I was a pornography addict and I used to masturbate A LOT too, everyday even. However, I have found Christ and I have been trying to permanently stop my addiction. It's been almost a year now since I have watched pornography intentionally and often times, it's SUPER difficult to not masturbate or watch porn because of the sexual temptations that arise, these temptations are torturing me. It's hard to remember that masturbation and pornography are sin and I often get to the verge of falling back into my old sinful ways only to remember that it's not right. It's killing me, I can't focus on good things and often times my mind shifts back into lust. Occasionally, I try to watch porn and justify my actions but I know it's wrong and it's like I'm fighting myself, I often "unintentionally" masturbate just because of my lust. I hate myself for this, I have promised God so many times that I'd stop and I would always break that promise :(.

I believe that Jesus Christ our Lord will forgive me if I confess and repent, I confess, and I do seek His help, but it's SO HARD to control my sexual thoughts and lust. I just want to be free from sexual sin so that I can focus on the Lord and fully repent. Can anyone help with advice or prayers? Thank youu
 
the only advice i can offer
is literally not doing it

just pray and sleep shortly after
or force quick showers

its not easy....man

but youre correct in seeing its unacceptable

i had to quit some chats on an application and block people because people knew i was celebate
i tried to be salt and speak of God
and being worldly people they thought it was funny to post porn pics to me


caused me to have more temptation for a couple weeks


the temptation doesnt really die completely

but it weakens the longer you go without entertaiming the thoughts


once you have a single thought
that second

cry to God even if just in your head

and when youre going to masterbate

just DONT

start giving praise to God for showing you its wrong

and ask him to deliver you from it



... its never unintentional

its you ignoring righteousness to partake in sin the devil would have you do

im sure i didnt say anythin you dont know

but its not just you man


we all have these temptations
 
Consider posting in the forums as not everyone reads the blogs. You're situation is a common one that is faced by many so don't get too down on yourself.
 
Ferrell, my prayers are with you., but the only way to stop doing what you're doing is to have a made up mind that you will not do this again. there is no other person that can claim victory for you stopping what you're doing but you. i'm sure you will here the same things from other people you have heard before. the temptations are going to be there,and the urges as well. let it burn ,don't let it blossom, .it will pass, time and time again. ,and then it gets easier, but keep your mind on God. stop defiling the temple of God, because he dwells in you.
 
No offense, but just "making up your mind" and telling yourself to stop will not work. I had an issue as well for many years and was able to overcome. Here's a blog I posted on blogger.com dealing with the issue, and the thing that finally helped me. http://thehardertruths.blogspot.com/2017/05/sexual-sin-scriptural-exhortation-for_17.html




 
Corinthians; 2 ; 17;If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy;for the temple of God is holy,which temple ye are. Learn of the things that defile the temple of God if he dwell in you.
