Parental Control for Twitter and the like

I just recently learned that Twitter (and possibly instagram/tumbler/etc…) do not filter explicit content the way Facebook does. People are allowed to post nude photos and even hardcore porn vines, and anyone can look at them without actually following the twitter feed. I also, in doing some research (basically typing “nude” into the search bar) I saw several options; one twitter is annonymous nudes and people can email themselves to an email account and they will have their own nude photos tweeted out, annonymously. Further, you can type other words, and find many more options. Is there anyway to keep kids from going to any of these explicit feeds (obviously you can see who they follow, but if they aren’t following the person they can still view the content)? Or can it be discovered what they are looking at? I know how to monitor browsers via xwatch but what about social media (since the actual site “twitter” is not pornographic)?

There is no way to trust that twitter is safe through a mobile APP.  The only way to protect your children from this is to have a filter on the computer or use X3watch mobile app and access twitter using a protected web browser- NOT the mobile app.  The mobile app is not safe.   Our team who have children using twitter do not allow them to access it via an app–only on a protected computer that has a filter installed.

I hope this helps!

How many times do I forgive my Husband?

Hi, My husband is an addict and we have been dealing with this our entire relationship. Every relapse, he admits to more sexual activity than he originally explained to me. We have spent hours talking, crying, praying and trying to heal. We have received counsel, joined XXXCHURCH and made a transparent relationship, ( or so I thought). Every couple of months, the pattern happens all over again and he promises it will be the last time. While I would like to believe him, I know that isn’t possible right now. The last time he relapsed, I was in the hospital with a serious illness. He chose to stay home and masturbate rather than visit me while I was alone at the hospital. At that point, I packed my bags and was headed to my Mom’s. Rather than leaving, we sought out counseling. This seemed to work and we grew closer. Our realtionship was healing and even our intimate relationship was improving. A few months later, I saw the emails from pronographic sites in his inbox and I received an alert from XXXCHURCH. He denied everything and became very distant. My belief is that he thinks I will leave so he won’t be honest. I am very hurt, broken, disappointed and exhausted. I know I am to forgive him, turn the cheek, support and love him. But at what cost? How mant times? Will nothing work? Knowing that he seeks out sexual circumstances that will hurt himself, me and our marriage is beyond my understanding and very damaging. What is my next step?

As mentioned to you in an email, I highly recommend the OCAH program for wives that Pure Life Ministries offers.  It is over the phone counseling for wives and let me tell you… it really saved my life and helped me get refocused on Jesus and get the biblical counseling I needed to face much of what you are facing.    I went through the OCAH program for wives 10 years ago and to this day I STILL lean on the counsel that was given to me.   It sounds like your husband may very well benefit from their live in program since so many efforts on his own at home have not been successful.

We also have resources for the spouse here on this site.
You may also find the community of Partners For Purity a blessing in this season!

Sex & Marriage

How do you keep your hopes up? Porn is a thing of the past for me. I hated it, it made me feel like the furthest thing from a man. But now I think about getting married. And I have these thoughts in my head, of my sisters saying “Guys fantasies are unrealistic”. I feel like saying “whats the point then?” How do you dream of having the marriage you want when you can’t even have what you dream for? Whats the point? I also love love love the idea of my wife having huge boobs or breast implants. But.. how the heck do you explain that to someone? “Hey would you be okay with getting a boob job”. Response, “Your a pervert!”. I’ve asked my family this and the common response seems to be “are boobs all that matter?” I’ve just been finding it real tough lately and I don’t know what to do. I find it even discouraging to consider dating, just because I feel like I’m gonna be let down.

 

I think you need to get with someone one on one to walk through some of this with.   We offer X3groups if you feel like there is no one in your life you can mull this over with.    Some of your desires are most likely a direct result of worldly influence or your porn use of the past.  Other desires may not be unrealistic at all.   I think the Lord is capable of bringing  you a wife with big boobs so I don’t think you need to be in despair over that.  Just sayin’
