Pornography has a way of distorting our view of sexuality to the point that what was once obviously wrong and twisted (or considered abuse by the law) has now become arousing, our little secret, or what we begin to crave as though there will be no real consequence. This is shown in many scenes or genres of porn, one being a girl with her teacher or a girl and her stepfather. Regardless of the pathetic assertion that pornography is merely entertainment, how do you suppose this affects the children, adolescents, or pedophiles who happen to find this material?
If a child is being abused at home (first being prepared through the parent or guardian's showing of pornography - and with it, harder and more degrading material over time), how do you suppose seeing pornographic films like this will affect them? It will harm their view of what is right and wrong. They will feel confused as to why they feel fear and shame when the movies they see portray similar acts to what they are experiencing at home as though the child or teenager enjoys it; even smiling as if the step father's playful command of, "This will be our little secret" is just fun. What the film doesn't show is how this short-lived pleasure will affect the parents marriage, infuriate the mother and could lead to immediate divorce, and has broken the law with the possible consequence of years in prison, a total loss of reputation & the respect or trust of others. It doesn't show the nightmares that child will begin having within time. It doesn't show hours of therapy sessions filled with tears, bitterness and anger. It doesn't show the perpetrator's remorse or mindset. It doesn't show the feelings of uncleanness that child will feel when they grow older and meet the person they will marry (debating whether they should confess that their virginity was lost by their sexual history with a family member--which the victim now understands was abuse). ... And by the way, the participants in porn films briefly stating at the end of the video(s) that they are only acting while smiling as they go on to say how such behavior is wrong in real life will not suffice, repair the damage that has been done through the influence it could have had on the viewers, or correct the poisonous ideas it spread.
