Casper21:


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.

That’s not the reality...The only habit that cannot be stopped totally is eating food....

There’s no other habit you picked up in this life that cannot be stopped....especially something unimportant as watching a video..

Ask your mum. But we are currently busy

Wetin bring mum for this matter...
nawah ooo.

Firstly, thank you for opening up and not letting the devil drown you in darkness. You disarm the enemy when you expose his works.

With that said, the ONLY antidote for sin, (in this case porn), is the Word of God! Psalm 119:9&11 say - how can a young man stay pure? By obeying your Word...I have hidden your Word in my heart, so that I might not sin against you.

However, you must be deliberate (like Daniel, see Daniel 1: and consciously choose to turn away from all forms of ungodliness and weights and sin that easily beset you.
Hope this helps.

Grace be multiplied to you!

Good morning.

Please I need suggestions.

What kind of prayers should I pray when the temptation arises, which Bible verse should I read?

Please know this is someone who's been addicted to porn for more than 7 years.

when you have the urge to watch, tell the urge if it wants to kill you let it do so you won't watch. It will disturb you but it won't kill.

Porn and Masturbation are like 5 &6

You made me remember my school days... One night, I was asleep, woke up at the middle of the night and saw my roommate masturbating seriously on the room floor while facing the laptop. I was dumbfounded. I had to force myself to sleep back that night ooo. But come to think of it, is it possible to watch porn without masturbating? I don't think so.

You won't understand cos you are not a neurosurgeon and addiction to things affect the brain in a different way

Porn addiction is so different from other addictions as it pumps more chemical than any addictions. Don't need to explain as you won't understand

James 4:7, submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.

I use to be like you but I was able to stop watching porn, I gave my life to Christ and made a decision not to ever do that and I prayed for God's grace and to God be to glory, I have not watched porn in a long time.

I thought freebasics was the ultimate solution to porn n masturbation till I saw settings see ehn the only way you can avoid porn is by denying yourself internet access completely.cos common 100mb wey dey ur phone is at risk of being Victoria Caked or Shyla Styled

If a non Christian can resist the urge without prayer, you have no excuse as a Christian.

But it's true nw.
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?

Like you get all excited watching cockroaches do their thing. The fool has really said in his heart that there is no God. The bigger fool keeps typing it.

All of us are guilty of this, the only way to stop it is to engage in meaningful and spiritual exercise like listening to sermon, praying always, reading holy books, putting your eyes off women yansh (or yanshes ), breast and other sensual area. See, if u wanna conquer, u need to engage your mind with other things, dont stay idle. There is nothing in sex, our mind knows how to fool us when it comes to intercourse, a man phallus entering a hole, there is much in life than sex, try to develop love for God, the urge would disappear. self control and discipline is needed in overcoming this also.

My brother Christianity is more than a religion; it is a way of life, a life led by the spirit of God.
So my advise to you is to first seek for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and I tell you pornography would be a bye gone

Explain how biko, how is urge resisted?

You probably have been glorifying porn all your life by watching it for some minutes a day then you start feeling guilty afterwards. It gives you pleasure but a guilty one. Find one weekend when you have some privacy, waste some precious & unrecoverable time of your unique life watching porn unhibited all weekend. self-service & self-service & self-service till you start asking yourself if village people dey pursue you.. By Monday morning your brain will reset & you start wondering what's special about this porn thing. Next time the thought comes you find it easier to realize that you have better things to do with your life

*This one is street advice o not a christian one but result is what you need. Prayer works too or you just combine street with prayer

First of all it starts with a conscious decision and effort from you to quit looking at such explicit content, futhermore avoid looking at any triggers such as those hot chics on the cover of cosmo magazines, Instagram or even be it on facebook, and since you believe in the existence of a supreme being it will be in your best interest to ask him for help also.

Casper21:


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

Ok bro, thank you

You cannot cheat nature, there is nothing wrong with sexual urge, sex or watching porn , this is nature, every creature is doing it, you just have to find balance since too much of everything is bad except too much money.

ILoveDemMANNA:
One of the first steps you should take is to remove the source of temptation from your phone.
Then, instead of planning how you can do the things that have kept you in bondage, consciously avoid situations that expose you to watching porn.
Don’t lose sight of the fact that with time your healthy sensitivities and wholesome desires will grow, and the power of your addiction will fade into insignificance. Also, remember that God doesn’t judge you solely on the basis of your failures but on the basis of what you can become through Christ.
Although your sin is an offense to God,
But, he always loves you.

This is a mild way of peddling false truths..
half truth and half-lies

It's not possible. I used to be a victim. Any person that watches porn, masturbates. And soon ,you'll get addicted and will stop it, only by God's grace.

70%+ of Nigerian youths with smartphone watches porn these days. Just get their phone and head to the history of their browsers, we'll be wowed.

Resist??! You mean 'Avoid'!!!

Once you avoid the ease of access to porn, you already are on the clear path to resistance and abstinence.

Avoidance simply involves removing the access: Internet, especially in privacy, novels and books with erotic imagery or description, gatherings which promote erotism...

Prayers and fasting can thereafter take care of the rest!!!

Doing the latter without the former is a spiritual exercise in futility!!!

By smashing as many pekus as you can.

From personal experience, no easy way out. I've not heard of any deliverance ministry or a prayer point that does the magic with a touch.

The WILL to stop is the first step, until then there won't be any meaningful progress. Once you made up your mind, you will know that only you can save you and no one else.

Right within you is the power to overcome (it) but you have to tame your senses first. The morbid urge that hijacks your mind at will needs to be under your control. Forget the pleasure attached, the damage is bigger that what you can imagine.

Be bold to read every negative testimonies and write ups about pornography, it might help your decision. Then, cut all forms of pleasure to the necessary minimum.

Your sense organs are the channels to your mind, be very strict about what you feed them. All forms of pleasure mute the spirit within, therefore, guiding your sensory intakes is your sole responsibility.

Your addiction is a blessing in disguise, but not until it pushes you to restructure your life. At least, my own being a lonely war of many years as pushed me onto a stage of one life purpose; only God matters.

Although, my own understanding of God is not the conventional type, it has no religion affiliation; it encompasses all. He is right there within and without you, it's personal and universal.

John 12:24
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

You (your senses) have to die for God to emerge, affiliation to any forms of belief isn't enough, they are just pointers for people with eye.

Each time you relapse, pick yourself up brother. If I can be free, anyone can be.

During your spare time try to read a verse or chapter in the Bible to soften the urge then look for something productive to do. Most especially what you like and channel your energy to it to fetch you money.

The urge will come at some point despite doing all these but you must remain determined. In the end you will be less addicted and porn will make no meaning to you anymore. It's just a fruitless venture. I have been in your position a long time ago.

Wow. Na so Dem street been de day Sha. Ada owerri I hail o. Ur color de represent

Galatians 5:16
[16]This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Your strength is in the Lord, quote scriptures when the urges come, give your self to prayers. A prayerless Christian will be weak spiritually. Wage a war of faith against this act and I tell you, you'll be free
Talk to someone of faith if there be a need, because the longer you linger in that sin the deadlier it is to your faith
May God help you

9jayes:
Nothing bad as a Christian to watch porn, you'll learn from the act

Everything is wrong with it. You're being enslaved by devil through your uncontrollable urge.
