It's Not Just the Males Hurting After Getting Caught...

How Porn Hurts Everyone

Porn - the act of viewing others screwing to please an audience of either prepubescent males or to an older audience with an addiction to their special places. It is an ever growing industry, with $14 billion in their pockets, it seizes the attention of many males (and some females) away from their own personal lives - even destroying marriages and soon-to-be married couples. It is an industry that does not care if that is your sister or mother, wife or child, it will take your money and run with it.

In my personal views and opinions, I believe that when a man is in a committed relationship with someone, he should stop viewing porn. Not only is it a principle matter, but it is the simple fact that his partner should be enough to satisfy his sexual cravings (not some sleaze who can take three men at once). Especially in marriages, it is even more important as they made sacred vows to one another, to pledge themselves for eternity, and yet we find them going for divorces and splitting families apart due to someone viewing porn in an addictive matter.

I hate the idea of someone I love watching porn, despite it actually happening to me. The one I am going to marry has an addiction, and has been the utmost honest about it. He is struggling, and I can see that in his eyes. Instead of kicking him to the curb, I am doing what I can to help him overcome it - not shame him and leave him for good. Albeit, there are those that cannot or will not leave their porn, who value it over their loved ones - and they do deserve to be kicked to the curb.

Otherwise, if they want help, if they want to change, help them, do not shun them! It makes it worse if you do not offer to hear their side of the story, to offer a hand to help them overcome this addiction. I tried to view it myself, to get an understanding of how and why it was addiction - and I abhorred every second of it. I did well to finish one minute of a video, because it all felt fake, it felt staged (and of course I am aware that it is supposed to be), and it was disgusting to me. I do not want to watch other people under (or in some cases, above) the sheets, much less more than two people doing the deed.

So, if you know someone who views porn and they either are in a relationship with someone or they are with you, do not give up on them! It is just like those who are addicted to drugs or alcohol, they are addicted. They need support in order to do it (you would not want to be alone if you have a problem to take care of) They need help, not hate.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
