TAKEAWAY Many struggle with pornography addiction without realizing it. Scientific studies show that pornography decreases gray matter in the brain. Decreased gray matter affects cognitive function and emotional regulation. Self-worth is crucial in understanding our value as individuals. Pornography objectifies both men and women, degrading their worth. There is a spiritual warfare against our sexuality in today's culture. Sex is a gift from God but should be treated with respect and sacredness. We must recognize our worth and the worth of others in God's eyes. A higher standard of intimacy is necessary for true fulfillment.
