He wants you to repent, anon.

>>688936

I just don’t understand why God made the male sexdrive so strong and intoxicating that not fapping causes withdrawal. I don’t think I have the disapline.

>I just don’t know what God wants or expects from me.

go and sin no more?

He gave you a sex drive so you can master it.

Anon, I feel for you. Don’t give up hope no matter what. God’s will is revealed step by step and no sooner than you are capable of understanding. In the mean time you must do good for yourself.

I want to share an experience with you for what it may be worth. I spent the summer working overseas everyday in contact with the soil, busying myself with other people’s lives and having my own life busied with. I had a few steep moments but as time went on wanking and hypersexuality just became irrelevant to my existence. I found myself living a normal life with God at the center, I talked to people normally, there was no desperation fear or loneliness that brings so much ugly sin. My sexuality took its rightful seat and was never called upon out of lust. The pain of a sinful caged existence bled away pang by pang until it simply had nothing to feed on anymore.

When I returned (to the U.S.) I immediately felt the atmosphere of depravity and numbness that drives everyone to such deranged desperation. Despite having been abstinent for over four months I fell on the second day, and I felt acutely just how much of a locked up animal I am here and how abnormal this superficial way of life is.

Don’t despare. Satan always finds a way to make us desperate. Maybe you need some time to fix your life. Empty words about mastering your libido are bulls___, what we are dealing with is a superhuman struggle between God and Satan. Discipline is a luxury of the strong, when you are debilitated you need to work pebble by pebble always in the right direction. You need to believe with all your heart in the goodness there is, throw away your pride that hinders progress, don’t expect and demand from God His answers.

Go confess and be forgiven. I really hope all the best for you and that you can find the pure love of Christ to be able to help those who surround you instead of expecting something from them.

You're in a tough situation, anon, but it's important to realize the true dept of it.

I trust you know we have to crucify ourselves, but that's not our only battle.

We don't wrestle only against flesh and blood, but also "against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world" (Ephesians 6:12).

We are in a war. The moment we forget this, is the moment we're losing.

God will never let us be tempted more than we are able to handle (1 Corinthians 10:13). If we are enslaved to our lusts, then it means there is demonic activity in our lives. The goal of demons is to keep you from knowing Christ, and if you do know Him, to keep you from serving Him effectively.

They will do everything they can to take us down with them into the lake of fire. They will try to deceive, entice, and compel us (of which they have thousands of years of experience). Putting thoughts in our minds, trying to make us believe that giving in to the lusts isn't so bad. They will tempt us in our moments of our weakness, but keep in mind that when there is a temptation, there is a blessing ahead that they don't want you to receive.

Be not discouraged by the suffering you experience, because he that suffers in the flesh has ceased from sin (1 Peter 4:1-2). Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). Keep your eyes on the Lord, and be cleansed through obedience of His commandments (1 Peter 1:22, 1 John 1:7).

Hey anon, very tired atm so I'm going to keep my post brief. You can overcome this lust, even if its just one step at a time.

>Since highschool I wanked to 2D porn and erotica (no live action) either

>Wanked on average 3-5 times a day

>Kept this up for 6 years of 3-5 times a day to hentai etc

>Eventually become Christian

>Manage to go 1 week

>Then manage to go 2 weeks

>Then one month

>Then 2 months

>then 3 months

>then 6 months

>then a year

I recently caved after 14 months regrettably. And the whole time I was staring at disgust at my screen and the whole experience is very unpleasant. Baby steps anon, if you have a strong belief in God start pushing yourself and working on getting better and better at fighting the temptation.

Also don't look at any porn with sodomy or any weird shit. Don't look at porn at all obviously. And when you're lonely remember that God is with you, sometimes it may not feel like much. But He has comforted me on many a lonely nights. I'll pray for you anon. God bless and good night.

Not the same guy but I have a similar dilemma. For the most part, I can go without porn. However, there is a particular work of erotica that has, in my mind, a compelling story. You could say that I read it moreso for the narrative and less for the porn itself. How can I quit porn when the porn itself isn't the thing that's compelling to me?

You shoupd stop fapping progresively. 2 weeks, 3 weeks. 4weeks. Don't think that fapping can be cured in a day. It's a process. Takes time.

For a small moment take a step back from the life you’ve been living and look down at the world honestly.

There are plenty of testimonies, religious works, and literature written by honest souls cutting to the bone of the dilemma of human existence, attained in a purity of mind. Even one of these stories is enough to contemplate on for years.

At the complete other end of the spectrum we have the entertainment business with its monthly demands and deals, and the hectic atmosphere of putting something out coupled with the desperate will to make this month’s rent.

I am not devaluing the compelling nature of the bits of drama and literary art that surface in the pool of the sex industry; but in the end you have to recognize what it really is. Why are you chasing compelling stories, a thrill out of habit, especially at the *ss end of the universe? The sexuality accompanies it. You have fallen in this area for a reason.

It’s the same as a whore who cooks you breakfast after the night is through. Even if you may only be coming back every time because no one else will cook you eggs, you’re still committing a sin every time.

If you truly feel it’s a problem then you already know what to do, repent, pray, seek the untainted and the beautiful to contemplate on.

Same anon me and my gf have been having outer course. I feel terrible and scared. I wanna be pure. I waa really depressed for 6month after my qt3.14 ex broke up with me and it feels like downhill ever since. I've stopped going to church and reading my bible. I wanna be a pure Christian I'm not even sure what denomiton I am.

Do you go regularly to Confession?

The Sacrament of Penance really helps me fight against masturbation and pornography.

>>688945

Oh that's ez. Its there as a motivation to get married and have children (the other comments in this thread are also correct BTW). Jews know this so they made women sluts and made marriage infeasible for the vast majority till you're like winnie the pooh 30.
