I have been struggling with internet porn addiction have tried again and again to overcome this plague.
Finally, I stumbled across this website and decided to sign up for this support group to give me something better to do with my time and to have some accountability for my actions. I still struggle and I still have questions.
One question I would like to throw out there is this:
Is it ok for a husband and wife to watch educational sex videos together or is this still wrong?

Thanks Skrubby.
I did read your post and yes, I exhibit many of the same emotions and issues you address. I am just sick and tired of being chained to this horrible thing. I want out of it but it seems at times that the temptation is just too great. I am glad that this group is here.

welcome chef
the good news is that sexual sin is no worse in God's eyes than any other kind of sin. God forgives it, Christ died to set us free from it! Both Jesus (Matthew 15:18-20) and the Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) mentioned sexual sin in the same breath with other less serious

My sister Jill and Mlg both said it so well. Coming from the standpoint of a sister in Christ; taking the courage to step forth and actually 'name' the spirit that is plaguing you will go a long way towards your healing process.
I strongly urge you seek one-2-one help though,possibly in your church or community. there is nothing more refreshing to know then the thot of "...I am NOT alone in this"
Your wife and the bond you both have with Christ will go that extra mile when dealing with the healing process that needs to occur. Our flesh will always be weak, and the devil knows when to throw those curve balls.
An awesome movie I would reccomend you and your wife viewing is "Fireproof". The main character struggles with this same addiction, and how he overcomes it is nothing short of God's reigning glory.
