Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

 

Passage: Genesis 2:25*

25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

 

Questions

1. Why were Adam and Eve naked without shame?

 

2. Is it possible for modern people to do the same?

 

3. How do you feel after viewing Web porn?

 

Practical help

To see how Web porn affects you, answer these questions with a yes or no:

1. Do you view Web porn when you think no one will disturb you?

2. If someone enters the room while you are looking at pornographic sites, do you try to hide what you're doing?

3. Have you ever lied to someone about looking at Web porn?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, your behavior suggests that Web porn makes you feel shameful. Nonetheless, Scripture says that God can redeem shame. Ask God to forgive you for your actions and receive the grace He offers. Many people have done the same - all the way back to Adam and Eve.
