I’ve been told off before by non-Christians for talking about ‘secret things which go on in the bedroom’ because that’s none of my business. Fair enough point of view, but it’s clear that pornography has a detrimental effect on relationships, self-esteem, jobs, finances, and the perception of women today.
It seems that there’s been a flurry of activity on a bunch of Christian blogs recently with resources for this, so I thought I’d try to gather some of them here, in case people would find them useful.
A selection of excellent 60-day courses which really work at Setting Captives Free
Thabiti Anyabwile on gypsy moths
A long, but very good scientific article on the addictive effects of pornography
Breaking the addiction – parts one and two
Justin Taylor’s list of fantastic resources
John Piper – a sermon, and the ANTHEM blog post
Mark Driscoll’s Porn Again Christian book
Tim Challies’ Sexual Detox for single guys and married guys
30 pages of research on porn’s effects
Randy Alcorn on the cost of pornography
That’s all for now. Hope it helps someone.
We cannot deny the fact that the number of people hooked and trapped in pornography is increasing. A sad reality that we as concerned individuals have something to do to save these people from porn addiction. Yes, you’re definitely right that porn addiction is a big threat to anyones relationship, self-esteem, jobs, sense of purpose and the insight of women. To make it short, pornography ruins the life of its victim.
I am glad to know that I’m not the only one who exert efforts to give hopes with those porn addicts to have a a better new life. I believe that this advocacies of ours is something that we should pursue for it is truly needed to lessen these rampant cases of porn addiction.
I would like to add this site of Alex Wolf for I found this very helpful to stop porn addiction.
Cheers to you!
As a wife, I understand this challenge in marriage. We have successfully been using an “accountability program” that has truly blessed our efforts. Great resource at Covenant Eyes.com

Sam, thank you so much for your reply. I am going to be posting a series on this.
What is so very sad is there are some things people are addicted to that they don’t recognize as bad or even as addictions. I pray that this will help open some eyes as well as help others to being set free from their shackles of slavery.
I will use your links. I knew about Setting Captives Free. There are some terrific 60-day courses there.
Thank you, again.
Gina
Great List. I am going to add some of the ones I don’t have to my site as well!
Thanks again!
