  • In this week's episode, we are joined by Jim O'Day, Executive Director of Integrity Restored, to discuss how real the battle against pornography is in our culture and the reason only evil thrives and benefits from it. We talk about proven methods for overcoming porn additions, and how men need to become aware and communicate more frequently about the dangers.

    I was addicted to porn for decades. I was able to overcome it completely by praying the Rosary daily and going to confession weekly

      my experience is similar, and now i see it as a diabolical force. the accountability and divine healing of confession and my priest's exorcism prayers healed me. psychology can't completely solve this issue, in my view.

    Please pray for me brothers! I just realized today I am a recidivist sinner who has committed the same mortal sins everyday for 10 years without trying to amend my life. I went to Confession in High School but I lacked a true purpose of amendment so now I think all my Confessions were sacreligious. Now I am really afraid of going to Hell. Please pray to God to have Mercy on me and please offer up penances for me to help me atone for my very sinful past. Thank you!

    Prayer, confession, receiving the Eucharist by attending Mass regularly. Also, reading about pornography and its effects as well as getting into a community who are struggling with and/or overcame pornography helps too. This is what will get you where you need to be in Christ before God by the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray for purity through our model of purity The Blessed Virgin Mary and her most chaste spouse St. Joseph are also very powerful.

    This may be posted below, but tons of women watch porn nowdays. On Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table (multigenerational show with her young adult daughter and her senior mom), all three had experiences with porn, and Jada herself admitted that she had had an "unhealthy" relationship it during a portion of her life. Kudos for them to touch on their real experiences and the negatives of it, though they didn't outright say not to get involved at all and had some positives to say about it.

      Let me give you an answer that you can understand how to defeat masturbation. Try and follow me how often have we heard a husband who wanted to have sex with his wife was turned down by his wife because she was not feeling well because she was sick.Let me give you an answer that you can understand how to defeat masturbation. Try and follow me how often have we heard a husband who wanted to have sex with his wife was turned down by his wife because she was not feeling well because she was sick.
      How often have you turned down sex because you weren't feeling well ? !!!
      Now think, when you weren't feeling well, did you feel like having sex ? No, you did not ,the passion wasn't there and the feelings weren't there !!!!!!! Do you follow me ? !!!
      When the body is not feeling well or is sick OR IS MADE TO NOT FEEL WELL the passion is gone, the desire for sex is gone !!!
      Now do you get it !! The demon that controls masturbation is extremely powerful Jesus told us, and the Traditional Catholic Church, that there are some demons who can only be defeated buy fasting (Mark 9- 29) and by what the church calls "the discipline" ( that is the wip) !!! In the case of powerful demons like this fasting and the whip the discipline must be used along with prayer.
      NOTE : if your Bible in Mark 9:29 does NOT say fasting along w/prayer then you are not using the Catholic bible and the only Bible. It's a mortal sin for any Catholic to use any other Bible than the Catholic Bible !!!
      Saint Hilary says bodies corrupted by lust are The Dwelling Places of devils.
      Matthew 5:28 to 29
      Now the worst thing that you can do with masturbation is to keep using the/your same answer that you've been using for so so long and it never works. You have given enough time and trial to the old solution it's time for change !!! it's time for a new answer. And believe it or not the traditional catholic church does teach this principle if what you're doing doesn't work overtime then the traditional Catholic faith teaches you have a duty to try something different stop making the same mistake over and over and over again with the same answer it doesn't work. You have to kick it up a notch or two or three or four you have to put a little bam to your prayers and that is where fasting, Mark 9:29 and “the discipline” (the whip) come into play. The demon you're fighting is extremely powerful, but Jesus gave us the answer, the reason why you haven't stopped masturbating is because you haven't embraced “fasting” and “the discipline”. And when I say fasting, I don't mean today's Vatican to church fasting !! I mean the traditional Catholic fasting !! “bread and water” don't try and swindle God on the fasting !!!! Like today's Vatican 2 church does.
      Needless to say you should limit, your exposure to the opposite sex. You must start the process of censoring everything and anything on TV including your cell phone no more going to the Public beach and avoid people who dress liberally and provocatively.
      Now one last thing masturbation is a grave sin but even if you manage to stop doing that you're still going to go to hell for embracing the Vatican 2 Church. There's no way around that the Vatican to church has over 200 heresies so getting rid of masturbation is not going to help don't get me wrong I'm not endorsing it but you've got a lot of work to do.

    it happened to someone I know. Starting as a kid she was addicted to the 'm' word; and then when she got older and couldn't find a good Catholic man to date or marry her, she objectified men with pr0n as 'revenge'... and was hooked for years. After repenting and going to confession she STILL has struggles with temptation, her life is never the same, for a while she couldn't even look at a man without the intrusive thoughts flooding in. It's so sad. She's still single to this day. All that pr0n was a WASTE of time. But at least she found out now and not in hell.

You didn't even mention that there are deacons and priests who are struggling with this addiction. In fact, you didn't even use the word "deacon" once. Please reply, because I feel left out of the discussion, and I'm sure that there are other priests and deacons who are struggling with this.

    I think prayer simply puts you in the right frame of mind to make changes and to persist.
    And when the heavy lifting, dieting, 10k steps a day, produce great results, God gets the glory/gratitude.
    Roughly one million people commit suicide every year. God could very easily fix the core of their problems overnight. I think it's obvious that God's set of priorities strictly revolves around himself. A lifetime or an eternity of misery mean nothing to him. God sucks. If you're thriving and happy, it's YOUR doing (or you're inherited from folks who made it big)

    So, how do we help men deal with celibacy for life? 90% of single men and 1/2 of married men will need to be celibate for life. Sex will not be available to them because they won't ever be married, or their wives refuse sex (dead bedroom), or their wives leave them.
    How do men give up that part of themselves? That's a LOT of men. And yes, I can prove this. How do we help men give up their sexuality? It's give up their s3xuality...or use porn/masturbation.

      Hey Joseph, Thanks for checking in. You likely did not watch the entire episode. I would argue that you need to get into the reality of the 21st Century. Studies in 2014, 2015, and on have proven that porn induced erectile disfunction are on the rise among men as young as 28. This is likely on the low side, but statistics estimate close to 4.8 Million women are sex trafficked into the porn industry. Marriages are ruined daily by pornography and women are objectified and seen as products not humans in the process.
      With all of the above, it would be the opposite of help and bettering society to just "mind your own business", that we will not do.
      This is all just scratching the surface.
      You are obviously not Catholic since from a faith perspective it always has been, is, and always will be evil.
      Check out this non-religious site to better educate and inform yourself since you have a lot of misunderstandings and blind assumptions aimed at justifying your personal desires regardless of who it hurts. fightthenewdrug.org
