As of 2009: A professional Society of Divorce Lawyers has concluded that the Internet p addiction has beat financial problems becoming in this way the fastest increasing cause of divorce in America. And this is not a surprise considering that:

• 50% of the American men are accessing Internet p frequently.

In this way, families are affected:

• 47% percent of families said p is a problem in their home (Focus on the Family Poll).

• The Internet was a significant factor in 2 out of 3 divorces (American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers – divorcewizards.com).

Internet p has also a series of consequences on marriage. There is an exaggerated perception related to p and s--ual activity in society. This is a fact that is diminishing the trust between couples and the lack of attraction for family activities and even child rising. A sad truth is that an increasing number of people are struggling with uncontrollable and addictive s--ual behavior.

But p is not only affecting families but also workplace. Studies showed that:

• 70% of the online p access occurs during the 9-5 workday (Message labs monthly report);

• 61 million unique U.S. visitors are accessing p websites (on a specific month), every fifth visitor was from a office work station (Comscore Media Matrix internet tracking firm, SavannahNow.com article “P in the workplace”).

No one would like to be in this situation because facing with such a case could bring frustration and isolation. That’s why is important to provide support and advices for those who are struggling with this problems. In the end, this is an addiction and takes time and self-control to get rid of it.

You fellows can see the damage the pornographers have done and continue to do to marriages, relationships, families and good men.
Our men are being bombarded my more s--ually explicit image in a matter of hours than those of our ancestors saw in an entire life time. I am hoping both of you can free yourselves of this stuff and be the best men you can be. I don't want to add one more hard earned penny to the pornographer's purse. He can laugh at our suffering all the way to the bank, and not have a bit of remorse.
Let's make it a smaller pay day by at least 2. Hoping my h will also walk away from this stuff.

Keep thinking positive. I want you to be winners.
