Today’s porn can be accessed free and available 24/7 on a device that fits into your pocket. We are living in a world where porn culture is becoming part of everyday life.

Pornography can affect anyone at any age. The National Centre for Sexual Exploitation http://endsexualexploitation.org/  is an advocate for social change to protect the dignity of the human person.
