• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I did not realize this was a tightly managed forum. Good. Because the forum could be abused.

At any rate, in addition to the other thread started under this topic... our compromises and our ignorance to sexual indulgences every day contribute to our failures. Think of a alcoholic who cannot take a drop of liquor or it's off the wagon and into the gutter for days and week on end.

You have greater will power than you know. But you have to use it far sooner than you think. At a level of sexuality that most are desensitized to and the world scoffs at and mocks when you try to point out it is in fact sexuality.

Advertisement would flounder without it. Sex sells, people say. But when you point out what it is that is actually sex, they scoff. They mock. And believers and strugglers with addiction join in and mock or shoot down the messenger.

But sex and sexuality are thrust upon us all almost continuously. And with our buttons being pushed sometimes subliminally sometimes brazenly all the time it throws us into addiction and moral failure and dysfunction or increasing perversion.

This is not passing off blame. This is identifying the problem. Homes are wrecked. Lives ruined. So people can have their peep shows...

God says not to indulge or be exposed to these things for a very good reason. For lots of good reasons. But it ruins lives. And that's the biggest reason. It ruins many many lives.
