My name is Levi and so far getting distracted by porn hasn’t been a big problem, but every once and a while i will see something and it instantly clicks to watch porn. I’ve been overcoming it I just want to keep my promises to never go down that road again. Is there any way to make sure i stay on the right path?
Hey Levi,
A couple of things that we believe are extremely important.
1. Accountability
2. Setting yourself up for the win.
#1 is easier than it looks or feels. #2 can actually be the more difficult.
Setting ourselves up for the win is making sure our environment and actions are consistent with what we’re working towards. Sometimes we need to disipline ourselves to the degree that we have to give up (or lay thing down) for a season or sometimes permanently.
Example: Simple things like television or computer use might need to be re-examined to determine if they are stumbling blocks. The computer might be fine during certain hours but a problem at others— so knowing what your stumbling blocks are and the perameters that need to be put in place is a great step towards setting yourself up for the WIN!
Best wishes!
Hello! I am a 16 year old girl and have been addicted to porn and masturbating since I was 12. I was addicted for 3 years, I was free from it for over a year and during that time I had become so close to God. Long story short, I became addicted again for multiple reasons, I had stopped for 3 weeks, but it just seems like I cant break the chains this time. The temptation just becomes so overwhelming that I feel like I cant overcome it. I just feel so lost about this whole situation. I want to get the x-3 watch thing, but I don’t want my parents to find out because for lots of reasons. I sorta have an accountability person, but idk she doesn’t really ask me any questions and we don’t really talk about it. Help please!
Hi Lauren,
Sometimes the very thing we do not want to do we need to do. I would encourage you to talk with your parents or at least tell them that the computer is causing you areas of distraction and that you feel you need accountability. Just knowing your parents will see your reports should help you tremenously!
God bless
Hello All! I have been a Christian since a very young age growing up in a Christian home. I used to struggle with a porn addiction, but through the grace of God I have been porn free for a couple of months now! God does do amazing work!!!!!! But I still often find myself masturbating, and wanted to ask if this is Biblically wrong?? I no longer urge to watch the porn while I do masturbate, so as long as I’m not watching porn, is masturbation fine?? This is a question I struggle with in my life, and would greatly value your opinion! Thank you! God Bless!
We take the stance that God designed sex and sexual stimulation to be mutual in marriage- a gift to give your spouse. Masturbation only serves self. It has also been noted repeatedly mentioned amongst so many who have struggled with this that the body can become dependant on masturbation for stimulation and then is not as sensitive in responding to the mutual stimulation found with a spouse.
