The more you pray, the less you masturbate. The rosary is the strongest prayer in this regard – once I started saying it every day I never masturbated again. From a 2-3 time a day fapper.

I'm not familiar with the rosary. Could you explain or link me to a good explanation of it?

Personally I had to stop using reddit and 4chan/8chan completely and I only use YouTube now and this board now, also pray to Jesus to give you strength and willpower, also try meditation and most of all and this is the biggest tip that has helped me personally, go on a vegan diet

For me it was and being in community with other Christians. When you sin you harm not just yourself but the entire Body of Christ, and being in community made it easier for me not to sin for the sake of others that I love.

Here's a handful of rapid fire tips in no particular order: Wear a cross to bed. Educate yourself on the harmful effects of porn. Start fasting. Whatever device you use to look up porn, stay away from it near bedtime (or whenever you do it). Get a web filter or an accountability program. Most importantly, DELETE ANY PORN YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED. That's important not just for avoiding the temptation of looking at it later, but for the symbolic value of throwing that stuff away like the garbage it is. Pray more. Start working out and reading more. Find out what it is that makes you start thinking about watching porn, and avoid it as best as you can. Take a break from the internet.

You don't have to do all of this, of course, but you should definitely do some of it. Also, I'd look up Matt Fradd if I were you.

Good luck and God bless.

Thanks friend.

God Bless you too

Not being a degenerate helps. Masturbators are a scourge on society, and honestly, with how many Christians whine online about masturbation, I'm tempted to say that if anybody can be called reprobate, it's masturbators. I mean, I hope not, of course, but it looks like you guys obssess over that, or something.

But if you suffer from temptations, reading a chapter off the gospel is a good way to tone it down. You can do it until it's gone completely. The Scriptures are holy and communicate grace.

I don't have any scientific reason why it helps all I know is veganism helped me go from a couple days of restraint from porn and masturbation to weeks and even months, idk how it works exactly but partly I think it's because my mind is clearer and I can control myself bettter.

it's because you body has been emptied of a lot nutrients and your energy zapped

veganism is shit. try exercising everyday instead
