Powerful Pornography

I have never really thought much about this issue (probably because I am a girl and females don't have the same struggles as males) but I read "The Seduction of Pornography" on the Boundless Webzine today and it really opened my eyes to the destruction pornography has the ability to wreak. And it scared me. This has the power to destroy women because it builds up expectations and ideals that real women in real life can never - and aren't supposed to - measure up to. Are we doomed to forever be a disappointment now? It is way too easy to access, nevermind hide, pornographic media. Is there hope? Is there still a smidgen of purity left? I'd like to hear what some guys have to say about this article, this topic, and what a girl like me can do to help her brothers in Christ. For now, I will start by pleading with God to grant His strength to Christian men - to salvage and purify this once-beautiful-now-horribly-twisted part of creation.
