Practical help

How can we make sure not give in to web porn enticements? One suggestion: Be prepared! Know how YOU discover web porn enticements (see your answers to question 3 above).
1. If accidentally, be on guard for sneak attacks, such as porn sites showing up on legitimate web searches. Commit in advance to steer away from such sites if you discover them unintentionally.

2. If you discover web porn enticements purposely (i.e., you seek them out), find a godly friend to discuss the temptation with. Ask your friend to encourage you to say No to web porn. This may be enough help. If not, consider also asking your friend to hold you accountable for saying No to web porn.

Many men have used these methods to resist web porn. They're cheering you on to do likewise. You can do it!
