It appears that people addicted to porn are present virtually in all generations including that of Jesus, for towards the end of Jesus' career as the Savior, a group of leaders (called Sadducees) came to Jesus with a question on marriage (and sex) based on the scenario wherein several brothers had to share one woman not just a month or two but for eternity. No doubt that the scenario was their own creation. And the scenario and the assumption they operate with indicate that they are stuck with and attached to that which is fleshly, remaining categorically shut out from the life that lives on the dimenstion that is above that which is fleshly/materialistic. These people are good candidates for contractiing diseases like the disorderliness on sex and marriage. And once they contract the disease and get addicted, they are unable to get off the hook.
What is the solution to the addiction? We find the answer to the question in Luke 20:36, for the answer is couched on the term "children of God" that is the "children of resurrection". Note the equation: COD = COR. Jesus did not stop at saying "they are the children of God". Rather he proceeded to define further what the children of God is all about, that is, the children of 'resurrection'.
When perfection comes the imperfect disappears. When one repents tuns to the Lord and believes in Jesus the Son, God forgives him of all his sins, and puts him back to the relationship with God, the source of infinate perfection. As one remains connected with God the Father who sent Jesus, the child sees the imperfect like sexual disorientedness dissolve. He is set free from all that holds him in bondage. He is no longer addicted.
