As I read about a friend's neighbor in the paper I am reminded of some important truths. A husband and father is in jail now for child enticement. Rightly so. He communicated online with someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl and sought to have sexual contact. It was a sting operation, thankfully. He was actually communicating with police. He didn't get to claim another victim thanks to the vigilance of caring people.
I read the online comments and people were saying all of the things that one normally says about a pedophile, including some names I can't even mention here. But as I read I wondered how many of those people normally defend the production and viewing of pornography of adults? The common idea is that adults who engage in pornography do so willingly. Basically, defenders of adult pornography draw their line because of consent. They say an adult can consent.
But I am here challenging that premise. One singular piece of evidence proves pornography defenders completely wrong. The question to ask is WHO are these adults who become pornographic "artists?" The answer: nearly ALL are survivors of some form of childhood sexual abuse. I won't quite go out on the limb and say absolutely ALL simply because there will always be the person who denies it. I will state that again: nearly ALL pornographic performers are themselves victims of childhood sexual abuse. Look it up! How are they able to consent when that ability was taken from them at a very young age? Adult pornography is simply continued exploitation of men and women who were robbed of their childhood.
Those who view adult pornography are reaping the harvest that the pedophiles before them have sown.
