SAY N🚫 TO P*RN!
Since the advent of digital technology, the internet has affected so many children, teenagers and adults. Such effects have been positive just like making communication and business easier and faster. But, it's so sad that it has also done us more bad than good. P*rn*graphy is one of the bad eggs of the internet and it has destroyed and is still destroying a lot of lives. This article covers all you need to know about p*rn*graphy and also how to conquer it.
What is p*rn*graphy?
P*rn*graphy is the explicit literary or visual depiction of sexual subject matter; any display of material of an erotic nature. You can also call it any visual subject matter that brings up erotic pleasures.
Why is it so addictive?
P*rn*graphy is not something that should be taken lightly. This is because, when someone begins to watch it, it gradually leaves its trace in such person's mind thereby making it a habit. Quiting it is quite difficult;it stamps a strong urge in the mind even sometimes stronger than one's will power. But don't be disappointed by all what have been said earlier because there's a solution to every problem.
How to quit p*rn*graphy?
Make up your mind
You are a human. You have the right to choose between what's healthy for you or not. Choosing to quit p*rn*graphy involves more than just mere spoken words, it has to do with your mind set and also an irreversible decision to forsake it. It is sure that it is hard but maintaining the choice to quit it, constantly, in your mind no matter how strong it tries pulling you back is an excellent way to go.
Get yourself busy
I believe from experience that one of the strongest ways of killing the urge to watch P*rn*graphy is by getting your mind busy on something else. The urge to watch p*rn*graphy only comes when you are in your private place practically doing nothing or nothing busy enough to subdue it. You could do a lot of things to get yourself busy like going out and talking to people, taking a walk, watching TV programmes/movies (excluding romantic movies), watching funny videos, and anything else that can keep you busy.
Control your activities on the internet/social media
This is also a very important way to conquer pornography. Filter out explicit contents on your browser so as for you not to see erotic objects in your searches that might lure you back to p*rn. This method is very effective knowing very well that you visit the internet frequently especially if you are a teenager. Also, mind the kind of posts you view on social media platforms as it is very possible that watching an erotic picture, video or reading a text containing romantic words Just for 30 seconds can kindle the urge to watch p*rn.
Tell someone about it
This is surely going to be the most difficult one because here, you are asked to expose something you have been doing in secret for either months or even years. I know it is not easy. You might be scared of disappointing your parents or think that your friends will see you as a bad influence. But, that's not true because your parents will be happy and proud of you for deciding to expose such a confidential matter and also to quit such a bad habit. As for your friends, you should only tell it to those whom you believe are friends indeed.
Ask God to help you out
Addiction to p*rn*graphy is more than just a physical problem, it is a spirit. And that evil spirit keeps pulling you deeply into it by sometimes injecting erotic scenes in your thoughts or dreams. You might notice that most often when you "decide" to step out of it, you begin to have series of erotic thoughts or dreams that are stronger than they were before thereby causing you to fall back into the pit. All these are spiritual matters and only God can completely set you free from them.
