I'm 18 y/o, and i'm having a problem. Right now, i'm 8 months clean of porn. I wasn't "addicted", it was usually an accidental fall, once or twice every few months, but now I've been clean and I have no desire to go back. The question comes with masturbation and that alone, no porn, no dirty thoughts, no scenarios playing in my head, just masturbation as a means of releasing sexual tensions built up, and in an attempt to relieve those feelings before they start desiring porn. On one hand there's times where I think in my head "its ok, its not bad" Then there's times where I hate myself after, I think stuff like "well now all your prayers are useless, God really doesn't wanna talk to you now" etc. My question or hope is to find some biblical teaching I can stand on. Like with porn, I cant really decriminalize it in my head, there is a clear verse on lusting and how it is the same as adultery, so i'm just looking for some brotherly/sisterly advice from fellow believers on how I should handle this. Thanks in Advance!

Masturbation is faking sex. It's a false replacement for the real thing. Can you think of a time when God would prefer we take a fake? No matter how some people try to twist and turn it, masturbation, even if you're somehow not able to think sexual thoughts, is still a sexual act. And a sexual act done outside of marriage at that. Do you know of anywhere the bible allows us as believers to engage in any sort of sexual activity outside of marriage?

Wow i was feeling the same. Ive had sex with multiple guys before i was 21 or married and i still regret it to this second. Its our society that manipulates us into thinking it is fine and that when we get lost from our godly path. Ive heard the phrase "everyone is doing it" sooo many times... Before i had sex people said i was a prune and no one will ever love me. After i had sex i was a whore and no one would ever want me now. So it really was a bad time and society had mislead me. Ive tried to masterbate... Not my thing. Always felt guilty, as if my dead loved ones are looking at me. Judging me. I am proud to say i havent had real sex in almost six years. But unfortunately before i joined this group i got mixed up in other chatrooms... Masterbates and stuff. So i am disapointed in myself. But i have to say i fot rid of all things bad. Ive deleted all my chatroom apps and ive cut ties with bad people. And ever since i did that. I felt much better. Ive asked God to forgive my sins. I talk to Him when my mind is starting to twist and turn. So maybe you should atleast try for a while not to mastebate. Whenever you feel that sexual tension. Start placing your attention to something else. Take the bible, pray or go outside and play with your pets or even better. Go to the communiry center and volunteer to help. Just a thought. Goodluck
