The presentation of teachings in Theology of the Body aims to invite believers to respond to various deviant behaviors and ideas regarding the general human understanding of the body from the perspective of faith. The nature of the body is often assumed incorrectly. The body is seen as an object of sexual satisfaction and contains elements of a commodity in the economy. Another deviant perception of the body is only part of sexual gratification in today's era, marked by the widespread distribution of pornography via social media. Teenagers are the main target of today's concerns about the rapid spread of pornography via social media because today's teenagers are teenagers who are directly connected to internet-based social media in their daily lives. The internet is used as a medium for learning, work and even as a means of entertainment that offers instant features that make it easier for users to surf the virtual world.
