In six years, Joshua Broome became one of the most successful porn stars, appearing in more than 1,000 adult films and being nominated for and winning best male performer. Yet, while he was at the pinnacle of success in the porn industry, all the money and fame only illuminated the emptiness and despair he felt. In this episode, Joshua boldly shares his story of redemption, talks about the dangers of not addressing porn in the church, and answers the question: “Does every person, even those in the industry, deserve human dignity?”

Here are 10 warning signs your husband is being impacted by porn. Keep in mind, none of these things alone are a litmus test, but they are signs to look for.

The debate is actually a fairly old one, and it is bigger than just pornography, but all kinds of addiction and compulsions. In medicine, there has been a long-standing debate about these terms. Some times the definitions have considerable overlap.

Porn and Sexual Violence—10 Facts from the Experts

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 19:04:09 GMT

Is there a correlation between porn and sexual violence?

The evidence is clear. Consuming porn is associated with all kinds of attitudes and, in some, even behaviors, that do not make this world a better place.

Is Naked Art a Form of Pornography?

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 18:52:48 GMT

I'm often asked, "What's the difference between pornography and naked art?" Usually the person who asks this assumes there is no difference, and his question is intended to help me see that. This video offers the beginning of an answer to why there is a difference.

Defining our terms is a good place to start. One of the best definitions of porn is "sexually explicit content intended to sexually arouse." If you agree with this, I think you'll see why the nudes depicted in the Sistine Chapel are not pornographic. They aren't sexually explicit, or even if you thought they were, they were not intended to sexually arouse and don't have that effect.

Next, we should take a look at the intention of the pornographer and the artist, and the intention of the viewer. The intention of the pornographer and the intention of the artist are very different.
