We are living in the perfect storm of sexual misinformation. Porn has revolutionized how and when humans “learn” what sex is. Once porn became accessible online for free, with nearly no restrictions to protect children, it wasn’t long before it became the most frequently accessed “educator” on sex. It is worst test-case for sex education in history. The average person who looks at porn found it by the age of 12. Students in the UK acknowledge using porn intentionally to fill the voids in their own sexual education experience.

As much as 45% of current porn videos are violent and nearly all of them portray experiences that prioritizes the male’s carnal needs as opposed to a mutually fulfilling experience that empowers both. It is creating insatiable desires for more exotic and unrealistic experiences much like a substance abuse addiction.

Porn is conditioning people to view sex through the lens of self-satisfaction as opposed to intimate connection and this sex education experiment is destroying our ability as a species to experience the deep connections sex was meant to create. Whether this is new information to you or a truth that you have experienced first hand we want to invite you to learn, heal, protect and share the truth of how porn is impacting our society.

Porn sells this story that women love being used, abused and fulfilling whatever sexual desire the man they are with has. Many men justify their porn addiction with the mindset that the women in the video are there by choice. In reality, many women are trafficked and in some cases the rape scenes are real, not fake. 

Research shows links of porn to erectile dysfunction, specifically when with a real life partner. There are also increasing signs that it impacts one's ability to be committed to a partner. Porn essentially rewires the brain for self pleasure rather than intimacy and connection.

Porn portrays unattainable sexual experiences that create a need to mimic that behavior. Since sex is meant to create a bond between two individuals, developing a mindset based on performance and erotica can create unthealthy desires. Sex workers are often asked to play out a porn scene that the client’s wife is unwilling to “perform.” True love making is a beautiful dance between two partners not a one-sided show.

Porn makes sex about the orgasm. Our brains discover very early that an orgasm is a great numbing medication for life’s challenges. This causes our subconscious to chase that feeling and in so doing shrinks an orgasm to the likes of a pill, rather than a method for deep human connection. Porn essentially minimizes sex to an act and in so doing rewires our brains to not need connection from an orgasm.

Psychologists have likened porn to substance abuse. It shares many of the same characteristics and effects, and the most obvious one is the insatiable need to experience more. Nearly every porn addict reports needing new, exotic and more erotic porn over time. This mirrors the tolerance created from drinking alcohol excessively or needing larger quantities of a drug to get the same high. Porn in essence guarantees you will never be sexually satisfied. 

Porn turns sex into an emotionless point-of-sale transaction. One person gets what they want and in return is willing to give to the other. You simply pay a website and sexual pleasure ensues. There might even be a discount and you get your orgasm in that moment with no commitments—and for free. The moment we as humans have made sex out to be transactional, our brain began filing it in the same folder as all the other things we can simply buy. This is a cheap and meaningless way for a human mind to view sex.
