How do I battle lust in temptations that are subtler than porn?

It's a question I see often from men in talking about swimsuit issues and lingerie catalogues.

This particular question comes into us from an anonymous man.

Hello, Pastor John.

Three years ago, I turned away from porn for the final time.

A perennial struggle for my life for the better part of a decade between ages 16 to 26.

I'm now married and have not looked at porn for three years.

I can only say it's a victory from the Lord to find deliverance in Christ from the bondage.

In recent months, however, I'm Lord to images of women in female marketing campaigns.

My wife gives a number of catalogues from companies that make female workout clothes and

lingerie.

We're putting a stop to those mailings as much as possible, but a lot of them simply

show up.

It feels like the same allure as porn, the same challenge, maybe less immediately dangerous,

but very similar.

I don't want to undersell this struggle.

What advice do you have for those of us who have experienced victory over porn?

Now tempted by subtler and less scandalous objects of lust like this?

Well, may God get the glory now and from everyone who listens to this, there are stories

of triumphs like this.

There are.

They're there by the thousand and we shouldn't be totally discouraged when we hear all
