Red Alert: 50 Shades of Porn (part 1)

We live in a society where pornography is easily accessible, viewed as harmless, and sometimes even considered liberating. However, pornography is damaging not just to marriages, families, and individuals, but also to your brain and decision-making processes. A study completed by Dr. David Greenfield, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University Of Connecticut School Of Medicine showed that viewing pornography shuts off the part of the brain controlling personal decisions making in relation to morals and values. 

This research is being discussed as a new movie, '50 Shades of Grey', is about to be released. There is a lot of hype about '50 Shades of Grey'-- a movie where there are sexually explicit scenes, openness to harmful sexual exploration, and pornography. The fear is that this particular movie, which was first a book selling millions of copies, could potentially open up a new generation to the acceptance of damaging sexual images through pornography and other dangerous sexual practices. The movie centers on a young woman, who is a virgin, and meets a very successful entrepreneur who takes advantage of her sexual inexperience and opens her up to a world of bondage/discipline/sadism/masochism (BDSM), sexual submission, and pornography.

The movie glamorizes and hypes the idea of these new sexual experiences. However, the movie does not discuss the following information:

• 40 million men who view pornography regularly are less likely to get married, and actually shut off the decision making portion of their brain relating to morals and values while viewing pornography.
• Viewing pornography is associated with lower sexual satisfaction in married relationships.
• The psychological effects of being beaten for someone's sexual pleasure.
• Men and women deserve monogamous marital commitment when engaging in sexual activity. When couples are not committed, there can be emotional damage and hurt involved, especially if children are a result of the relationship.
• Sexual submission, bondage, pornography, and BDSM can have damaging effects, not just on the person(s) participating, but the families who are subject to these practices.

The movie would be a lot different if the Hollywood glamor and controversy was taken out of the equation. If this movie portrayed the real ramifications of this behavior, it would look more like a devastating documentary than a twisted love story. Do not allow your children, family, or spouses to see this movie and to perpetuate the notion that this is entertainment. These ideals are damaging to their psyche, as well as to their emotions.
