Help for Those Struggling with Pornography & Resources for Men Desiring to Maintain Their Purity

Men: What does pornography do to a man? For starters, it robs him of the capacity to be a man. The essence of manhood consists in readiness to deny oneself for the good of a beloved. This is why Paul reminds husbands in his Letter to the Ephesians that their love must be like that of Christ, who allowed himself to be crucified for the sake of his beloved, the Church (Eph. 5:21–33).

Women: In the heart of every woman lies an endless quest for love. We desire to be cherished, to be treasured, to be beautiful, to experience true love in all of its beauty. Pornography is the archrival of that desire, taking those hopes and dreams and reducing them to pure fantasy. Pornography is experience in different ways, but no matter how we encounter it, we are left wounded and scarred.

Marriages: Many of us approach marriage as the end-all—the end of our searching, the end of our praying, the end of our waiting, the end of our sexual struggles. Imagine then the havoc wreaked when pornography breaks through the bonds of marital love and becomes an unwanted third (and fourth, and fifth, and sixth…) party in the bedroom.
