The Pelsers

A Shelter for the Heart

By Amanda Pelser

Be prepared: Protecting our children from internet porn

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure statement here.

Did you know that:

  • 42.7% of Internet users view porn
  • 20% of men say they view porn at work.
  • 53% of Christian men consume pornography.
  • Breakdown of male/female visitors to pornography sites: 72% male & 28% female
  • 17% of all women struggle with pornography addiction.
  • The average age of first Internet exposure to pornography is 11 years old.
  • 90% of 8-16-year-olds have viewed porn online (most while doing homework).

The stat here that really struck me was the last one.  Jonathan is only 3, but he's starting to use the computer to play preschool games online.  We have an internet filter installed, but there's always the possibility of him seeing something that he shouldn't when unsupervised.  As a mom, I want to be prepared.  How do I handle this delicate subject?

LifeChurch.tv is sponsoring “The Porn Event” later this month:

The Porn Event is a 25-minute experience where people can learn more about the real-life effects of pornography. Featuring different options for men and women, The Porn Event will be offered from May 23-28. Visit ThePornEvent.com for scheduled times and more information.

I don't want my son to be a statistic.  I want to be informed and ready to teach and protect him.  Hope you'll join me and participate in this event.
