I'm glad you are wanting to deal with this problem. It is highly destructive, which you already know. But there is a path to healing and freedom. Talk to Jesus. Tell him what's going on because he already knows. Confess your sin and your inability to stop and ask for forgiveness, strength, and guidance.

Seek help from your pastor or a licensed Christian counselor to identify your triggers and establish new habits ASAP. Sometime soon you need to tell your wife, if she doesn't already know. You two are one flesh so your sexual sins are affecting her, even if she can't identify the source. She deserves to know. If you have had any sexual contact with anyone, get tested. STIs are way more common and communicable than you think. And it's not just your own health you have endangered.

Praying for restoration and victory for you and your family.

You're not the only one bro, trust me. I'm not married, but I have struggles with this too. It's very common for guys, so you're not alone.

I don't watch porn or anything, but my problem is I see all these gorgeous girls at my college... It's tough for me. Especially because of what girls are wearing these days... The shirts that show the cleavage and the tight pants that show everything else... I mean come on.

Like the above poster said, you can seek help from your pastor or another spiritual person you trust. There are also christian support groups for this kind of thing. Also, pray. God can help you overcome this, He's our only hope.

God is faithful! I suffered witj the problems of watching pornography and masturbation for almost 5 years but thank GOD am changed and healed. You first have to realise the problem and take it to GOD in prayer....if you have to cry, cry out to HIM. I got tired and angry with my situation. I tried with my own strength but I failed. God is faithful. The Bible also says confess your sins one to another and you shall prosper. It also helps sharing the problem with close friends. If GOD can change me, he can change you too. Be blessed.

Judgement is a harsh thing to have to deal with, and does cause all of us to shun away from telling those we love. Jesus is the light and in that He is the truth and so the truth set's us free.

The judgement that you are so afraid of is what you are doing to yourself mostly, believe me I know what I am talking about, boy I was my biggest judge, jureror and executioner. For me it was about accepting what Jesus said I am, it was about accepting that He loved me no matter what. That He is my strength, when I had the craving I would pray and pray and pray. I would then move myself into an area where I was more open to people finding out, or I would go out. For me when the temptation got this bad that is what I would do. Of course at times I failed miserabley but realised I had gone a day longer that the last time, I felt the need.

I also spoke to my husband about it, it was as hard as HELL, but the Lord is so true in His word, He will never leave us, He will never forsake us, He died for me and you that day on the cross even knowing what sinner's we both are. This step of faith allowed me to bring it all into the light all in view of my husband and Jesus, there was no need to keep it in the dark where I could be tormented and tempted. Truth is light, light is Jeus freedom waits for you my friend.

Please feel free to email me anytime.

I don't know if anyone is still on this thread, but I find myself very isolated and lonely. I am engaged, to a nice man, and its just me and him. Im a house wife, so I cook and clean, and clean some more, and dont really do anything challenging or engaging. I mean I don't have passion or a reason to wake up in the morning. Its really said. I wish I could meet someone, or a couple in the Atlanta area that I could connect with and minister with. I find that my sex drive is more than my boyfriends, and sometimes it feels like its the only way I have passion and excitement in life. Maybe its not sex itself but excitement that you are looking for GoldenJunior.
