What exactly is the prohibition against having relations with non-idolatrous goyot?
By GYE
Can you please explain to me where there is an issur against having relations with non-idolatrous goyot? I'm not looking for spiritual Zohar or Lurianic reasons; just an actual issur. I'm really becoming tempted with this.
Please check out the full guide to beating porn addiction in this and upcoming issues (For the first in the series, please refer to issue #1436). The creators of the infographic have taken each of the 25 strategies and provided clear practical actions to take in detail:
The Benefits of Giving Up Porn
Giving up porn will revolutionise your life. There’s no doubt about it.
Understanding this, exactly how your life will be better and more productive without porn is key to giving up.
Porn was ruining my life. I didn’t see friends. My girlfriend dumped me. My grades dropped. I felt anxious. I watched porn for hours each day. But once I decided to give it up, I followed through and now I’m free. I’ve never felt happier, more focused, good about myself!
Without porn you’ll start to feel good about yourself and achieve so much more.
• You’ll have more energy and focus. • You’ll be able to start an amazing, meaningful relationship. • You’ll start feeling great about yourself and people will take notice! • You’ll have the time to do interesting things and make interesting new friends • Your confidence and self esteem will improve. • You’ll have healthily sexual interests and you can wave goodbye to sexual dysfunction.
Do you think you may have a porn addiction?
Do you have a problem with obsessive and compulsive porn use?
