Stay Away from Porn

                We can strengthen individuals, families, communities, and nations by teaching them the dangers of pornography.  I have written several times about the dangers of pornography from the consumer side of the deal.  I did not think much of the producer side of the filth until today.  I felt a great deal of compassion for a young woman who was part of the porn industry and decided to do something else.  Her story is really quite sad.

                Bree Olson is an ex-porn star; she “broke down in tears while discussing how she is treated by critics who learn about her former adult film career.  “When I go out I feel as though I’m wearing slut across my forehead….  I have really gotten to the point where there are days to weeks at a time where I don’t leave my house because I don’t feel like facing the world.”

                Ms. Olson was making $30,000-$60,000 per month as a porn star and left the industry to work as a mainstream actor.  She sends a “very strong message” to girls and young women.  Her message is:  “don’t do porn… you’re just going to have a life of crap in front of you in dealing with people and companies.”

                Last year Ms. Olson tweeted a similar warning to young girls:  “I didn’t find Jesus.  I don’t hate porn.  I didn’t have any bad experiences.  But trust me when I tell you not to do it.”

                Other girls and young women can be saved a lot of heartache by following Ms. Olson’s advice.  She has been in the industry and knows the problems associated with it.  We would all be wise to stay away from porn and strengthen ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nations.
