I need to know whats wrong with me..and im really hoping im not the only one :
Nick,
It is not uncommon for guys to have these thoughts. it all depends on how you respond to them, if you push them aside and move forward not a big deal. How ever if you are acting on these thoughts you could be leading yourself down a very slippery slope.
Have you spoke to anyone you know about this? I would suggest that maybe you talk to someone in your church, parents, or a youth pastor. I know it will be uncomfortable to do this but, it will get you accountability that is needed. Please know that we are praying for you and that you are not alone.
Dear bretheren at XXXchruch. I have an enquiry about giving ones self sexual stimulation (masturbation) I am aware that most people either view pornography or fanatasize when they masturbate so I ask you this. Is it okay to masturbate so long as I am not watching porn or fanatasizing about my girlfriend? Is it okay just to do it for the sole purpose of feeling the chemical realease afterward? thank you in advance and god bless.
Our stance is simply this: you want to live a life that is honoring to God then start pleasing him and stop pleasing yourself. Stop making excuses and get some control over your life. Yes, it is tough. Yes, we know hormones are raging. However, God is calling us to holiness. Live an extraordinary life. Masturbation will leave you hanging every time! It is a selfish act that pleases no one but YOU. God created sex to be between a man and his wife. Not a man and his girlfriend and not a man or woman with himself or herself.
Hi, so i have been addicted for about a year now. I want to stop but it keeps overpowering me. I dont have the money to buy the programs:/ and also i feel too ashamed to confess to someone about my problem. Is it really nessacary?
I can promise you that this is something that you will not be able to get through on your own. Confession is a big start to this problem and bringing someone in on this with you as an accountability partner will provide huge strides in your healing.
You can talk to a friend, parent, youth pastor, school counselor. i know it is tough but, you can do this and it will be worth it. please know that you can get the X3 Watch program for free on your PC or Mac.
Please know that you are not alone and we are praying for you,
