I have found that porn has made me lose my ability to have a great relationship with real women. Now I am with a really cool girl and I have a hard time making love to her but still feel addicted to the computer. Porn is horrible but I am going to fight to give it up.

I work for Covenant Eyes, a software company that provides internet accountability for those who want to have a higher standard of integrity. It's so interesting to talk to so many people who've been trapped in addiction before (like myself) and have been set free. Thanks for your helpful posts and information!

Our target audience are children between the ages of 11 and 18, because they have so much to lose. We have been receive many requests from parents to speak with their children and help them talk to their children about Porn. We gladly help everyone who comes to us, and I am glad to see others taking a similar stand. We’re glad that we are not alone in this fight.

Granted, such is nothing but a pixelated fiction, a romanticism. But, you process sensual data with your brain, not with the sense-apparatus itself. Hence, your mind's eye sees this Lover, suspends disbelief in it, and receives it to itself as being real. Why? Because your loneliness drives you to want it to be real! Such an idealism is a beautiful monster. An unclean spirit, a demon, enters the pixelation, brings it to life and makes you its lover. Notice I said ITS lover, not HER lover. No human being can compare with your idealized demon- Lover who actually possesses no gender at all. 'She's' the fairest of them all- 'til 'her' charms bore you, in time. Then, it's off to Porn-Land to retrieve more images. The spirit-Lover discards the old and assists you in Googling a new incarnation. No remediate, but with God all things are possible (Matt. 19jealousy here! A man caught up in such a state is tied to lies; his life is a lie. His Lovers- his romanticisms -are all lies. Necessarily then, the doors to authentic relationships are locked shut to him, even to the person whose naked body he's been gawking at! If what you've read so far is true, you ought to be terrified. We all should be. The demons who enter these compelling pixelations oppress you, deprive you of the love you're desperate for, and laugh at your final ruin. They know human beings, not pixelated frauds, alone possess love and can freely share it. Take courage! With God all things are possible (Matt. 19:26). In Christ, deliverance is at hand (John 8:36).

Many men cannot find sexual partners easily and the isolation, frustration and sadness this causes means many men have no alternative for sexual release than porn and masturbation. Even married men who are in sexless or near sexless marriages feel lonely and often turn to porn to escape.
