I have struggled with this porn addiction since I was exposed to it at school at the age of 13/14. I have promised God so many times that I am finished with this and will not masturbate or look at porn again. I really felt that when I got married, this burden would only get a lot better to bear and would disappear into the distance. My relationship with my wife however, was based on physical and sexual connection from the porn of all types I had been exposed to and exposed myself to. On two occassions, my wife even walked in on me & I somehow was able to explain it away. I don't knowanymore how to stop this terrible disease in my life as I feel that all I have is slowly slipping away & I am losing touch with reality. I have even blamed the lack of frequent sex in my opinion for my reason to masturbate. This terrible disease has taken so much away from me over the years. Years that I will NEVER be able to recover. My prayer is that my Father God will intervene in my & so many of your lives in dealing with this terrible curse & deliver us from this once & for all. Stay strong & truly believe that what you ask of Him, He will hear you and deliver you. Don't wait too long to change or to make the quality decision that with His help, you will beat this curse in your life & live the life He has called you to live. God Bless us and empower us all in this road to release and recovery. I am a husband and father of 2 wonderful boys.

Paul of the New Testament had a thorn in his side, whatever it was, and God was aware of it. Each of us have a thorn and weaknesses. Pornography and Masturbation have been my Achilles tendon. I naturally started masturbation at age 12, and realizing the negative effects it had on me, I began the struggle to quit. I at one time quit for over 2 years then relapsed after a relationship gone bad spiraled me into it's grasp once again. Moments of IDLENESS is when it gets me. And when the temptation crosses my mind, my sense of reason goes haywire and I become careless. Carelessness numbs the feeling in me and even though I list why I shouldn't relapse, I still fall victim to it. If I don't immediately surrender my will, it lingers and lingers, and pokes at me until I'd rather get it over with then have it fester in me. But to get it over with is a cover up and is not short lived, rather, it grows and latches on you. Justification and rationalizing always get me into trouble. My justification is that I'd rather avoid weird and often times gross wet dreams at night and do it in a more sensible way. That thinking is hot wired in me and tends to trigger my inclination to relapse. I have realized and know the pattern of my downfall. I know what triggers it and at what times I'm most vulnerable. I know how it affects me and how it has left some desolate. Then why can't I stop? you may ask. I think the bottom line is we are given agency, the freedom to choose and despite how petty or powerful the temptation is at the very moment it's staring you in the face, nothing will save you but your own will. God leaves it up to us. In the moment temptation cornering me, it's as though I see and hear God at the surface as I'm underwater being pulled under by a demon. He wants to save you but knows it can only be left up to you. He can't interfere. Though it may seem impossible to break free from it's grip and pull, every temptation is escapable. You just have to fight it as though your life depended on it. And in a true sense, your spiritual life depends on it. I am endeavoring to fight off the demon in that very moment it's latch on to me, and will desperately try to hear the muffled faint voice of God and prove to him myself, the strength I have to stripped the hands of the demon off of me and overcome the urge to relapse. It's then that we surface and hear very clearly the voice of God and feel of his love. God knew many of his children would struggle with this and therefore made for us an escape out of it...our freedom to CHOOSE. Choose the path less travelled by and your reward shall be great and eternal. God bless you all in this great struggle and in the very moment temptation latches on to us, may we have the will power to fight it off and be at peace. Thank you for reading.

I am so pleased to read from so many people all over the world - ready to overcome this evil of pornography. It shows that the problem might be universal afterall, but not invincible. I am 28 years of age. Going down the memory lane, I began watching porn at the age of 17. Then, it was a peep and nothing more. I always felt disdain for the pictures, pity for the actors… but a certain curiosity kept me going back to it. I must confess that I began seriously watching porn, graduating fast to hardcore around 3 years ago…. In my recent past, I have devoted hours upon hours to watching various forms of pornography. It is disgraceful. I even missed school one day, because I was engrossed in the porn I was watching online. It has led me into masturbating…a habit that leaves me wasted and tired. It robs me physically, emotionally and spiritually. I’ve learnt through my experience that Pornography is a passion that drives man to a bottomless pit. The passion can never be satisfied. It craves for more and more adventure. Lurid Sites that pissed me off before soon became my favourite, and no later, became insufficient to satisfy my licentious desires. Pornography is evil. It ensnares its merchants, buyers and the sold. It separates one from Deity and Duty. It has affected almost all my relationships…family, friends and colleagues, coz I hardly have time for them now. Pornography has stolen my life and time. But I know that I will get them all back, because God is always faithful. He will heal and bring us back, when we go back to him. For all who are in this struggle, I dare say: DON’T GIVE UP. We might have fallen, but we are not on the ground. The harder the struggle, the sweeter the reward. If the prize is not priceless, then, the evil of pornography would not be so grasping. Keep up the struggle Hi.

They are where they because of manipulation and often unstable psyches. How many are missing children, kidnapped, how many are immigrants brought elsewhere on a lie...even its one...is that the one your looking at. Doesn't look so good now.
