How to avoid porn addiction on the Internet

1. Consider installing porn content filtering software( Strongly Recommend NetDog ,you can get it from www.netdogsoft.com ) on your computer. it will help to protect you from stumbling into pornography by accident, That's important.

2. Do not try to guess what the address of a Web page is. Many pornographic sites have similar addresses of respectable sites. For example www . whitehouse . com is a porn site. The real address is www. whitehouse . gov

3. Never click on Web site addresses that you receive in an unsolicited email.

4. Do not open attachments that come in email that are unsolicited.

5. Use filtered search engines or reputable directories to find the information you need.

6. Do not search for terms like girls. Think before you enter a search term.


Stick with reputable sites.
If something looks questionable, don't let curiosity get the best of you. Delete it or close the window.

I have gone through the same thing... I know how it is. That stuff can be nearly as addicting, if not as addicting as d.rugs. Makes you feel like crap afterwards, too.
What would be a good idea is getting someone to hold you accountable. Tell a close friend, or a leader at your church or something... it makes the load a lot lighter on yourself, and makes you want to look less.
Also remember, everyone sins, and you're no exception. Don't beat yourself up over it; ask for forgivness, forgive yourself, and fix the problem... as hard as it may be.

Answer 4

Please seek help! This stuff, is an addicition and can be very devistating to you. If can also hurt your marriage, if you are married. I know from experience as a wife who has been hurt by this. You might want to get rid of the source of your problem -- your PC. I know that is drastic, but you may need to do that for awhile until you can stop. You may want to get your mind on other things -- more wholesome things -- sports, fishing, repair stuff around the house, camping. Working in the yard, or helping someone else with things around their house. Just find something to replace this! When you fill the urge to see porn, get your Bible out and read, read. There are also some good books out there in the Chrisitan book stores regarding this stuff. I will be praying for you, you have beat the drugs and the alchohol, you are doing GREAT!!! Hang in there.

Answer 5

Good for you for giving up drugs and alcohol. Those were bound to kill you some day, or to badly affect your life.

On the other hand, what can porn possibly do to you? Maybe the only problem will be if you get used to it, and then you can't find your way with real people. So, just beware of that, but don't deprive yourself of something you find pleasant.

Answer 6

The only way to conquer any habit is to ask God for help, and make a commitment. From what I understand, it is harder to give up things like this than cigarettes and alcohol. Try the 12 steps from groups like AlAnon and apply it to this problem. Good Luck, I know of too many marriages that have ended because of this problem.

Answer 7

Cool about the drugs and alcohol... Alot of christians do the same thing, but most won't admit it. Its a difficult issue, because most churches have been a blatant failure in addressing this...I know you're going to get some sites, but here's another great one...

Answer 8

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

I would suggest to you that you continue to pray to the Lord for his delivering you from your addiction to porn. Did you know that while you continue to look at porn, you are not walking in the spirit and God will not look upon you. For a Christian that is not a good place to be with God.

Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


This behavior falls under this scripture... Please read it carefully. This is the word of God speaking, so dont' shoot the messanger..

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate

You can fix this with God, but you have to repent and not go back to that habit. IF you want to draw strength from the Lord...

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Draw strength from prayer and from the word of God. Read your bible every day.
God bless you

Answer 9

Pray for deliverance from it, then consider it done. I agree with another poster, unplug the machine. Get away from it. It is written "flee immorality". That means run from it, don't mess with it, don't even look back. I myself struggled with addictions before Christ and I can tell you the only way to beat it is get rid of it, all of it. Then, use the time you spent on that studying the Scriptures, praying, doing ministry, anything positive. I would also advise you to make yourself accountable to another brother. Find a brother you trust, lay out your problem to him then ask if you can be accountable to him for this. I know it isn't easy, but it must be done. Christianity isn't for wimps. Hang in there, brother, you'll get over this and come out stronger.

Answer 10

Get an accountability partner. It sucks having to admit it to someone close to you and rather embarassing, but that's what saved me. You could also try joining a LFL group. Keep yourself busy, don't allow yourself time to sit at the computer for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time.

Don't give up. Repent and give it to God. Continually ask for His help. It would also help if you can get an accountability partner you can trust or find someone you can confide in who will support you. I know it's really difficult, but God will get you through it.

Many blessings.
