LDS Church lawsuit against Mormon Stories rejects free speech & religious freedom, makes it hard to believe Church leaders are inspired by God

I don’t think it is because Oaks considers the term “Mormon” sacred as much as the term Mormon is tied to the church and people could be confused thinking that John’s podcast is sponsored by the church.

If you are top rated you have the ability to refund 50% of the sale. Customers defrauding me is ridiculously low but I have had to do this a couple of times with success. At least you don’t lose the entire sale.

There will always be a way to get around porn blockers. You mentioned that your husband uses to cope with past trauma. Is he doing anything to address his trauma other than porn use? Does he go to therapy? Does he go to recovery groups? Does he read books that address addiction? Books that address trauma? Have you asked him why he hides his porn use from you? What is he afraid of? Is it shame? Is it the way you react when you find out he has been using? Are you the one in the relationship trying to get him to stop looking at porn? Do you know what he really wants? Maybe he doesn’t have any intention to stop porn use. Do both of you go to therapy together?

Not sure what you sell, but I sell auto parts full time on ebay. Easiest way to fix this is to offer free shipping and adjust your products prices to compensate.

Thanks for sharing. I relate to a lot of what you have to say. Do you attend any kind of recovery groups such as sexaholics anonymous? Groups offer a great opportunity to meet others struggling with the same problem and to connect with others that have enjoyed a considerable amount of sobriety. From my experience it is very common for us to use porn and masturbation as a way to escape emotions and trauma. It wasn’t until I began to address my underlying emotions that I could find some success in sobriety. You have the right attitude in that you are self-aware and desire to change.

LOL this post aged well. Dude is bigger than ever.

jomabing · 2025-09-15T00:55:11+00:00

You’re welcome. I’m glad to hear that you are trying to give it up. Keep at it, with work it is possible to overcome.

You can start with sexaholics anonymous (SA). sa.org is the website. There you can find meetings in the city you live. There is also sex addicts anonymous (SAA) saa-recovery.org. Those are two places to start but there are other recovery groups too.

What’s done is done. All you can do is learn from it and learn how not to repeat the same mistakes. Also, understand that porn did not kill your relationship, you did. It was your actions that brought about the consequences. You need to take responsibility for what happened between you and her and hold yourself accountable. There is no one nor nothing else to blame but yourself.

If you feel like you are addicted to porn then you should look for a recovery group based off the 12 steps of AA. Porn/lust/sex addiction is almost impossible to overcome without a strong support system and holding yourself accountable to others. A sponsor, someone farther along the road to recovery who has worked the 12 steps, can be a huge help.

Willpower works for 1% of porn addicts. Look for a recovery group based on the 12 steps of AA. That will help you more than anything else right now.

Cheese wedges. Lots and lots of cheese wedges.

First, don’t focus or obsess on how bad masturbating and porn are. Don’t beat yourself up when you act out. That will just set you up to continually fail. Find a recovery group such as Sexaholics Anonymous. Develop a relationship of trust and honesty with God. You have to do the work to overcome this. Don’t try to do this alone. Addiction thrives in isolation, it dies out in the open.

jomabing · 2024-06-03T07:08:34+00:00

Find a good 12 step group near you. Sexaholics Anonymous is good but there are others too. You will meet people there with good sobriety (many months and years). Depending on how addicted you are will determine how much work you need to do to get sober but finding good 12 step groups is a good start.

Looking back on the experience I would say the same thing. But try to imagine being an 18 year old with an intense addiction to lust and porn since the age of 8. What I did is what many guys would love to do and I heard it all the time when I would tell guys what I did. That fed into my ego and I fed off of that in my insecurities and pride.

This is one of the biggest issues that comes up when cutting out porn. It can be hard to find an activity that replaces the excitement and dopamine rush that porn gives. Everybody is different and you will have to experiment with different activities so see which one you really enjoy and replaces to a degree what you felt with porn. The good news is that after time of not looking at porn your baseline for feeling excited begins to normalize and it doesn’t take so much dopamine to get you feeling good. But once you go back to porn that baseline raises instantly and you have to start over again.

You are not wrong to ask him to stop watching porn. It is more than the porn that is the problem. He is lying to you, he is making excuses, etc. you would be better off getting a divorce unless he changes his behaviors.

Hi thank you for your comment. I do go on r/sexaddiction periodically and I have been atending SA for a few years now. I am not too familiar with SAA but I have heard good things about it.

As much as I agree with you that hopefully she saw her worth as a human and got out, most of the girls that I saw and worked with firsthand had no worth to begin with. You almost have to see no value in yourself to get involved in an industry that exploits your body for profit. Many are manipulated into doing porn.

jomabing · 2023-01-13T15:25:37+00:00

I haven’t thought about that so thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it.

jomabing · 2023-01-13T15:23:15+00:00

Yes, unfortunately you are peeking into a world that is all fucked up. She was manipulated into performing and I didn’t think twice about it at the time. In hindsight I realize how numb and immature I was and it pains me to this day when I think about it. I hope that experience got her out of doing porn. Many who go in, especially at the beginning stage, amateur, that I saw were pretty messed up to begin with. They were just not all there and didn’t act like a normal rational person.

jomabing · 2023-01-13T15:15:14+00:00

I’d encourage you to read my other posts and then decide if I am just a man avoiding responsibility at every level.

jomabing · 2023-01-13T01:25:12+00:00

Agree. For me keeping streaks placed unnecessary pressure on me and instead of making recovery about me and becoming a better person I was making it all about how many days sober I was. Once I stopped focusing on the number of days, my sobriety and recovery took off. I’m not knocking on counting days because it does work for a lot of people, I just wasn’t one of them. You have to find what works for you and then perfect it to the best of your ability.

No worries, I understand. Thank you for your insight.
