Is your behavior secretive?

Do you feel guilt, remorse, or depression afterward?

Have you ever thought that you needed help?

It promotes secrecy in your marriage that will undermine trust

Provides an unrealistic expectation of a sexual relationship

Can decrease sexual satisfaction within your marriage

Frequent viewing of the dehumanization of women will affect how you treat your wife and daughters

Pornography kills true emotional bonding with your spouse because you've spent that energy elsewhere

Steals valuable time from your family

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because

these are improper for God's holy people.

Ephesians 5:3 (NIV)

"I made a covenant with my eyes not to looklustfully at a girl”

Job 31:1 (NIV)

"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has

already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Matthew 5:27-28 (NIV)

Romans 7:15-25

I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that

what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in

me that does it.

And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do

what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not

really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me

that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to

sin.
