1. Practicing builds new “healthy sexuality” brain circuitry.
|
2. Intensity is reduced and eliminated with repeated healthy exposure. The brain “habituates” or becomes “bored” with the sexual stimuli. They lose their novelty and become “no big deal.” [The stimuli become “re-conditioned” to a new response.]

|
3. Sexuality becomes a normal, meaningful, healthy and satisfying part of your life. It stops being the most important thing in your life, because new things, meanings and a new sexuality are becoming so much more important. You replace the “old” shallow and empty sexuality with a new, greater and more loving and satisfying sexuality. This is called learning, maturing and growing. You’ve done it thousands of times throughout your life, when you’ve replaced something that wasn’t as good with something better.
|
4. You change from “lust” to a “mature love” focus.
|
|
|
5. Challenging, answering and coping with your sexual thoughts is far more effective than telling yourself not to have them—this breaks you out of the OCD/Fear Cycle.
|
6. You will come to “love the new path” and “hate the old one.” You will build a brain that no longer seeks or prefers pornography and destructive sexual behaviors.
|
|
|
7. You move out of sexual fantasy back into the real world.
|
8. Practice 100 times and on the 101st time when you are faced with real temptation, you confront and answer it AUTOMATICALLY. This is what your brain seeks naturally—to make it a habit—just like your addiction used to be. You succeed in the face of temptation because you’ve done it so many times before!
|
|
|
9. You become a master at overcoming temptation because you have learned to follow the ultimate example of the Master Himself.
|
God.
