The Effects of Lust

by Mike Genung

Our culture says that pornography, promiscuity and adultery are harmless fun. 

Some psychologists say lust is healthy.

Many use pornography thinking they’re not hurting anyone because “it’s just me and pictures.” 

My Story

I don't really know when it began. Or even why.

I was brought up in a wonderful Christian home with two parents who fully imparted God's love to me, and nurtured in the faith by an excellent Bible-believing church. I came to know and love Jesus in a very authentic relationship in early childhood.

I didn't struggle with most of the temptations urban teenagers encounter: drugs, alcohol, cheating at school, fighting, stealing. I had a superego the size of a Wal-Mart. Yet, sexual fantasy was a challenge for me, a source of incredible guilt and torment. Fortunately, through high school, I had limited exposure to explicit material.
