Porn Damages the Physical and Mental Health of Girls and Young Women



Telus, a major telephone company, announced recently that it was going to sell to its cell phone subscribers. If it had proceeded, it would be the first in North America. There was a huge backlash and they canceled their plan. Other big telephone companies quickly distanced themselves from any move to sell to their cell phone customers.

Regardless of their rationale for backpedaling, Telus did the right thing.

A task force of the American Psychological Association (APA) released a major report called “The Sexualization of Girls” on February 19. They reported wide evidence that the proliferation in media and advertising of sexualized images of young women and girls is harmful to girls’ self-image and healthy development. It’s damaging to the physical health of our children. It’s damaging to their mental health.

A woman is sexually objectified, that is, made into a thing for another’s sexual use, when her value is portrayed as coming only from her sexual appeal or behavior. Pornography carries this to the extreme.

The sexualization of girls and women, already widespread, is increasing in the “new media.” The new media include the internet and all the new hand-held display devices, including cell phones. Read more @ Dr.NeillNeill.com

OSA Editorial Comments:

I meet Dr. Neill Neill through a coaching program that we both belong to, and we have a been good friends ever since. He has a very special way of presenting a topic and giving solutions for mental health problems. And, on this subject he has opened my eyes to a grave situation that is probably more of an epidemic than we realize.

We should do every thing possible to help our children especially our young women and not to take for granted that our kids would not do something like this. Because, your child’s innocence is not for sale and you make it worthless, if you don’t explain why they would not want to behave in such a manner.
