A lot of addicts are looking for one secret formula or the other to stop their habit. The truth remains that the only way to stop addiction is strong exertion of willpower. If you don't say no and stand on it, you are on your own.

Best advise so far ! No too much long talks...

This is one addiction so many young people ate fighting. And time and again, there's been many thread on this topic already.
Here's my little coin for you.
Take an active step.
1. Write a plan and mark everyday that passes by without you masturbating or watching porn. It gives you a sense of challenge to beat.

2. Limit the level of security and privacy you set around yourself. E.g make your room more accessible. If your house has very good security, don't close your door when you're about to sleep at night.

3. Find someone who won't judge you, someone you trust very well and confide in them. Let the person monitor your progress in the challenge you give yourself in number 1.

4. Don't be too harsh on yourself every time you fall into it and don't try ti give up. Always be convinced that you'll overcome it.

5. Find activities you can do to move your life forward and engage in daily commitment to that activity. Masturbating reuqires passion and you can drive that passion to something else.

Overall, if you're really convinced you want to stop it, I believe you will really stop it though it's not going to be easy.
celebrating my four month of not watching porn. Still battling with it and i bet u it has not been easy

I think reasons why this happens is because you don't have a gf, fam there is no shame in the addiction you find yourself in at the moment. my advice is get a gf, if you can't get a gf, is OK to actually to go have sex with prostitute to control the urge. I know that feels, you are young and all that, no one would actually judge you for trying to fight your addiction. secondly if you are watching the porn from your phone, then dispose of the phone and get a small phone without browser. gradually you would stop, otherwise fam, your sex life would be like that of a chicken. ends under 8 seconds. FYI Jesus christ won't come down from heaven and miraculously stop you from jerking off. you need to make real actual sacrifice and see the changes.

ThatHistoryGuy:



I battled with that for over 10yrs lol (for real) cool but am over it now
Here is how
Am a Christian
A time came when I needed Gods help in my life and I sensed that he can't help much when am still into sexual immoralities so I
-went to God in prayer
-confessed my sins to him
-told him I no longer want2 be battling with sexual immorality
-asked him to help me stop it totally
-drew closer to him
And then I was able to stop it totally even the urge I no longer feel at all till today .
SO ASK GOD FOR THE SPIRIT OF SELF CONTROL

The above steps are tested and trusted .

These steps people are giving to you can help you minimize it but a time will come when you can't control the urge then you find yourself where you were again .
GOODLUCK
There are many posts here but listen to this guy. You cannot use motivation to solve a demonic siege of addiction. You are dealing with an unclean spirit of lust. Pray always, fast always, fill up your spirit with the word of God always. Pray in the Holy Spirit always. If this unclean spirit of lust has trended in the family it will fight you dirty because it carries special assignment in among family members but you have already overcome in Christ Jesus. Go to your church pastor and report this challenge to him and do not despise regular counsel session with your pastor. Ensure you overcome this satanic trap now so you do not delay your life progress in Christ.

P0rn is a situation where you have tap rushing but you choose to use bottle water. What does this mean, you have got what you are looking for cheap and at almost no price but you chose luxury at the expense of what you really don’t have. It’s hard to quit. It takes a decision and the strong desire for the spirit of God. Are you a Christian? This might help you tho.

Just tell yourself this :there is nothing new there, same mouth action leading to Bleep then it is over.
Re: How Can I Overcome The Urge For Pornography? by PeacenLove2: 12:42pm On Jan 13, 2019
Tell yourself this is the time you stop and stand your ground. Don't fall for that cheap just one more time. Let the last time be the last time.

Everytime you think of it, just do something else entirely. Don't be tempted to watch anything close to porn.

Find other hobbies or interests to distract you. You really have to work on your mind. Don't let it win. You have to show some strength of character here, serious self discipline.

And so on and so forth. God be with you.

I did porn & masturbation for ten solid years from age 13 ,I remember running out of lecture hall in uni to masturbate and spending all I had buying time to browse at cafe just to watch porn.its was killing. But here is what you can do,
1) What device do you use to watch porn? Stay away from it.
2) Get really busy with something else,avoid spending too much time alone.
3) Porn is a habit,you can replace it with other habits especially good habits. I hope this helps

You are right, nevertheless, encourage him to get married first. If he becomes sexually active outside wedlock is like jumping from frying pan to fire.
Or Is it not worse than watching pornography?

You people writing long quotes dont know that pornography is actually a craving to soot your emotional troubles especially people who keep to thenselves, shy and usually depressed. It is like an addiction that is fueled by a source which is emotions and the mind. Once you take care of the two even when you see a naked woman you would not even move.

Bro lemme tell you my own
The reason you masturbate or choose to view porngraphics material is cos you are less busy and you often do it in solitude. ABI na lie?
Ok first step delete and material you have that is related to it on your phone or at your disposal.
2 try to stay active by engaging yourself in activities , I mean a job , trade or skill. It is when you are idle you beging to think of porn.
3 make conscious effort to stop. I know it's not easy cos I dey fight am too. But you have to keep trying.
I observe that people that have gone to work or have being busy since 7 am n come back around 8 or 9 pm won't have the time for porn. So that's that about that.
I hope you are able to do these things

Take an active step.
1. Write a plan and mark everyday that passes by without you masturbating or watching porn. It gives you a sense of challenge to beat.

2. Limit the level of security and privacy you set around yourself. E.g make your room more accessible. If your house has very good security, don't close your door when you're about to sleep at night.

3. Find someone who won't judge you, someone you trust very well and confide in them. Let the person monitor your progress in the challenge you give yourself in number 1.

4. Don't be too harsh on yourself every time you fall into it and don't try ti give up. Always be convinced that you'll overcome it.

5. Find activities you can do to move your life forward and engage in daily commitment to that activity. Masturbating reuqires passion and you can drive that passion to something else.

Overall, if you're really convinced you want to stop it, I believe you will really stop it though it's not going to be easy.
Nọ 6. Allow Jesus into your heart; pray earnestly and yield yourself to the Holy Spirit, you will find a rest for your soul.

find something that takes you a way from house from morning till night, drop your smart phone and use Nokia touch for now until you have mastered the control of watching it you can go back to your smart phone. Avoid staying alone, always be in company of people, study the word of God, pray always and try to remove your eyes and mind from anything that will stimulate youthful list. Just do these and see, it works

Definitely the Holy Spirit has begun the work of your salvation. That is why you seek help on a matter like this. Believe you me, it is not the devil that wants you to resist the urge because he is a promoter of sin. Neither is it your flesh that is willing to stop. Flesh enjoys things like that.
Beloved, pls open up your heart completely for Jesus to come in. He is the only way out of any satanic urge. Locate a living church around you and start listening to God's word there. For more help (prayer & counseling) call or whatsapp 08033338533.
I wish u well in Jesus name.
