How pornography hurts you...

Some people say that there is nothing wrong with pornography. After all, they argue, it is just a little harmless adult fun. And nobody really gets hurt by it, right? Wrong!

Pornography hurts everybody...

It hurts individuals who spend time and money they can’t afford in pursuit of thrills that never really satisfy the heart;It hurts and destroys marriages when spouses feel alienated from those they love the most;It hurts children when their parents can’t set a good moral example for them;It hurts the thousands of people, mostly women, involved in the sex industry, many of whom have been the victims of sexual exploitation and crime from a very young age. It hurts society when it erodes our standards of decency and respect for other human beings. It trains and conditions people to become very self-centered and selfish. Satan's battle cry is 'I will not serve.'


Pornography hurts you:

SPIRITUALLY because pornography perverts the God given desire for intimacy and union, and turns it into something that makes this intimacy and union impossible; It is demonic and sinful. This is serious sin and if not repented of, it will result in eternal separation from God. Our Lady of Fatima showed the children of Fatima a vision of Hell. One of the children visionaries sister Lucia says, 

"The only important thing...will I save my soul? She opened Her hands once more, as She had done the two previous months. The rays appeared to penetrate the earth, and we saw, as it were, a vast sea of fire. Plunged in this fire, we saw the demons and the souls. The latter were like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, having human forms. They were floating about in that conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames which issued from within themselves, together with great clouds of smoke. Now they fell back on every side like sparks in huge fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fright (it must have been this sight which caused me to cry out, as people say they heard me).

The demons were distinguished by their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful and unknown animals, black and transparent like burning coals. That vision only lasted for a moment, thanks to our good Heavenly Mother, Who at the first apparition had promised to take us to Heaven. Without that, I think that we would have died of terror and fear. We then looked up at Our Lady, who said to us so kindly and so sadly: “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.”"

Our Lady told Jacinta (another child visionary): "The sins which lead the most souls to hell are sins of the flesh." Lucia said, "Jacinta would often sit on the ground or on a rock, and she would say, growing pensive: “Oh, hell, hell! How sorry I am for the souls that go to hell! And the people who are there, being burned alive, like wood in a fire!” And she would kneel down, half trembling, with her hands joined, to recite the prayer Our Lady had taught us: “O my Jesus, forgive us, deliver us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need”… And Jacinta would remain kneeling for a long time, repeating the same prayer."

 
MENTALLY because pornography teaches an exploitative view of sex that creates unrealistic expectations; And again, it desecrates the dignity of the human person. 
EMOTIONALLY because pornography desensitizes and isolates you; 
PHYSICALLY it can hurt you because it can lead to sexual addiction and other compulsive, destructive behaviors. Images affect behaviors; otherwise companies would not spend billions to advertise their brands. The brand of sex that pornography promotes is a behavioral attitude that is abusive and self destructive.
