"Avoid Pornography like the Plague!"
-Gordon B. Hinckley.

I strongly believe in that. In my life I ask myself, what if I had not ever looked at pornography or done any serious dating until 16? It would have saved me a lot of grief. Pornography is destructive, it leads men to become captured in their desire to feed an addiction. And anyone's fantasies of a loving future companion become distorted into delusions of fantasies. Imagining that the things the they see done will satisfy the forest fire of their addiction, but it never does. And can only leave them empty. I've had my run-ins with it. Now I turn my head when I see someone dressed immodestly. I don't want to think any of those thoughts. I avoid bad thoughts by prayer, religious study, and abstaining from doing anything that would excite those emotions of addiction. I am happy without it. Happier than I ever would be with it, in any allowance.
