What does it mean?
books, magazines, films, etc. with no artistic value which describe or show sexual acts or naked people in a way that is intended to be sexually exciting but would be considered unpleasant or offensive by many people.
Why is GTR anti-porn?
Even if we comply within the law there are still other issues this subject raises. Damage to our development maybe.
If I were to say to you that using pornography is likely to damage the chances of you forming meaningful and successful relationships for the future. You maybe suprized.
- Pornography helps men and women view humans as mere sex objects.
- Pornography lowers moral values in individuals and society resulting in the acceptability and/or legalization of prostitution, fornication, adultery, and other sexual abuse.
- Pornography creates unrealistic expectations of sex and sexual practices that partners may be unable or unwilling to fulfill.
- Pornography isolates sexual fulfillment from a caring relationship with another human being, rendering it essentially selfish.
- Pornography exploits young people’s naiveté and need for money, prostituting images of their bodies to fulfill peoples lusts.
- Pornography is linked to crimes of rape, incest, and sexual abuse of children.
- The pornographic industry is increasingly controlled by organized crime.
- Pornography can become psychologically addictive, leading many individuals to crave more and more bizarre sexual fantasies to stimulate them.
In order that we can prepare you for the future we see pornography promoting sexual activites outside a meaningful relationship. We ideally desire that you seek less sexual partners and place more effort and learning into what makes a meaningful relationship.
So what damage will porn do to us and others?
The main difficulty is it affects us in our search, performance and maintaining a real relationship with another human. Porn promotes humans as sex objects and focuses exclusively on our animal instinct with little regard to how we deal with human relationships.
The porn subject does not know you and you do not know the subject. Just like fast foods you pay eat and go and you are not really interested in what fast foods are doing to your body. It tastes good and it’s quick. Some isolate sex in the same way. Porn can also be an empty fix. Porn is easily available via the internet and can be addictive.
Relationships can then be sexually based rather than love centred a fragile reason to base a relationship on. One partner will see the relationship not going any where. If trust exists it soon gets lost. You will not realise that your maturity levels are responsible but blame something else in the relationship.
Exposing yourself to pornography is less likely to help you find or keep a successful relationship. Treating people as sex objects does the opposite of forming a real relationship. The obvious mental and emotional signs in your partner do not match your expectations as your porn subjects. It’s as if porn switches your animal side on more than your partner does.
Pornography has two sides the subject and the viewer the damage can be so subtle you may not be aware of it. The subject does not belong to you but your mind thinks it does. Being possessive with your partner is copying it from your pornography mind set.
Finally we ask if we choose our partners on the basis of looks alone and reject ideal partners based on their failure to match with our pornography perception. It becomes impossible to find a real person to come even close to your object expectation.
Ultimately you have control over yourself where an animal cannot do this they can only respond to their stimulus. It’s a selfish act that many adopt and base their sexual partners on.
What is lawful in pornography and what is the different between soft pornography or hard pornography?
Every country has a minimum age limit usually from the age of 18 to take part in soft porn. Hard porn is usually illegal to produce it and distribute.
Hard pornography is generally defined as showing sexual acts, erect penises and penetration where soft porn only pretends to be penetration and penises are never errect.
If you are under 18 and take pictures of yourself being soft or hard pornography you are breaking the law. Serious charges would include production and distribution of child pornorgraphy. Because you are under 18. Anyone under the age of 18 is regarded in law as children.
