Porn is ravaging marriages, because it wrecks the arousal process which harms sex life in marriage. The effects of porn are devastating because it alters the chemistry of the brain.  Porn stimulates the arousal centers in the brain and when orgasm occurs, a chemical reaction happens, hormones are released, and the brain starts to associate arousal with an idea, image or video, rather than a person.

When a person does not watch porn until marriage, the chemicals and hormones are released for the first time in marriage, and they cause an intense sexual bond to the spouse.  Contrarily, many people who have used porn in the past have lost libido. The porn user does not learn to become a good lover, because sex is about self needs, rather than mutual delight.

The arousal and pleasure centers in the brain associate sex with physical pleasure and profound intimacy, but they doesn’t happen with porn.  Sex becomes about the body, and not about intimacy. God made sex to unite and draw us together; He even gave us a bonding hormones released at orgasm, but they are ineffective without a partner.

The way to get a greater pleasure is to watch weirder porn . . .  violent, degrading and ugly. Porn users often have a hard time to show love and affection during sex.  It bonds a person physically, emotionally and spiritually with the spouse, but if porn has ineffectively wired the brain, sex becomes just physical. The porn user has n0t trained his body to please his spouse, because porn programs the body for quick orgasm.

Sex with the spouse becomes hard work, because porn offers immediate gratification, so many porn users retreat into a life of masturbation. Porn has sold them the message: you deserve pleasure when you want it, because your needs are paramount. You become a selfish spouse.

People who think porn is harmless are wrong, because chemical processes in the brain are complex, and when we start messing with them, it is difficult to recover a healthy sexuality.

Porn is Escalating Evil which may cause social woes, such as rape, abortion and divorce. Sexual education in high school, during people formative years, can decrease evil and social woes.
