PORNOGRAPHY
What we allow to pass through our eyes and
from the eyes into our minds has everything to do with who we will turn out to
be and how we will behave. Ted Bundy, a rapist and a serial killer facing a
death sentence for his heinous crimes revealed his dark secrets in a death row
interview in 1989. His confession stunned and continues to stun the world. His
interview was televised on CNN a few days before his death.
Pornography overloads the brain with large
quantities of excitatory stimuli which causes an imbalance of the body's
neurochemistry. Neuropsychologist A.R. Luria explains that the brain obeys a
'Law of strength'. The more exciting, threatening, horrifying, arousing or
stimulating an image is, the more quickly it will be let through by the
reticular formation and stored in the brain, along with the emotions and
beliefs associated with that image. For this reason therefore, pornography
receives deeper access to the recesses of our brain because of their unusual exciting
nature. This is why pornography can have a deep and lasting impact on the human
brain altering its structure and function, this can cause many people to
struggle for years to free themselves.
By and large, pornography desensitizes people
and make them less inhibited. Women who tend to expose what is private have
lost a healthy function of the brain because as Richard Resark (1988) put
it, inhibition rather than excitation is
the hallmark of a healthy brain.
Never was, pornography is addictive, each
pornographic experience becomes a stored memory and begins to realign the
neurological pathways of the brain. Over time this process restructures the
brain's neurological connections and actually changes the way you think and
act.
In general, it
is important to understand the great qualities of manhood: self control,
integrity and treating women with respect. Real manhood and womanhood involve
self-denial. To react with repulsion in the face of pornography indicates inner
beauty and strength. Enjoy!
