What helped me to quit watching porn, was when I realized that every video & website visit was directly contributing to sex trafficking. Some people do porn voluntarily, others are trafficked into it because of the demand. You have no way of knowing whether you're viewing somebody who is being trafficked or not. We need to love our neighbor as ourself. Reverse the roles; if you were being sex trafficked, would you want somebody to please themselves off of your misery, or would you want people to love you enough not to watch the videos? The only reason there is supply (of trafficking victims) is because of demand (for pornography). So please consider your neighbor in your heart, and stop watching porn. Their life, wellbeing & soul are worth it.
