I know there's a thread for this, but I'm the most desperate I've ever been. I need prayers. Rosary's. Divine mercies. Cries up to God for mercy. Anything.
I'm stuck in a cycle of lust that is now out of my control. I cannot escape it. I feel it rotting my soul. Quickly delving into the worst depravities I can think of short of illegal material.
I'm pleading for help. I can't take this anymore. I am withering away. Please pray for me. Please ask God for mercy. I need divine intervention. Not advice. Not pro tips. I need the hand of God or I will die in my sins.
God bless

Luckily for you its lent, time of abundant graces. Do fasts, give alms, and pray. You cant serve two masters, so if you are serving God properly you wont fall to porn.
I shall pray for you. You'll get the graces but you'll have to accept them. So banish pron from your life regardless of your wants.

I'll pray for you, anon. I'm also going to recommend a resource that I mentioned in another thread recently - a book called EasyPeasy.
https://easypeasymethod.org/
I know, you said you don't want advice, but I implore you to at least read the first three chapters, and see if the wisdom within inspires you in any way. It benefited me and I think it could benefit you, too.
During this Lent, I'd encourage you to kneel down in prayer every day, even hourly, and with all your heart pray these words:
<Behold, O kind and gentle Jesus, I kneel before you and pray that you would impress upon my heart the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, with true repentance for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment. At the same time, with sorrow I meditate on your five precious wounds, having in mind the words which David spoke in prophecy: "They have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones."
Also, do not hesitate to disregard demoralization tactics employed by >>853862 and others, who would sooner tell you to "watch porn boldly" than recognize the necessity of repentance.

I can't stop fapping no matter how hard I convince myself not to. Longest streak I've ever had in the past year is 5 days, longest ever is two weeks. I'm immensely depressed over it and don't really know what to do with myself from here. All I want is to go to a mass and receive Eucharist without a mortal sin on my soul. I really hate myself for this.

A common lie that the jews tell. If I'm wrong, tells us what part of Mit Brennender Sorge "helped" the "Nazis"?
Yes, the Church made a deal with the German government. Yes, the Church in Germany was overrun by liberation theology (which was communist LARPing as Catholic clergy). But even the Zionist made a deal with the German government (The Transfer Agreement) which was far worse than some deal to allow the church to continue in Germany if they didn't denounce the government.
I mean, if you want to get into this, the protestant churches found similar problems with the jews, but at least the Catholics ruled that you can't harm them!
>covered up pedophiles
Some Catholics, even in the clergy, are wicked sinners this is true. The same is true of Protestants. The difference is, protestants believe in rock throwing.
>and worships Mary
A common falsehood told by protestants.

Here are your instructions:
1. Pick a day and spend an entire day praying. This upcoming Saturday or Easter Sunday is a good day to pick.
2. Literally stop using the internet entirely. Do not come back.
3. Fast. Eat just one meal a day. No sugar.
4. Whenever you get the urge, or a wicked thought, make a fist and strike your thigh with your knuckles (not the ones closest to your palms, but just after that).
5. Never be idle. Idle hands are the work of the devil. Commit yourself to work or other chores. Start and finish the day with at least half an hour of prayer each time.
If you do not follow these with all your heart He will hand you over to destruction. God bless you.

I was on a long nofap streak before the epidemic started, but I fell into recidivism, and now I'm slowly recovering. This is why I'm here, because of the urges. The lack of sex is not even the worst thing, but the loneliness and lack of direction. I can get myself in shape and find a girlfriend, but I know it's sinful and leads to nothing good. I feel there's nothing good I can do, apart from learning to be happy with abstinence again, and trusting on the Lord for deliverance in my life.
What advice can I give? Always try, any kind of streak is better than no streak, every masturbation you avoided is a sin you didn't commit and a victory.

I've relapsed a couple of times since posting this. Made it over two weeks at one point, and 8 days (I think?) before my last relapse. I've fared much better since Lent began… Currently on day 6 of being PMO-free, which isn't much granted, but it feels as though I've ascended to a higher mental state. It's amazing what detoxing from porn does for your mind and body. I implore everyone struggling with these addictions to not give up.

If you don't stand naked in front of a TV for hours on end, touching yourself, then you're "prudish"… This is what modern society has come to. I've just started reading 1984, and it's remarkable how Orwell predicted the elites would use porn to subvert the common citizen.

Am I the only one that has not fapped in 1.5-2 years?
let me tell you something anon's. And listen well:
PLEASURE is NOT happiness.
That is it. I came to the conclusion years ago as an atheist.
essentially I realized that it is NEVER enough (pleasure) It is like filling a blackhole. My biggest fault tends to be instead wrath.
I tend to fall into vainglory, puncturing myself purging the world of its vanity and vapidness.

My longest streak was 4.5 months, then I found a gf and had pre-marital sex which I shouldn't have done. The truth is, lust wasn't even killing me but the loneliness was. I could imagine going indefinitely longer if I had sorted that out. Even at church there was nobody I could relate to.

No. PMO is nevertheless pervasive among young adults, even in the Church. Among young Catholic women, even.
>PLEASURE is NOT happiness.
>essentially I realized that it is NEVER enough (pleasure) It is like filling a blackhole
Yes, I learned that truth a long time ago. Putting it into practice, however, was much more difficult for me… Once EasyPeasy educated me on the effects of porn, I found myself far more able to resist its temptations.
>My biggest fault tends to be instead wrath.
>I tend to fall into vainglory, puncturing myself purging the world of its vanity and vapidness.
Since my conversion, I've had a particular disdain for materialism, and everyone in my family but me seems inclined towards wasting their money on worthless junk and hoarding it in their homes. My mother owes me a great debt but has a penchant towards buying and gifting useless things to me (seasonal gifts, stuffed animals, picture frames, undersized clothing, etc.) instead so my home becomes filled with junk, despite my protests. I have a room in my home dedicated to the storage of such junk, and that admittedly angers me. I need to remind myself to be charitable towards my family when such situations arise.

For me, I have also been struggling with low self esteem issues. Today I had a meeting with people involving me joining a program that helps special needs adults, and I embarrassed myself and upset my mom. I wished to be far from the world as possible. I hate having to deal with a world I do not understand nor comprehend. I am told to love my neighbor, but I do not really understand my neighbor. I have become fearful of my neighbor and wish to be left alone with Jesus.

Im approaching nine months, had some urges at first but after like 2 months pretty much none bar the occasional passing one like once a week or the like. I put on a bit of weight since then (maybe like 10 pounds) but im trying to lose it. I guess i'm just lucky because I foudn quitting porn and fapping to be easy. Wrath is my weakness, its very easy to make me fly off the handle

I will say that the only thing I have a penchant for is food. I DO spend too much time on the computer.
As too your disdain for things people give you…see if can…VERY charitably say to them that you will be VERY glad to take money as a gift. For me, I tend to be blunt (thanks autism) and see things differently.
Tell your mother, firmly and gently with charity that you would like to be paid instead.
To me, I don't understand how people can't be more or les forward with what they say. My brother for example if you ask him something, he will say a lot without saying much. WHY… do people have to play these stupid mind games when talking. I tried using R/Catholicism for a while, but I find that place…off. I was concerned for example with the Covid-190 and the shutting the Churches and I was ridiculed, saying that I was being ridiculous, that I did not care about the sick. That made me become really misanthropic.
I despise the modern world and would GLADLY sing as it burns. I see the world burning…and I can only wish it burned faster…
I no longer am proud of my country…I feel detached to a degree from my family. I sometimes don't know…who I am to a degree. I try to hard to fit in. I have been going to church for 1 1/2-2 years…and I hardly know anyone there. I am I am like in some ways a kid, in other ways an 80 year old codger. I am a misfit who wants to find his place in this world. : /

Thanks, friend. I had another talk with her today and think I made some headway. A shame it had to be done on Easter, but she naturally wasted her money on candy she knows I don't eat so I charitably explained why I couldn't accept anything but money towards the outstanding debt.

That sounds like me, in many respects. As much as it pains me to say it, I feel more close with strangers at Mass than I do my own family. I hope you are given opportunities to meet more people at your parish. In my case, I was very fortunate to have been invited to join the KofC, book groups, a position as a lector, etc.. Those are the easiest ways to meet people. Sadly, you may need to take the more difficult route of approaching people and introducing yourself or jumping in on a conversation. A very attractive girl introduced herself to me before Mass a few weeks back and I made it a point to sit next to her today and chat. It was intimidating, but good practice and the only way I could get to know her better. Some people still have antisocial attitudes thanks to the bug, so the last year has not been the best time to meet new people anyway… Don't despair, brother.

Since late april I started to do noporn/nofap after 6 years of PMOing almost every day. It has been good so far, I haven't watched any porn since then. I eventually decided to masturbate once every ~6 days since I'm still in the late puberty s— (18 atm) but I do it without porn. I have no problem with "regular" porn right now, only when i sometimes think about hentai i feel like im missing out on something but I'm trying to erase this feeling. Remember; daily prayer, willpower, work and a book called EasyPeasy will help you with this.

Before the Nazis used the swastika it was a common religious symbol that decorated churches all across Europe. Even protestant churches. The crucifix was originally used by pagans to signify their opposition to Christianity. Symbols only have the meaning we give to them.

From what I know, masturbation shouldnt be a lifetime process but more of an (sadly) activity bound to growing up. It is meant to be very sporadic both during puberty and among lone men. I 100% agree with what Church (both Orthodox and Catholic at this point) thinks of onanism and it is one of those things that you are meant to erase by entering marriage, as God intended it be. In the end, humans are very imperfect beings and I think that masturbations is one of the consequences of Adam and Eve's sin.

I posted about this in the other thread but t bears repeating here.
I have sexual fantasies about women fainting in front of me and getting to carry their semiconscious bodies in different positions. I try not to masturbate, but when I do it's usually to one of these fantasies. I don't have a porn collection, but I do have a folder of pictures of women lying down in sexy ways. They're more like pin-ups than anything else.
I'm not sure how I would translate this to marriage, I would probably have my wife dress in corsets or period dresses and pretend to faint to show she's excited.
I'm not sure how 'perverted' that is by your standards, or if it would be sinful to act out this fantasy in private within marriage.

This video helped me quit sexual sin. He just has some good reasonable advice.
What I personally have to say about it is that it's a constant battle. You need to remain diligent every day, avoid all things that will tempt you, and remain in constant prayer. Don't bring your phone into the bathroom, avert your eyes from girls in skimpy clothing, etc.
When I think I may be tempted by something I'm about to do, I pray for Christ to lead me not into temptation but to deliver me from evil that I may not be tempted, and to fill me with the Holy Spirit, and bless me with the self control of the Holy Spirit, that I may walk in the Spirit, and honor Him in all that I do.
For me personally, reading Galatians 5 and coming to understand the importance of "walking in the Spirit" is what really convicted my heart to want to stop sexual sin, and by God's Grace, through prayer, I've been blessed with the self control of the Holy Spirit, and I've been able to stop commiting this horrible sin.
Don't get confused though. Walking in the spirit is not the cause of your salvation, but a by-product of salvation. Salvation is a gift from God that you recieve solely through faith in Christ Jesus if he has chosen you to believe.
