Children, on average, are first exposed to porn between the ages of 11 and 13. Still, many of those victimized by these mental illnesses are children. In fact, t he National Library of Medicine specifically finds increased levels of depression, anxiety, and social anxiety in adults between 18-25. In addition to its devastating effects on the family, pornography addiction increases the likelihood of developing mental illness, which spiked when internet usage became widespread. Republicans are now on the offensive against porn after it was revealed that children have access to obscene materials in their school libraries (a position vehemently defended by the Democrat Party).Īlthough the Republican Party of Texas recognizes pornography as a cultural crisis in Plank #285, very little has been accomplished to address the massive pornography addiction of large swaths of the population, including a quarter of millennials and Gen Z. Additionally, multiple studies have found that half of all divorce cases include at least one party obsessively consuming pornography. Yet, almost half of all first marriages will end in divorce. There is widespread agreement among conservatives that marriage is one of the core pillars of society.
