Is "just a little" pornography OK?

Forty-three percent of Internet users look at pornography. The number of women who view pornography is also increasing.  It seems a growing number of adults and teens believe that "just a little" pornography is not harmful.  In my opinion, this statement is dangerous.

Pornography promotes an unrealistic view of sexuality. It glorifies sexual behavior that does not exist in the average person's life. It degrades and objectifies women due to its focus on basal urges. Its viewers cannot develop any significant emotional meaning from it.

Some might argue that occasional pornography viewing is psychologically harmless and some will even argue that it's healthy. It's likely that viewing pornography once or twice will probably not cause addiction or lasting affects. However, that also depends on the viewer and the images viewed.







"Just a little" pornography may be the starting point, and it may not be the ending point, but it's likely not going to help the affected achieve a happy point.
