from family.org: What began as a curious peek, led Phil Burress down a slippery path to porn addiction.

“It just taught me that women were to be used and abused and they were no more than sex objects.”

In 1980, Burress became a Christian and turned his back on the stronghold that held him in captive for 25-years.

“I personally believe, because I lived through it-it was a pornography addiction that destroyed a marriage. So I do believe it’s one of the leading causes, if not the leading cause of divorce in America today.”

Today he’s happily married and leads Citizens for Community Values; an organization committed to get pornography out of stores and hotels.

“Our own surveys indicated that the average age of exposure to pornography is now nine-years old. And 95- percent of our children have seen it at that age.”

Burress says educating young people about the dangers of smut is critical. And you can help begin the process, just by wearing a white ribbon that will, hopefully, initiate a conversation.

“We need to talk to our kids about pornography because it’s out there, you can’t escape it.”

But, just because hard-core porn or obscenity is prevalent, doesn’t mean it’s legal, according to Bob Peters with Morality in Media.

“If people don’t make complaints in the community about pornography, there’s a perception that well, people don’t care, and maybe that even it’s acceptable in our community.”

White Ribbon against Pornography week, or WRAP for short, kicks off October 29 th through November 5 th.
