Porn Stories: The Prelude
I believe in all of the freedoms granted to those who live in this great country. I believe those freedoms extend to everyone, not just those with whom I agree. That being the case, I oppose legislating porn out of existence. That is not the right route to follow. Each time a company contacts me for an interview or to ask my opinions on porn, one of the first things I let them know is that I am against taking away the rights of pornographers.
I feel education is a better answer. We’re not “in a battle” with pornographers, we’re in a battle with ourselves. Those who wish to escape from some sort of attraction or addiction to pornography really need to look inwardly and stop blaming their problem on everyone else. Our problems and addictions will never be conquered if all we do is take away the temptations. I’d rather create a cure, not just treat the symptoms.
Much of the appeal of porn can be taken away be removing the mystery of porn. And thats what I intend to do with my life: educate others. My goal is to share some of the stories of porn production from my past, and in so doing I want to show men and women that the reality of pornography is not nearly as attractive as it’s made out to be. Pornography is not glamorous. The fantasy portrayed on camera doesn’t exist. There is an ugly human cost that is paid to bring this product to market.
In thinking of the best game plan to follow, my biggest problem is deciding how graphic to get with my writings. Many Christians seem to want to focus on pretty pictures. Too much muck and mire bothers them. But to show the true realities of life, sometimes the muck and mire needs to be shown. I’m concerned with the fact that, while most of my readers are adults, I probably have a few who are under the age of 18. In this age of the internet they’ve probably seen it all anyway, but it is still of concern to me.
Despite my concerns, in the very near future I will start a series of stories on the realities of pornography. It may turn your stomach. In fact, I hope it does. Showing the truth behind the myth just might help those of you who wish to lose your attraction to porn. In the very least, it will further open your eyes and make you realize exactly what you support by consuming this product.
In the meantime, please give your opinions as to what my limits should be, either in comments here or via private email. My email address is all over this blog. I’ll seriously consider all feedback.
