HOW TO HELP

For me it is clear. Watching porn (filmed prostitution), and participating first hand in Prostitution is damaging to all parties involved, and really we are all involved.

What can you do? You can begin by boycotting Pornography and Prostitution! Porn is filmed prostitution, a gateway to numbed out disassociated sexual relations that breaks down intimacy between human beings. Pornography is a way of self-medication. But as with all self-medication, effects wear off, and behavior escalates. And, the next thing you know, you are soliciting a Prostitute. You are lucky that you ended up here today because you can change your behavior, and work towards a more fulfilling life.

We know that women, men, children, transgender, and trafficking victims in the sex industry have been traumatized by childhood sexual abuse, rape, and violence. The majority also come from communities and families burdened by poverty. They have often had limited life choices, and are targets for predators, traffickers, pimps, and sex buyers. What we also know, but don’t talk about, is that you-sex buyers have also been traumatized. That’s why you are self-medicating by watching porn and/or seeking prostitutes and avoiding relationships.

What I want each of you to do is a promise to take a look within yourself. Discover the trauma, and bring it to light. Please read and/or watch at least one of the books, TED talks, documentaries, or anti-porn websites I recommended. I wish you all the best in your life journey.
