruel and violent the industry is today. PORNLAND shows how today’s porn is strikingly different from yesterday’s Playboy and Penthouse magazines — how competition in the industry and consumer desensitization have pushed porn toward hard core extremes. And, with the advent of the internet and other digital technologies, users don’t have to wander far to access porn; todaythe average age of first viewing is about 11 for boys, and studies reveal that young men, who consume more porn than ever before, have difficulty forming healthy relationships.
 
PORNLAND also looks at how our porn culture affects the way women and girls think about their bodies, their sexuality and their relationships. PORNLAND: How Porn has Hijacked our Sexuality argues that rather than sexually liberating or empowering us, porn offers us a plasticized, formulaic, generic version of sex that is boring, lacking in creativity and disconnected from emotion and intimacy.

"The only way to impede sex trafficking is to end demand—to stop buyers from buying."

Shared Hope International, "DEMAND: A Comparative Examination of Sex Tourism and Trafficking in Jamaica, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States"

"DEMAND" - A Documentary by Shared Hope International

This excellent documentary by the anti-sex trafficking organization Shared Hope International is about demand factors for sex trafficking, one of the most significant of which is pornography. It also addresses how all forms of commercial sexual exploitation such as pornography, stripping and prostitution are connected to all other forms such as sex trafficking and sex slavery. Please visit EndDemand.org to learn more about how demand for sex trafficking is created by those individuals (mostly men) who purchase women and children for sex.

 


 

For 2 minute and 12 minute versions of the above video, as well as more information from Shared Hope about demand, please click here.

                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shared Hope International specifically focuses on fighting the demand for commercial sexual exploitaiton, including addressing pornography as a very significant demand factor for sex trafficking. 

Please see their excellent report on this issue:

Pornography: Creating Demand for International Sex Trafficking

                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Pornography is a marketing device for sex trafficking: It normalizes degradation and violence as acceptable and even inevitable parts of sex, and uses the bodies of real women and children as objects. The difference between pornography and erotica is clear in the roots of the words themselves -- porne means females slaves, eros means love -- so pornography, like rape, is about violence and domination, not sex. Millions of lives depend on our ability to separate pornography from erotica, and to disentangle violence from sexuality."

Gloria Steinem, 2006
