Surrounding us are sex videos and photos for sale. Pirated or not. People joined this kind of business since it is the kind of what is in demand in today's society. There are hotels with movie systems that would cater to the needs of people who would want to see an adult film. But what we do not know is that pornography can also cause a lot of bad effects in the society.
One good example are those sex video scandals taken illegally. These videos are obviously taken without the consent of one party or both parties. They are merely taken for pleasure and then sold out in the market for money. These videos violate the rights of those people who are concerned. Especially the rights of the woman/women involved in the act. This would create a stigma on her. And she'll be carrying that stigma until she dies. People would always see her differently and they might even judge her even if they aren't aware of her real reasons are. They would see her as someone who is an image of something which is very negative. These people who are influenced by their urge should be controlled. They should be punished if they deserve it. Otherwise, they will continue these bad deeds and stain/destroy the lives of a lot of women in the society.
A lot of crimes have also been committed in relation to these pornographic materials. Rape and acts of lasciviousness are just some of them. People who can't control their urge because pornographic films are what they always see in televisions and in movies. Young kids would also get very curious and would sometimes result to doing something bad or they would engage into premarital sex to satisfy their curiosity. And because they are too young, they are not fully aware of the dangers that premarital sex might be causing them. They do not know that they can get illness out of premarital sex. Worst would be if the girl would get pregnant at an early age, and because they are not ready yet for it, then abortion would always be an option for them. Now there will be murder. Taking the life out of an innocent one just because of that curiosity is a very selfish reason.
Pornography will always be linked to some of the big crimes that have been going on and are very harmful in our society. We should all be responsible enough in all our actions and taking into consideration the lives of other people who are involved. Pornography should not be valued. There are still a lot of things more important than them. Things that will help each and everyone of us. Let us take care of our kids and guide them into the right path. They are the future generation. So teaching them good values now will always help them in the future.
