How I Overcame Masturbation And Pornography After 14 Years by cybertyrant(op):
It all started when I was in jss1, I used to be innocent and very close to God in so many ways, but as innocent as I were that time, I was also curious to many things, smartphone was an attribute of a rich kid with rich parents, we often flock to people that got new phones, new games or action movies, some games used to connect each other, so we watch our class mates as they bet and play games, it was normal for students to flock to these people, majority of us did not have phones at that time too.
One day in the class free period, some students were seriously watching something on a guy's phone, I thought it was an action movie, but when I came there I saw what I've not seen before, I was shocked, I immediately left because that was not what I expected I was also confused, they called it BF(blue film), in the initial stages of my innocence I thought blue film was the name of the company that produced the movie, but I happen to be wrong, this BF people were still watching it, but that first scene damaged my innocence and my mind, at occasional period when I beg a classmate his phone to watch movie I tend to come across this BF, while I tried in those period to not watch it, I was curious because I haven't seen it before, when I watch it my penis erects rock hard and it hardly goes down, I suppose I was in puberty so I guess it's normal for a hard erection, I tried to hide my penis between my legs, it affected my walking and I use book to cover it sometimes, tight boxers wasn't a thing back then, I had to solve this issue, after several occasions and months I tried to simulate the feelings to quench this erection, I tried it in the toilet and the first ejaculation was really an experience, tried it multiple times before it became an addiction, I knew this was wrong and I did pray to stop it over and over again, I still considered myself a child of God but my damaged innocence really affected my relationship with God, I still believed in Him, I've had a lot of experience with Him so I understand if He distances His presence for He is Holy and I'm not, I prayer sometimes He wouldn't answer me unlike before, I knew it was the sexual lust that was hindering me, but as years went by it went from very often to less often, from 5x a day, to 4x to 3x to 2x, in toilets, bathrooms, bed, chair, table, sink, bush, uncompleted buildings, at work, at night, at day, different lotions, soups, saliva etc, at some point I was a chronic masturbator, I knew masturbation was sexual immorality and according to catechism it was a mortal sin, i made several efforts to stop, sometimes I fasted but end up doing it the same day, It was terrible, it was as if I was a slave to lust, I watched different categories of porn on different sites, one thing I noticed as you watch more, you become hungrier for more, something more spicy, newer etc, it was spiraling out of control, I tried not to watch family related categories so as not to influence my moral comprehension and not think a terrible thing related to that. Years went on and on and on, i think even when people get girlfriends it's not a solution to that, masturbation is an addiction fueled by pornography but sometimes when that feeling comes you don't even need to watch it, I visualize it, these was things I was a slave to. For 14 years it was as if I was never going to be free, till early this year though I was still doing it occasionally but not everyday, sometimes if I was in a prayer programs I can stay 2 weeks or a bit more, but in that prayer period I had a rapture dream that I was among those to be raptured to Heaven, though I was still in prayer that period I thought to myself that the event must be getting closer, but I later backslided days after and masturbated again and then I had a terrible dream when I was left behind and I was pursued by people that was trying to kill me among others who were with me, the tribulations had started, it was scary, I believe this was a sign, I began another personal fasting and prayers 12am-12pm and I pray after, I did this for days , though these lustful thoughts come to me when I reach the bathroom to bath or to do it, I rebuke these thoughts and I force myself out of there, whenever I want to bath I do as fast as possible to quickly wash myself and not touch my penis in a way that will trigger an erection, I was becoming disciplined of myself, cautious, soon those lustful thoughts began to discern from my own natural thoughts, I begin to recognize what's my thought and what's not my thought, soon those thoughts that weren't mine began to turn into voices and then I began to rebuke the spirit of lust and unbinding myself from the grip of this spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, soon after these thoughts/voices began to fade away, day after day, and I can testify that Jesus has set me free, 7 months and still going, I have never felt more free than I am now, and previously I have never gone past 1 month(in good health) during that 14 years of bondage without masturbating.
The aftermath of over a decade of pornography and masturbation which I have now stopped is slight trauma of former events, images I try to erase show up sometimes, I try to forget them and I even go as much as mutilating myself in my thoughts to distract my brain from the trauma. I know I'm healing, and I believe in 12 months time there will be a huge difference from now, though as a smartphone user pornographic images can pop up on adverts or on different platforms I have to swipe past it without looking at it, any article that has sexual enticing content I avoid them, be it games or social contents.
I do occasionally wake up to sperm discharge weeks apart, I think it's my body regulating fluids in my body, it's not a spiritual attack, it's normal to have discharges, I just keep extra underwear just Incase.
Through the mercy of God I overcame the spirit of lust, and I believe if you make efforts with Discipline, Fasting and Prayer, God will save you.
To add to this a former occultist said that some demons participate in sex scenes, false gods are depicted in these scenes, when you watch them and sexually touch yourself, you participate in their ritual you indirectly worship them and when you ejaculate, the sperm or menses that you discard is accepted by them as your offering to them, we all know sex is spiritual and sexual immorality is a grave sin, it's has greatly affected many biblical figures like Samson, David, Solomon, it had them turn away from God.
The Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:22 to flee from lust it is not something you can manage, wrestle, fight, it says you should RUN from it.
I Hope this article influences someone's intentions, decisions and characters.
The Lord is returning soon, repent of your wrong doings before it's too late. Shalom

Testimony scams are scams. Encouraging people by feeding them false information is a known way to scam them. undecided

It is a scam. And I prefer to call it out for what it is. undecided

The one way to overcome indiscipline is to adopt discipline. This is the case for all human beings, no matter how long it takes each to do so... essentially, human behavior 101. undecided

I'm 21 and I started masturbating when I was 18 that was in 2022 a year after I finished secondary school and for the past 4 years I haven't made any achievements in my life I really wish I could free myself from this addiction but the problem is that whenever I manage to go a whole week without masturbating voices in my head will start giving me reasons to keep masturbating but I always ignore those voices and that is when the urge gets so overwhelming that It leads to a relapse right now I'm on day 5 and I now very well that by day 8 or 9 the urge will get overwhelming again and I pray God gives me the strength to resist it and quit this pathetic habit entirely
