Noah, thank you for your commitment to helping others toward godly purity and not objectivizing God’s human creation. Would you say that your article on “I’ll stop looking when I get married” also relates to people that have an entrenched, long time habit of looking/staring/ogling young women in their prime? If not, do you have any articles on the habit (or additive behavior) for those who have “default setting” to quietly, but predictably looking/staring/having an acquired taste for looking at attractive young females (or males for that matter)? Thank you for your good work.
Hi Kathy,
great question and yes, I write a lot about this. Here’s a few:

This is also a main topic in my book, which is almost published. There’s some things readers can do to help, basically to convince a publisher to publish it, can be found here if you’re interested: http://www.atacrossroads.net/signed-by-a-literary-agent-how-you-can-help-my-first-book-get-published/
Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.
