Pornography. Porn. What do you think when you first hear that word?

Do you think of those actors and actresses as possible sex trafficking victims?

Do you think of the objectification of women?

Do you think of how much porn twists once healthy mental ideas about sexual relationships into negative, unrealistic ideas about sexual relationships?

Do you think of the damage it does to both the male and female self esteem and sense of value?

Do you think of the broken families that pornography can create?

Do you think of the lasting images that will have damaging effects on current and future relationships?

Probably not.

Many of you who are reading this, don't think that way. Well, here at Called to Rescue, we take the issue of pornography very seriously because it has a major impact on the work that we do.

I, Amanda, attended a seminar this past week that focused on pornography and sexual violence and if I didn't think it was terrible before, it became pure evil.

Check this link out and wander around their site, a lot of statistics within this seminar were pulled from this site. Become informed and help stop the deterioration of healthy sexual relationships within our culture.
