For Children, it introduces them to a world for which they are not yet ready to handle.  They are forced to deal with issues they cannot understand.  It robs them of their innocence. For teens and young adults, it leads to a warped sense of love, relationships and sexuality. They come to believe it is okay to use another person for their own sexual pleasure. It fosters a culture of narcissism. Pornography has serious implications for marriages too.  It damages the sacred trust between husband and wife, which is often difficult to repair and can lead to divorce. Husbands who use pornography lose the respect of their wives and children.  They cannot be good role models.  Wives are traumatized by it.
