In Some Men Pornography Brings Out the Darkest Evil
We have seen that under the "narrowing" influence of pornography, men momentarily forfeit their reasoning and judgment. As a result, they do stupid things that bring shame, embarrassment, broken marriages, scarred families, ruined careers and lost opportunities.
Many of these men could have made significantly greater contributions of love and service to those around them and to the world, if they had not spent so much time trapped in their own "narrow world" of pornography.
But porn's ability to make men do stupid things is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The industry, with the Internet as its primary ally, is now leading more and more men and women, teens and children down a dark and sinister path. It is seducing them to become part of a world where innocent bystanders bear the hellish, hideous impact of pornography's progeny.
In his work Pornography's Effects on Adults & Children, clinical psychologist Dr. Victor Cline reports:
In research conducted by Dr. W. Marshall, almost half of the rapists that he studied used pornography depicting consenting sex to arouse themselves preparatory to seeking out a victim to rape. Another investigator, Dr. M. J. Goldstein, found that far more of the sex offenders than the non-offenders he studied wished to, and often did, emulate the acts they saw depicted in pornography.
In still another study, most of Dr. E.G. Abel's sex offenders said that pornography increased their appetites for deviant activities (and these were the men who reported the least control over their deviant activities). Other investigators have reported that rapists and child molesters use pornographic materials fully, both immediately prior to their crimes and during the actual assaults.
Still another type of evidence comes from a study conducted by Darrell Pope, a former Michigan State police officer, who found that of 38,000 cases of sexual assault on file in Michigan, 41% involved pornography exposure just prior to the act or during the act.
Porn users don't live in a vacuum; they live among people, real, living, breathing people: spouses, children, neighbors, co-workers. Any or all of these can be hurt when a porn addict spins out of control.
Copycat Crime
People imitate what they have seen in pornographic images. Dr. Judith Reisman calls this type of acting out copycat crime. Based on what we know about cellular memories and the mindbody using these memories to bring about our desires for a peak experience, this makes perfect sense.
If a man or teenage boy has been masturbating while viewing porn, the images he sees are linked by the mindbody as the way to arrive at the highly desirable peak experience of orgasm. The mindbody links these images with pleasure, release, arousal and climax. And what are these images? In their obsession to capture as many viewers as possible, to appeal to every fetish and appetite, no matter how twisted or deviate, Internet pornographers display an incredible variety of images-from the traditional pin-up girl to the bizarre, depraved, debauched and vile; sexual images mixed with traditional fantasy, but also co-mingled with images of children, animals, rape, torture, murder, expectant mothers, and many other shocking connections.
Do you recall that the mindbody does not distinguish between reality and fantasy when it comes to material that is highly erotic, violent or shocking? When men look at Internet porn photographs, videos and live transmissions, their mindbody accepts the images as reality.
An Internet site shows girl-like women dressed in Girl Scout uniforms being raped; a few weeks later a local newspaper reports the brutal rape of a girl scout while selling cookies door-to-door. After viewing a graphic video on the Internet portraying little girls in their school uniforms, a porn addict kidnaps, rapes, tortures, mutilates and murders two children in their Catholic schoolgirl uniforms. Mere coincidence? Sound too far-fetched? These are actual cases! They are only two of the thousands of such copycat crimes committed by porn addicts each year.
Taking into account the litany of sexual perversions linked to acts of violence that can be accessed on the Internet, can you begin to understand the source of grizzly sex-murders, tortures and mutilations occurring with increasing frequency around the world?
In the past, the most extreme examples of porn-related copycat crime were men like Ted Bundy and Gary Bishop. With the Internet now exposing tens of millions of men and teens to pornography day in and day out, in what direction and magnitude will the number of copycat crimes committed against innocent women and children go?
