| Guest Commentary 'Reality Porn' Promotes Immorality, Corrupts Family Members By James L. Lambert (AgapePress) - Once again the smut industry is finding new ways to lure in new customers and add to the already billions of dollars it collects from Americans each year. "Reality porn" is the new rage -- and, as with other forms of pornography, it is corrupting men, boys, and family members across the county. While liberal jurists continue to protect porn millionaires and obscenity pushers, untold thousands of men and boys are being swept into viewing porn by these new reality sites. While the Justice Department demonstrates its apathy in enforcing obscenity laws, young adult video entrepreneurs arrange parties made up of men and women who know they will have sex together. They intentionally invite other men and women, often college-age, attempting to draw them into group-sex situations. During these events, beer is flowing freely. These "set-up" reality sites often are filmed on college campuses or in fraternity houses, bars (after hours), strip clubs, or private homes around the country. These young porn entrepreneurs show they will do anything for a buck. Promoters of these sites actively encourage sexual activity while the girls are heavily intoxicated. They know that this type of content will attract more paying customers to their sites. What some of the female participants do not realize is that once their images are caught on tape, they will be shown countless times over the worldwide web. Several months ago I spoke to a former Playboy centerfold model who was distraught that past pornographic images were still being circulated on the Internet. She's annoyed that pornographers like Hugh Hefner are still making money over photos that she would rather forget. Likewise, participants in "reality porn" need to understand is that once their images are on the Internet, it's close to impossible to retrieve them. It's obvious that these 21st-century smut peddlers are taking advantage of college-age kids by getting them intoxicated and involving them in a situations that are way over their head. Reality porn sites, as other forms of pornography, strip away the moral fabric of our society. Their message is that group sex is okay, that infidelity is normal, that a physical sex act means nothing between "consenting adults," and that multiple partnering is acceptable. Every day these Internet sites entrap and enslave men.
We need to promote an environment that will not shut its door on our children's innocence. My advice? Protect your family -- buy a good Internet filter, and know where your child and the men in your family access the Internet. Make sure that your software will protect your child's innocence. It's easier to protect your child this way than it is to remove deviant imagery from their minds that can lurk for a lifetime. Your child and your family are your heritage. Protect them at all costs!
