Pornography addiction can be a difficult addiction to overcome. Pornography dehumanizes, objectifies, and degrades women, men, and sometimes children for the purpose of sexual arousal. The statistics of pornography use in the US are staggering. Consider the following statistics (from https://churchm.ag/porn-stats/):

• Porn sites comprise 12% of the internet
• 90% of children ages 8-16 have viewed porn
• The largest consumers of pornography are 12-17-year-old boys
• 70% of men ages 18-34 visit a porn site in a typical month
• 25% of search engine requests are for porn
• 50% of pastors regularly look at porn
• 38% of adults say porn is morally acceptable

Pornography use is destructive and causes pain for both the individual and his or her family members. Some negative effects of pornography use are:

• Lack of intimacy in marriage
• Increased aggression and violence
• Family problems leading to separation or divorce
• Loss of conscience regarding sexual sin
• Increase in pornography use over time
