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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
