Subject: addicted to porn-help |
Bible Note: I have just finished reading an excellent book that may help you understand and address your situation. It is "Sex, Men and God: A godly man's road map to sexual success" by Douglas Weiss. Basically, his thesis is you are not addicted to porn, you are addicted to the powerful chemicals produced by your brain that are released to your brains' pleasure centers during sexual climax. This chemical response becomes associated with whatever you look at during orgasm. Weiss explains how this dynamic is established, as well as how to apply godly principles, backed by scripture, to overcome this addiction and replace it with a healthy biblically-based sexuality. Also, without endorsing or condoning masturbation, he explains how three different kinds of masturbation lead to three different consequences in a man's life. There are questions to answer that help you identify where you are on the spectrum and specific suggestions for how to stop destructive behaviors and replace them with healthy attitudes and lifestyles. The point is, there is hope, but you must be willing to confront your situation honestly and take steps to change. The first is to accept God's way and reject man's. I cannot recommend this book enough to both Christian men and women. Parable |
