Prayer for Internet Pornography Users

Shlomo Eliahu, chief rabbi in the northern Israeli town of Safed, was approached by Orthodox Jews worried about the lure of Internet sex sites. In response, he composed a prayer to help devout Jews overcome guilt after visiting porn web sites. Here's some of the prayer:
"Please God, help me cleanse the computer of viruses and evil photographs which disturb and ruin my work..., so that I shall be able to cleanse myself (of sin) . . ."
The Rabbi recommends that the prayer be recited when logging on to porn sites either intentionally or by mistake.

Um . . . does this make it okay to look at porn? Or does it just get rid of guilt?
