Research Shows Early Porn Exposure Has Lasting Effects
AgapePress reports that recent studies confirming the corruptive impact of
pornography on people revealed a growing concern among both secularists and
Christians regarding its effect on children, especially if they are exposed
at an early age. Author Peter Stock addressed the concern in a document
titled "The Harmful Effects on Children of Exposure to Pornography," in
which he noted that viewing pornography distorts the sexual development of
children and adolescents. Not only does it give an inadequate perspective
of human sexuality, it dehumanizes women.
"This possibly violent, very
degrading image or depiction of sexuality becomes the normal depiction of
sexuality in the child's mind," said Daniel Weiss of Focus on the Family
Action. Even if the exposure is accidental, research shows that it can warp
a child's understanding of sexuality. The twisted view follows them through
life, and creates a plethora of problems along the way. Experts associate
early exposure to pornography with an increase in teen pregnancy, abuse,
drug and alcohol abuse, and relationship problems.
According to researcher
Dr. Jeffrey Satinover, these problems surface when external beauty fades
after years of marriage.
