Someone described the teen years as "Emotions! Emotions! Emotions!" Adolescents, by nature, are impressionable and confused. They've entered a point in their development where they question who they are and what they want. Easy access to porn creates a mine field that many young people do not make it safely across. They secretly view it on computers and Internet-surfing cell phones with text messaging codes to warn when a parent is close by.
From my thirty years of experience sharing God's beautiful sexual truths, I believe that young people, who succomb to porn and hookup relationships, are creating more sexual hangups for themselves than their grandparents suffered from under the influence of Victorian morals.
Young Boys Susceptible to Internet Porn
When taught frank sexual material, high-school boys often ask, "Why didn't someone tell us these things when we were in junior high before we developed these bad habits that require lots of work to overcome?" This question is often asked of Oscar Miles, who frequently teaches at teen retreats. His surveys of boys in his sessions, whose parents are Christians, show:
9-10th graders (age 14-16)
- 20% Never viewed Internet porn
- 33% Viewed on accident
- 47% Viewed on purpose
- 20% Still viewing occasionally or somewhat regularly
- 13% Admitted viewing homosexual porn on the Internet
11-12th graders (age 16-19)
- 100% Viewed Internet porn ON PURPOSE
- 67% Still viewing occasionally or somewhat regularly
- 22% Viewing it "somewhat regularly"
- 22% Admitted to viewing homosexual porn
- 11% Admitted to having interest in homosexual porn
He recommends parents go to www.wisechoice.net/porn-statistics to read “Warning over children who abuse” by Nick Triggle to see what Christians are facing with their young people. The damage done by instant Internet porn is much worse than any of us can imagine.
Porn for Women Promoted in Mainstream Magazines
Porn now also seduces women. When I started teaching marriage classes, many of the ladies' magazines encouraged women to commit mental adultery by wearing seductive clothing on trips and then fantasizing about the man sitting next to them on the plane. Now, thirty years later, the July 2007 Oprah Magazine contains an article "Eyes Wide Open: What kind of woman watches porn" by Violet Blue, a professional porn reviewer and author of Smart Girl's Guide to Porn. She talked about how both the heterosexual and lesbian porn markets are growing for women:
When researchers at Northwestern University showed gay, lesbian, and straight porn to heterosexual and homosexual women and men, they found that while the men responded more intensely to porn that mirrored their particular gender orientation, the women tended to like it all. (pp. 186-187)
Blue recommended several DVDs for women to watch. Sadly, porn for women has now entered mainstream publications.
Young Men Rival Solomon's Use of Women
At a recent writers' conference, in one of the workshops, the speaker went around the room and asked everyone to tell what they were working on. I told how I was working on the Song of Solomon analyzing that Solomon's 1000 wives divided by his 40-year reign, meant he went through an average of 25 women per year. This translates to only 2 weeks spent on each wife from courtship, to marriage, to consummation. Solomon’s 3-day whirlwind romance of the young Shulammite maiden in the Song of Solomon supports this timetable. This also shows why Solomon didn’t work at building an emotional bond with the young woman--he viewed her simply as a sexual toy to be used until the next lovely body caught his attention.
While everyone else in the group gasped, the lady next to me spoke up. The CEO of Planned Parenthood, she said, “I can believe it, because young men are going through that many partners now.” She added, “We now know that this early sexual activity does damage to the brain that affects the individuals for the rest of their lives.”
