Porn Kills Love !

Fight The New Drug !

Too often pornography and love seem to count as even exchanges in our culture. It is time to take a closer look, and see things as they really are. Pornography is the antithesis of love; now a days, so many people are chasing after what they think love is from what they have seen in the movies, on TV, read in novels, and even from viewing pornography. We are not saying love can’t be spectacular and wonderful, what we are saying is the porn industry shouldn’t tell you what love feels like or what it looks like. You should determine that.

Pornography is…

• Fake, nothing about porn is real. Not only is it not real, it creates unrealistic sexual expectations.
• Selfish, it only cares about itself. It will leave you just as it found you, alone. As a consumer of pornography, you are only focused on your needs, your wants, and your time table. Pornography soon becomes preferred over human interaction.
• Degrading, it minimizes committed relationships, glorifies violence against women, perpetuates violence against women, and reduces the individual to their body parts without any other characteristics that make them a human being—personality, hopes, dreams, emotions, a life.
• Ugly. There is nothing glamorous about porn. It treats people as objects. That’s ugly.
• Demanding. Porn doesn’t care what hopes and goals you have. It demands everything from you, your time, your emotional capacity, your social life, your job, your family, everything.   

We, as human beings, are designed with the need to love, to feel love, and to share those feelings of love with another person. Pornography makes you think those needs are being met, but they really aren’t. Pornography will not and cannot love you back.

Love is…

• Real, sharing your time with another actual person, learning and growing together, that’s love. That’s real. If you feel it, you know it.
• Selfless. Love puts the needs of others above the needs of self. It wants what is best for the other person regardless of the sacrifice.

• Uplifting. The sun shines brighter, song lyrics suddenly make sense. It leaves you better than you were when it found you. Love allows you to be vulnerable and gives you the ability to be responsible to treat with care the vulnerabilities of another person.
• Beautiful. Some people might think, “Pornographic images are beautiful to me,” but there is nothing beautiful about that person wrapped up in bed with their laptop or cell phone. Two real individuals in a committed relationship, now that’s beautiful.  
• Giving. Love gives all it has without the thought of receiving anything in return.

It is important to remember that even in a society that is inundated with pornography and pornographic images, you can choose to rebel—you can fight for love. If it has already infiltrated your life, there is help. If you are tired of seeing so many people plagued by it, you can help. An addiction to pornography may have plagued you or someone you love, but it does not have to win. As long as you are fighting back, and rejecting its message, love wins.

Fight the New Drug invites you to fight for REAL LOVE and reject its hollow counterfeit. Talk to those around you about this issue. Don’t let society tell you that it’s too taboo to address. We can’t afford to continue as we have.

Resist the reaction of judging those who have struggled and, instead, offer them help in their fight. In battlefields, soldiers don’t look down with disgust on their comrades who are wounded. Why would we? Be encouraging. Learn all you can about the harmful effects of pornography so you are prepared and equipped in your fight against it. Improve love and connection in your personal relationships. Spend quality time with those around you instead of hiding behind your phones and devices. Technology is great, but don’t let it be a wedge between you and others. Talk. Listen. Love.

If you want to get involved in the fight, like us on Facebook. If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction to pornography, you can get help.
