Pornography and Guilt

Pornography and Guilt

Do you feel guilty about looking at porn? Probably. Why? If you are a man in a love relationship with a woman, you probably feel guilty because she does not approve. She does not want you salivating over the beautiful bodies of younger women with whom she cannot compete. Most of our guilt pertaining to porn comes from religion. Maybe you are an atheist but somewhere in the fabric of society you have been influenced by religious teaching that finds porn to be inappropriate or just downright sinful. My question is “To whom do you talk about your guilt over pornography?”

Guilt can be very destructive to your own psyche. Therefore, you need to find peace on the subject. Talking to a minister is probably not the best idea. I would say that 99.99% of Christian ministers would tell you that porn is a sin and you should avoid it period. Yet, if your guilt comes from conflicts with your religious beliefs, who would know enough on the subject of guilt as much as a minister? You could talk to a counselor, but would you feel that his or her solution would rank with that of an ordained minister? Worldly wisdom is not the same as religious wisdom of the ages. May I suggest you find a professional counselor who is or has been an ordained minister in the past. I am such a person. In my prayers with Jesus I find more reason than judgment.
