I am having a really hard time with my boyfriend viewing porn/explicit sites (pictures/videos). We have talked about it many times and he knows my concern. He has admitted that it is a bad habit that he needs to break. He does not look at it that often (anymore) since he realizes how much it bothers me, but whenever I find out he has looked at it again it makes it harder for me to trust him. Is there anything I can do to help him and is there anything I can do to help myself cope with this?

I know this is hard and you have talked to him about this which is really good. You need to talk to him about it again and reinforce how this affects you and what you feel like when he does this. If this is something that you could not live with in a marriage you need to tell him this and ask for him to either get rid of this or that you can not move on from here. See if he will get accountability or some type of help. I am sorry that you are going through this but, you are doing the right thing by confronting this head on.
I’m a 20 year old Christian man who’s been walking with God ever since I was 7 years old and just like every man, I deal with the temptations of porn and masturbation. What happens with me mostly is when i go to sleep i get tempted. I wake up in the middle of the night and BAM temptation is lurking at the door and I give in. I’ve been dealing with this for such a long time and I want to be set free. Im sick and tired of asking God for forgiveness every single time I mess up. What do I do? How do I overcome this sin and get it out of my life. I’m tired of hurting myself, hurting God, hurting my future with the woman I’m with, and just sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Any help and guidance would be helpful. It’s like i know what to do but I can’t do it…I feel like I dont have any control.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated cause it’s time to be a real man and fight for whats right.

Have you spoken about this with anyone else? You need to get accountability from someone whom you know and will be able to call you out if you are acting out. This could be a friend, pastor, or even a family member. I know this is tough but, if you are seriouse about this you need to do this.
If the internet is one of your tools you need to get accountability software and a filter. Try X3 Watch and Safe Eyes.

How do i stop! I have been a Christian my whole life! I have struggled with this for years now! I pray daily that God would help me to stop it isn’t working or doesn’t seem to be working!?? What do i do!? It has lead me down a spiral of depression! I feel really bad! I cant stop!
God knows that you want to stop but, as amazing as he is He will not strick this down. He will how ever provide you the tools you need to do just that. You need to tell someone and let them be your accountability partner. You need to do this because this is like no other sin. Get accountability software and get a filter if this is your vice.
