I love young people. Unfortunately, they are often picked on, made fun of and criticised unfairly by older generations. I feel fortunate that I grew up and lived a significant part of my life as a young man before the rise of internet pornography and video games. There were video games, but they were somewhat limited and less attractive. 

Unfortunately, these two things, in particular, have negatively affected young men. They deceive men and steal two foundational parts of manhood from them, seeking adventure and a genuine relationship with a woman. 

 The Rise of Internet Pornography

   Pornography has been available since people started drawing pictures and carving statues. In the Old Testament, the Israelites struggled with something similar in visiting pagan temple prostitutes.

PORNOGRAPHY AND VIDEO GAMES HAVE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED YOUNG MEN.

When I was young, if a man wanted to consume pornography, he had to go to the seedy side of town and visit a so-called adult bookstore or, at the very least, ask for a magazine over the counter in a convenience store. Now everyone has a device in their hand that makes anything they might imagine immediately available. 

OnlyFans: A New Kind of Poison

   We have yet to understand and experience the full consequences of internet pornography and the damage it will bring about. Pornography destroys lives, marriages, families, society, and culture. In recent years the internet has introduced an even more poisonous form of counterfeit and deception in OnlyFans. 

I won’t go into the details of OnlyFans, but I’ve included a link for The Knowledge for Men Podcast titled “The Darkside of OnlyFans: How OnlyFans Hijacked the Souls of Men and Women in a Few Years.” It explains some things about OnlyFans and how it is potentially even more poisonous than what we’ve seen in online pornography. As a preface, it is not a Christian podcast and may require listener discretion. If that sounds like a problem for you, don’t listen to it.

Don’t Settle for a Hollow Shell of a Substitute

   A final word. I don’t intend this as a boast but as an illustration. There have been times when I felt like I would die from exposure to both heat and cold. 

I have visited both jungles and alpine forests. I have hunted enemies and been hunted by enemies. I have launched into the sea from remote beaches and caught big fish. I’ve hunted big and dangerous game. I’ve been faithful to my calling in the most difficult of times and do my best to live by the commands of Jesus. I am a veteran of military service and also a veteran of 30 years of marriage to one woman. 

If anyone thinks a long-term marriage relationship is boring, they're doing it wrong. I only share these things to say that I speak with authority regarding adventure and a relationship with a woman. There is no substitute for genuine adventure and a lifelong relationship with a real woman.

Seek God and His calling for your life, seek adventure, find a good woman and love her, holding nothing back.
