A recent survey performed on 1,000 professing Christian men and women, found that 50% of the men and 20% of the women surveyed were addicted to pornography. It appears any addiction has taken us captive the very moment we believe we are controlling it. Like any addiction, sex becomes the drug to relieve stress, to cut the edge of emotional pain, often playing a self-nurturing role. Like the self-mutilator who cuts the pain out, the true sex addict takes no real pleasure in the actual sexual act, but rather feels great shame afterwards. Just as with any addiction, the sex addicts addiction must grow more heinous in order to retain the same high. Therefore, the behavior progressively gets more risky.

Webster's defines pornography as images OR TEXT whose intent is to arouse sexual desire. Though this may not have been the authors' intent, it is certainly the text's direction. Don't read 'Every Man's Battle' unless you are looking to masturbate. I read the first chapter and then threw this sleazy book in the trash. A better book is Joshua Harris's book, formerly named 'Not Even a Hint'. He states he wanted to approach the subject 'without dragging the reader's mind through the gutter'.

It all comes down to fantasy, and women are just as susceptible to men in fantasizing. In the past men sought visual stimulation while women liked to have an environment built up, but that paradigm has changed. I wonder how history (100 yrs. from now?) will judge the last 10 years or so as the rise of internet p0rn has affected society. Parents who let their children surf unmonitored are asking for trouble. All churches should have special seminars for high school seniors, whether or not they are going to college, on personal responsibility and moral challenges. How many students have had to drop out after one semester because they spent more time on-line for p0rn, games and even chatting rather than getting their school work done? I suppose there has always been freshmen not being able to handle their new-found freedom as long as there have been colleges. It seems the internet intensifies the process.

I edit a "minister's health newsletter" for our (AG) district, and it sometimes features stuff about our program to allow ministers to annonymously get help. I've been saying for a long time that we must stop thinking this is just a guy thing and that women just read mild erotica. Not so. Not any more. Thank you for the excellent post, and in a future page I will include it a link. THANK YOU, Rich.
