But something began happening to Rani. She felt guilty. She felt cut off from the real world. She felt dirty and trapped. She found herself stuck in a fantasy world. The Dangers of Pornography Porn refers to any image, description, or video of nakedness or sexual activity that is made and viewed for the purpose of stirring up inappropriate sexual arousal and behavior. Porn is big business round the world. In America, it pulls in more money than professional football and baseball—the biggest sports there— combined. There are more adult bookstores and other outlets for hardcore porn than MacDonald’s outlets. India is currently ranked fifth in the world for the number of users of internet pornography. About half of these people use their smartphones to access pornographic sites. So why is porn bad? Porn affects people’s attitudes towards sex. It cheapens sex by taking it out of marriage. It promotes a casual and unrealistic view of sex that completely ignores the threat of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Watching porn exposes you to the lie that sex is impersonal, and that you can have it at any time with anyone, without any consequences. Society, marital relationships, and individual users all suffer the terrible effects of pornography.
