We're honored to be joined again by author and speaker Paul Tripp on the Aspastor John

podcast.

As we finish out this week, he is the author of the book Sex and Money.

Paul, we recently pulled DG readers on their use of technology and 8,000 of our readers

responded.

And those who admitted to an ongoing use of internet pornography, it was clearly a particular

struggle among men.

Women struggle at a far less rate, but for both men and women, the struggle is stronger

the younger the person, and almost 50% of men, 18 to 29, the youngest demographic that

we pulled, almost 50% of men here who read Desiring God, admit to ongoing struggles with

porn use.

But what's also interesting is that most of these men have accountability structures in

their lives.

So this is not a surprise to others.

Other people in their lives know this is a struggle for them.

So what would you say to a Christian man who is stuck and trapped in this powerful sin?

The first thing I would say, and I think this is very important, it's a cultural analysis.

I don't think we do these kinds of cultural analyses as much as we should.

You have to understand you now live in a pornified world.

Pornography is Western culture.

It's everywhere.

You'll never safely escape the pornographic influences of the surrounding culture.
