My question to you, is how (if any) pornography played a role in your turn to homosexuality. Much venom on the threads of such subjects with little real life experiences (that anyone would admit at least) leave me wondering. I have always been under the conclusion that pornography does have a role in leading men/women astray. As with the father figures in now days society being absence (and even those left are not always true fathers as Jesus means them to be)..
Will please take a few minutes of your time and help me understand if pornography did have an influence on you. I know this will be a individual testimony and not all inclusive, but I am curious.
I will go first
My personal testimony is (as a young 10y/o) kid we (neighbor boys) found a stash of someones nudie comics and pictures (light porn by todays standards). Masturbation age comes around and I as a lot of kids did my fair share of lusting/sinning. Normal kid stuff, but at a young age, I know it was not right. Grew older, the addiction warranted going across the state lines to buy girly mags. I got a little older (early/mid 20's) and on my own, and discovered it took more to get the same effect. Hard porn... Fortunately my Jesus planted a seed in my heart that it was wrong. So basically after being put on conviction, I stopped doing it. Met a sweet beautiful Christian (whom I had prayed for years for the Lord to invite into my life) and got married (12 years ago). For the most part I have gave up pornography of all types (rededicated myself to the Lord, backsliden) , but still those memories that I took years to jam into my head are still there though faded with time. (There is a Bible verse about this somewhere).
So as a personal testimony I know porn is addictive. So, in basis I want to know if you went the same route in your life and if a porn addiction manufested into homosexuality.
I know this is very personal, if you had rather FR me, that is fine. If you had rather not respond, that is fine also. BTW.. that other fellow was just plain rude IMHO .... I for one appreciate your frankness in this matter.
I am proud that most of the posters on this thread have gave very valuable and thought out responces/input.
BTW... my Mother in Law just died tonight, so I may not be able to respond very fast in the next few days. But I don look forward to your responce. Please pray for us, my wife is quite heartbroken.
