The Effects of Porn – new report from the Family Research Counsel
The Family Research Counsel recently released their report: “The Effects of Pornography on Individuals, Marriage, Family and Community.” This report was compiled by Patrick F. Fagan, Ph.D., and is full of information about the effects of pornography on children, adolescents, men, women, and society.
If you are looking for a good place to start doing research on this subject, this resource is excellent, pulling information from dozens of studies.
Thanks for a great information that we can use to spread the word about this crisis of pornography within our culture and the church.
Your friends at Freedom Begins Here
Hello, my name is Tim Murphy. I am a senior in high school and I am participating in a government class in which we create a public policy. My policy is to eliminate children’s access to online pornography by making porn pay-only and it requires a credit card to access. If you could give your opinion on this policy it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim.
@Tim – That is one way to do it (if you could enforce it). Part of the problem is that (1) porn can be homemade, and (2) much porn is shared on P2P networks. Pretty much every regulated solution will have to face this grim reality.
Another way to legislate it is by using Internet ports more creatively. I recommend you check out the documentary Traffic Control.
