Definitely not trolling, but yeah I know I'm stuck in a cycle that has to break. I can overcome for a few days (longest was a week without masturbation) but I just go right back to it when I know I'm still single and won't get married anytime soon.
FYI you can't break anything that is the first thing you need to understand. Marriage will not help your situation. YOu are going to inner into a relationship based on sex? YOU will be divorced and still unhappy.

You LACK SELF-CONTROL, and the reason why you do it is because you like it. Men make excuses for sexual sin or blame others for their own inability to have self-control. The first step to getting the victory in this is:
To be fair I do have some self control. Whether its with tv or out in the public (struggle sometimes when I do go out), I just struggle the most when I'm in the house, which is where I spend most of my time.

Loneliness is an excuse. IF you make sex the foundation of your relationship, you will still be unsatisfied Because the flesh never going to be satisfied. And you will take this into your relationship because you have not dealt with the heat of the issue in your heart.
I think loneliness is a valid excuse. Of course sinning is never a good thing and I don't have an excuse for that, but loneliness is a major thing that effects (presumably) millions of people. And although sex is a foundation for a relationship, it is not the only thing I'm interested in. I would like to have someone to help me with faith, lift me up when I'm down, care for me, etc. So again it may seem like i don't care, or am just a lustful person with no control but that's simply not the case.

it is no different than homosexuality, drunkness, or drugs. You have not to surrender that part of your life to the Lord and have no intentions of doing so. That speaks volumes of your relationship and frankly the liberty of how you are so willing to throw it out.
This part is mostly true. I've tried praying to god for help, but so far nothing has changed. maybe it's just me IDK.

many will say they have sexual additions without being so graphic. Yet those who have no shame are not even apprehensive with the understanding those of the opposite sex can see this.
Not sure what you mean by this.

It is disrespecting yourself. You are immature, and you need to put your sexual drive into work for the kingdom of God. Now stand up, shake yourself off and demonstrate you are a man of God and have self-control. News flesh guy women don't like pity parties.
You maybe right.

To be fair I do have some self-control. some? sin is never seen by God as some.


Whether its with tv or out in the public (struggle sometimes when I do go out), I just struggle the most when I'm in the house, which is where I spend most of my time. Pray and read the word and seek God

Of course sinning is never a good thing and I don't have an excuse for that, but loneliness is a major thing that effects (presumably) millions of people. Here is the issue what if the person you are with is not wanting to have sex but wants you to enjoy their company? if you have someone to talk to and take places you will not be lonely but if you base it on sex you will lose them for sure.



And although sex is a foundation for a relationship, Sex is never a foundation of the relationship it reinforces what is already there. FYI a case of E.D. will bring your foundation down.


it is not the only thing I'm interested in. I would like to have someone to help me with faith, lift me up when I'm down, care for me, etc. That is a good thing :)


So again it may seem like i don't care, or am just a lustful person with no control but that's simply not the case. The heart of man is evil and wicked yours and mine. The flesh does and will always pull you to that part of your life.


This part is mostly true.

I've tried praying to god for help, but so far nothing has changed. maybe it's just me IDK. You have not tried hard enough there is help and you must want it. You are very young and I encourage you to place your sexual drive into the word of God and surrender to God all. Tell Him what HE knows and separate yourself from those things that cause you to dwell on sexual gratification. No woman is going to be with a person that is overly sex-driven. Women will think as most do all you want is sex. Not dealing with this will mean you will not stop even if you are having sex in a marriage.


Not sure what you mean by this.
what I mean is there is no sense of you having shame for this kind of action. On that, I could be wrong but I don't see in your writing true remorse of desire to stop and have victory.

You maybe right.
I am not trying to be right I trying to help you out as many of us have fought this battle and some still do.

hey, you are not defeated. God made us with this desire to have sex, yet, the world and the devil have perverted it.

There are so many false narratives that women and men accept as a required thing to be liked.

Look at the women who were beautiful in the movies and as Entertainers who are modifying their bodies to be accepted or how they think " I am expressing myself"

Big rubber-looking lips fake butt, and breast nails long enough to scare Freddy Kruger, Eye Lashes so long on windy days they take off the ground or block out the sun. None of it brings satisfaction.

Men basing a sexual experience on false narratives. where Makeup lighting and editing of the film work to provide an optical illusion.

False narratives I am going to speak real :

no women want to have sex for an hour straight, no man goes an hour straight without drug or booze in their system or the camera cutting and editing the shot. No woman wants 18 in genitalia, nor do they like carrying around all day breast the size of texas watermelons. That is all false lies and perversion, Women are far more than what TV and Movies depict women as.

Jesus would never ask women to do those things to be accepted. All these women can't even keep a man from cheating on them or keep asking what is it about me that I am not doing that she does? or She not even as good-looking as me. Look's has nothing to do with addiction.

But this will have you lonely and empty and prevention will take you down further than you want to go.

Whoa I'm not expecting that.... I know TV/movies aren't real so I'm not looking for that. In fact I hate it when women use makeup, and can't stand women with excessive bodies (big breast, etc). The first thing that attracts a woman to me is there face. I'll date a girl with a pretty face and a decent body, but I'm not dating someone with an ugly face but a nice body. After all the first thing I'm gonna notice when I wake up in the morning is their face.
