Addicted to masturbation
What started like a mere play 4yrs ago has become a serious struggle for me, taking away my sense of purity each time i indulge. I have read books, listen to healing tapes and prayed about it but i just cant help myself. I really do want to stop this sinful act but where do i begin. Every time it comes on me, it seems as though i have no control over my flesh yet i am such a wonder worshipper who really loves God and desperately want to live right. Please anyone who has been through this struggle and overcame should help me stop!

Kid,
There is nothing wrong with you masturbation is totally normal, not a "sinful act". There is not a man alive that as not masturbated. You sound like a teenager who's hormones are going wild, like every other teenager, just make sure you clean up after yourself. Don't worry about it, it has nothing to do with your faith.

I dont quite agree with you. For starters, i am not a teenager, i am 25 and getting ready to settle with a man i really love.. if masturbation isnt a sin, how come i am so embarrassed to come b4 God evrytime it happens?? i know i need help and as God lives, I will get it cos I am determined not to end up like this. I know what the bible says about my body,I should be holy. I'm just having a struggle like millions of christians out there..if Mary Magdalene got healed from her past, I too will!!

Hey Man,
If you want to make Prov. 27:17 and Eccles 4:9-12 a regular part of your lifestyle, then I have a battle plan for you. You can email me at wheatonwr@hotmail.com if you're interested.

i dont know if that guest guy is kidding, but ignore him. IGNORE HIM!!!!! he is VERY, wrong. it is totally awful and i am also addicted! i know whats its like and i wonder if i'll ever stop. God has things so much better for us, and we totally are putting off his plans for us by our selfish sexual act.

This is my first time writing on xxxchurch but i also struggle with this addiction to masturbation. I am 23 years old and have struggled with it since i was 13. Throughout the years i began to see God's call in my life is to be pure. Masturbation is a selfish act that pleases only yourself. The best place i started was by asking God in deep and passionate prayer and also if you have someone there you trust to talk about it, esp if it is your pastor or someone you look up to. I noticed that in my life it only goes away by exposing it to the light. when we keep it a secret it stays and becomes worse. I hope this helps and i will pray for you

Aaron I have to say I agree with you. For a while I've kept my struggles a secret. But little by little I feel better about sharing my story with people here because I know they won't judge me. I use to be against speaking about my life because I was too afraid. Now, it doesn't really seem like its a bad thing. It just beings healing.
