Well yea if i didnt share my Testimony how would God get any Glory and the Devil would be stopping me from this so it would seem like Deliverance was impossible. And to your brother or whoever it is that you care about with the addiction. You need to inform him that he will not and cannot be delivered without God because it is impossible. And you need to be comfortable with talking to him about it. Because it is a ISSUE in this world we live in.

Okay. first a few home truths

you say that between 13 and 15 you struggled with internet pornography but since then you've been able to fight it. Do you even know why we have a stereotype of a horny pre-pubescent teenager? because they're ALL like that! Not only that, but its easier now because you're older!

Addiction is a very serious matter, but frankly, for the most part internet pornography is not. I can only doubt most of your statistics, and I'd love to know if Friel actually gives a source for his data.

A little bit of porn might be a good thing and help you and your partner explore your individual and combined sexuality and preferences. It's not dirty or wrong - unless you're caught ;). What is wrong is having to hide it from your partner, and even worse neglecting your partner because of it. It doesn't matter what crazy stuff you're into, if you're intimate enough to be having sex, you should be intimate enough to be able to talk about what pushes your buttons. Now, if you've found you have incompatible sexual interests... well that would make a good arguement for sex before marriage.

a few tangents, but I think i covered most issues...

Well, the thought it isn't cheating unless you get caught doesn't really apply, because we assume theirs a God, or as Eternal Entity said, a higher being, and he is all knowing seeing and um... being.

So your caught.
And We are supposed to be solely devoted to God.
That doesn't mean we should be Eunuch's, because one of God's requirements for being a leader is being married and having a good marriage.
If a man can't be succesful with his family why would he be succesful with someone else's family?
And besides, Lust is a one way trip to insanity.

I would have to disagree conradw . It's not healthy for an intimate situation. Because when your looking at porn, your lusting for that person. And if your married, the bible says if you think about having sex with someone other then your spouse, your committing adultery. That is never healthy for marriage.

Also, Porn sets a unrealistic standard for both men and woman. You look at Porn and the woman are sexy, smooth, no hair under there. Then men all have big genitalia. So if your attracted to those type. What about your spouse? What if their everyday people? Your supposed to lobe your mate as they are. They should be the sexiest things you lay eyes on. Not some naked person on the internet.

The whole point of marriage (as virgins preferably) is to explore what turns you on, helping you and your spouse get closer. In that process, you communicate, also growing closer in that way. Porn puts this wedge between that. Because Porn is sexual gratification with no work on your part and plants an image of what sex should be like. But where is the communication? The working it out? The growing closer together?
Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive.

What kind of porn are you looking at?

This is not a question to be answered, I just wanted to point out this sounds to me a bit like the old "All guys prefer tall blonde girls with huge breasts and an IQ comparable with the average loaf of bread". Which is certainly not true, as I'm sure most guys could confirm. It's just that it's always the most oafish Neanderthals that gets sighted reading pin-up magazines while scratching their behinds in public.

My English teacher said Smart guys get all the girls. If that's the case, I think I should be a player.
ERm. No.
That is wrong.
