The Power of Porn

Summary: When talking to college students about Pornography, Gene McConnell often gets a wide variety of answers. “I’m a fan of Porn—Porn’s Good,” “It’s sexual education for kids without parents,” It’s kind of funny,” “It’s degrading to women,” and “It’s pretty addictive,” are all answers he’s heard on campuses across the country and are indicative of our society’s general posture towards pornography.
McConnell’s talk is not designed to tell you what to think. Rather, he speaks intimately and honestly about the consequences of his personal use of pornography, the deep desires that pornography tries to fulfill, the level of sex-saturation in our society, and the way that he and others have found a way out of pornography’s hold.

Wow: If this message doesn't shake you and warn about the addictive and damaging nature of porn and that industry, few things would. Definitely a message I want others to know about. Thomas - Jenison, MI
I work with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Southern California. My hope is that more men and women hear this important message. I believe healthy relationships are at stake. Enrique Melendez - college minister at Cal State Fullerton
While I agree 100% with the basic message, I wasn't impressed with some of the content. Frankly, hearing about many of the disgusting things the speaker has done in his past was a bit more than I bargained for.
Very powerful and quite alarming. I believe only a man who has been through as much as he has could approach an audience as jaded as modern university students seem to be. May God continue to bless him in what he's doing.
Invaluable witness to the insidiousness that is pornography.
Everything and anything, if done to excess can be harmful. I enjoy viewing porn, just like I enjoy drinking alcohol and other such things. That does not mean I am addicted to either or that my behavior is harmful.
People that go around the country preaching the evils of porn are just pathetic.
Pornography *is* excess. To wrench something beautiful from its context, to remove the responsibility for which it is a reward, to prey on a healthy but easily aroused instinct, and to isolate only the most superficial from what is most deep, all the while trying to convince us that nothing worth saving has been left out, is an act so sinister and yet a lie so subtle that none of the parties involved will escape unharmed, whether producer, consumer, or consumed.
I was looking forward to hearing the 2nd part of Kimberleys story, the first half is very powerful. If this is read please add a part 2 of this audio.
Overall the message presented here is one that I would highly recommend listening to. Thanks for making this information available.
