More than 30 years ago,
I urged BYU students to avoid the
promotional literature of illicit sexual relations
in what they read and view. I gave this analogy. Quote, "pornographic or
erotic stories and pictures are worse than filthy
or polluted food. The body has defenses to rid
itself of unwholesome food. With a few fatal exceptions,
bad food will only make you sick but do no permanent harm. In contrast, a person who
feasts upon filthy stories or pornographic or erotic
pictures and literature records them in this
marvelous retrieval system we call a brain. The brain won't
vomit back filth. Once recorded, it
will always remain subject to recall, flashing
its perverted images across your mind
and drawing you away from the wholesome
things in life." End of quote.
