| Understanding Pornography and Sexual Addiction: A Resource for LDS Parents and Leaders
| | SA Lifeline Foundation
| Pornography is a significant problem in our society. Some reliable studies suggest:
*Nearly 70% of young men ages 18 to 34 visit porn sites in a given month
*47% of families in the United States say pornography is a problem in their home
*Nearly 87% of young men and 31% of young women reported using pornography
*9 years old is the average age at which children first see online pornography
"Internet pornography is a stealth attack on our homes and families through invisibly transmitted electrons. Education about the addictive, destructive nature of this attack is paramount, and hence this manual. We must address prevention and recovery with the same tenacity the pornography industry has employed to invade our homes and our lives. Only then can we turn the tide and begin to win the war." Donald L. Hilton Jr., MD Author of best-selling book, He Restoreth My Soul
The manual contains reliable information about pornography and sexual addiction, including answers to frequently asked questions about what is necessary to support recovery for those addicted and their afflicted loved ones. Its creation was in direct response to requests from parents, bishops and stake presidents who asked for a resource that could be used when teaching about prevention and addiction within the family-as well as counseling those in their stewardship.
