Matt.6
[13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

2Pet.2
[9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

If anyone don't want to get delievered then do this.This goes for any kind of sin.1 Cor.5:9: I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:10: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.11: But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12: For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?13: But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Women on one side and men on the other - right?

I would be very interested in knowing the numbers and not sure where you could find them.

I think men are more into porn for the sexual gratification (the visual to stimulate).

Women are searching for that emotional connection and pictures don't do that for them - they need a live person to connect with.

I said it first!

But even at that, we know that for there to be porn for the man to view there must be a woman in the offering, and for their to be an internet affair for a woman to pursue their must be a man in the offering.

I guess I just find it difficult to believe that women would even enjoy viewing pornography....obviously some do, or there wouldn't be a need for magazines made for female subscribers...

And here's how I feel about continuing to discuss this topic:

Why? Is it because people are afraid of scandal? Of confrontation?
Do people fear man more than God?

1Ti 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

It took longer than I thought, but it finally showed up.

Great minds think alike!

"It is estimated that 200,000 Americans are addicted to porn....2/3 of them are men"

I agree. Especially since it has taken the "UPC" bashing turn.

God Bless!

I almost posted this earlier, but deleted it. I have to wonder if the increase is perversion (lesbianism) has caused this.

Some people are TOO sensative. There is not bashing there - just a statement.
