Thanks. But he's right. It still comes down to just opinions, whether informed, or not.

I can only appeal to you by saying what it means for me. I cant tell u how degrading I find it. I worry that girls my age are forced into this by criminals, while others do it because theres no other way they know how to survive. For me this is men preying on women. Its an abuse. I hope this is enough of an incentive for you.

What you have brushed is actually one of the key aspects of that book I recommended. If we understand that we are hurting God's beautiful creatures, and they are, in reality, our own sisters in Christ, what we continue to do takes on an entirely different color.

One thing I know, by experience...

My eyes got me in troubles, more than once.

These eyes I love are a made-believe...

View attachment 132410

The Gestalt Effect | Regents English 10

Those that really loved me, those who had shown pure love, were ignored when I set my eyes in the wrong place...

I know there are ladies who also had believed their eyes (they´re NOT blind)

But, I´m assured we men believe our eyes and, if I had found a woman who was blind (literally) I would have loved to serve her, by these two reasons:

1) I would love to be her sight.

2) Beside one single person I was, I needed nothing else to see.

But all gender are dealing with their fights.

Thank you, but it is only doing something that needs to be done.... and I have retired from it now-days.

I appreciate the compliment, but I'm afraid you are in the minority. I think most people here would be just as happy if I only read, and didn't post.

Well, I do try to remember the adage, "You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time... and those are pretty good odds."

This is my first time doing something like this. I need help badly. I went through a bad relationship recently and I use porn to replace what I once had, and to replace the pain and the void that I have in my heart. I want to stop please help

Using porn to replace pain is like using acid to heal a cut. Stay away from porn and all sexually lustful situations. Then you will begin to heal.

If you use porn to replace what you had, then you must have been having sex. So porn's not your real issue, lack of sex is your real issue, and since you're Christian, that lack of sex is going to continue, and so is the frustration that a lack of sex brings.

You have a few options. You can get married (which isn't as easy nowadays as giving some sheep to the father of the bride, so that's not a viable solution); you can continue to use porn to satiate yourself (and since you're Christian and feel guilty about porn, that's not a viable solution either); you can engage in sex (but since you're Christian and feel guilty about sex, that's not a viable solution either); or you can remind yourself that you chose to be a Christian, and suck it up.

Concentrate on something other than sex.
