New Life Ministries has a good program on Family Talk channel on XM. The callers tell heart-wrenching stories about husbands addicted to porn.

But I think we only hear half the story and half of the solutions.

Much like "Promise Keepers", New Life Ministries focuses too much on only the man and what he needs to do to protect a marriage.

I'm of the opinion that the problem is not porn as much as it is lust. A wife leaving Victoria's Secret catalogs and Cosmo lying around provides just as much temptation to lust after other women as me looking for porn on a PC. (And in my opinion, a VS model in a sexy garter and stockings is far more exciting than a skank in a porn flick)

My point: marriages are a partnership. A problem with one is a problem for both.

Well, there's the problem. Rather than leave the catalogue lying around, the wife should be buying the stuff in the catalogue. Four out of five husbands surveyed prefer the real thing to the picture.

Fred (the author of the book) agrees with you. He said he viewed everything from these catalogs (or even newspaper ads) to 'porn' magazines/movies. He says he was addicted, and he recommends men avoid anything that causes you to be unfaithful (not full of faith) to your wife.
