Porn is everywhere. First exposure for many kids is age four. Around 65 percent of young adult men use it weekly; one third of web users are women; and teens and young adults are twice as likely to rank not recycling as more immoral than viewing porn. This affects all of us and research shows the spiritual, relational, emotional, intellectual, social, even neurological effects on users and those around them. So, put an arm around someone, maybe yourself, and say, "Because I care, let's talk".

Ron: I know you really don’t want to, but we need to talk about porn.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Porn is everywhere. First exposure for many kids is age four. Around 65 percent of young adult men use it once a week; one third of web users are women; and teens and young adults are twice as likely to rank not recycling as more immoral than viewing porn. So, no matter your age or family situation, this affects all of us.

And research shows there are a lot of effects. Spiritual, relational, emotional, intellectual, social, even neurological effects on users and those around them. So, put an arm around someone, maybe yourself, and say, “Listen up. Because I care about you, let’s talk about this.” For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
