U may be right... but are there no Christians who don’t watch porn...??

Let me try to answer this as politically correct as possible.
Occasionally a Christian might find himself trying to be righteous and in those moments he may actually resist these things but like everyone else he also finds himself in times of weakness where he falls for these temptations and runs to God to ask for forgiveness for haven fallen.

That said, at the end of the day, no one is holy, we all fall for these sins. It is human nature. Romans 7:15-20
Is there a way to truly overcome it? I can;t say.

Its not an easy road getting rid of porn. Some stay off it for weeks, months or even years but eventually give into temptation. It's a weakness beyong the control of many.

Read the bible, worship and pray. Avoid it as best you can.

Most importantly, when you fall, no matter how many times NEVER let the devil win! ALWAYS return to God in repentance. REMEMBER you offended God not the devil, never allow his accusations get to you because God's unending love is there for you regardless.

Stay rapturable. smiley

People associating porn with spiritual tendencies you guys are lacking proper education and are way backward.
I frequently have sex with my partner so I don't really watch porn. The effects of porn are not what you guys are mentioning here.
Here are the effects of porn addiction
1. Erectile dysfunction
2. High dopamine level in the brain and that's bad
3. Losing interest in Girls or relationships
4. It can desensitize your androgen receptors
5. It fuels anxiety
6. It sometimes causes one to be an introvert.
7. It makes you seek out hard sex positions with your partner

There you go.
You cannot actually fight porn addiction you just have to minimize the consumption so as not to affect your sexual well-being.

You are right with the listed effect of porn...however, a person’s disposition to carnal habits always have affect on his spiritual position.... the more physical/carnal a person is, the less spiritual he is .... it’s that simple...

and I completely disagree with you last paragraph....porn isn’t food, it isn’t even something you need..people have been having sex long before video sexual became a thing..
....so how can you say porn addiction can only be reduced...must a person watch porn??

It is a matter of your state of mind. Use your free time thinking about positive things. Read your Bible, pray, attend Christian activities. Get involved in evangelism. Always rely on the grace of God not in your power. Relate more to things of God and people that will help you. I will join you in prayers. It is not by power nor by might but by the spirit of God.

Get married

Those of you quoting me should get married and see if the urge to watch porn will nt reduce drastically,then with a strong willpower and fear of God it bcms easy to stop completely

That's not a solution, what if he/she is not of marriageable age?

He needs total repentance from sin. He should discipline himself. And he should be born again, not a church goer

Friend, some gimmicks or self-development programs might work a bit or not at ALL depending on some factors; but ultimately, the main solution:

1. Be Truly Born again

2. Surrender All to Jesus

3. Fear God and obey his words

(Or do you have any of these above? Farfetched!)

Sorry, I had to repeat the same idea in different words. But honestly, that is the solution to your Life: go to God and commit yourself to him. He'll make you new and glorify himself in you: if you are willing. You don't need the opinions of people; Repent, go and settle your case with God: He is the Creator, respond to him.


May Jesus bless you.

I appreciate your honesty. The truth is most people will over come porn due to age progression as naturally the libido weakens. Secondly, spiritual growth for Christians coupled with a weakening libido helps... we are human and these things happen.

But truth is porn is destructive to our walk with God. Someone testified that as soon as she was able to resist the temptation to watch porn and masturbate, something she had been praying for a long time happened in less than a week... God hates sin.

leave that environment that the urge is coming from, fill your heart with listening or watching Christian music and movies, then pray to God always to help you

Learn how to control your eyes, the urge will be there,especially if you are a guy and you don't have friends much, you are always alone. You just need to learn how to manage depression. That thought always come to you when you feel unloved or depressed.
Re: As A Christian, How Do I Resist The Urge To Watch Porn? by peacettw: 11:46am On Oct 25, 2020
I guess it all stems from the strength of your relationship with God. If you have a deep respect and awe of him, porn should have no power over you.

Think of it this way, if your boss urges you not to be late, do you still give in to the temptation?
Re: As A Christian, How Do I Resist The Urge To Watch Porn? by pacificom: 11:49am On Oct 25, 2020
The addicts of pornographics fall into two categories. The first are those who are sexually gluttonous with high sexual demand and the second are people who are just psychologically addicted and their crave is limited on sighting. Getting married to a partner who is on the same sexual wavelength is the solution to the first, while prayer and deliverance are the solution to the second.

Be practical.... don’t be theoretical......
holiness is not a jeans that u buy and possess for ever.. it’s is a walk and a journey of continuity

Everyone experience phases of christain growth. The day you give you life to God through Jesus is not when you stop all your sinful / Unhealthy habits....
.some habits will leave by daily feeding on the word of God I.e through understand....
some will leave by the power of the Holy Ghost..when you receive baptism like the apostles did at penticost. .

You ddnt start to commit sin by your self....as early as age 3 or 4... children start to lie and display greed .....it’s not you that will automatically stop sinning...
U can excercise willful self control which will not last....it’s only God that can set one free after dedication and continuity in Christ Jesus..

That's why I said you not a Christian. A Christians is an overcomer. Someone who has fought with his weakness and won. Not someone still undecided weather to continue in sin.


Note. There is still much work to do long after you have won the battle of lust and other nature of sin. You still have the work of the father to commit to. You still have help to render others. That's when you are a Christian. When you have out away childish things according to Paul. Am not judging just saying.

So don't start by saying "as a Christian" cus you not.

Rather I want to be a Christian but am struggling with lust of the flesh.

Christ loves us even as sinners so no problem de inside. Christ means strength so pray more and he will see you through

But it's true nw. cheesy
Shebi God sees all. He see everything.
He's always watching.
When you fornicate, he's watching. When you're doing doggy style with your partner, he's watching.
Even when a child is being raped, he's always watching. Abi no be so?

You need deliverance

That's reality bro. When you have been addicted to porn it cannot be stopped completely but controlled. If however you were never addicted to porn it's easier to avoid it completely.

How does one gets cured if porn addiction gets him this?

It will take 90days of no Porn or any sexual content for your brain to return to normal state and within that few months, you'll experience some changes like wanting to leave your comfort zone, High confidence, no more anxiety and Erectile dysfunction. It will be so easier to partake in anything. But getting to 90days without porn can be hard for some people and that's why we have Nofap community on Reddit that monitors the last time you viewed porn.
It's kind of a motivation as you'll meet people like you on the journey to 90days
