3. Definition of Pornography
•The depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or
writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
•Etymology: from French pornographie, from Greek
pornographos "(one) depicting prostitutes," from
porne "prostitute," + graphein "to write" (see -
graphy). A brothel in ancient Greek was a porneion.

4. The Porn Crisis
•Ninety percent of teens and 96 percent of young adults talk about pornography
in either neutral, accepting, or encouraging ways.
•Only 32 percent of teens and young adults report that viewing pornography is
“usually or always wrong.”
•Teenage and young adult men are the group most likely to view porn at least
weekly with 51 percent reporting that they do. (Adult women are least likely at just
6 percent).
•About one in five youth pastors admit they currently use porn at least
monthly. The vast majority (87 percent) of pastors who use porn “feel a great
sense of shame about it,” compared to other adults who are much less likely to
care.
•62% of teens and young adults have received a sexually explicit image and 41%
have sent one (usually from/to their boy/girlfriend or friend).

5. Why Porn is Bad for You
•Hurts you. Rewires brain to bond with images not people
•Devalues people—especially women. Their main value is to
satisfy you sexually
•Will endanger your relationship with your girlfriend/spouse
•Will endanger your marriage and family. Leads to divorce
•Will never satisfy you. Will make you its slave.
•Will often lead to depression & self-hatred & drug use
•Can lead to abuse & violence against girls & women!!

6. The Benefits of Porn
•Sexual pleasure without any responsibility or relationship
•A cheap addiction, no hangover, usually not illegal
•A way to avoid dealing with the real issues of your life
•A way to develop an isolated, non-bonding personality
•Protects you from real love with opposite sex
•Helps keep divorce lawyers in business
•Empowers your violent tendencies toward women
•Empowers you to ignore God’s commands against sexual immorality

7. God Says… 1 Cor. 6: 15-20
•“Don’t you realize that your bodies are
actually parts of Christ? Should a man take
his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a
prostitute? Never!
•And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself
to a prostitute, he becomes one body with
her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united
into one.’ But the person who is joined to the
Lord is one spirit with him.

8. God Says… 1 Cor. 6: 15-20
•Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly
affects the body as this one does. For sexual
immorality is a sin against your own body.
•Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of
the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to
you by God?
•You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you
with a high price. So you must honor God with
your body.

9. God Knows You Are in a Battle: He Will Help
•“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the
desires of the flesh. For the flesh craves what is
contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to
the flesh. They are opposed to one another, so that you
do not do what you want.” (1 Cor. 5:16-18)
