Youtube

I have always been a regular visitor of you tube since i don't know how long, i go there because i know that i will find something or the other that will make me smile or laugh if only for a moment. But recently i have been observing that the amount of videos related to porn or nudity have been increasing at a very fast rate. I wonder why this is? I recently came across a documentry made by BBC "Teens hooked on Porn". It was depressing to say the least. Viewing pornographic content is now being treated by doctors like a disease. They prescribe medication for it and the patient has to be monitored at all costs. Now, taking this is the fact in many western and European countries we cant be ignorant of the fact that this is deeply rooted in our society as well. Rainbow center is famous not only for selling cheap pirated DVDs but it is also the hub of selling porn to people of all ages. In Pakistan we may treat this subject as a taboo but we cant be ignorant of the fact that this is there in the society and its evils are being seen spreading. The number of molestations and rapes are increasing day by day and these pornographic content are feeding the imagination of the evildoers.
My point here is that rather than treating this as a taboo subject and letting the kids find out about it from dubious sources why not inform them of the dangers and the problems associated with this, feed them intellectually what they should know about the problems so that they dont have to turn to any other source for the information that they would naturally seek once they are of a certain age? Warn them of the spiritual aspect as well as the religious aspect of the subject and then have control over their information flow.
