A good friend can always be there for you.
Is that what porn can turn into?
Before you discount that statement, think about it.
What makes a friend?
In Toy Story there is a song titled “You Got a Friend In Me”, look at the lyrics…
You’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
If you’ve got troubles, I’ve got ’em too
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it’s me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You’re gonna see it’s our destiny
You could come up with a list for what makes a good friend…
Common Interests – enjoy the same things.
Common background/history – went through stuff in the past together.
Similar interests or values – have the same standards and views on different things.
Equality – You can depend on each other and no one needs any other benefits. You support and encourage one another.
Makes you happy – You enjoy each other’s company.
Is porn a friend to you?
Porn can be there for us.
We get to like what we like about it.
We don’t have to worry about being rejected.
We decide what is normal to look at and what it not.
We enjoy how we feel when we spend time with porn.
It’s a friendship were we get to decide the limitations and not have to deal with consequences, at first.
It’s part of the problem with porn.
Soon it’s not good enough and we have to find new stuff that entertains us.
A true friend makes us a better person.
Does looking at porn make you better?
How do you feel when you are done looking at it?
Guilt, anger, loneliness and depression can take over, because porn isn’t making us better as a person, it’s making us worse.
What is porn to you?
Is it a true friend or is it a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Porn can hurt more than can lead on.
Maybe it’s time to move on and find a better friend.
Porn is not your destiny and it’s not a friend in you.
Time to move on.
