Do Couples Benefit From Watching Porn Together?

It gets sold as harmless, even as a way to spice things up. What it actually does is quieter and far more expensive: self-esteem erodes, real intimacy thins out, and two people end up chasing a screen instead of each other. The good news is that the brain God gave you can be renewed.

Watch How These College Guys Show Their Passion for Purity

Ninety college-aged men gave up a summer to work, share the gospel and study purity together on the Gulf Coast.

Record Number of Americans Say Porn Is ‘Morally Acceptable’

Public opinion on pornography has moved faster than almost any other moral question, and the sharpest jumps came from young men and unmarried adults.
