Pornography is the presentation of sexual material in its rawest and most debased form and is meant to inflame the passions of the carnal man and woman. It is highly addictive and destructive in a multitude of ways, affecting not only the character and biology of the individual who indulges in it, but marriages, families, and societies.
Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints constantly counsel both youth and adults against the dangers of pornography (see links below) and promote ways to help those who are addicted overcome their habits, repent, and reconcile with God.
A recent study by the Family Research Council [1] cites the effects of pornography. The study defines pornography as follows:
- Pornography is a visual representation of sexuality which distorts an individual's concept of the nature of conjugal relations.
- Pornography alters both sexual attitudes and behavior.
