Online Ads

Sex is everywhere in advertisements and commercials. But being an online kinda guy, I experience this truth mostly on the internet.

1. Ads for Games: If you come across an ad banner for an online game, I've discovered that there's like a 2 in 3 chance that it's gonna feature a half-naked female (I deliberately do not say 'woman')

2. Dating Ads: All those secular dating ads out there range from mildly to highly sexually suggestive

I just wanted to note how the female body is being (ab)used to lure people in and make a quick buck.

Temptation

And what about the temptation?

Yes, sometimes the temptation is very strong. Just one look, just one video. Oh, there are days where I want nothing more than to return to porn. But you know what keeps me on the way? The knowledge that there is something better than momentary gratification.

My trust is in God, that He will not forsake me.

[G]od is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
(1 Co. 10:13b, NIV)

Keeping Porn Out

Porn is everywhere. In shops, in libraries, in the public. And of course on the internet.

The internet has become the most convenient way of porn delivery. It's a big temptation for anyone struggling. What to do?

My advice is you install a filter that will keep you off the X-rated sites. I recommend K9 Web Protection. It's the one I use, it's fully customizable and it's free.

One important thing: Keeping the password to your filter with yourself will not help you much. Have an accountability partner keep it!

"I will set no worthless thing before my eyes."
(Ps. 101:3a, NASB)
