Very addictive vices but it can be overcome. For Christ has died on the cross to take away our sins and risen to give us eternal life. From your statement you called yourself a Christian I'm not arguing with that but at the same time you have chosen just some sins that worry you despite the fact that there are so many,e.g you mentioned lying so casually like it does not deserve the same punishment as lust which it does. You said God loves you but hates the sin, also remember that it's the sinner and his sins that will be cast into hell on judgement day. So I'm going to plead with you to start over, understand your depravity by sincerely trying your best to stop this sinful habit and sincerly admitting how you have not been able to completely stop it. Then go to the scriptures and read Romans 10:9 again prayerfully. The Lord will hear you and He will do a new great thing in your life. Our God is a mighty God and there is nothing that He can not do. The scripture says 'a new heart will I give you' brother, this is real for you will hate the sins you once loved and love the Lord, His word and His people. Shalom.

Bro by the Lord grace you will be out of these..

Let me give u some hint I used to dump that devastating life style.
! Never you be idle, read motivational books once you know that you are idle.

!! Get marry if you can but if not get a girlfriend

!!! Write down your goal of not watching anything porn for the first 2 months and write it down on ur note pad or jotter book and place it beside ur bed anytime the urge come, sighting of the book alone will help you to focus on the goal at hand

!!!! Never you follow the advice of demons on Naira land here shouting up and down that it is not the cause of ur problem. Personal I don't believe on God but the act of masturbating is a crime against humanity and totally a wrong practice.
It bring down ur IQ, you will have low self esteem, poor communication with the outside world and a total shadow of ur self.

Stopping masturbation is a very very difficult thing cos it can be so addictive. The worse is that the western world always have a way of encouraging it, they keep saying it has some health benefits blablabla which I find to be a pure farce. Just get married and fulfil every erotic desires u could ever think of. But the question resumes again do married people masturbates? Of course some do, that means marriage doesn't make one stops masturbation but it may reduce it sha. Look bro, it takes a serious discipline, as in very very serious one to stop that very sweet energy sapping rubbish. May God help us.
Go and marry, go and marry.
Shey na everyone get money to marry yet?

Good morning everyone.

The subject refers,
I am a Christian. However, I have been struggling with a whole lot of non Christian like habit. One of such habit is watching of pornography and masturbating. This habit has lingered for more than 10 years now.
I am an introvert probably what has made it worse and perpetual.
I don't like this act. But I usually still practice it.

I believe God loves me but he hates this act. I really don't know how to STOP IT.

Pls I need help. This has really affected my relationship with the Holy spirit, myself and other people please help.

Also I have discovered that in the past 2 years i have been so disorganized, and forgetful.

At work I have been termed a LIER. I feel really embarrassed with myself when people give me something and I forget I have been given or I don't know where exactly I kept it. Then I will be asked of the same thing I won't be able to find it. Sometimes I deny it was ever given to me because I can't remember It was ever given to me.

This has brought me a lot of struggles at work(banking) and has made me ever so frustrated with myself.

I WASN'T LIKE THIS[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] before. It so unfortunate this is happening to me.

My prayer life too has gone down the drain it's zero. I attend church service Sunday however due to the current lockdown I can say I don't have any relationship with God!

Please I need help
So it's pornography and masturbation that caused all these? You really need to rewire your thinking processes. You need to have a positive stand and strong positive thoughts about yourself.

If you are strong spiritually, you'll overcome. D one thing I've noticed about masturbation is, d need kicks in when you alone so try not to b alone or baba go marry

Happy Sunday to you. I really appreciate your sincerely about this matter. The way out :
1. First recognise your weakness
2. Do away with anything that leads to pornography, like sex books and magazines destroy them completely, delete all sex materials and pictures in your phone, computer and the rest, remove and destroy all the sex calendars and pictures in your rooms, stops listening to music that stimulates sexual things
3. Run to God for Deliverance with assistance of a true servant of God
4. Get engaged to avoid loneliness and immoral thoughts
5. Stop visiting sex sites and videos by blocking them completely and make up your mind never to go back again.
6. Determined with serious holiness and prayers
7 keep good company of friends that will change you for good
God bless you

All of you saying "Get a girlfriend" are just modafucking hypocrites (permit me to sound vulgar). You condemn masturbation and justify fornication, can you listen to yourselves.

Also, for those saying "Go and marry", not everyone is in a position to get married, some are not financially stable, some are still young and just starting life, some are students. Konji is not a respecter of anybody.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not justifying masturbation, but I just feel it is foolish to condemn Peter and praise Paul, furthermore, marriage is not a remedy for sexual immorality, married people still masturbate, married people still cheat and etc.

The thing is simple, if you want to abstain simply occupy your mindset with things to keep you busy, doing it once in a while has no repercussions (health-wise).

It only takes the grace of the Holy Spirit for one to be sexually pure. Y'all take a seat.

Disregard those advising you that it's not bad. Masturbation and watching pornography is bad and very addictive.....I was in same boat with you for 12 years until I told myself I will stop....it was already ruining important things in my life, getting a partner will not help you will even enjoy watching porn and masturbating than even being with your partner.These few steps helped me

1.Cry unto God in prayers

2.Make conscious efforts to stop

3.occupy your mind with other positive things.

Masturbation kills a man's joy, puts you in bondage,you loose control of yourself amongst other evil thing it does.
God will help you brother

But what is wrong with Masturbation?? An Adult having a self sexual satisfaction na him una dey quote plenty scripture like this

You want a single man with no girlfriend not to masturbate And you cry wolf at child molestation, Rape and sexual harassment??

That’s why you all push broke boys to go and marry! You think say marriage na small pikin play??

You all should get a grip!

Any man after adolescence with no adequate sexually satisfaction go masturbate!

Start learning a paid online course. Start a garden and start a mini poutry farming. Engage in fasting like two days in a week to reduce your body sugar drastically . Avoid foods that boosts your blood sugar like beverages. Avoid staying alone.

Food releases dopamine. Sex between two people that are in love/lust would release dopamine. Listening to certain music you love releases dopamine. drinking water can release dopamine. Scratching an itch can release dopamine. Even daydreaming can release dopamine

You'd agree with me that each and every one of these acts aren't really wrong on their own just because they release dopamine. Dopamine isn't the problem. it's when it gets out of control that problems arise like Gluttony, Extremely high libido. glueing headphones on oneself or dying of electrolyte imbalance due to consuming too much water, scratching your body till it bleeds, spend too much time daydreaming that you become lost in that virtual world

smellingKPEKUS:
tell me what is wrong and tell me what happens when addicted. you people sound as if masturbation is totally different from having sex
Most guys end up with inferiority complex,struggle with their sex life and even abuse their partners after watching porn and masturbating.I read a story of a guy who almost choked his wife to death while trying to practice what he saw in a porn video.It is worthy to note that most of these porn scenes influence the viewer unconsciously and lead to abusive relationships.When their partner or spouse leaves them,they resort to masturbation and become focused on making time to masturbate,often neglecting their closed ones and source of income.Then there's the psychological damage you won't even know about,not untill you end up with inferiority complex,loneliness and depression.If you, mr.smellingkpekus feel that it helps your life,then good for you.But there's absolutely no need to encourage others who may be struggling with it.
