The Battle Against Porn in Hotels

These groups are right that porn shouldnt be available in hotel rooms.  It’s objectionable and I disagree with it.  Why, it’d be like having a BIBLE in every hotel room or something!

WELL It doesn’t have to be “turned on” 8-),We have free choice.

Once again the views of the few try to dictate the life’s of the majority. Viewing porn in the privacy of a room you pay for SHOULD be left up to the individual paying for the room.

We do have free choice, but the porn industry has worked hard to get themselves insinuated in places where people - especially sales people are away from their families and friends - lonely and tired.  They may be flipping through the channels and then poof - an enticing ad about porn.  Studies have shown that porn is addictive and like any drug, it takes more and more of it to satisfy.  Most rapists and child molesters are porn addicts long before they commit atrocities against others.
So before you decide that porn should be as accessible as it is - think about the children and women who’ve been assaulted or murdered.  I won’t even mention all the destroyed marriages and families that come from porn addictions or the women who are actually enslaved in the businss.  Check it out before you get your dander up.

The porn industry outnumbered the goods.
