ISN'T PORN NORMAL?
Pornographers desperately try to take the punch out of porn by labeling it as “normal behavior.”
One porn site launched a marketing campaign with the slogan, “All You Need Is Hand,” which is a spin off the old Beetles song, “All You Need Is Love.” They posted billboards in New York City’s Times Square and even hired a choir to sing the porn slogan!
Some porn companies try to portray themselves as “honorable” businesses. One site attempted to justify porn by giving money to breast cancer, testicular cancer, and environmental charities in exchange for video clicks on their site.
The same site held a $25,000.00 scholarship competition with the description:
“We work hard to help make millions of people feel happy every single day. In turn, we would like to help support the recipient of the [porn company] Scholarship to realize their goal of doing the same!”
The stigma continues to fade as porn is pumped into our homes by the mainstream media.
St. John Paul the Great said, “Young people are threatened... by the evil use of advertising techniques that stimulate the natural inclination to avoid hard work by promising the immediate satisfaction of every desire.” [1]
Lust is easy. Love is not.
Despite the culture’s attempts to normalize pornography, we have to remember the truth: Sex is normal, but watching actors have sex on camera is not.
