I can't believe that the school system has the audacity to teach morality to our kids! This should be taught in the home, where it can be discussed in the confines of an appropriate moral context. Just another attempt by the government to usurp power from the family!

In response this book, a friend of mine posted this this morning, and it's really an extraordinarily good thought.

This book shows -- among many other fascinating things -- that the pornography that appeals to heterosexual men is statistically identical to the pornography that appeals to homosexual men. That is to say, whether it's the content of the films, or searches for them online, the only statistically significant difference between heterosxual and homosexual pornography is the different genders of the actors. What is on display in each, then, is unfettered male desire in fantasy -- in one case directed toward women, in the other toward men.
Feminist critics of the pornography aimed at heterosexual men who claim that it degrades women should therefore revise the claim to say instead that it does so no more than the pornography aimed at homosexual men degrades men. Recognizing this, some may desist from their criticism of pornography altogether. But if others persist, they can do so in alliance with its Christian opponents, who have always been explicit about the target of their criticism: unfettered sexual desire in fantasy.
Yet if feminists wish to dissociate themselves from that Christian critique, then their target cannot be unfettered sexual desire in fantasy, but more specificallly unfettered *male* desire in fantasy. Perhaps they will be able to explain why the sexual desire of one gender, rather than the other, should be the target of special critique; why the desire of men, in particular, should be fettered in fantasy. If they cannot provide that explanation, however, they will substantiate their own critics' persistent charges that what they oppose, reallly, is not pornography but male desire.

So punography is part of the educational curriculum in Utah now...

Pornography Education Pilot Project Launches in Taylorsville

Students at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville got an unusual lesson Monday. The children heard a presentation about pornography. The assembly is part of a pilot project organized by Salt Lake County to educate kids and parents about the dangers of what some are calling the “new drug.”


Junior high students in Utah are not used to hearing about pornography in school. When Eisenhower’s principal announced the topic, the students began talking nervously amongst themselves. But when Clay Olsen, founder of the non-profit Fight the New Drug, came on stage, he had their attention.


Through stories, videos, and graphics, Olsen explained that pornography can be addictive, and that it harms relationships and society in general. Olsen told KUER that because of the taboo nature of the topic, children don’t get enough information about it. And the world has changed since their parents were children.

I guess this is for the students that don't get enough punography talk in release-time seminary.

That excerpt is amusing. I have a distant recollection of my world view when I was that age. You know how much the ideas of harming relationships and society in general mattered to me back then? I cared about them about as much as Soonercoug cares about his Sunday school attendance record right now.

Wow. Had to go to the third page to find this thread. We're slacking.

It's been awhile since we've had some good grocer check-out punography stories. http://www.sltrib.com/news/1903492-1...i-porn-options

From the lady's blog:

For many months I have known that there needs to be something done by me, by us, by our youth, by our men, –by somebody –to combat some of the challenges that have become common place for all of us to encounter in the form of improper representation of women. That case was brought to my immediate attention when my then seven year old told me how uncomfortable magazines made him because of how poorly they portrayed women in so many places. I have had had many conversations with my son since then, and I have become increasingly aware of how inappropriate magazine covers are affecting our children. Often times it is easy for us to turn a blind eye, but it is becoming more and more challenging to do so. Soft pornography is now common place just about every place.

The kid shouldn't have a problem these days, photoshopping takes care of these issues.

The above story took me to this story: http://www.ldsliving.com/story/77369...graphy-problem

After a quick perusal of the comment section, which I always recommend for LDS Living articles, produced this gem:

This one is right up my alley! I was addicted to pornography for 48 years. I was sexually abused for several years by three siblings who were into porn. I was introduced to it at age six and was addicted by age seven. I developed a horribly twisted view of women. They were nothing more than an object that had about as much use as a toilet: both were used to satisfy a physical desire. To say that this addiction ruined my life would be the classic British understatement. I was horribly depressed, beyond backwards and if you were to look up the word “loner” in the dictionary, you would see my picture. Unfortunately, I went on a mission still addiction, although I refrained during my mission. I married my first wife without telling her anything. That marriage lasted four years. My second marriage lasted six years and my third marriage lasted twenty. All during that time, I relapsed for a few weeks than fought it again. It continued like this my entire life. It was like something inside me kept driving me on to keep looking. No matter how hard I tried, I knew that eventually I would give in. That something inside me kept up the pressure and like a bad horror movie, I would give in to the monster. It wasn’t until I met my eternal companion that I finally discovered what it was inside me that kept driving me to look at porn. Within a month of being married, my wife discerned that I was possessed by an unclean spirit. She told me this and I told her she was certifiably crazy. I knew that someone who was possessed would be levitating off the floor, or their head spinning around or projectile vomiting – something crazy like that. I was wrong. A year after we were married, I relapsed, but this time, I knew something had to change. I went and told my wife everything, then went to my bishop and told him everything. I also told him that my wife suspected I was possessed by an unclean spirit and I wanted him to cast it out. He gave me a blessing and commanded any unclean spirits to leave. When he said, “In the name of Jesus Christ,” I suddenly felt as if there were an angry beehive inside my body. This horrible buzzing sensation permeated my and then was suddenly expelled from my body. I felt the unclean spirits leave me. When the bishop was done with the blessing, I jumped up and told him I felt them leave. He told me he heard them leave. He heard a whooshing sound as they left. I have never been the same since. The compulsions that were driving me to look were gone. I was left with some pretty bad habits, but I was able to overcome them. It has been two years since then. I have never relapsed and I have had a mighty change of heart. I am disgusted by porn and I even have trouble being around immodestly dressed women. If you have compulsions, go to your bishop and get a blessing. If I can beat this addiction after 48 years, anyone can do it.

Seems like an inspiring story about the power of the priesthood overcoming the influence of the devil. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. That was great.

Didn't the read the whole thing. Does he ever clarify what physical desire he used a toilet to satisfy?

Jay, you absolutely have to read it to the end. In fact, skip to the last part.
