Solutions for Sex Trafficking | Is There An Answer?
I am writing this article out of concern for the massive amount of sexual immorality and human and child sex trafficking going on to feed the bloated and perverse pornography industry in the age of the internet. The statistics are staggering.
Are there any solutions for sex trafficking? Is there an answer to this epidemic?
Free Mindgeek tube sites alone receive 100 million unique visitors per day (The Economist – 2015).
One researcher called children’s unlimited access to extreme and graphic internet pornography, “the largest unregulated social experiment in history.”
Our society is paying a severe price for this experiment that is corrupting the minds of our children and taking advantage of and exploiting the most vulnerable.
In 2010 the journal Violence Against Women reported physical aggression in 88.2% of leading pornography material and verbal aggression in 48.7% with 94.4% of the aggression directed towards women and girls.
The Law
We are not taking care of our children and women and girls. The pornography industry is taking over and I think the only way to stop it is drastic changes in the law, outlawing pornography entirely.
I'm no expert on the law, but it just seems dumb to me that something so detrimental to society is legal. Pornography is robbing our children of their innocence either for viewing porn or being sex trafficked.
There must be something that can be done in terms of making pornography unlawful, but I fear if we do not, the moral decay as the result will be devastating to society for decades to come.
The internet needs holy water or something sprayed all over it. I pray that God moves in a drastic way to end the scourge of pornography for the sake of the people.
Waning the Demand?
Since pornography websites have started giving away their content for free the demand has skyrocketed.
If you view pornography and think that it is okay, what are you going to say when you face God's judgment and He shows you some children who have endured the torture of being sex trafficked and asks you, 'what about these?'
Viewing pornography messes with your head...
There is clear evidence that porn makes many consumers more likely to support violence against women, to believe that women secretly enjoy being raped, and to actually be sexually aggressive in real life. (How Consuming Porn Can Lead to Violence. Fight the New Drug)
The more pornography a man watches, the more he needs to conjure images of pornography to maintain arousal, and will be more likely to ask for particular sexual acts with his partner and have concerns over his sexual performance and body image. Sun. A., Bridges, A., Johnson, J. & Ezzell, M. (2014) “Pornography and the Male Sexual Script: An Analysis of Consumption and Sexual Relations.” Archives of Sexual Behavior.
There is a positive correlation between hours of pornography consumed and higher narcissism levels. Additionally, those who have ever used pornography had higher levels of all three measures of narcissism than those who have never viewed Internet pornography. Kaspera, T., Shorta, M. & Milam, A. (2014) “Narcissism and Internet Pornography Use.”Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy. Vol. 41 (5)
Destroying Your Personal Relationships
Those who frequently consume Internet pornography are less likely to marry because they see pornography as a marital sexual gratification substitute. Malcolm, M. & Naufal, G. (2014) “Are Pornography and Marriage Substitutes for Young Men?” Institute for the Study of Labor.
Extramarital sex is one of the most commonly cited reasons for divorce, and Pornography consumption is correlated with positive attitudes towards extramarital affairs. Wright, P., Tokunaga, R. & Bae, S. (2014) “More Than a Dalliance? Pornography Consumption and Extramarital Sex Attitudes Among Married U.S. Adults.” Psychology of Popular Media Culture.
You are also destroying your relationship with God if you view pornography...
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
If you think that pornography or even strip clubs are okay remember that one deviant sin leads to the next and I have even heard of some pornography sites pushing child porn. Do you really want to be a pervert and contribute anything to the sex trade where women and children are victimized?
Hope for the Victims
Human trafficking is a world wide epidemic.
In some cultures it is an acceptable practice and common place.
ISIS is responsible for a lot of kidnappings of girls as young as 4 or 5 and they rape them, repeatedly.
Some of the girls have witnessed their sisters and mothers poured on with gasoline and lit on fire by ISIS.
In these countries, where this happens, the girls are considered outcast because they are not virgins.
VictorMarx.com is an organization working to crisis council sex trafficked victims.
Check them out and pray for the victims of sex trafficking and pray that the scourge of human (sex) trafficking is reduced with the help of volunteers, professionals, organizations like VictorMarx.com and governments.
God loves these His children who are the victims of sex trafficking.
Let us love them also and always stay away from pornography and any other sex trade activities like strip clubs that we reduce the demand for sex traffic victims.
Satan, the enemy, attacks children at an early age because it is easy to tear them away from God's love, at least temporarily.
Isaiah 42:16
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Psalm 23:3
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Pray for a Conclusion to the Pornography Industry
If you are a parent who is concerned about your children's use of the internet check out InternetSafety101.
If you have been viewing pornography, stop now, scrub all your devices free of the porn and repent - God will forgive you if you repent with a sincere heart and vow never to go back to viewing porn.
If you are so addicted to porn that you need professional help to free yourself, I recommend FaithfulCounseling.com – professional mental health counseling from a Biblical perspective.
Pray for the victims of human trafficking that they may find peace, love and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Pray that the demand for sex traffic victims is reduced or ended.
Your prayers matter and make a difference!!
