“Addiction is one of the foremost harms of pornography. It is at crisis levels in the U.S.,” said Patrick Trueman, President of Morality In Media. “It affects children and adults in very significant numbers and ruins many lives, marriages and families,” he added. “Few pornography addicts are getting the treatment they need though there are many services available.”
Director of the Be Aware: PORN HARMS campaign, Dawn Hawkins commented, “The evidence of addiction to pornography is now so overwhelming that it cannot be denied. Porn addiction is affecting every segment of American society and the harm it causes is great. Substantial research on pornography addiction can be found at the website www.PornHarms.com”
Morality In Media will not only highlight the problem of addiction to pornography, but provide many sources of support for addicts and family members. Candeo, an addiction recovery service, as well as Covenant Eyes and Net Nanny, which provide Internet Safety software, will giveaway free subscriptions to their services.
“Addiction would all but disappear if the U. S. Department of Justice would vigorously enforce criminal laws against the major producers and distributors of adult pornography,” said Patrick Trueman. “Attorney General Eric Holder must begin enforcing existing federal laws against obscene adult pornography now. The political clout of the pornography criminals must be ignored in this time of national crisis,” he added.
