.Sometimes when things get desperate we find that we have only one option but to take matters into our own hands. Okay, I promise that will be the one and only masturbation pun. You know how it is, I had to get it out of my system.

Which ironically is how people usually feel when they masturbate. That they have to get it out of their system. I know how that feels. I'm sure lots of you know...

When I was 14 years old the thought of going into my local magazine store and purchasing FHM, or Maxim scared the crap out of me. What if I saw someone I knew? What if I bumped into a girl from school? Of course it didn't matter. I still did it.

Now of course, you don't need to go into a store to buy porn. You can get it online completely free. But back in the late nineties before we had...

Usually when I write a blog I will try and come from a place of where I have some sort of experience. Now other than coming across S & M occasionally when I looked at porn, I have had no personal participation in it. So usually I would do a bit of detective work and research the topic online. But try having that conversation with your accountability partner when they receive your x3 report.

So...

In the movie BraveHeart, Mel Gibson armed with a sword, followers and a dodgy Scottish accent sought freedom for his people inScotlandfrom the English. And everyone knows if you want a villain inHollywood, an English actor i.e. Alan Rickman is usually the man for the job.

 All Mel...sorry William Wallace, wanted was his people to have the freedom from being ruled by another country. To be able...

Porn has been a big part of my life since I was about 13. From seeing my first downloaded image, building a collection of magazines to telling my friend for the first time when I was 23 and blogging and working with xxxchurch. Porn has been around, one way or another.

But for so long it seemed that I would not be able to shake the strangle porn had over my life. The never ending lust, the...

To sum up all that sex is about in one blog is as easy as describing how falling in love
works, in one word. It can’t be done. It can’t really be described fully. It has to be experienced.

Having said that, sex is amazing, incredible, selfless, unifying, scary, hard work,
mysterious and best of all, a lot of fun.

Fun?! That certainly is not what a lot of churches have taught sex to be. Dirty?...

Every time I hear someone's story of porn addiction I can find at least one thing that I can relate to. Without fail. But this should not be a surprise to any of us who have ever struggled. Because there are several things that everyone who struggles with porn, believes.

First off, that they are the only one who goes through this.

That is probably the number one common feeling among all porn...

The word “no” is a very tricky word. In some cases it can be a great word. In others it can be horrible. It can be positive and of course it can be negative. How and when we use it can really have a massive effect on our lives, and we might not even know it. It only has two letters but is arguably the most powerful word in the world.

For long periods of my life I used it in the wrong way. I...


 

Back in the day MC Hammer was telling us that we couldn't touch this. I was never quite sure what we weren't supposed to touch but I am sure it was good advice all the same. Maybe it was those trousers he wore. In which case perhaps he should have taken his own advice and stayed well away from them.

 

When it comes to porn there is not much better advice than 'you can't touch this'.

Is That All????

The school years are supposed to be the best years of your lives.

Which is quite a depressing thought if you think about it. Imagine you're 14, lots of pressure in school, you have bad skin, you can't get a girlfriend or a boyfriend and you don't wear the right clothes or look the right way.

And these are the best years of our lives?!

There are certainly people reading this who don't...
