Our country is so hypocritical

"In God We Trust"



Those are the words on the back of any of our U.S. currency and yet we as a whole also allow deviations from religion. The porn industry is one major change we now embrace. It no longer seems to be something that needs to be hidden behind closed doors. We are a country founded on a bunch of religious principles and sayings such as "under god" in the pledge of allegiance etc. Our nation is being hypocritical. We embrace these religious beliefs and then also embrace porn? Sex is originally taught about an act between husband and wife and is against god's wishes before marriage. (now this is the catholic/christian view) So a nation raised on these beliefs also embraces pornography like its child. However, with the modern days I know a lot of teens are having sex before marriage it is actually quite common. It is still preached that teens should do so when they truly care for someone. With this much pornography going around I doubt that will last. So we preach one thing and do another. Behind closed doors many people are experimenting with pornography and that's all fine I guess however, what happens when the porn they are watching becomes violent and obscene and men are now treating women like objects because they saw it in a pornographic movie? Sex is a very big thing in a relationship and if it gets degrading to women they won't experience the full value of it. This is why I am proud to say I am a man and I don't watch porn. It shouldn't matter what other people are doing, if you and your partner are satisfying your needs then god speed. If we look at other countries they don't seem to do this. Porn and sex is a more open subject in Europe. They even have a love festival in Germany every year. I was there in 2007 and they were handing out condoms like it was no big deal. So at least in Europe they don't say one thing and then do another. Our country also has had all these women's movements in the past 50 years and porn doesn't seem to be following the same trend. Women in porn are once again treated like they were in the 50s, like objects to men and they do whatever the men want. We need to stop doing one thing and saying another in all aspects and that includes porn.
