How To Stop Watching Porn And Masturbating?

Conidering that most sexual crimes are committed by men of God, then I think praying to him is not going to help.

Nothing wrong with a bit of light porn and a good old fashioned wank. No need to get the fairy story book called the bible involved.

Everything in moderation 

@reverend

Resist the devil and he will flee from you  It's so hard to stop bad habits when you've become addicted to it. I suggest you pray hard to help you have self-control of your mind. I think this all starts in the mind, and if you can control your thoughts with Godly stuff you are on your way to making progress curbing the addiction. Remember: TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH, BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE    God will surelyhelp you out of the problem I pray.

that is not a question to ask
d bible say donot judge
so  no one can tell u'ld go to heaven or not.

Keep pulling your trouser snake in the name of the Lord 

     
    At your age your hormones are developing and raging,its part of growing up at this time of your life masturbation is one thing you would fight it.You can not control your emotions and when you feel that way, you re not thinking straight you can't even pray when you feel honey, but my advice to you is talk a walk, do something,go see a movie or do something to change your orientation. Prayer comes in when you are in your quiet moments.

what you must know is that when ever you are demanding for suggestions you get both good ones and bad ones, so my advice is that if you realy want to stop that bad trend and haib you should simply, give your life to Christ, be born again, and use your time judiciously, those time you use to look at those things use them to read the Bible, those time you use to msturbate use them to pray for the grace of God, those time you use to watch all those movies use them to tell someone about the goodness of God, if i should tell you about mylife, i was a masturbator before but the lord came into mylife and set me free from that boundage, you can also be set free just follow this steps, i did it , it worked out , it can still wor out for you, i will by the grace of God pray for you, thanks

Who introduced you to the porn sites? I guess you found them from a search. If  you think porn is bad and you really want to quit then go to a church.

You seem to derive great joy and satisfaction from not having fornicated. By that do you mean that you are such an unfriendly person that no girl in your school wants to go out with you?.

My advice would be to face the facts of life. You are 20 years old  and having sex is a beautiful thing. You already know it is a beautiful thing that is why you go to the net to watch sex. Come on man. Look for a girl and experience the real thing. Our country needs people who are willing to change themselves for the better.

With you as a good lover we would have taken one step forward on our journey to making Nigeria a better place.

Lets make Nigeria a better place.

Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions. Excessive stimulation can result in over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin.
Abundant and unusually large amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively masturbates.
Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.
The side effects of such changes to the body include:
·   Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
·   Lower back pain
·   Thinning hair / Hair Loss
·   Soft / Weak Erection
·   Premature Ejaculation
·   Eye floaters or fuzzy vision
·   Groin / Testicular Pain
·   Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone
Masturbation plays a big role in a normal sex life. Some of us discover it as children because it starts to feel so good between our legs. Others are shown by our friends. We continue to masturbate because it feels so good. It gets us ready for mature sexual relationships when we reach adulthood, and it helps us take care of those raging hormonal urges and surges when we are teenagers. Masturbation can enhance mature sexual relationships where two partners use it either as a prelude to other sexual activity, or as the main fare. And it keeps us going when relationships falter, such as when a partner is ill or away. It is a great equalizer in a relationship where one partner needs more sexual activity than the other.
How much is too much masturbation?
That depends but it's suggested men keep their ejaculation frequency down to 2-3 times a week. However, sexual activity can be experienced more often if men learn how to orgasm without ejaculation. Doing so can actually store bioenergy into your system and make your privates firmer, your erections last longer, and your ejaculate volume bigger.
Masturbation is a part of life and our sexual practices. In fact, most doctors recommend it, not only to improve sexual experiences but to also promote good general health. However, like most things in life, too much of a good thing can be bad. Excessive masturbation can lead to symptoms like stress, fatigue, and memory loss. In extreme cases, sufferers fall into the pitfalls of impotence and hair loss.
Under most circumstances, masturbation is neither good nor bad
One recently published study reported that 87% of women and 95% of men have practiced masturbation—but when done to extreme, it causes drastic changes in brain and body chemistry. Masturbating too much can over-stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions and disrupt the liver’s release of enzymes that synthesize neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin. Additionally, the liver’s ability to release enzymes that aid in hormone production is affected. As a result, the brain and adrenal glands produce too much dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and other hormones and neural transmitters.
Symptoms (also called Sexual Exhaustion) is distressing liver and nervous system functions, include youthful impotence/erectile dysfunction (including a soft or weak erection) and seminal leakage. While more than 30% of men have experienced impotence at one time or another, impotence in youth is more rare and can often be attributed to the above factors.
Over-masturbation can also cause problems such as seminal leakage, which can cause sperm to ooze or leak out of the privates with no accompanying erection. Both semen leakage and youthful impotence are embarrassing, uncomfortable, and signs of Sexual Exhaustion.
Semen leakage is a sign that the parasympathetic nerve, which keeps the ejaculation valve shut and holds the erection, is weakening as a result of over-masturbation. With a weakened nerve, maintaining an erection is a problem.
Get Rid From The Addictive Behavior?
The first step to getting better is to reduce masturbation and ejaculation frequency and try to overcome this bad habit. Eat more soybean products and eliminating excessive caffeine from your diet. Focus on nutty foods like sunflower seeds, and peanuts and eat more sea foods, seaweed, vegetables, and try to minimize red meat and dairy product intake. Instead of soda, try drinking orange juice or cranberry juice and, of course, drink plenty of water.
We have developed Kohinoor Gold in order to combat sexual exhaustion and reverse the effects that over-masturbation has on your body. Feel your erections become more firm and more engorged, you will be able to last longer, feel less pain in the prostate and testicles, and feel more alert and energized.

@ poster
I was about responding to your post when a colleague of mine came into the office, he looked at my screen and said he once had the same problem. He stopped watching porn and masturbating at the age of 17 because he was caught while at it and the embarrassment alone made him stop. I was surprised he could talk about it . Today he's in his mid 20's, a strong Christian and though he feels the urge sometimes, there are always activities and programmes to take his mind off it.

If he can stop it, you too can.
Make a conscious effort today to stop it. God's Grace is forever sufficient for all but you've got to be willing to make a change. Do away with all the pornographic materials, Dedicate your life to Christ, fill your time with positive activities, devote time to your studies, surround yourself with the right friends and soon, this addiction will be a thing of the past.
Shalom.

It appears you have a lot of time on your hands.

Try getting married, having a lot of children, and really struggling to take care of wife and kids.  Then you will understand the meaning of true love (not the wishy washy emotions you battle with now) and sacrifice. You will then put everything in its proper place.

Woteva u do and your mind condemn is sin
woteva you're doing and not comfortable with must be done away with
if you feel guilty after it then it is sin so stop it because the sin you don't stop
will stop you.
So my dear talk to God about it and determine to stop at all cost
flee every appearance of evil
avoid every avenue that makes you indulge in it
go out more than staying indoors
Watch and wash you tots by the WORD of God
God sees the sincerity of your heart and He will see u through

Hi my Guy,

If u can dream it then u can achieve it as I said before.  It just takes a lot of patience, dedication and lots of discipline on your part. Ok?

With these u are kool!!!

Hi King01

This is going to be a bit long, so you might need to print it out or jot down the essential points!

I admire your confidence and is trusting God that as you have stepped out, He will meet with you.

I want to assure you that you are not alone. It is an area of contention for many! Sexual immorality in its many forms - either for unmarrieds, marrieds, etc is an area of struggle in Christendom - View -http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2000/june12/29.32.html, http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/march5/1.42.html, etc.

Sexual immorality can start very subtly and lead to many other things. At its pick, it debilitate against a fulfilled sexual life in marriage & has led to break up of marriages. I'll spare you the spiritual logic for that.

Well done for taking the step of coming out unashamed!


On to the practicalities -

1. The 1st and greatest step in dealing with a challenge is accepting that it is there.

2. You need to identify what triggers it and deal with the trigger. As an example avoid company of friends who are into pornography. If you keep visuals, magazines, etc destroy them.

3. If you are a churchgoer, seek the counsel of your Pastor or a Spiritual authority that you trust. There are what we call spiritual strongholds and you would find they require some kind of spiritual higher power to break the chain/hold. Sometimes an act of physical deliverance is required.

4. Seek a couple of Christians that can pray for and with you. People who would call and ask you how was your night, day, etc and encourage you.

5. The fact that you are accountable to someone, also puts an element of conviction in your heart each time the desire comes.

6. You need to study scriptures that are related to sexual immorality - go to the back of your bible, if it has a concordance. Begin to recite them continually. The enemy can not contend with Gods word and presence, persistently without being defeated. He'll try, but ultimately, powers have levels!

7. Do an online search on sexual immorality, sexual addiction, consequences of masturbating, Christianity and pornography, etc. - http://www.firesofdarkness.com/pornography_addiction2.htm  When you have an understanding of what makes it unacceptable, you are better strengthend to have a real practical reason to resist.

8. Learn to charge your environment with spiritually uplifting songs. I know you are young and your choice of songs might be . there are lots of radios stations, channels that have contemporary songs.

9. You can contact Christian websites and anonymously seek prayer and practical help.

10. If you still require help, get intouch and let me know what State you are in and I might be able tol ink you with a Christian male mentor, to help you through!

If you need, I can also get info on some websites that deal with the issue.

I am praying along with you and trusting God to make His power manifest to you. Who knows how many more have the same challenege and would read this, enabling them address the issue in their life.

To God's deliverance & power in your life.

I see a great future in you!
