Pornography Part


 As we continue our dis-
cussion on our subject for
the month of.July, our
question for today is
"Who are the victims of
pornography?" Those.
who are addicted to
pornography are victims.
 Males: There is such a
*thing as the "pleasure of
sin for a season" (Heb.
11:25). However, accord-


ing to James 1:13-15, "lust-
ful sin in its fullest form
brings forth death" -
death to our self-esteem,
to meaningful relation-
ships, to moral absolutes,
and all. too often literal
death to the innocent as
well as the guilty.
 In an odd twist, expo-
sure to pornography leads
to a lower net return each


time which is to say that
the more pornography
one sees, the more explic-
it the images must be in
order to excite interest -
his eyes roam across the
images of unblinking
faces, leering at women
who make no demands
upon him, who never
speak back, and who can
never say no. There is no
exchange of respect, no
exchange of love, and
nothing more than the us-
ing of women as sex ob-
jects for his individual
and inverted sexual plea-
sure.
 Men, to look at porn is
to commit adultery. Jesus
said, "You have heard
that it was said to those


MR, i..


. .


n'i ,ic


of old, 'You shall not
commit adultery.' But I
say to you that whoever
looks at a woman to lust
for her has already com-
mitted adultery with her
in his heart." (Matt. 5:27-
28) .
 Males. are victims of
porn and so are ... their
spouses. One woman's
story:!
 "My husband began us-
ing porn .as. a teenager..
What was once an adoles-
cent hobby became the'
'other woman' in our
marriage. At first it was .
our intimacy that suf- 1
fered. Then, his pastime
grew into an addiction
that then started to in-
clude more serious forms
of 'adultery.' He was go-
ing to strip bars and .
sleeping with prostitutes.
He was often late, with
poor excuses. I noticed
our money disappearing
and never suspected he
was spending nearly $500
a week to feed his addic-
tion."
 "Me? I felt responsible,
ugly, ashamed, alone and
hopeless. Why would he
look at another woman
unless I wasn't pretty or
sexy enough? Friends re-
jected my idea that his
porn use was ruining our
relationship. They told
me to be sexier, more sex-
ually responsive and
available so that he
wouldn't look elsewhere.
I tried all these things
only to find they didn't
work. I ended up feeling
l i ke a failure, as a wife
and a lover. Now I know
it wasn't me."
 "When we got help I
found out his pornogra-
phy use began before our
marriage, as far back as.
his youth. Not only was it
not my fault it had noth-
ing to do with me at all.
A after much counseling,
we both understand that
he entered our marriage
thinking I would cure all
his se\ problems. No
wonder he was so disap-
pointed and angry. We're
still together. We are liv-
ing proof that a pornogra-
phy or sex addiction does
not have to mean the end
of your relationship."

passed away on May 19, 2006, as a result of a motorcycle ac-
cident in Gainesville. Williams attended school at South.

tary stated. "He worked in the tobacco fields for my. father, '!
the late Wade Bullard, and my brother, Jerry Lawrence

light,' and he will be missed by many, including me."
