PORN

VIDEO TIME AGAIN.
This time, it's not about Singapore Idol. It's not some comedy clip.

It's something more serious kids. It's called PORNOGRAPHY.
It's become so taboo for some of us.

(cant insert the vid in. something wrong i suppose)

Internet pornography is probably one of the most wide spread, unspoken struggle in a man's life. Because of how easily accessible (sometimes unintentionally) it is, it presents a significant challenge to avoid completely.

Many of us, especially men, struggle privately with it, sometimes on a daily basis. Covered by a layer of secrecy and shame, this makes it even more difficult to deal with.I hope this great Music Video by Mr J entitled 'Constance', sheds some light on it. Check it out. Also I've included some thoughts to help us in this very real battle.

• Pornography is degrading. It promotes sexual acts without providing a relational context, thus sex becomes impersonal. It does not address the needs for relationship, honesty and intimacy with a spouse. Therefore, pornography leads men to become preoccupied with only sexual acts. Consumption of pornography by men raises the likelihood of sexual violence against women.
• Pornography exploits women, treating them as sexual objects to fulfill the sexual desires of men.
  
• Pornography is also damaging to relationships, particularly to marriage. Men who are involved in pornography often end up with unrealistic sexual desires in regards to frequency, type of sexual acts engaged in, a woman's response, etc. Pornography is a make believe world - but can become the "standard" for sexual behavior for those who become addicted to it.

Internet porn, specifically, has been called the “crack cocaine of sexual addiction” by Dr. Robert Weiss of the Sexual Recovery Institute.

Pornography is an especially tough issue. The great news is that God is the God of forgiveness and restoration. No matter where we are, what we've done, or what we're trapped in... God can and will forgive, heal and restore.

Thanks Leo! for the wonderful input!
