Myth #1 - Porn is good to use to learn how to Have sex and pleasure your partner.

• Fact:  Many believe this lie, that pornography is a good sexual instructor. While it is true that you can learn some sexual tips, the problem is the type of tips you will learn.  Pornography at its core is myth and fantasy. Exaggerating sexual acts and thus giving the viewer and unrealistic view of sexual acts and how a partner might act during the sexual act.
  
  Remember, these are people paid to "act".  In a typical pornography feature, the viewer could be confronted with many negative images and actions. Many porn films demonstrate extreme domination, humiliation, physical abuse, rape, and violence.  Repeated viewing of these themes and images can have a devastating effect on the mind, and through time, shape the viewer’s attitudes about sex.
  
  86% of rapists admit to regular use of pornography, with 57% admitting actual imitation of pornography scenes in commission of sex crimes. (Dr. William Marshall, 1988.)
  
  81% of serial sex murderers admitted they were users of pornography. (FBI, 1985.)
