Will Porn Really Affect My Children?

We live in a sexualized world. Whether we’re scrolling through our news feed, perusing online products, or walking around the disappearing storefronts of the local mall, sex is everywhere.

In case anyone tries to convince you this is a new era, remember that humans have lived in a sexualized world for a long time. In the Old Testament we read a horrifying story of desired sodomy, abuse, and rape, all within one chapter (Judges 19). We read about Kings who took women as prizes and objects of lust. We read of women who sold their bodies or slept around. We read of extreme sexual sin and shame from cover to cover. Both the Old and New Testament are filled with examples of husbands who used and abused women, and people who lived lives of unfaithfulness, cheating, exploitation, and sexual sin.
