Boundaries are very important to me. I want to live in a peaceful loving and safe environment, and out of my love of my marriage, out of my love for my husband, out of love for myself, and out of love of my children, these are things I mentally and physically need in order to stay safe and maintain health and stability.

Latter Day Saint: Helpful Consequences, Repentance and the Process of Becoming Worthy
Are Consequences and Repentance Required for Worthiness?
LDS Mormon Quotes
Why Are Consequences Helpful?
If Alma the younger never felt the pains of hell, and was racked with
the eternal torment in remembrance of all his sins, do you think he would
have had such a great change of heart? Would he have understood all that
he had done wrong? I myself never would have gotten sober without going through the pains of hell.
Many times bishops, leaders and loved ones unknowingly enable an addicts addiction which can cause them to believe their trangression wasnt serious ---ie. "I can look at pornography and still go to the temple and take sacrament? Oh, what I did must not be that bad". Leaders and loved ones may think they are helping by encouraging the addict to continue going to the temple or taking the sacrament despite a recent relapse, slip, or discovery of ones sexual sins, but instead they may be unknowingly hurting them. Remember consequences are for our benefit. They are good and can help bring about lasting change.
What Can Church Leaders Do to Help?
"The bishop represents the Lord
in extending forgiveness for the Church. At times he must administer bitter
medicine. Alma told Corianton, “Now, repentance could not come unto men except
there were a punishment” (Alma 42:16). I would not want to live in a world
where there was no repentance, and if punishment is a condition of that, I will
willingly accept that. There is the idea abroad that one can send a postcard of
prayer and receive in return full forgiveness and be ready at once for a
mission or for marriage in the temple. Not so. There are payments to be made.
If a bishop offers comfort only and, in misguided kindness, seeks to relieve
you of the painful but healing process in connection with repentance, he will
not serve you well."
Latter Day Saint: Can Someone View Pornography and Still Attend the Temple Worthily??
Pornography and the Law of Chastity
LDS Mormon Quotes
What is Pornography?
Definition of Pornography :
"Pornography is any material
depicting or describing the human body or sexual conduct in a way that arouses
sexual feelings. It is distributed through many media,including magazines,
books, television, movies, music, and the Internet. It is as harmful to the
spirit as tobacco, alcohol, and drugs are to the body. Using pornographic
material in any way is a violation of a commandment of God: “Thou shalt not …
commit adultery … nor do anything like unto it”"
&
"Pornography is any
entertainment that uses immodest or indecent images to stimulate sexual
feelings. So even a mainstream television program or advertisement can be
pornographic. If images trigger sexual feelings in you, you should avoid
them."

What is Worthiness?
"Personal worthiness is an
essential requirement to enjoy the blessings of the temple. Anyone foolish
enough to enter the temple unworthily will receive condemnation."

Latter Day Saint: Judge Others
What The Church Says About Judging Others
"Thou shalt not judge" is a common accusatory (and quite shaming) misconception I hear quite often. Except we are not commanded to "not judge", and are actually commanded to judge righteously. Its sometimes hard to judge what our own safety is if we don't judge what the danger is. We must learn to judge and discern evil threats. The scriptures and the church can help us navigate this 👍

Correlation Between Video Games And Sex Addiction
CORRELATION BETWEEN VIDEO GAMES AND PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION
Watch this video on the science behind pornography addiction. Video games reward the same areas of the brain. They hijack dopamine/the reward circuit. So if you are a pornography or sexual addict, doing ANYTHING that promotes isolation along with fantasy, while also creating novelty and rewarding the same areas of the brain as porn, is a bad bad bad combination. Whether they are getting their drug high and isolation, fantasy, and novelty hit from porn or from video games, neither are going to be good for the addict brain.
