Ive been pursuing a truly Godly woman who had a wonderful relationship with her father. I'm 50 and never married. Have problems with porn and mastur well you know. I'm wondering if ED is creeping in? Help what do I do? I've heard ED is related to emotions some how. I've looked at porn before to make sure that that part of my body still works!

LAW,

Sorry--would you mind explaining the abbreviation ED? "Erectile dysfunction"? If so, I wouldn't concentrate it. Concentrate on the relationship. If it leads to marriage, and if ED pops up again in that context, that will be the time and place to address it.

Just a few comments from a girl whose been on the "other side" of the porn issue.

1. Does this woman know about the porn? If not, I would HIGHLY recommend you open your mouth and say something. Preferably AFTER you get in a support group, accountability group, etc. I say that order because you at least can say, "Look, this is an ongoing problem but here's what I'm doing to correct it". If you two get married and you've hid this from her ... big storm on the horizon.

2. As far as the ED -- it's emotional AND physical (to some degree) as far as porn usage goes. What you do first is stop the p & m usage/habit period. Your body can never recover (I'm thoroughly convinced of this one) unless you stop the behaviors and repent and work towards reconciliation with God. Emotionally and physically, you've been bonding with photos and fantasies. Your body has been releasing huge amounts of hormones that have a direct effect on your brain function (emotions) and also your physical function.

Will be praying!
