tcastle, keep fighting the good fight of faith. I was thinking yesterday that men all over the world are addicted to porn and it is warping their minds. Whether you are a boy, young man, middle aged man or even an old man, porn is so seductive and so easy. It's just a click away. No one will know, c'mon just do it.
I wouldn't tell your wife about your porn addiction. It's your own personal struggle. Honesty is important, but this could undermine your sex life because women often become insecure when they start comparing themselves to porn stars.
I knew an old man who was a preacher and he was addicted to porn. He was quick to repent but he wasn't able to stop watching porn until he focused his attention on the death and resurrection of Christ. Day in and day out.
Submit yourselves to God, Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7
I am determined to know nothing in this world save Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Be careful not to give the devil a foothold because your sins will bear fruit. For a Christian that sinful fruit could be the discipline of the father who loves you, or even the Wrath of God.
I'm struggling right now and I just watched porn yesterday. This voice in my head is saying, "What does it matter if you watch porn"
This kind of thing just doesn't seem consistent with pe.
PE is like politics mate, keep your religion out of it because it just oozes hypocrisy.
Your first two paragraphs are spot on, the third one about the preacher I can just about stomach but what comes after...
Wtf
Thou shalt stretch thy penis which the good lord bestowed upon me....
But thou shalt not watch porn.
.
Dont get me wrong im in on the no porn, it is destructive and degrading for both sexes.
However, in the grand scheme of things throughout history, religion of all kinds has washed and ravaged the brains and stained the hands of men not with spunk but with blood.
Jesus was a good man, but I doubt he would share your thoughts on PE.
You don't preach PE in church so dont preach church in the PEgym.
