I'm the latter ... I'm still struggling with
pornography ( and I haven't told anybody which is a
big no no but that is because I've already told
them of my diet problems --- which are mostly gone
--- , depression --- gone as well --- and former
suicidal tendencies --- gone too and that's because
of prayer and the psychologist )
After all I've been through I don't know why I am
still scared but anyways ...
Here's what I think
- Get on your knees to God and speak a one on one
to him --- That helped me a lot
- God prefers hot or cold and not lukewarm but when
one is in a struggle sometimes the journey and much
of the path needs to start lukewarm and be somewhat
lukewarm to end hot
- Worship and praise ( Hillsong , Don Moen , Ron
Kenoly , Paul Wilbur , etc )
- Read the Bible a bit everyday
And even though I'm struggling worth pornography
I'm watching pornography less and less ... I guess
I'm in my last stage ... that's why I am here
I'm watching it less and less because also in my
mind pornography is not sex
It's fake , abuse and even if not fake or abuse it
is not the ideal of marriage and monogamy ... of
what God wants
It's hentai , BDSM , anal , incest , homosexuality
( male or female ) and so forth
It's adultery , extra marital sex , etc
There is no respectable sin
I think looking at my own feces has made me vomit
and greatly took of the addiction to pornography (
try it , it works ) as I connected to the
perversion of anal ... that and knowing that BSDM
is disgusting and imagining myself getting beaten
or treated harshly in real life
Sometimes I look at Renaissance pictures ,
Greek/Roman , Middle
Eastern/Indian/Chinese/Japanese and Judeo Christian
conservative depictions of sex
I think that while getting out of pornography good
depictions of sex , marriage , monogamy and
whichever should be added
Most American movies from the 1920's til the 1950's
tend to fit the bill ... Christian or Bible based
movies or series too ( for example the famous '' In
The Beginning '' ) ... animation works too
Pictures and sculptures of clothed female and male
bodies or naked if they are depicting something
like Adam and Eve
I guess that I'm just watching pornography out of a
repeated habit and not because it is good or makes
me aroused ... I'm been away from pornorgraphy for
almost 2 months ... I've watched it again just this
morning
I'm here because I feel almost free ...
almost
It's just the last chains
Advice to those dealing with this struggle
- Get a psychologist ASAP
- Read the Bible ( even of it only a little )
- Talk to God ( one on one ) and somewhere where it
is quiet
- Tell somebody ( even if it is a half truth
)
- Replace those disgusting videos and images with
healthy views of sex within the context of marriage
( you can take it from any culture you wish ) or
Judeo Christianity
