Pornography vs Natural Law

SHANNON KAISER

Natural

Define Natural and its purpose

Effects of Pornography

People who dont viewanyporn havelowerlevels of negative


communication, are more committed to the relationship, and have
higher sexual satisfaction and relationship adjustment.

Their rate of infidelity is alsoat least halfof those who have watched
sexual material aloneorwith their partners.

Researchers claim that pornography causes unequivocal harm to


society by increasing rates ofsexual assault.

Men in prison who had committed rape against prepubescent children,


the rapes came after a "habitual" consumption of child porn "within six
months," although the men were previously "horrified at the idea"

Effects of Pornography

According to a 2006 Internet Filter Review*, "Every second, $3,075.64 is being spent
on pornography, 28,258 Internet viewers are viewing pornography, 372 Internet
users are typing adult search terms into search engines, and every 39 minutes, a
new pornographic video is made in the United States.

Pornography addiction is an escalating one. For example, someone addicted to


pornography quickly becomes unsatisfied with standard adult porn. They may
start to seek out porn featuring younger and younger child subjects, or even porn
that involves violence. Eventually, when the pictures and videos are not enough,
they want a real child victim, or they start acting violent towards their sex partners,
to experience what they're seeing for themselves.

A recent example of this is Jared Fogle, former subway spokesperson. Within his sentencing
on 19-Nov-2015 he mentioned how he had an extensive porn collection. Spending $12,000
a year on Prostitutes. Working with other pedophile just fueled his addiction even more.

Effects of Pornography

Children and adults who are trafficked are forced to participate in


pornographic films. They are threatened with violence if they do not
participate and rarely get paid to take part in pornography.

Children are being filmed in pornographic movies more often, thus more
viewers are being exposed to child pornography. This creates a higher
demand for it to be produced, and it also creates an insensitivity to the
fact that young children and young adults are being forced to perform
sexual acts.

Natural Law vs Pornography

Here you would add that based on the effects of pornography there is
no way that pornography fits into natural law. It contradicts everything
natural law is supposed to stand for.
