It is not wrong. As a matter of fact the world would be so much better with more people like you. Once you get into sin, it is like a slippery slope, and you slide faster. The best way is what you are doing. Some people sin so much that it then becomes natural. The path to Hell is wide, but the path to Heaven is narrow.
Keep up the good work and continue being a witness for Christ.

Of course it isn't wrong. You are being an example which some of us fail to do. You are not stupid so don't let anyone tell you, that you are. When you are following God's will, then don't worry about what other's say. Porn is not something anybody should be watching, or lusting either but even Christians are human and sometimes fall into a trap. Sometimes when life brings hard licks and tragedy to our lives, we forget it is God who can help us. You are doing right so keep on doing what you are doing - you will be blessed because you are being obedient. God bless you.

Keep the faith sister. You are going to deal with the world telling you what you are doing is wrong because it goes against what they are doing. You are being a witness by staying strong in the faith. You are also among a great group of people who went against the world tides. Check out the book of Daniel. Shadrack, Meshack, and Abendigo <- not sure of the spelling. These three went against the king and because they didn't do what the king said everyone should do they were thrown in a fiery furnice. God saved them from the firey furnice. Keep true to God.

"For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but [the person] who does the will of God abides forever.

No it is not wrong! Today being a Christian means being countercultural.
We need to live in the world, pray for the world and love those in the world, but we can never be of the world.
Stay strong sister.

no it is not wrong to protect yourself.
Colossians 3:5-10
Deaden, therefore, YOUR body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Â On account of those things the wrath of God is coming. 7Â In those very things YOU, too, once walked when YOU used to live in them. Â But now really put them all away from YOU, wrath, anger, badness, abusive speech, and obscene talk out of YOUR mouth. Â Do not be lying to one another. Strip off the old personality with its practices, Â and clothe yourselves with the new [personality], which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it,

No
But there is this passage
I fear not the shadow of the valley of death for I know the Lord is with me.
There is NOTHING you can see or hear that can hurt you, it is ONLY experiencing things.
People say, for example, Harry Potter is EVIL, but if you read the books you see GOOD prevails and snuffs out EVIL
It's just a story
A story about good and evil and EVIL LOSES
It's no better or worse then some stories in the Bible where GOD TELLS SOMEONE TO KILL THEIR CHILD
Would you HONESTLY DO THAT. Would you take a knife and raise it to strike down on your child because GOD SAID YOU SHOULD
I wouldn't
I'd GO UP against GOD and TELL God
"Thou shalt not kill."
God brought the floods and smoldered cities
God does not need me to kill for him
God is FULLY capable of doing that
Is it GOD, SATAN or a TEST
If it's a test and you are WILLING TO KILL, then YOU LOSE if the 10 commandements are TRUE
You are NOT worthy of HEAVEN if you'll DEFY the commandments and KILL for GOD

Stay strong with the Lord. Do not fall into the temptation of fellows. Their advice is without wisdom and their tongue is quick to curse. Be pure in the heart for "the pure in heart shall see God." Fall not to this lust of the eyes, but keep to the commandments of your Father. Remain on the narrow path. Hold tight to His word and He will hold all the more tighter to you. Rely on God for strength and He will lift you up.

Of course it isn't wrong not to do those things , if you are strong in the Lord, you should know that it doesn't matter who approves of you , as long as God does. We are not the majority ,but the minority and that's ok.
You need to know , that any movies or music or anything, that doesn't glorify God, does get into our spirit and we are supposed to keep the temple of the Holy Spirit clean. You can only serve one master , God or the devil.
