Hi steve,
I do agree to that to some extent, in most of the cases of porn affected I've seen I have seen that people tend to ask for change that that change may actually led to people visiting gay sites.
This could also be a result of curiosity but later some of them tend to get addicted may led to change of sexual preference.
Steve, I agree with you. I think many times while looking for porn on the internet, a person may come across something they never originally intended to look at, and this can have a lasting and damaging effect on them.
That is why this addiction is a slippery slope, once you start down the path, you never know where it will lead you and where you will end up. There are so many terrible and gross things out there that can really distort our view of the world.
I would encourage you to be vigilant and never look at these sorts of things again. It may be difficult at first but I think that it will get easier over time. You can always come here and post when you get tempted.

I knowfor a fact it will! The mind has bounds once it's hooked. I personally have sought out guys. Thanks to the Lord I haven't went all the way! I must have wire crossed somewhere in my brain! I never go out alone drinking because of my fear of what I may do under the influence. BoBo
It is good that you actually realize and you are doing something from your side to prevent things from happening. Try to keep your mind away from these things , and never give into the temptation of visiting one of those sites as if you keep on watching them then eventually you may do something that you may regret for the rest of your life. So stay strong and fight your desire or curiosity whatever you may call it.
I would say the best way to handle temptations would be by taking conscious preventive measures, you would need to analyze what situations may act as triggers and how you would handle them, like you could avoid staying alone when you are idle or when you really need to be then try and keep your mind occupied by something constructive. This is more of individual stuff as things that may keep me occupied you may not find them intriguing.

I have benn there. i have allowed myself to become part of situations where I have been exposed to STDs and rape. I have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life.
Hi Andrew - welcome to the board! Your story sounds like a sad one...Do you think that porn had a role to play in those events in your life? If you are up for it you should tell us a little more about yourself over in the Recovering Addicts Forum. I'm glad you are here, and hopefully together we can help each other grow stronger each day. Have a great weekend,
-Light
