It wrecks lives. It hurts others. It destroys self-respect. It's quickly addicting. And the damage isn't limited to those who look for it on purpose.
Pornography grabs many who take a quick look out of curiosity.
It catches others who had no intention of looking at filthy sex, but stumble onto it quite by accident. Some pornography sites are even given harmless sounding names to trick innocent children and others into seeing their filth. Unscrupulous operators also change site names, open new ones, and avoid certain words in their material to avoid being detected and blocked by Internet safety software. Sexual predators also prowl the Internet, making friends with kids in electronic pen-pal meeting places called chat rooms and newsgroups . After sexual exchanges on the Internet, which is bad enough, sometimes these Internet predators even arrange to meet their victims, and may even travel long distances to consummate sex.
