Author and counselor Steve Prokopchak, has posted two strategic articles: “Sexual Wholeness: Addressing Pornography,” parts 1 & 2. He is a leader and equipper with Dove Christian Fellowship International, based in Pennsylvania. The article lays out the issues clearly from the start:

“Let us establish from the beginning that when we look at pornography we are engaging in sexual immorality and dishonoring God’s design for intimacy within the confines of marriage: one man with one woman. Most importantly, pornography will never take us where God ultimately desires to take us in our walk with Him.” The article includes these headings:

• Statistics and the Issue of Pornography
• A Brief History of Porn
• Statistics and the Pornhub Website
• The Conditioning Process [5 steps down]
• How the Brain Undergoes Change
• How Does This [brain habituation] Actually Work?
• Escalation of Pornography Use
• Teenagers and Porn
• Porn Warps Our Ideas about Sex
• Porn Is Killing Marriages: Here’s How
• What Happens in the Soul Realm with Porn Use?
• Pornographers’ Dark Secrets
• What Does This Mean for Us?
• “But I’m Not Addicted!”
• Answers Are Available

The author concludes with offering hope:

“As discouraging and disgusting as all this may sound, we know that it is possible to break free from addiction to pornography. We need to give hope and tell people that there is a path to change and freedom. There is no sin that Jesus did not die for. Our spirit and our minds need to be cleansed by the blood that our Savior shed on the cross. Freedom is available.”

1 Corinthians 10:13 provides this promise: “No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].” – Amplified Bible translation

The second article presents a biblical solution for dealing with pornography and walking in sexual wholeness.
