Pornography is the New Drug Addiction

Celebrating #RedRibbonWeek this week, it's a good time to talk about a different type of addiction that many avoid talking about but is quickly becoming the "new drug" of this generation: Pornography. 
Some might call that statement over-dramatic yet pornography addiction is real and scientific studies show it can be as harmful, and sometimes even more, as a drug or alcohol addiction.  (Source: Fight the New Drug)

While the viewing of pornography and masturbation has been waved off as a "normal activity to relieve sexual tensions", the science is clear: Pornography use harms boys and girls. and men and women, psychologically, emotionally, and socially. 
"At-risk users, who invest an inordinate amount of finances, energy and time into Internet pornography often suffer psychological ills such as depression, anxiety, and lack of fulfillment." ( Psychology Today )
Statistics show that the use of pornography is on the rise, especially among young people. For some demographics, we can safely say that pornography use is not the exception anymore: it is the norm. (www.covenanteyes.com)
