But it's really tough to stop these things. They're destroying my spiritual life. You're in a terrible dilemma, and even if I told you that a lot of other people face the same problems, I know that doesn't make it any easier. Perhaps I can help, though. Your involvement with pornography and masturbation means you're caught in a trap of warped sexuality.
Pornography puts all kinds of awful ideas in people's brains, cheapening the value of other people.
Masturbation is a poor substitute for God's gift of sex within marriage. Both disgrace the beauty and dignity of God's creation, snaring people in a jungle of secretive obsession. It's very difficult to break free, as you know. I encourage you to make a clean break not just from pornography and masturbation, but from the Internet. Lots of people can enjoy the Internet and use it without being tempted by all the junk that's out there, but right now you can't.
