How Does Pornography Affect You ?

WHAT EXPERTS SAY: Pornography is highly addictive, with some researchers and therapists even likening it to crack cocaine.

People who indulge in pornography often cover up their habit.
They are secretive and deceitful. Not surprisingly, many suffer from feelings of isolation, shame, anxiety, depression, and anger.

In some cases, they even develop suicidal tendencies.

Even a fleeting or accidental brush with pornography can have a negative impact.

Testifying before a U.S. Senate committee, Dr. Judith Reisman,
a leading researcher on pornography, said: “Pornographic visual
images imprint and alter the brain, triggering an instant, involuntary,
but lasting, biochemical memory trail [that is] difficult or impossible
to delete.”

How Can you be Free From Pornography ?

1. Pray to God.

“The most important step in overcoming the snare of pornography
is to ask for Jehovah’s help in prayer.

God can give the person holy spirit, empowering him “both to will and to act.” (Philippians 2:13)

If the person yields to its leading, it will help him to conquer wrong “passions and desires.”—Galatians 5:16, 24.

2. Get help from others.

“Pornography addiction is so secretive and shameful that you feel
you can’t ask for help. You think you can beat it by yourself.
But that is not true. You can beat it only with help.

Confiding in others will take courage and determination.

3. Identify and avoid potential triggers.

What situations, thoughts, or emotions trigger wrong desires?
Watching late-night TV? Reading magazines?

Being hungry, angry, alone, or tired?

“Identify your weaknesses, and avoid them like the plague,” .

NOTE :“If, now, that right eye of yours is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you.”—Matthew 5:29.

Even the internet… The question is what do you do on the internet ?

4. Strengthen spirituality.

“Fill your mind with wholesome thoughts, and fill your life with spiritual activities,”

The Bible states: “Whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern,whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well spoken of, whatever virtue there is and whatever praiseworthy thing there is, continue considering these things . . . , and the God of peace will be
with you.”—Philippians 4:8, 9.
