Finally, a Porn Site I Can Recommend: PornHarms.com

If you're looking for a fantastic new porn site, have I got one for you! There's content for the whole family. After all, porn isn't just for men anymore. Women, teens, and children are part of the action these days too. And that's exactly why former chief of the U.S. Department of Justice Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Patrick Trueman, launched his new site, PornHarms.com.

The site's subtitle reads, "This site is dedicated to providing the most accurate peer-reviewed research on the harm from pornography, along with relevant news and opinion." There, you'll find news articles, op-eds, and accredited research on the harmful effects of pornography with intelligent evidence to back them up. Topics include "Self Produced Child Pornography: The Appropriate Societal Response to Juvenile Self-Sexual Exploitation" and "From Fantasy to Reality: The Link Between Viewing Child Pornography and Molesting Children," as well as sections on marriage and pornography, self-image, addiction, and the links between pornography, prostitution, and sex trafficking. All super racy reading that'd make anyone sit up and take notice, if you ask me.

Trueman notes that the advent of the internet has brought pornography into the homes and day-to-day lives of Americans for almost two decades. He notes that activities like sexting, where minors are making and distributing sexual images of themselves and other minors, AKA kiddie porn, were not seen in children until recently. Historically, children had natural inhibitions against this sort of thing, but according to Trueman, the new cultural norm of porn "... is altering minds, destroying taboos, and reordering society."

PornHarms.com puts a lot of academic evidence behind that statement and shows little to no distinction between softcore, hardcore, or child pornography. The ACLU and other organizations insist porn is protected by freedom of speech, but Trueman says he isn't interested in what you do at home in your bedroom. What does interest him is exploring the effects pornography has had on our culture and giving researchers a one stop shop on the issue, be they Ph.D. candidates or stay at home moms.

Since selling sex on a street corner or a website, forced or even by choice, actively feeds the demand for human trafficking, anti-traffickers everywhere should find PornHarms.com particularly stimulating. Even more so if you share it with someone else.
