How Pornography is Ruining Your Sex Life & YOU!!!
"Desensitized to pleasure, sensitized to lust, and crippled in willpower—these are some of the things modern science is unearthing about the affects of porn on the brain." (Covenant Eyes: Your Brain on Porn)
"Normally, when emotions, impulses, and urges surge from the midbrain, the prefrontal lobes are there to exercise “executive control” over them. But when this region is weakened by continual porn use, willpower is eroded and there is nothing to stop the sense of craving for pornography. As a result, the person experiences the urge, not just as a desire, but as an intense need. Neuroscientists call this problem hypofrontality. This person no longer has mastery over his passions but is a slave to them" (Covenant Eyes: Your Brain on Porn)

"Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul...Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2331 - 2336)
"Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes...Sexuality is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman...The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reasons, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2351 - 59 & 2360 - 63) |
"Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves - none of these will possess God's kingdom"
(1 Corinthians 6: 9 - 10) "Avoid immorality. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body; but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6: 18) "You must put to death , then, the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust, evil passions, and greed. Because of such things God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him" (Colossians 3: 5) "If you cannot restrain your desires, go ahead and marry - it is better to marry than to burn with passion" (1 Corinthians 7: 9) |
