Pornography is sex bereft of love and compassion. It makes mockery of physical intimacy. Men and women are reduced to beasts who engage in sexual acts for the rush and purely physical enjoyment of sex. Sex performed within the bounds of marriage and holy matrimony is honest, pure and sincere. It is made born out of mutual love and respect between husband and wife. Pornography on the other hand, turns people into mere physical objects that lack emotion and morality. It destroys all the good things physical intimacy stands for. People who are lured to pornography develop a twisted perception about love making and become focused on the physical aspect of the act.
For many individuals who become addicted to sex due to exposure to pornographic materials, they feel trapped and hopeless. They do not believe that they can be cured of their affliction. These self defeating mindsets plunge them deeper into sex addiction as they feel they are powerless to escape from it.
The truth of the matter is, there is hope and it can be cured. Strong will and honest appreciation of oneself will help an individual realign his wrong perceptions and beliefs about sex. Below are some helpful tips on how to drive away excessive sexual thoughts and cure an insatiable craving for sex.
1) You are a significant human being. Imagine yourself to be someone who has great qualities and attributes. Believe that you are a special and important person. To aid you better in internalizing this concept, pretend that a great person is honouring you for your outstanding qualities. Visualize that this person is making you feel important and loved. Feel that you now belong to a special and elite brotherhood and thank that person.
2) Believe that you can overcome this. There are people in the same shoes as you are who are also afflicted with this condition and who are also willing to take affirmative action to rid themselves of these destructive behaviours. Do not feel alone in this battle. Believe that other people like you need help. Fuel your motivation with thoughts that many people are behind you and wants you to succeed.
3) You have a mission to fulfill here on earth. Believe that you have an amazing future ahead of you and that addiction is only getting in the way of you realizing your true potential. Let positive thoughts flood your mind. Imagine yourself reaching out to other people and helping them. Know that without addiction your life would a whole lot better and that doors of opportunity would open themselves up to you.
