Pornography is an aquired taste
Enjoying pornography starts off through casual curiosity and then escalates towards
hard-core pornography. Once a person's early curiosity is satisfied, then an interest in
more extreme images becomes desirable. This escalating pattern continues up through
behavior which acts out on others.
Hard-Core Pornography, (Obscenity)
 | May depict women bound in ropes or chains and then brutally raped and tortured. |
| Often depicts group sex, bestiality, and other bizarre sex acts, both heterosexual and
homosexual. |
| Fuels fantasies that re often acted out on women and children. |
| Is frequently used as a lure by adults to break down the inhibitions of children,
enticing them into sexual acts. |
Child Pornography
| Shows children engaged in sexual acts with adults, with other children, and with
animals. |
| Is actual child sexual abuse on film, or any other media. |
| Exists for the child molester and is used by molesters as a teaching tool to show
children how to engage in all manner of sexual acts. |
| Is a permanent record of the child's abuse. |
| Does incredible harm to the child, both physically and psychologically. |
Some Facts!
| A study conducted by Michigan State Police showed that of 38,000 sexual assault cases,
41% involved pornography "just prior to or during the act." |
| Children re molesting other children. In Oklahoma, seven boys gang raped a 15 year-old
girl and forced her to engage in unnatural sexual acts. Four confessed that viewing
pornography inspired the rape. |
Obscenity (hard-core pornography) is illegal and is not protected by the First
Amendment.
| This was reaffirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 in Miller v. California. The
effort to eliminate hard-core pornography is not censorship. Upholding the federal and
state laws prohibiting obscenity is everyone's right in a democratic society. |
