            <description>&lt;p&gt;In the UK they are called “lads mags.” In the U.S. they are called men’s “lifestyle magazines.” I’m not talking about your typical fitness magazine, but the one’s that routinely showcase women in erotic poses on the front. Many people argue magazines like this aren’t really “porn.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.covenanteyes.com/myth-lads-mags-dont-count-as-porn"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.covenanteyes.com/60445186/63914905/bd2411e5b2f744e0aa2c2ee7415adace/standard/download-2-thumbnail.jpg" width="600" height="338"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Myth: To Be Anti-Porn Is to Be Anti-Sex</title>
            <link>http://video.covenanteyes.com/myth-to-be-anti-porn-is-to-be</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;It is not uncommon today to hear people say they are for pornography, not necessarily because they consume it or like it themselves, but because it is a free expression of sexuality, and this should be encouraged. To discourage it or speak against it is to be, in some way, anti-sex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several decades ago the term “sex-positive feminism” was coined. Many feminists at the time were saying pornography was an example of violence against women, but the so-called sex-positive feminists replied saying, “When porn portrays a woman who enjoys sex, why is this a bad thing? Don’t get trapped in this Victorian idea that sex is just a man’s thing. Women enjoy sex too, and pornography a positive expression of this reality.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.covenanteyes.com/myth-to-be-anti-porn-is-to-be"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.covenanteyes.com/60445187/63914873/291d734be3dfb489ae76e6f7fbbb1224/standard/download-2-thumbnail.jpg" width="600" height="338"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I speak at a lot of conferences, and when I do, many in my audiences are young men—some in high school or college—and when I talk about the negative impact of pornography and masturbation, it’s not uncommon for me to get a lot of questions afterwards from these guys. You see, a lot of these guys have been told that not masturbating is actually unhealthy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the days of psychologists like Sigmund Freud and Alfred Kinsey, there’s a picture people have of the sexual impulse that it is this boiling, tumultuous force that needs an outlet or it will explode in harmful ways.&lt;br /&gt;
