When a woman forgets her dignity, what should be a man's response toward her?
Sadly, millions of men see the "adult" industry as nothing more than opportunity to take from a woman everything she is willing to offer them. Such men dismisses their duty to love women, hiding their shameful habits behind a single petty excuse: "She's willing to do it."

Have you been looking at pornography for years? Are you finding it practically impossible to overcome the habit?
Be assured that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more (Rom. 5:20). I recommend four steps that will help you resist the temptation in the future.
First, you must become a man of prayer. Prayer is essential for those who want to persevere in purity (this applies to women as well). In particular, go to Mass often, receive the sacrament of reconciliation whenever you fall, and develop a strong devotion to the rosary and to Saint Joseph. This is pretty much a one-two three punch for fighting temptation.

Despite what many modern sex educators may say, evidence shows that masturbation is harmful for both men and women. If you have ever taken a class in psychology, you probably learned about Pavlov's dog. Pavlov was a guy who rang a bell every time he was about to feed his dog. By doing this, the dog came to associate the bell with food, and would begin salivating at the sound of the bell. This is known as a trained response.

Should you tell your girlfriend about your porn problem, or should you continue to conceal it? I say neither. Instead of telling your girlfriend that you are hooked on porn and risk losing her, get rid of the porn, and tell her what you've done for love of her. If you truly love her, then you know that love is capable of very heroic acts. As I once read, a knight can not be brave unless he has love. His love gives him his courage.

Let's say you meet a beautiful woman, and the two of you become best friends. Before long, you're in love, and eventually you ask her to marry you. The two of you go off to your honeymoon, and return to discover that she's now pregnant with your first child, a little girl. When the baby arrives, you're the first to see her in the delivery room. Tears fill your eyes as you look at this miniature version of your bride. You're in love all over again, and you stand in awe of what you and your wife and your God have created. You raise her with love, teach her to ride a bike, and swoop her into your arms if she ever stubs her knee. She's your princess, and you're her king, and the both of you know it. Years go by, and you begin to raise a family.

The Truth about Masturbation |

Masturbation doesn't get rid of temptations any more than a prostitute does. Both may temporarily relieve sexual desires, but our goal as Christians is not simply to get rid of temptations. Our goal is to glorify God with our bodies. The idea that masturbation can be used to decrease sexual desires is like saying that lighter fluid can be used to extinguish a fire. If anything, masturbation incites lustful thoughts and teaches a person that he or she deserves--and needs--sexual gratification whenever the desire arises.
