‘What can I do to protect my children and loved ones from the porn plague?’ some of you might be asking. There would be many things that can be done, but being informed about the insidious nature of porn and the harm it does to all who consume it is vital.

This site looks at numerous challenges we are facing in the West, be it radical Islam, the trans tsunami, the culture of death (abortion, euthanasia), the war on truth, and so on. Another equally menacing threat that we all face is the runaway porn culture that we are submerged in.

So many lives are being destroyed and so many marriages and families are being torn apart because of porn addiction. In the past few weeks I have been visiting this issue. And in some recent articles I have alerted my readers to one important new book on this: Pornocracy by Jo Bartosch and Robert Jessel (Polity, 2026).

Here I want to speak to it further, quoting simply from the book’s Introduction. The authors—British advocates for women and children—begin with these words:

Pornocracy / noun
A society in which political power, culture, relationships and identity are shaped or dominated by the purveyors of pornography.

This book is for everyone: sex industry performers and vicars, proud porn consumers and guilty covert users, radical feminists and `no-fap’ abstainers. It is also for those who are simply curious.

We might not realise it, but we are all subjects of the Pornocracy—a system where our minds, relationships and laws are shaped by global-scale sexual exploitation. This book tells the story of how pornographers came to dictate the moral, social and legal codes that govern our lives.

Porn is a colossal industry, yet it manages the rare trick of being everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Take its financial scale: a figure from over a decade ago, still parroted by major media outlets, put global revenues at $97 billion—more than the GDP of most nations on Earth. But the truth is, no one really knows how much money pornographers make. What we do know is this: the industry’s influence can’t be measured in cash alone.

Today, vast swathes of the population, men and women alike, see using pornography as a private matter, even a human right. Drawing attention to pornography’s victims, or to the harms of the sex industry as a whole, is as unpopular as campaigning to abolish slavery in societies built on its profits. And so the fate of the children trafficked to feed Big Porn, the misery of addicts, and the brutal and often short lives of female performers are brushed aside. Their suffering is deemed less important than the freedom to masturbate to a commercially manufactured fantasy.

No one can escape the Pornocracy’s influence. Generations raised with smartphones have now viewed scenes of rape, choking and incest before experiencing their first (real-life) kiss. Early exposure to extreme pornography is traumatic, in the true sense of the word. Some of these young viewers will grow up to re-enact these scenes on camera and for money, feeding the very beast that devoured their unformed sexuality. To them, we offer the first words that should be spoken to any victim of abuse: You are not to blame. (pp. 1-2)

Porn, the Devaluation of Women, and the Trans Agenda

In a recent piece on this site I discussed a new article by Jo Bartosch on the radical trans ideology and the harm it is doing. The title/subtitle of her piece is this: “The dangers of ‘gender-affirming care’ are now undeniable. A new study from Finland shows that puberty blockers and hormone treatment deepen troubled kids’ distress.” You can read what she said about this here.

The authors of Pornocracy discuss the connection between porn and transgenderism. They say this:
