I’ve downloaded this interview from the Drew Marshall Show. He interviews Crissy, an ex-porn star who has a great story to tell. For those who are striving to avoid the temptation of pornography, it is so helpful to remember that there are real women behind the pixels on the screen.

Statistics show that as many as 64% of church-going men of all ages and 34% of church-going women ages 18-30 look at porn regularly.1 Unfortunately, accountability is largely absent from the church today.

You are right angel may the Lord help us all I dicide to be strong against pornography.
D devils are using dis americans to influence d world no wonder porn has eaten every corner of d world…may god save us from dis wicked industry i pray my sons n daughters dont engage in it..amen
you are correct angel.
I have something to say about porn. I have struggled for years because I am 5 ft, 7 inches. WHen I was a kid, girls ignored me. Teased me. Insulted me. I turned to porn at 13 because nobody showed me any love or respect. Numerous, scores of females ignore me or cheated on me for the other guy. Taller, stronger, probably bigger down there. Disrespected me. I have an amazing heart and always always cared for females. They, in my eyes always turn to the guy that makes more money, is bigger, stronger, richer. So many females I hear in Alanon meetings talk about their husbands drinking and acting being abusive. Yet they stay with them. Scores of other females I here are raped, insulted, treated like property. I have seen this my whole entire life. Yet, I’ve been without a girlfriend for 14 years. I always thought females had intuition about a good guy. Females talk about wanting this guy to love them and respect them yet so many of them constantly chose the bad guy for excitement and “fun.” I’ve seen scores of these men. they are arrogant, cocky. Treat their girlfriends like property. Of course the porn industry has men with penises that are huge and thick and all I see is gorgeous females all over them. Well, screw you porn industry and EVERYTHING you stand for. I hate this industry more than anything and it has tainted my view of life and love. False messages and images. For money! I don’t understand how females don’t realize how these men are so freakin abusive and take this stuff from them. It blows my mind to see them be treated the way they do. I personally could NEVER treat a female like this. EVER. et it just is everywhere. Even in clubs, guys just slam girls against the mirrors and pretend like they are screwing them, put pills in their drinks, manipulate them, coerce them for their own personal gain. I could go on and on. This image of man is not me yet I am still single. Everywhere I go, I see guys grabbing girls rudely to stroke their own ego. If I was a female, I will tell most of these guys to go screw themselves bc they don’t respect me (if I was a girl) Yet so many just put up with it and then say to the nice respectful guy, oh he’s a good friend, blah blah blah, let me go back to my abusive relationship or jump in another one. Many guys will say well I just have to see how many girls I can get pregnant. Wow. That takes a lot of responsibility of a man. Yet so many girls jump in the sac Knowing this. Whatever! If this is how our world is, then I can’t wait to go to heaven. Males, don’t comment on this bc if you do, maybe you are that guy! I have NOTHING to say to you. YOu females are God’s creation, fearfully and wonderfully made and yet all this abuse. Why do men do this? So many of them to females. And so many females put up with it. I can’t stand it! God help us all.
You know, after reading your comment, I just couldn’t agree more! You are 1000% right! Everything that you said, is completely accurate and that’s what makes it so scary! Me being a female, I just cannot understand why so many women tolerate and allow these men to treat them in such vile, disgusting, disrespectful ways. Stand up for yourself and don’t ever let someone walk over you like that! It all goes back a little deeper than that though, it starts with gender roles and stereotypes where men think that women are inferior to them and that women only exist to “please” them. Well I say, that’s all just one big load of crap! We are equal genders and should be treated exactly the same! The only thing that separates us, is our bodies and sexualities. I don’t understand how some women can just stay in an abusive relationship for so long and allow their man to constantly abuse and disrespect them! It’s so sad! And don’t even get me started on the porn industry. It is a disgusting, demonic, satanic, evil business that is the sere work of the devil. I’ve been doing a lot of research and it’s becoming clear just how evil the porn industry is. It will destroy you in more ways than one, and it will create more spawns of Satan. I’ll explain why. Ever notice how majority of the women performing in porno movies are degraded and viewed as nothing more than an “object”? Well this degradation of women is destructive to the male’s mind, as it is one of the main reasons why a lot of men today are so disrespectful towards women and treat them as nothing more than mere “objects”. When these men watch porn and see the way the women are being treated, this puts an idea in their head that this is how women are to be treated. They are viewing these videos and thinking that it is okay to treat women like that, well in reality NO…no it is NOT okay! You can sort of see how this is linked to the behaviours of many men to this day. They are being influenced by porn and are becoming desensitized to violence towards women and they are being taught that it’s okay to treat women in such a way that degrades them. This effect is not only dangerous to the male mine though, it has just as negative an affect towards women as it does men. Many women see these women in the videos and start to question themselves and what they are worth. Overall it’s just sad to know that a lot of women are suffering from this and are allowing men to treat them like this. I myself have become more educated on the matter and have had my eyes opened for a long time. Porn is evil, disgusting, destructive, and most of all…it is MISLEADING!!!!
At times i get attractd 2 watch pornograhy,but when i see those women something in me just wants 2 reach out and possibly make them better person. God truly delivers if u trust him,because i was once a masturbator
It’s a crying shame that all over America, people hold guns to these girls heads and force them to go into the business.
The Gun held to their heads are abusive households growing up, poverty, lack of educations, debts, and not enough positive role models to teach them to value themselves and their bodies and care about their long term health more.
this site is loaded. i want to meet people like this. people who have hurt themselves deeply and have come to know the pure love of Christ
