A few weeks ago, I submitted a research paper to the Stand for the Family symposium and found out this week that I won an award for it and that it is going to be published. I am really excited about it, and a little nervous, because next Saturday I have to present it to an audience at the symposium. The title of my paper is "The Destructiveness of Pornography to Family Relationships: Preventative Measures and Help with Addiction." In my paper, I discuss how internet pornography is different from other forms of pornography because of its "Triple-A-Engine Effect of Accessibility, Affordability, and Anonymity. Then, I go on to describe the ways in which pornography affects the marital relationship, the parent-child relationship, and the individual in a family. Last, I discuss preventative measures and help for those already in addiction.
I think internet pornography is a huge issue today. It is widely available and comes up when one is not even looking for it. I think I decided to write about this topic because my husband I are about to have our first baby, a boy. Statistics show that the average age of exposure to pornography is age 11, and although women can become addicted to it, it is much more of a problem for men. We know that our son will be exposed to it, but we want to teach him healthy ways to confront and battle against it. I will post the link once my paper is published next week!
