Event Details
The internet is swarmed with pornographic materials – 500,000 websites and 370 million pages. Every second, over 30,000 internet users are viewing porn, while 68 million people search for porn materials every day.
Internet porn is captivating because it is accessible, affordable and anonymous. With easy internet access via social media, email and mobile apps, the average age of first exposure to porn is as young as 11 years old. Adults are not spared either – with 40 million of them visiting these websites on a regular basis.
Objectives
This workshop will help counsellors, lay leaders and people-helpers to understand how porn affect people spiritually, emotionally and physiologically. From the physiological perspective, we will examine how porn activates neurochemicals in the brain to create addictive behaviour. Porn also affects relationships with loved ones as affected individuals lose interest to build emotional ties.
Spiritually, Jesus warned that if our eye is bad, our whole body will be full of darkness. The workshop will also discuss other aspects and causes of sex addiction and provide practical steps based on scriptural and psychological principles on how to help affected individuals break free from their addiction.
