I am grateful to have heard the warning voice to avoid pornography for as long as I can remember. From everything I have heard and read about it, it is a powerful addiction that can and does destroy relationships. It has damaged the homes of close friends, and I want nothing to do with it. It is important to avoid it entirely, and do everything I can to stop it from ever entering in my house.
