Hazards Poster 8x11

Pornography use can potentially cause several problems in multiple areas of life. These include social isolation through withdrawing from others and developing secret lives, sexual problems like losing interest in partners and difficulty with arousal without porn, mood disorders such as feeling irritable, angry and depressed, and self-loathing involving loss of integrity and damaged self-esteem. Porn use may also lead to sexually objectifying others, neglecting important life areas, engaging in risky behaviors, damaging intimate relationships, and developing an addiction to porn through craving it intensely and being unable to stop despite negative consequences.
