The statistics for Christian men between the ages of 18-30 are striking: Some 77% view pornography at least monthly; 36% view pornography at least daily, and 32% admit their addiction to porn (another 12% think they may be). The survey's results for middle-aged Christian men (ages 31-49) are no less disturbing: Some 64% view pornography at least monthly; and 18% admit being addicted to pornography (another 8% think they may be). Some 55% of married Christian men viewed porn at least monthly and 35% had a sexual affair while married, according to the Barna survey. "These statistics knock the wind right out of you," says Joel Hesch, the founder of Proven Men Ministries. "There definitely is a problem with pornography and affairs among Christian men and people are starving for the church to step forward with solutions," he says. "Pornography is one of the biggest unad dressed problems in the church," Hesch adds. Those who identify themselves as born-again Christians revealed similar struggles with pornography and affairs, with 54% admitting they look at pornography at least once a month and 31% having had a sexual affair while married.
