The now infamous Ashley Madison website was a trap for men. If you haven’t heard of the website, it allowed people to arrange extra-marital affairs. Most of the users were male. Of the female users, many were fake. And then some hackers stole the information of people who had signed up, and posted their data online.1
Perhaps some people signed up on the site out of curiosity. Others, perhaps were in bad marriages or looking for excitement. Others may have been sex addicts or men who looked at porn.
Shaunti Feldhahn, has said, “The hard truth is that porn reels in men who would have never set out to devastate their wives and families.”2 Those who visited Ashley Madison may have naively told themselves that they weren’t hurting anyone. But just as with porn, they were already on the road to destroying themselves and their families.
Now, with the users of Ashley Madison posted online for all to search, individuals and families can be publically shamed. Wives may have to deal with their husband’s betrayal, not in private, but with friends and family knowing of the infidelity.
The good news is, this may also be an opportunity for healing and positive change. With secrets acts put in the open, perhaps the men and women who violated trust and vows will now have the motivation and help to make things right. If any of them are addicted to porn or sex, hopefully now they will seek the help they need.
Porn, sex addiction, and adultery hurt both the person participating in them and those who love them. Get help now. Call Paradise Creek Recovery immediately at (855) 442-1912. Call Paradise Creek Recovery immediately at (855) 442-1912. We can help you or your loved one discover hope and heal.
