People Who Hurt...
"I have a very serious problem. I've spent about $400 on prostitutes, engaging in sex. My second wife told me that I failed to satisfy her. Our marriage was dissolved in 1997. Since that time, I have done the acts described above. My Pastor told me that I would be married again, but I now believe that these sins have caused me to lose out on this blessing. I'm 55 and a half. I really need prayer. I go for months without thinking about sex, then; I find myself looking at Internet porn, and this leads me to commit the sins described above. I NEED HELP PLEASE; SOMEONE PRAY FOR ME!"
People who don't believe in God...
"First, I want to say that I think your site (XXXChurch.com) is very good. I am not a Christian. I do not believe in your god either. In fact, most Christians, and most religions have the "Believe the way I do or you will die" mentality.
That being said, I think our society needs to talk more about the wrongs of porn. I can say this first hand; I went to jail because of porn. I lost my life, career, wife and friends because of porn.
Women who look at porn like Darcy...
About 3 years ago I discovered "cyber sex". No one knows about this struggle I have. I have two great kids and a great husband but during the day when I am at home by myself I turn on the computer and become anyone I want to be. I don't have anyone to talk to because no one will understand.

Young girls...
Please Help, I really need prayer right now. I'm only 12 and I struggle with an addiction to pornography. Satan is using this against me by not letting me sleep unless I look at porn and if I actually do get to sleep he gives me nightmares and I can't get back to sleep. So when I get to sleep I get very little rest. Please keep me in your prayers! I'm sitting here crying looking at a bottle of sleeping pills and rubbing alcohol. I don't know what to do... please, God, help me.

People with shattered dreams...
I found some disturbing stuff on my hubby's computer from the saved file for instant messenger stating he wishes he never married me so that he could date again, talking to the girl about nude pictures and seeing her in heels and telling her he will "do" her all night. I have been crying constantly about this. I feel like he has ripped my heart out, spit on it, pooped on it and set it on fire to turn to ashes. I am about to talk to him about this with the proof I have from his computer.

As you can see from these emails—pornography addiction CAN happen to anyone. But God wants so much more for all of us.
