I pray this is seen by the intended audience.
Folks, you cannot love God and pornography. Your blogs should not have a bible verse proceeding some BDSM garbage. We cannot drink both the poison and the cure and best believe me when I say pornography is a poison. It is a poison of all aspects of your being and it will not grow into something wholesome with time, only give way to more vile evil.
With this said, I understand very well how hard it is to give up; pornography is so understatedly, mockingly perceived as a non-issue by the world today, yet its the world that pornography belongs to, and christian, we are not of this world.
But how do you quit something so powerful? I've heard it said before that "you are only as addicted as you want to be", yet without the Lord how could we hope to break free? I'm not saying it isn't possible to walk away from the stuff - especially when you know that you know better - but how often have we returned?
Truly, we must repent, we must go to the Lord for help and to help ourselves we must make behavioral changes: if your source is tumblr, give tumblr a break, unfollow blogs that feed the habit - block and report them, even - and if you are getting additional supplements from elsewhere (instagram, Facebook, etc), then follow suit. And when eliminating these sources from your life, understand that you can do it in small bursts daily - I know that I had to step away for a bit after dealing with just two or three some days because even in the act of repentance I was still feeling tempted.
You are not alone. God doesn't want you sinning, He wants you to walk with Him. Please change your ways, embrace Jesus and reject porn.
