Hi friends, I am struggling with my sin of Pornography. It krept back up on me after a few years of doing "fine" i need to find the root of this issue. The problem is, im worn down. I want to be obedient, yet i keep falling to my flesh. Whats also difficult is im same sex attracted. While I wont go back to that life, that has still manifested in the form of watching pornography (mostly gay but in the end its all sin so it doesnt matter what type) but im asking for prayer. That God guide me to the root of this symptom, im so broken and I know i can only turn to God. I am just so weak and would love my brothers and sisters in Christ to be in prayer along side me. I can be very harsh on myself when i mess up. I was the kid to throw myself in time out from time to time. It feels like im doing the same thing today, God is telling me dont keep doing it but all is good and im saying no i have to sit in the corner.
Thank you all for reading this. I just needed to get this off my chest and have some people in prayer over it all. Love you all and may the Lord bless you and keep you.
I'm sure the majority of anons on here have seen p0rn in one form or another (online vids, playb0y mags, etc).
I read an interesting take on p0rn a year or so ago. And frankly it was a valid argument. First, the whole freedom of speech/expression argument plus the "just say no to censorship of any kind".
But then the artform argument was made and it was pretty convincing. I don't remember all the specifics, but talked about naked bodies in art, like the statue of David, etc. That God's greatest perfection was creating the human form and it should not be criminal to admire it. Watching beautiful people in p0rn or in p0rn mags is the same as admiring other works of art. Why is p0rn demonized when the statue of David is revered?
It was a convincing argument and I wish I kept the article. It was well written, not pro-p0rn, but just very logical.
