By far, the most searched-for terms on the internet are related to pornography. Pornography is rampant in the world today. Satan has succeeded in perverting God’s gift of sex perhaps more than any other of God’s good gifts.

Many of us probably feel confused and discouraged by the rotten fruit Western culture has borne over the last several decades. This change is largely due to shifting values around some of the most basic aspects of human existence, such as the existence of God, the meaning of life and the reality of objective truth, including moral norms regarding sex, marriage and the family.
These ideas flourished in the counterculture movements of the 1960s, typically referred to as the Sexual Revolution, which denigrated marriage and saw sexual fulfilment and expression as one of the key aspects of human existence, unbound by the traditional confines of marriage between a man and a woman.
At the time, this was characterized as a movement seeking freedom from tyrannical tradition. Most people living in the West today have bought into this narrative of sexual liberation.
First of all, pornography use is widespread and normalized in American culture. Consider these statistics: HERE.
