EFFECTS OF PORNOGRAPHY ON MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY
Impact on Individuals
The following effects are viewed as having the most bearing on
marital and family relationships:
1. Distorted perceptions and beliefs about relationships and sexuality.
2. Devaluation of marriage, monogamy, and child rearing.
3. Increased aggression and the trivialization of criminal behavior (e.g., rape).
4. Increased risk for sexual deviancy, sexual perpetration, experiencing negative intimate relationships, and accepting rape myths (e.g., believing rape isn’t a serious crime or assigning responsibility to the victim).
Impact on Marital Relationships
The following effects of Internet pornography consumption are viewed as having the most bearing on marital relationships:
1. Internet pornography consumption threatens the economic, emotional, and relational stability of marriages and families.
2. Qualitative and quantitative research shows that pornography consumption, including cybersex, is significantly associated with decreased sexual satisfaction and sexual intimacy in couples.
3. Men and women perceive online sexual activity as an act of betrayal that is as authentic and real as offline infidelity.
4. In light of the social science data regarding healthy, stable marriages, Internet pornography consumption in a growing number of relationships may be considered incompatible with the characteristics of stable, healthy marriages; a relationship that benefits the social good.
Indirect Impact on Children and Adolescents
The following effects are considered to have the most impact on children who live in a home where pornography use occurs:
1. Internet pornography consumption by a parent threatens a child’s well-being by undermining the stability of the marital and family relationships, and increasing the child’s risk of exposure to sexually explicit content and/or behavior.
2. The disclosure or discovery of problematic sexual behavior often necessitates the need for sexual dialogue prior to the parent and/or child being ready.
Direct Impact on Children and Adolescents
The following effect are considered to have the most impact on children and adolescents who use or encounter pornography themselves:
1. In spite of the illegalities, youth have easy access to pornographic material and this can have traumatic, distorting, abusive, and/or addictive effects.
2. Youth are commonly being solicited, tricked, misled, or “mouse trapped” into viewing sexually explicit content online.
3. Research shows that exposure to pornography can make a lasting impression in young people and that this impression is most often described using emotions such as disgust, shock, embarrassment, anger, fear, and sadness.
4. The consumption of Internet pornography and/or involvement in sexualized chat can harm the social and sexual development of youth and undermine their success in future relationships.
5. Pornography consumption in youth has been associated with earlier onset of sexual intercourse, as well as increased likelihood of engaging in anal sex and sexual relations with people they are not romantically engaged with."
