God is right next to you everytime.
Would you watch porn when he is right next to you? How embarassing..

Shame may be an adequate motivator in the short term, but it can be destructive in the long run. There's a reason pornography makes double digit billions every year; it's not a niche topic and it's far more rare to be not struggling with it. Talking about it is a great first step: "do not give the devil a foothold." Battling any problem silently and on your own is often an idea that sets you up to continue to stumble.

When I was a dorm counselor at a Christian summer camp, this was a topic that came up every year without fail. It's hard enough for guys to talk about it, let alone admit to anything. When I'd tell them that I deal with the exact same thing, their demeanors would change. A person in a leadership position admitting a personal struggle sort of caught them off guard, but it shouldn't.


Talk about it, share it with someone who'll understand you. I've found the strongest weapon against this struggle is someone, or a couple someones, that will listen when you need it and give sound advice even if you don't always want to hear it. Find a brother that will keep you accountable, and do the same in turn. It strengthens your relationship and your resolve to take command over your fight.

More than that, hold yourself accountable. Use parental controls on your media...block websites and channels that you know will screw up your day. This one's not easy and it will only get harder. Flip through a couple tv channels...when you're watching with a skeptic's eye you'll notice how much innuendo and suggestiveness that media is saturated with.

Keep us updated (or pm me if you'd like) and don't let shame be the driving force behind your change. Change because you know it's the right thing to do. Don't let anyone else try to shame you either.

Who is to say what is right or wrong?

A book that like chinese whispers could have been edited/warped?

Actually not long ago, i was outside a shopping complex by myself i myself do not have much faith at all. A old man approched me and he said to me "You have a friend, the lord our saviour"
He could see i was abit down that day,

He just tried to talk to me even though i didn't speak, he handed me a card with his number and the church he goes too, he asked me if i would join him the following sunday at his church.

I never went.

Is it wrong of me not to go?
A stranger i never meet before offered me help? and i refused? why?


Moral? i shouldn't comment on things.

Book changed? Bible consist of 66 "Books". Now I can go on about some stuff that would just blow your mind with that. OR why is it just those 66 books. There is many..many other holy scriptures out there that just many of us should not know of or read. Book of Enoch being one....Any who. The finding of the Dead sea scrolls was....Monumental on so many levels. Why? in comparsion of todays scripture to the scrolls it really hasn't changed at all...2000 years later. Still the same. Showing that God is true to his word...and it will never change.

And the Old man?...He's just not a Old Man, he is a man that loves God. And wants you to know him too. Not going isn''t a bad thing, a bit of a insult but not entirely a bad thing. Maybe you should go? Event's occur in our lives for a reason. It may takes years and alot of understandting why it has taken place. But, don't forget. He know's the past,present and the future. Follow the Lord, and you will never be lost.

I jhave to cold turkey. I just have too. I quit alot of things since I was baptised about 6 months ago. The Lord is wokring in me, I have too.



Its a hard thing to get away from. Especialy in todays society, the things that media and people surrounds them self's in. Its river dancing on thin ice for alot of people that are seeking a holy mentality. But, in all honesty I really appreciate what you are saying and want to do man. Thats really awesome. I'm going to my one friend that is going through the same exact thing..He used to be a err..umm..a underwear model so a good portion of his life was surrounded on the whole sexual ordeal on things. Its been very helpful.

Thanks everyone.

Bad advice is just bad advice..

powers of man in vision, hearing, in tact, resources taste, finally, all these senses we all have received the creator in order to use the well, in light, moral knowledge.
would be sex in all its manifestations sentenced darkness?
thought about it with rationality and coherence.

I will keep you in my prayers brother. Many men struggle with this temptation. This is something we all must work at everyday. Trust in God and believe he will help. For he does all things for a purpose.

I found out that if I have nothing to do I suffer from this. If I always have something to do online then I'm good. unfortunately some nights everything is silent and we all like to chat with other people at least. Be it on a game or on the forums, if all is silent then this becomes a problem.
