Watching explicit material is sinful in so many ways. For starters, it makes a person lustful which according to early Christian teachings, is a grave capital vice. Also, lust can be thought of excessive love for others, which therefore places one’s love and devotion for God secondary. Furthermore, explicit material addicts are guilty of adultery. Keep in mind that adultery no longer pertains to merely sleeping with others outside of one’s marriage. Those who look on a person in a lustful manner have committed adultery in his mind (Matthew 5:27-28).
Aside from being a sin, explicit material addiction can erode into other areas of one’s life. It can put unnecessary strain on relationships for one. Additionally, it is quite likely that addiction to lewd content can escalate to sexual addiction. This is because explicit material addicts will experience tolerance and will seek out “stronger doses” of explicit material going from soft-core to hardcore and eventually to risky sexual behaviors. This can lead to more problems for the addict such as getting infected with a sexually transmitted disease. At times, sexually acting out can bring about pregnancies which are not planned, which some people terminate through abortion – another grave sin.
Considering that explicit material material has become widely available on the World Wide Web nowadays, a Christian’s faith is tested even further. Then again there are ways one can do to stay away from explicit material and to subdue one’s carnal desires. The first step is to get rid of the temptation which means removing all explicit materials in the house and on the computer. Next would be to identify triggers and finding ways to react differently to them. Additionally, one can set up filters on the computer to discourage viewing explicit material online.
Christian prayer is very important as well. A Christian prayer can effectively help someone stay away from explicit material as well as it invokes the Lord’s guidance and deliverance from the demons that bring these lustful thoughts. Those who are addicted to explicit material need not deal with these issues on their own. Keeping the problem to oneself hoping that it can be addressed without the help of others is rather prideful and may not bring about desired and sustained outcomes.
Addicts can choose someone who they can talk openly about their addiction, a trusted friend or a religious advisor for instance, and make him their accountability partner whom they will report to daily about their successes and failures.
