Why the billboards?

We are convinced that people don't know the simple yet damaging truths about porn use.  There are too many people trapped by porn addiction, which in turn, ruins the lives of the users, their families, and even contributes to the selling of human beings for sex and pornographic images.  
It's time to pass on the truth about porn.

Affects the User

Have you ever linked porn use to depression, anxiety, anger, erectile dysfunction, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, violence, infidelity, loneliness? (this is not a complete list)

Porn affects the brain like a drug.  Read about it HERE.

Just because you watch it "every once in a while" doesn't mean it doesn't effect you.  You don't need to have an addiction to porn for it to effect you negatively. 
​
​Can you check yes to any of the following? 
  • I feel powerless to resist the urge to view porn.
  • I frequently spend more time or money on porn than I initially intended.
  • I have made many unsuccessful attempts to limit or stop viewing porn.
  • I spend a significant portion of time viewing porn, thinking about porn, or engaging in activities that will enable access to porn.
  • I neglect family, social, or work obligations to view porn.
  • I continue to use porn despite experiencing negative consequences.
  • I pass up opportunities, or consider passing up opportunities, to have more time to use or view porn.
  • I feel anxious, stressed, or irritable if I’m unable to access porn.

If so, you should probably seek help.  It's not too late.  Your side effects are reversible just by stopping using porn! 

If not, don't keep looking at porn
or
don't start looking at porn.  There is no good thing about it.

Affects others

 Porn isn't just a "personal" thing. One's porn use hurts others, too.
It negatively affects one's marriage and other relationships physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  These effects can possibly lead to divorce and/or broken relationships.
​
It fuels rape and sexual assault.
It fuels infidelity. 

Read about it HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE
(and you'll find more if you search for it)

Porn fuels bad sexual habits for teens and young people.  It is an issue related to the epidemic of sexting and child-on-child sexual abuse.  Kids and teens are getting sex education by watching porn.  Is that really where we want our children learning about sex?  It is often violent, grotesque, physically and verbally abusive toward women and very unrealistic.

contributes to the selling and buying of people

It creates demand for the selling and buying of human beings for sex....AKA sex trafficking...AKA slavery. 
​

There is NO WAY to tell if the person(s) in the pornographic images have given their consent to perform.  Most often the answer is they have NOT, so you don't know if you are watching someone who is enslaved or "chose" to be in the image/video.

Testimony after testimony of sex trafficking victims and survivors included how videos and images of them were taken with out their consent and uploaded online.  Some of their videos went viral. 

Porn is often used to train sex trafficking victims about what their buyers will want.

Many people who are addicted to porn end up buying people to satisfy their next "hit" and/or fulfill their fetishes and fantasies.

Porn and sex trafficking are just like any product with supply and demand. The more you view/watch porn the higher the demand for more videos, which means more "performers" or victims to create these images/videos, which contributes to the cycle of sex trafficking.  

​The bottom line...


YOU WATCH PORN?  YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM OF SEX TRAFFICKING.
