Do you use accountability software?

Do you have people that hold you accountable?

Have you read books on the subject?

What do you do when you're tempted?

All of those things are extremely important because the stronghold is so strong and so destructive.

And again, there's that lie that men can't help it.

It's not that they can't, it's that they won't.

And something needs to radically change.

You know, I've often said, Alex, that if our lungs were sitting on the outside of our chest, right, instead of housed with these walls of flesh, you'd have a lot less smokers in the world, right?

You've seen the healthy and the smoker's lung like side by side in a picture online, I'm sure.

But the problem is, is we don't see that in the moment.

So if men are able to see what pornography does to them on a spiritual level, on a psychological level, on a social level, on a on a relational level, I think it'll be a wake up call.

But there's just this blindness because we can't see the effects in the immediate.

Well, again, as I mentioned earlier, it's that fantasizing that leads to what you're experiencing not measuring up.

It's being lured into a world that doesn't comport with what you're really experiencing.

And so you're watching porn, you're seeing this glamorous, fantastical world.

And then you're interacting with another real person, the person you're going to wake up in the morning next to who's got morning breath and who's snoring and who, you know, you got relational issues that come into play.

And so people create these unrealistic expectations.

They're removed from real life when they're looking at porn.

And so when they're thrust back into real life, it just doesn't measure up.
