Chirp blog has a link to a guy's blog who details some of his struggles with p*rn. Well, I checked out the link and sure enough this guy is baring his soul. One comment that he made that disturbed Chirp is something regarding how man look at women. This guy also says that all men in some way struggle with p*rn. Fortunately, I don't think this is true. While men think more about women and sex more often than women do, there are very many men who do not give in to sexual temptations, both physical and mental. You have to remember that in the Gospels, Jesus says that if a man looks on a woman a certain way, he commits adultery in his heart. I did/do take that very seriously as do very many men.

I once read a book called "Sin as Addiction." While I didn't take much away from the book, the title was catchy enough to stick. Sin is very addictive and chances are that once you give in to a particular kind of sin you will be plagued with it for a long time. St. Jerome is always an interesting example. This man had a few youthful indiscretions and he was never able to rid his mind of those kind of images. However,St. Augustine, who lived an unholy life in his pre-Christian time, seemed to have gotten over his issues and did not seemed to be plagued by images and thoughts.

I think that this guy that chirp refers to stepped into something that he is struggling to get a handle on, but this certainly is not the case with all men. However, I should note that p*rn is a major problem that needs to be addressed in society, among Christians and in the Catholic church.
