Last time, we discussed how pornography kills love, degrades persons, and harms relationships. It also leads to a loss of personal freedom and often to addiction.

Key points:

Porn is any media — songs, stories, images, or videos — intended to arouse lust by showing nudity or sexual behavior.

Porn can harm the user by leading to an addiction. Especially in younger persons, it can lead to serious addictions and a warped understanding of love and sexuality.

Class will be meeting next Sunday, April 28.
