Thank you for joining us! Sign up for our next event:
Pornography is a multi-billion-dollar industry. And it has had a huge impact on individuals, families and societies. In Singapore, a survey in 2016 indicated that 91 percent of teenage boys and 35 percent of teenage girls had watched or read sexually explicit materials within the previous year.
By now, the statistics are likely to be worse.
As parents, we cannot but be concerned about the negative impact of pornography on our children.
Come and join us as we seek to understand this topic from the perspective of science and faith, and how we can help our children avoid its snares.

Talk 1: Tackling pornography
Why is pornography addictive? How can we tackle this scourge in our lives that has devastated so many individuals and relationships? Dr Christopher Cheok will discuss the Psychological aspects of how pornography impacts us and our children, and what we can do to combat it.
Talk 2: Redeeming Sexual Desire
Why do we have sexual desire? Is it good or bad? Should we suppress it or indulge in it? Is there another option? Dr John Hui will navigate this issue through the lens of the Theology of the Body of Pope St John Paul II, and how it can give us a renewed and redemptive vision of the human body.
