Prevention also means fighting the demand - and here we face the sad truth that many 'customers' who pay for sex acts are neither poor nor undereducated. However, their education falls short of teaching them that the women apparently available for their pleasure are hurting and trapped in an evil trade from which there is no easy exit. Pornography is often a factor, being addictive, presenting women as objects, destroying healthy relationships and creating the demand for more and more novelty and younger and younger girls. This culture leaves the door wide open for exploitation and crime.<ref name="Hope">{{cite book |title=Europe:Restoring Hope|author=Deborah Meroff|publisher=OM Books|place=Linz, Austria|year=2011|pages=22 |isbn=978-3-941750-06-7|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1mJhuQAACAAJ}}</ref>

When a man or woman, addicted to pornographically viewing and using other human beings, converts to Christ as Lord and Savior, and submits to His Will, and realizes that every human being viewed as an object of pornographic stimulation is a soul for whom the Son of God died to save from hell, progress has begun toward overcoming the addiction as being an undesirable evil to be shunned and avoided, with constant recourse to prayer for the helping gift of the grace and power of the Holy Spirit joined to sincere contrition and purpose of amendment of life. Frequent sincere [[repentance]], and exposure to various "holy reminders", and [[confession]] joined to pastoral [[counselling]] and [[psychotherapy]], and trusting in God's compassionate, forgiving mercy without being discouraged, has produced remarkable results.
