It might be better to be seen as a recovering addict than someone that has everything perfect.

not really. although that is okay too.
Sometimes it is better to be seen as a recovered addict who still has the
scars on body and spirit, but has been set free by God.
Granted, extreme stress will still occasionally kick off an assault on the
addiction that you once had. I expect that it is a case of Satan knowing
that it worked before, so hit'em there again.

just because a person is unable to have sex doesn't mean that they don't have sexual lust or desire.

lol, well actually in some cases they don't have the desire, but that still begs the question.

What is watching porn going to do to someone that can't have sex? Just fuel his frustration? If a man can't have sex watching porn is not going to help that man

Single people have sexual lusts and desires, too. They still shouldn't be watching porn.
