Tragically millions of under-aged and impressionable children are among that 40 million. Before the internet came on the scene the average age of those exposed to pornography as 12 years old. Some researchers say the average age is now 8 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>II.

Any attempts to legislate the matter yields screens from porn purveyors about freedom of the press and freedom of speech. But really, “it’s all about the Benjamins,” as the kids say. Money, not civil liberties, is driving this industry. Each year, the US porn industry takes in 52.8 billion dollars.

Ahora suponga que llega a un país donde puede llenar un teatro simplemente llevando un plato cubierto al escenario y luego levantando lentamente la tapa para que todos vean, justo antes de que se apaguen las luces, que contenía una chuleta de cordero o un poco de tocino, ¿no cree que en ese país algo habría salido mal con el apetito por la comida? ¿Y nadie que creció en un mundo diferente pensaría que hay algo igualmente extraño sobre el estado del instinto sexual entre nosotros? ”- CS Lewis, Mere Christianity\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>I. Algunas estadísticas\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Hoy, más de 200 millones de estadounidenses tienen acceso a internet. Un estudio de investigación reveló que 40 millones de adultos en los Estados Unidos, es decir, casi 1\u002F5 de todos los estadounidenses con acceso a Internet, constantemente están viendo pornografía basada en la web. Trágicamente, millones de niños menores de edad e impresionables se encuentran entre esos 40 millones. Antes de que apareciera el Internet, la edad promedio de las personas expuestas a la pornografía era de 12 años. Algunos investigadores dicen que la edad promedio es ahora de 8 años.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>II Acceso infantil a la pornografía\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>¿El Internet trae imágenes sexuales gráficas. . . directamente a los hogares, y a los pornógrafos no les importa que los niños tengan acceso [a la pornografía]? Sí. Por eso es un gran negocio. Cualquier intento de legislar el asunto genera pantallas de proveedores de pornografía sobre la libertad de prensa y la libertad de expresión. Pero en realidad, \"se trata de los Benjamins\", como dicen los niños. El dinero, no las libertades civiles, es lo que está impulsando esta industria. Cada año, la industria del porno en los EE. UU. Recibe 52.800 millones de dólares. Eso hace que los ingresos de la industria del porno sean más que los ingresos combinados de Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Netflix e incluso EarthLink.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>III. El impacto del porno en la familia\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Una breve estadística: casi el 50% de todos los problemas de relación familiar están relacionados con el uso de Internet. Las relaciones de la vida real se intercambian por las largas horas de fantasía derivadas de la computadora, dejando a los cónyuges e hijos sintiéndose descuidados y sin importancia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El costo de la pornografía en los niños: es fácil para los niños explorar Internet durante largos períodos de tiempo y sin que nadie lo sepa. El 42% de los usuarios de Internet entre las edades de 10 y 17 años informaron haber visto pornografía en línea en los últimos 12 meses. Nuestra visión de la vida se desarrolla a partir de los modelos a los que estamos expuestos, particularmente a edades tempranas. Interiorizamos lo que vemos y oímos y, en base a las conclusiones que sacamos, nuestra identidad se conforma.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Entonces, ¿considera cómo ver esas imágenes afecta la visión que los niños y niñas tienen de sí mismos, de sí mismos y del mundo en general?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>¿Cómo se define el valor de una persona? ¿Qué buscarán los niños en una interrelación de con otra persona?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La dinámica de cómo los individuos funcionan y se relacionan entre sí está permanentemente distorsionada por la percepción temprana de los individuos como objetos sexuales, en lugar de personas completas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Peligros de la exposición breve a la pornografía: estas imágenes no solo son poderosas, sino que también son altamente adictivas. La adicción afecta principalmente a hombres, pero las mujeres también son adictas tanto al ciber-porno como al ciber-sexo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Cómo saber si eres adicto a la pornografía: hay varios inventarios disponibles en línea. Tomar uno de esos es usar Internet de manera saludable. En general, la adicción significa que sigues haciendo algo a pesar de las consecuencias negativas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Algunos indicadores de adicción incluyen: Pasar una cantidad de tiempo cada vez mayor viendo sitios pornográficos en Internet, discusiones sexuales en línea y la cantidad de tiempo dedicado de esa manera interfiere con las responsabilidades y las relaciones. Tal persona intentará ocultar sus hábitos de ver pornografía. Pueden minimizar y racionalizar su comportamiento. Otros en sus vidas pueden haber expresado preocupación por su comportamiento. Incluso puede sentirse mal o culpable por su comportamiento.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>No creas que puedes parar por tu cuenta. Muchos adictos han tratado de detener o reducir su comportamiento, pero fracasaron.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La naturaleza de la adicción a la pornografía: la adicción ocurre tanto en el cerebro como en el alma. \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Adicción en el cerebro: el cerebro tiene una sustancia química de placer llamada dopamina. Ver imágenes sexuales provoca una liberación de grandes cantidades de dopamina y esto crea un placer intenso. Con la visualización continua, el cerebro se acostumbra a esta liberación y exige más y más dopamina. \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Adicción en el Alma: La adicción ocurre porque todos anhelamos que algo nos satisfaga y las imágenes sexuales. . . nos dan una sensación de validación y satisfacción. Podemos perseguir nuestras pasiones más bajas en el anonimato del ciberespacio.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>VII. Posible caída de ser adicto a la pornografía\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La adicción también es una forma de infidelidad mental y emocional que desgarra los matrimonios. El impacto sobre el cónyuge fiel es tan devastador como si la persona tuviera una aventura física.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>VIII Cómo prevenir o detener la adicción a la pornografía\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Intervenir lo antes posible. Instale software en su computadora que bloquee los sitios web pornográficos. La asesoría psicológica puede ayudar a las personas y parejas que desean superar la adicción y el daño causado. Existen numerosos grupos de apoyo orientados a ayudar a las personas adictas. El Internet puede ser más una bendición que una maldición. . . así que no condenemos a internet. Sin embargo, si todas las otras intervenciones fallan, entonces el usuario descontrolado de ciber porno puede necesitar deshacerse de su computadora hasta que se solucione la adicción y puedan controlar su comportamiento.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>IX. Donde comienza el problema de la pornografía (y termina)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El problema yace debajo: las personas siempre han buscado algo que sienten que falta porque Dios nos diseñó con esa conciencia. Entonces, el hombre llena su vida con sus propias creaciones: pasatiempos, carrera, tecnología, posesiones e incluso buenas obras, pero ninguna de ellas trae paz por mucho tiempo. Separados de Dios, siempre seremos conscientes de nuestro vacío. Así, idearemos formas de llenarlo sin éxito.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Solución final: Dios quiere que nuestra conciencia de nuestra necesidad nos atraiga de regreso a Él. Finalmente, solo Dios tiene la pieza que falta para nuestras almas y sus profundas satisfacciones. No necesitamos culparnos a nosotros mismos por el hambre, necesitamos hambre por el que realmente satisface. El porno cibernético y el sexo cibernético nos dejan aún más vacíos porque Dios nos hizo como seres sexuales para que podamos conectarnos con nuestra pareja de toda la vida en la intimidad sexual destinada solo al matrimonio. . . dado por Dios para unir a un esposo y una esposa como uno solo. Satisfacer los deseos sexuales fuera de esta unión intencionada por Dios solo nos hace recordar lo solos que realmente estamos. El sexo cibernético y el porno cibernético mejoran esa soledad. Con la ayuda del Espíritu Santo, los cristianos pueden conquistar [la pornografía].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Escrituras clave:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>2 Corintios 3:17\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nPornography is a big business.
