  • Cancel your subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO and other streaming services that broadcast sexually explicit movies and shows
  • Cancel your cable television subscription
  • Cancel your subscriptions to Sports Illustrated, Maxim, GQ and other magazines that show women wearing practically nothing
  • If your wife subscribes to Cosmopolitan, Shape, Vogue and other print magazines that feature female nudity and articles about sex, ask her to hide them where you won’t find them
  • If your wife hides her women’s magazines from you, don’t go hunting for them
  • Stop taking your smartphone into the bathroom with you
  • Throw away all of your AO-Rated (adults only) video games and any others that feature sexually suggestive characters, images and storylines
  • Cleanse your house, attic, garage, car, tool shed, cottage, storage locker, boat, camper, workplace and every other place that you have a key to of all books, magazines, catalogs, DVDs, calendars, and other sexually explicit material
  • Throw away your TV
  • If your DVD, Blu-ray or VHS player is a snare that causes you to stumble sexually, throw that away, too
  • Move all computers in your house into public areas where everyone can see what you watch
  • Invite your wife and kids, or your girlfriend, or your parents, to view your internet search and browsing history anytime they want
  • If the swimming pool in your backyard causes you to lust, fill it with concrete and use the recovered space to host neighborhood Bible studies
  • If you are married but still have photos of former girlfriends or wives that tempt you to commit adultery in your heart, destroy those photos
