		<description>Dear All,

Thank you all for being stong enogh to post, there are many that dont take the second step after reading the post which is to leave one for the next person and a reminded for your own commitment. Firstly, I fell through the cracks after being sober for several year. I was in school and enjoying my education and as a result didnt get much time. Then i started to work which use to keep the mind away from this shamful crime. I Decided i wanted to go back to school and get more  education and some how i got caught in a room with high speed internet and no one to look over my sholder (try NOT to stay alone NEVER). It is better to think about a love one and plan what you would like to do with them i.e. go out and have a good time. So now i am falling behind in studies and thinking it will just take a few min and then i can get back to work BUT NOO! it is evil and does not let you realize that you are spending several hours and not min. Well so here I am mid 20s and having to slap myself on the wrist for such a mistake. I have moved to a place where there are more people that i can talk and keep my mind active and productive. Just try to think what you could do to help all the poor people in third world nations by doing small project in the field that you studied in or will study, and if your younger come one you can get a copy of software and make some flyer or poster. Sorry going off on to a tangent. What i am tryin to say is like many said before me and proved that you need to keep youself buzzzay stick to a hobby and play sports and lots of it so that you are able to dream. People dream when they are tired and you want to dream that nice Red sports car with the top down wind in you face as you drive down the hills watching the horses race along in the rich green grass. This was an other way to help youself to start writing discriptive happy stories that you imagin or has happen to you with some addition to make it fun. You can always read them and remember the happy times.

Wow this is getting long. I am happy that this site is here to save us all from the door of hell. May God keep us all on the path of the pure faith and Enter us to Heaven. Amen!

I wish i could keep going till i fall asleep but then i would get an error and this would not be shared with you all.

O Parents please do us all a favour and be cheap and get slow internet and Net Nanny if its still there a software that monitors the porn.</description>

		<description>Looking @ pornography is I feel the most horrible sin to commit, yet i have been doing it since the 6th grade... I keep hearing that "It's normal" but it isn't, the only thing that is a result is the biggest guilt that you can have. I am a Pastor's son who is 16 years old, who is the drummer of a church, has a wonderful family, and a wonderful girlfriend that anyone could want. For a long time i have been praying to God to help me over come this addiction, sure everybody has their own addiction but pornography is the same as every other drug or addiction. Reading all of these comments makes me realize that I am not alone, and that there are many people (including Christians, etc) that are fighting this addiction. The only reason why I looked at porno recently is that i fell into the temptation (through censored commercials, etc) which made me horny. I lost my Girlfriend before because of Pornography but we got back together a year later because God is helping me fight this addiction. At the moment, I'm feeling horrible while writing this comment but at the same time happy because again there are many people facing the same problem as I am. I will continue to fight my addiction against pornography and I'll be sure to have God by my side and I pray that he can give me the wisdom to flee from whatever temptation comes to me because in the bible it says only Jesus was able to resist temptation and not fall into it. 

I thank whoever made this site and I thank everyone who wrote these comments and for reminding me that I am not alone.

If you want to join me in this battle and so that we can beat this addiction together, contact me in my email: YYTAKungfustudent@hotmail.com.
It is good to do this because the more soldiers that fight against the same enemy, the higher chance there is to defeat it.

God bless you all!</description>

		<description>I guess that all this mess can be avoided from the beginning if the parents warned their sons from the begining. It's a matter of knowledge.
At the begining you don't care for the consequences, then when you get mature you start thinking about the consequences.
It a matter of issue that all the parents learn their kids in the childhood that pornography and masturbation is a matter of death or life.

I want to add a comment about Daniel d.antinio69@yahoo.com words:
You said that women on the TV comes half naked;
I am a muslim, our religion ask the women to be veiled and to wear clothes that doesn't shoe their beauty so that no body fall in this addiction.
All the people in the west thinks that Islam is weird that it asks the women to be suited totally, here is the consequence of not suiting totally. Islam also asks men to avoid looking to women whom wear clothes that shows their beauty.
I hope that makes a sense to someone, please revise Islam.</description>

		<description>I have been accicted to porn and masterbating for nearly 20 years and it is time to stop.  God has been so good to me.  He has been so patient and kind.  I want to stop and can usually stop for a long time, but the desires always come back.  I guess we always have to be on the guard.  I think the single most important goal for me is to recognize the places and the times when I am most likely to be alone, that way I can set goals for myself to avoid those situations.  God Bless to all who are endeavoring to stop.  It is valiant of you to do so.  Jesus does indeed love us and in fact he even likes us.  He likes us so much that he was willing to die a brutal death just so he could spend time with us.  I am so grateful for his love for as the Bible says it is truely His loving kindness that leads us to repentance.  The Bible also tells us to confess our sins to eachother so that we may be healed of the sin that is entangling us.  Find someone who has the same goals and drive as you do and commit to pursuing a porn and masturbation free life.</description>

		<description>Hi there , I've been stuggling with a porn addiction for years. I'm now 34 years old and still single. Porn has ruined my perceptions about life in general. I was and still am a very shy person , and porn has become a cheap and easy substitute for a real relationship with a woman. I'm just now learning how dangerous this addiction can be. I've spent countless hours surfing the internet for hardcore pornography , time that was completely wasted , and for what? It's taken a long time for me to realize that those who produce and sell porn are taking advantage of us financially and spirtually. Thank God for this site and ones like it , for I feel like i'm finally on the road to recovery.</description>

		<description>i am writing because i have been addicted to porn and masturbation since i was 12 (i am currently 28). i never thought that watching porn and masturbating would be too big of a deal. since about a year ago i have been loosing my libido and sex drive and couldn't even finish having intercourse with my girlfriend. i feel frustrated. i have been doubting my manhood and i am not happy with myself right now. i was even thinking about taking medication such as viagra to help me keep an erection when having sexual intercouse, but i am a young person and i dont want to rely on medication. i will try to see a doctor about this problem because it is very serious. i posting this blog because i don't know who to vent my problems to. thank you for listening to my sad story.</description>

		<description>I am 30 years old and have been watching porn since I was 19.  For most of that time, (probably up until 3 years ago), I was convinced it was normal.  Or either I convinced myself of that.  TV, friends, music.  It all made it seem ok.  But my heart and concious finally cought up to me.  PORN IS DISCUSTING AND THERE IS NOTHING HEALTHY OR PRODUCTIVE ABOUT IT!!!  I still struggle with it but I have really improved in this last year.  I feel that porn is the reason for so many of my insecurities and failed relationships and I pray daily to totally get past it.  There will always be a scar because of how long I let it go on, but I pray and I ask you to pray for me to allow that scar to close up and begin to heal.  Jesus and myself will not have a complete and healthy relationship until I descipline myself through Christ to make the right decision every time I feel the urge.  
Making love with the woman you love is a beautiful thing and it should not be tarnished by hours and hours of viewed explicit material.  I've fallen in love with a wonderful woman and she has two kids from a previous marriage.  One of the kids is a two year old daughter.  It sickens me that (hypothetically she and I end things) if I don't get over my problem now, what if one day 16 years down the road I was watching that little girl, then a young woman, on video? 
 I feel so ashamed of my recent past, but I also realize that through Christ, all things are possible.  It takes time.  It will not normally happen overnight but it is happening.  Thank you Lord for sending your Son and for forgiving me of my many sins.  Your love and grace are amazing to me.  I will never be worthy of You, yet You love me still.  I'm so sorry for my consistent weakness but I thank You for having me on the right road to recovery.  
I will pray for each and every one of you above.  As I'm sure each of you above experienced, it's tough to get on here and write about such a weakness but I have respect for each and every one of you.  I pray that you are all at a better place with this than you were when you left your comment. Keep your head up and your sights on the target.</description>

		<description>hello I'm a christian and i have an addiction of watching porn but let me tell you that only GOD can take you out of that addiction These are the steps to overcome this first 
1) except JESUS as lord and savior
2) admit you can not overcome this yourself but only with the help of GOD!
3) confess your problem to a person you can trust so they can pray for you
4) DO WHAT EVER IS NECESSARY!!! I mean throw away all magazine of porn and movie's and canceling your internet and STOP watching T.V. because it's full girls coming out half naked.
5) pray every day and read the bible every day!
6) and have faith IN GOD 

God bless you

		<description>I curse myself every day because I have been unable to form a good relationship since my teen years, adolences years and now in my adult life.

I am now 31 and wish I could have all these years back or start all over again but alas! life goes on!!
I will not blame porn or masturbation but I solely blame myself for getting into it and allowing it rack my life. It is only I who can correct it and hopefully live life to fullest in my remaining days, months, years on earth!!

Tonight is my starting point by God's grace!! Please pray for me or email me if you have some advice or message! God bless!</description>

		<description>To the owner of this site, thanks for having the courage and care to provide help to others...may God bless you richly.
 
I have been addicted for about 15 years now, and I am on the way to recovery.  I was happy to find this site and the steps, which work very well.  I have been utilizing steps similar to these that I came up with, and all glory be to God for helping me through.  

For those who feel hopeless, rejoice and be glad!  For the mere fact that you are researching the problem shows there is a desire to quit and that is half the battle.  It takes a while, but it is achievable.  Measure your success in days or even hours if you have to and push for better from there.

To overcome this addiction, you have to embrace it.  Accept it as part of who you are.  I too used to masturbate about 3 times a day when I was in my late teens.  Then when the desire to stop came, I started by reducing the masturbation to no more than once a day. It was strange at first, scheduling masturbation into my daily routine.  This gave ME the control...soon I controlled it rather than it controlling me!

Cut the porn, but not cold turkey.  Seek less graphic material to resensitize your body to the graphic stuff; then stay away from it!  When you feel the overwhelming pressure to look, look at soft core instead of the hard stuff.  If like myself you look at porn at night mostly, then find a way to knock yourself out...I used to drink a full glass of wine and by the time the pressure to look came, I was too tired or already asleep.  

Burn your energy before it turns into the burning desire to look and masturbate.  Engage in a sporting or physically demanding activity that requires you to participate...for example, a coach or a team is counting on you.  Give it ALL you've got, so that by the end of the day you are too tired to masturbate.  

Find a replacement for porn that is healthy.  Find something else that interests you...it doesn't matter what it is as long as it is healthy.  It is OK to be addicted to stuff (for exmple living green)...just not stuff that is unhealthy.  Whatever it is should involve others.  Doing anything alone is very dangerous for a porn addict.

Know yourself, and hold yourself accountable.  Give yourself slef-assesments, and take a hard look at what happened whenever you 'fall', then guard against it.  For me, being alone meant I was going to find a way to self gratify thru porn; so I started avoiding being alone until it no longer was an issue.        

Watch what you eat!  There is a link between HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP (sweetner used in sodas, candies, and pretty much EVERYTHING) and masturbating.  Same for high quantities fo sugar.  I am not a scientist, but when I cut the high fructose corn syrup, the urge to masturbate drastically reduced.

Eat healthy and light.  For me, a full stomach meant I had the energy to go 'rub one off', especially if I just consumed vast quantities of sweet foods or fast food.  If I inadvertently ate too much, then I went for a walk.  It burned the food and it tired me out.  

Actively block out the images that are already in your head.  Focusing on those images will guarantee self defeat.  Stop fantasizing about sex...ignore the opposite sex if necessary.  Fantasize about other things like if you won the lottery or something.  

Porn is tricky, but you can control the addiction.  Lee (above) said AVOID, REPENT and TAKE NECESSARY ACTIONS...that is very good advice.    

GOD help us all :)</description>
