Understanding the struggle is not easy.
Picture a man caught up in the tangled mess of pornography, masturbation, and acting out sexually. How did he get there?
Every glance entertained, every click on those sites, and every moment of giving in disguised as euphoric bliss represent traps of despair and dissatisfaction.
Each battle lost slowly distorts his brain chemistry and mood, dragging him down a dark road filled with shame and depression.
If another were doing this to him, we would call it an abusive relationship. But the puzzling thing here is that he’s doing it to himself.
Sexual compulsions impact relationships.
For the married man, this behavior injects physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational poison into his marriage. This poison removes the unity and love a marriage needs to stay healthy and flourish.
For the single man, it ruins his ambition to seek out a wife and completely distorts how he sees the women in his life or the strangers he meets, making it almost impossible to respect them and keep his mind clean without expecting something sexual from them.
The big lie is that this sexual behavior will fulfill the man’s every need, but it’s moving the man further away into darkness, twisting his mind and heart in the process.
Winning the battle is possible.
Some men know they’ve been losing the battle and have become content taking the Loss. It’s time to take some wins.
Compulsive sexual behaviors being unstoppable is one of the oldest lies ever told, and you don’t have to believe it anymore.
Conquering these behaviors will let you run in freedom and fulfillment and truly connect with others. But if you’ve tried before and failed, it’s time to get help.
Integrating scripture in therapy makes a difference.
At Luminous Christian Counseling, I combine therapy with scripture to help you shine a light on the darkness behind the scenes.
I help you understand how you’re currently thinking about sex and sexual behaviors, see what’s pretending to be the truth that’s a lie, and help you gain the courage necessary to get rid of the behaviors that are hurting and make a practical plan for running toward the light and living free of sexual bondage.
God has a beautiful plan for sexuality, and the world’s got it more twisted than a telephone cord from the 90s. What’s key is knowing what His excellent plan is and is not for you.
With some practical steps and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, we can break you free from the trap of sexual addiction. This journey will steer you toward the kind of sexual wholeness God intended.
Doing nothing has consequences.
Ignoring this issue won’t make it go away.
Addiction to pornography or sexual activity has real consequences. It wrecks your bond with your wife; brings on dark, intrusive thoughts; and makes you crave more extreme content to get stimulated.
This path only leads to more emptiness and inner decay.
The deeper you go, the harder it is to crawl out. Healing is urgent – the longer you wait, the more challenging it gets.
