Reasons Men Like Porn
This is a long essay, but well worth the time if you are trying to understand why pornography has such a strong pull on you or someone you know.
It also is a really good starting point for how to help a friend. If you are someone’s “accountability partner,” take a look.
The bullet points are these:
- Porn is easy, but relationships are hard.
- Porn is comfortable, but life is stressful.
- Porn is exciting, but life is boring.
- Porn makes men feel powerful, but real life makes men feel powerless.
The essay points out several good thoughts about the relationship that forms between a man and his pornography habit — whether it’s a full on addiction, or just a steady companion that just doesn’t quite go away.
Porn lies to us. We know it lies to us. We want it to lie to us, even though it kills us.
The power of the lie is strong and will only be broken if we become intentional warriors.
