I (32m) started seeing prostitutes when I was 20 and have done it on and off up to my current age. I find the lack of sexual and emotional connection lures me into to seeing them even when I say I’m going to stop. Whenever I am doing decent financially I end up going back to seeing them. I try to be a spiritual person and read the bible and not lust over women but it can be a struggle and mental battle. Does anyone else have this same bad habit?

      Not particularly. I don’t drink, I don’t gamble, I don’t participate in pre-marital sex, I don’t steal, I don’t gorge myself, I don’t physically attack people, and I’m pretty honest also. I contribute all of that due in fact I’m the furthest away from the light of Christ I’ve ever been in my life. The more I disregard what Abrahamic religions hold in importance the more pious I become.

        It’s almost like there are different paths for different people.

          It’s almost like the Christians crash the economy and deprive me of the resources to commit the sins that they wail against.

      • No worries, I just would have helped if it was something you wanted, but nobody should be forced into anything they don’t want to do.

        I totally agree with your point that Christian values can drive the temptation towards “vice”—I just told OP the same thing in my reply to him. If you don’t create a moralistic contradiction for yourself, there is no tension to rebel against.
