Comment on Why accountability partners don’t work for pornography addiction by Mark

Thanks for the comment Luke. I am a big fan and user of Covenant Eyes, and see what you guys are doing as more helpful than the amorphous “accountability” that’s out there. In actual fact, the concept of accountability does make sense and is helpful **IF** it’s part of a larger program of support and recovery, which is what I’m trying to say in the article … and Covenant Eyes is an important part of that program for many men. Keep up the good work at Covenant Eyes!

Comment on Why accountability partners don’t work for pornography addiction by Luke Gilkerson

Thanks for this podcast about accountability. Describing accountability this way, I would agree with you: accountability of this sort doesn’t work. We don’t just need people to commiserate with. We need real help. Too often I talk to people who’ve tried accountability and they either describe the unavailable acquaintance, the passive friend who enables them, the bully who policed them, or the moral giant who couldn’t relate to them.

I liked your idea of “accountability to a system or structure” as a bridge to talk about real and healthy accountability. Well said.

As someone who works for an Internet accountability company (Covenant Eyes), I am glad to hear when people use our accountability reports in this fashion, as a structure that helps maintain and develop real and healthy accountability in the context of the church community.

[...] Informal study shows pornography is more addictive than people think sexual-sanity.com/?p=41 – view page – cached One of the challenges of trying to accurately define the numbers of people addicted to sex is that the primary form of sex addiction (pornography) often goes unreported, since people don’t view it as a problematic or unhealthy behavior. And so we have people growing dependent on a certain sexual behavior but not realizing it because they don’t see it as a problem. [...]
