Let’s get one thing straight. This is a judgement free zone. I just want to lay out some statistics and implications. 40 million U.S. adults regularly visit internet pornography websites. 40 million adults in the U.S. like to go solo sometimes, who cares? Well, pornography consumption does not live in a vacuum. We’ve all heard the studies- regular porn watching does things to your brain and can effects your relationship with your significant other.
But let’s zoom out and look at a bigger picture. The production and participation of pornography is sex work. Because of this, when consuming pornography it is important to note your role in this industry. The truth of the matter is that pornography creates a market for women and children to be exploited and human and sex trafficking is there to fill that demand. People, especially young people, will be lured in by the promise of easy money, but then find themselves in a never-ending cycle fueled by threats towards their family and endless abuse.
Conscious consumption is so important. Again, pornography does not live in a vacuum, and what someone in Ozark, Missouri is consuming regularly can be negatively impacting someone in another country all together. We are making an effort to be conscious consumers when it comes to goods such as food, water, and necessities, so let’s become conscious consumers in the entertainment that we consume.
