Feeling stuck at 1, 2 or 3? Here are some tips:
-
Next time you get an email that sexually degrades women, you might email the sender with a "Hey mate, take me off your list for this stuff – thanks!”
-
Next time you hear a joke that sexually degrades women, you might say “C’mon guys, that’s a bit rough" or "Hey guys, can’t we raise the tone a little?” Chances are others in your group will feel similarly but are stuck on level 2 above.
-
Next time your business colleagues, sports team mates or male friends suggest you all head off to a strip joint or lap dancing club, you might say “No guys, count me out!” Chances are someone else in the group will choose not to go also.
-
Don’t nod and wink when a colleague, or the lads, head off to a sex tourist destination for some “R&R”, or for a stag weekend. Ask them how they’d feel if these women were their daughters, sisters or mothers.

Next time you are tempted to check out porn, get up and take a break. Make a drink. Go for a walk or run. Remind yourself that looking at porn is a CHOICE. Connect with someone who will support your decision to avoid porn. Engage with your kids, music, nature... whatever elevates your soul. If necessary, seek professional help.
