inappropriate contentography is an addiction. Chemicals in your brain are produced. It happens by continued use of it. Quit while your ahead. Use the filters on you computer or parental controls.
Abstinence is a good thing and good for character building. Learn, get the strength to resist. Many human problems ar caused by not waiting for mairrage to both men and women. Take your time and grow and mature. Marriage is good if you are with the right person.
So far so good. inappropriate contentography does mess with a person's brain chemistry. Even a little bit. The cumulative effect is terrible on a human brain. Even the 'soft' stuff. So avoid it.
Your next paragraph is problematical. I almost reported your post because it is so flawed. But I wanted to offer a correction rather than just have your post removed.
Sex is the norm, but some have the gift of going without.
This is true. Some do have the gift of celibacy
But here is where you run into trouble.
Don’t be a priest or a brother it unnatural and they have many problems later in life.
The above is wrong because some people really do have the gift of celibacy and for them they can live a celibate life without problems. Same for religious sisters. Some can do it. Some can't. What is necessary is a long discernment to see if such a life works for you or does not work for you. If you don't have the gift but you try anyway it can be a problem. It shows up as sexual abuse or a failed ministry or a priest wallowing in inappropriate content. THAT is unnatural. But some people, with care and control, are happy and fulfilled and celibate. Being a priest or brother or sister is not unnatural for them. It is one of the ways they fulfill their vocations in life. Celibacy is OK for those called to it. For those not called it is dangerous.
This world is sex crazy and so many people some have turned to abstinence and the Lord.
Turning to abstinence and turning to the Lord are two different things. Turning to the Lord one should turn away from sin, and thus from every sexual sin such as looking at inappropriate content or any other kind of sexual sin. But becoming asexual is not the goal of the Christian life. Ordering your Christian life to have a healthy sexuality is one of the goals of the Christian life. So a temporary abstinence can be a good thing for most people who are called to marry and have children. Not a permanent abstinence. You were not clear about that. The overarching word is a very 'old-fashioned' word, and that is chastity. Chastity before marriage means abstaining from sex. But also forming a healthy sexuality in preparation for marriage. Chastity in marriage means plenty of sex, but healthy, self giving, exclusive, committed, respecting fertility and potency.
The Bible says you can serve Him better single.
And yet does not condemn marriage.
I wanted that gift when younger. Asked him to take my sex drive too. He said the single life is better- for some.
It is better for some. Not for even the majority though. What is necessary is to develop a sexuality appropriate to your calling, with temperance and modesty and purity appropriate to one's age and one;s calling. Sex is not bad. It is not the Christian message to say that sex is bad. It is good. A good that needs to be properly indulged by waiting before marriage and always with chastity if one is young, if one is called to celibacy, or if one is called to marriage. We are not promoting the Junior Anti-Sex League from the book 1984. Julia in that book was a walking hypocrisy. If anything Christianity, and Catholicism in particular, teaches a pro-sexual message that the world cannot handle. Some of our priests and bishops and cardinals can't even handle it. But the teaching is true.
Try serving the poor in st Vincent de Paul or Salvation Army. Lay ministry to obey Gods word is good.
This is actually good advice. Helping others is a good curative for too much concern about one's self. And it can help in building a healthy sexuality because a healthy sexuality is about service. An unhealthy sexuality is all about self-indulgence, about using others. inappropriate contentography is about using others, not caring for their persons, but using their images to obtain a psycho-chemical high all by one's self. Service to others is kind of the opposite.
To summarize then: A life of chastity is the goal. And that is a life that forms a healthy sexuality. We either develop that or we are on the way to living a train wreck. Some of us are called to celibacy and that is good for us. Most of us are called to marriage and family, and that is good for us. inappropriate contentography does not help, and only hurts in our development of a healthy sexuality. Every sexual sin hurts us.
