What would you say to someone who’s getting older and has very little hope of getting married? Would it not be alright for this person to use masturbation as a sexual outlet?
Age does not allow for sin to change. Sin is Sin. I know that this is not the answer you where looking for but, it is the truth.
I was wondering if there were rehab centers for sex and porn addicts, like those for alcohol and drug users. I’ve been told about teen challenge, but that appears to be strictly for drug and alcohol use as far as I can see.
I have contacted numerous large churches across the country, and those that responded at all seemed to have no knowledge of such.
Are there such places, and how do I find them?
Thank you for your time.

Dear xxxchurch,
Following some amazing Christian counselling last summer I have been set free from my long standing porn addiction and have now been free for around 1 year.
My question really relates to how to train my mind back towards a more Godly way of thinking about sex. When my wife and I become amorous thoughts start flooding into my head about various forms of sexual immorality – the worst one for me is about threesomes which is almost ever present.
My wife is beautiful and I love her dearly, she’s more than enough for me and I would love to know how people go about healing their thinking following a porn addiction. I’m concerned that these fantasies carry such weight that one day we might carry it out and I really don’t want that.
Please help! Many thanks & Every blessing,
T
Tim,
As a recovering addict my self (5years) you will find this one to be one of the hardest things to kick. The reason is because your brain is trained now to think of these things when you are sexually aroused. It will take time for this stuff to be erased from your head.
You have taken the first step by not watching porn and that will go a long ways but, you mind is conditioned so it will pop up in some of the most unwanted times; work, church, and during sex.
The one thing I did with my wife was that we made an agreement that if I had these thoughts during our time together that I would tell her and then we would stop right then and there. It was tough because we both did not want to stop but, it was part of the re-training of my brain. Porn had stolen what God had intended sex to be like.
You will go well for a awhile and then next thing you know it pops up again. Just keep the same course and over time you will fill in your old sex brain with the new way of life.
