Sarah, I don't have the answer as I am in the same boat. My husband has been having sexual conversations with women online since before we married. He has sent and received pictures. I discovered this a few years into our marriage and he promised to stop. The cycle repeated several times and just recently came to a head. I am NOT willing to stay in this sinful environment if things don't change (I would leave but probably not file for divorce). In my opinion, raising a son in this atmosphere is too risky. My husband has finally admitted that...[more]

Well, after reading some of the stories here I feel free to share. I've been married for 9 years and feel that my husband and I have a really good sex life, but I feel that his porn addiction is eating away at our relationship. I have been praying for him and sometimes feel sorry for him because I know this is a demonic stronghold but at the same time I feel violated, or like he's cheating on me. I'm not going to give up on this marriage because I believe that what God has joined together let know man...[more]

I am going to bring up a difficult topic. I have been in counseling for my sex addiction. The body of a beautiful woman is the crown of God's creation. It is the most visually stimulating thing on the planet. It is meant to be that way, but like most all good things, it has been perverted. We are supposed to be in awe when we see a beautiful woman. There is something captivating about them. Something that says, "Look at me" "Am I beautiful?" My struggle with porn began at an early age. I was about 11, and a friend...[more]

I am a 15 year old teenager and have struggled with pornography and masturbation addictions my entire life, litterally since I can remember. I have become very close to God in the past two years and I am so enjoying getting closer to God and building relationship with Him. I believe it is about relationship, not religion, which is why Jesus hated what the Pharisees believes in. After I gave my life to God two years ago, I went somewhere around a year without porn or masturbating, then I fell back into it several differant occasions. It got to the...[more]

I feel so much shame in writing this now...because I am struggling now! I cant let anybody know, but I am addicted to porn! I remembered my first glance which turned into great ongoing lust as a child. It began with seeing the lingerie in the BIG Sears "Wishbook" When most kids were marking there toys, I was looking at women in this book! Age 8.....then when I was older I was at a friends house for a sleepover and my friends father turned on the playboy channel for all the little boys...I can remember all the filth it showed...[more]

Life is the stage and we are the actors upon it. That phrase defines me completely. I am the classic church kid who looks perfect and like he couldn't possibly ever deal with pornography. Thats where everyone is dead wrong. It is a double life, the life of godliness and the life of sin. I began at age 12 and now I'm 16 learning to deal with it much better. This Friday me and my friends will be restarting an accountability group I began last winter, and I hope I can help the new teenagers in the church that will...[more]

My story did not have a happy ending. And I cannot even begin to understand why a resource like this was not available 10 or 15 years ago when I needed it. I loved my husband, was devoted to our marriage and patiently waited for him to pay attention to our marriage. This was not the case. One day, about 10 years into our marriage I had an epiphany. See, I had been praying and fasting (for years) asking God to get my husband's attention, with no answer. So this epiphany was the first thing I had "heard" in a long silent...[more]

As a woman, most people (the few who know) are very suprised to learn that I was once addicted to pornography. The truth of the matter is that there are far more women addicted than most believe. I was raised in a Christian household, and stumbled upon pornography around the age of 9 thanks to romance novels (something far too many people do not see as being detrimental). As a child I loved to read, and was able to read higher level material. Unfortunatly that material turned about to be books that were also far beyond my maturity level. I...[more]

I was first exposed to pornography by a friend when i was 9. Since that time and now (I am now in my early 20's) I have intermittently come into contact with pornography through the internet, firstly through a youthful misguided curiosity and then later for the seeking of sexual acceptance, out of a childish fear and anxiety I had that I may never be able to sexually fullfil a woman, and for the obvious brief pleasures it promised me. I recently went about a year without exposure to pornography, and then upon a massive change of circumstances (death, relocation,...[more]

Most stories start in the beginning. Mine starts toward the end. That's when the secret of my sexual addiction was no longer a secret. At the time, I was deeply involved in a vibrant church. I felt like I was giving it my all and I remember worshiping on Sunday mornings when…I prayed eagerly that God would use me. His response to my active seeking came completely unexpected and with such a jolt that it shook at the very core of who I was and how I perceived myself as a man. In my search, God began to ask me if...[more]
