Romans 12:2
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
The world says that pornography is fun, that lust is okay, that you should grab whatever pleasure you can. The Bible points to a different way of thinking, and we each need to make a decision whether to conform to the patterns of this world, or the pattern of God. Following God requires us to be counter-cultural, to place God above what is trendy or popular. Furthermore, the will of God actually directs us to what is "good" and "perfect", whereas the ways of the world end up being empty promises because they don't match the reality of the universe that God created. So to recover from our brokenness we must learn to renew our mind, to transform our thinking to be in alignment with what God desires, rather than what the world says is okay.
Heavenly Father, please transform my thinking to be more in line with Your thinking.
