Sexual, Masturbation and Porn Addiction Help Forum

So, you just masturbated, you feel down, you feel lonely, you feel angry with yourself, life is awesome to just waste time in this, why?

-I will tell you what to do right now.

1. Calm down. There is another choice, there is time, there is love, there is friends, there is hope. Go get a snack, eat something! Think about a banana, something else, now relax, breath slow... think about China, think about how much people are sleeping right now, or how many monkeys are climbing a tree lol

2.Remember God still loves you, you got another chance, the end of the world is not here yet.(for the non-cristians, you got another chance, hey! Life is good)

3.Go get out of there! You hate "that" place, get out! Go hug your best friend/girlfriend/pet/a wall/father/mother/a picture, etc! tell them how much do you love them, think about all the things you want to do with them, talk about it if you feel like(talking helps a lot! :) )

4.Now, you were doing something before you masturbated, do that, continue your life, don't stop living! Remember who you are.

5.Well, now, you're calm, you quite, you feel sad, but there you MUST fight this, you must fight this quietly, strongly, and you should start right now.

6.Get a paper, or just think about the thing that got you into this, write it on paper or on your mind. Remember you're strong by just NOT accepting masturbation.

7.Plan how to stop this, plan how to stop the feelings that got you into this. Remember that this is a healing process, you will get out of this over time not magically! Now, i have thought of some things that may help you...

-Get a Filter: You watched porn? or are likely to watch it? Use Firefox navigator and install this Filter: "https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/4351?src=api" Configure it to filter sites with keywords and use it, put a security password.
-Go read the bible, that helps a lot, can calm your soul, ask God to forgive you.
-Get out of your home, do exercise yourself, take a walk, see the beauty of the world
-Talk with someone, get again into the life.
-Note how much days you lasted, so you can check your progress
-Increase your willpower, learn how to control your body, God tell us this is an important gift.
-Help others, i'm doing this ;)

Now, why i wrote this? i wrote this because i just did it, and i thought: "why should i start feeling like crap, when i can be fixing my life?, why i need to put a topic into this forum, saying "i just do it!", when i could just say how i feel, what i'm doing to improve, what i could share to others to help them with their own battle..." I don't know you, but i know what are you feeling like, this is a hard part of your life, you need to put your body/heart/mind into this.

Hope it helps. Less drama and more action.

Your an inspiration. You have touched me. And honestly I had the feeling and I still do right now, and it's hard to resist but I'm trying so hard..It has been like this lately..my will power has been incredibly increasing. And my masturbating has gone down. What inspirational words...thank you...

thanks! i really put in there all my feelings, i just hope that i can help you, even if i don't know you. It's great to know that i'm miles away from you and some words can be of help to others. =] I hope your will power gets stronger, mine needs a lot of work!

I have really mess up this week,everyday of it.I feel bad at first but get over it quickly,but sometimes I get the shakes,I just feel soooo nervous and jittery.Does anyone else ever feel that way?

I sit and think "I could have had great sex with my wife",but it's too late,she would figure something out when I couldn't do my thing.I say tomorrow is a new day,a new day that I fail,makes me mad.

I think I'll print this off and carry it with me in my wallet or download it to my MP3,of course I'd replace the word "masturbation" with "sin" or "temptation",just in case someone read it,like my wife when she plunders thru my wallet.I really don't mind because I have nothing in there to hide from her.

Thanks for these inspiring words,

You'll feel better, i feel sometimes very afraid and i don't get over it very quickly, but takes me 1-3 days, why don't you just try to control your mind, and replace masturbation with sex? That isn't a cure, but it would keep you busy.. Your wife can help you too!

Sometimes we're tired of fighting, but you must endure, and find the way to realize your issues that make you sin" and the ways to encourage you to keep away from this temptations!(like my post over there). That's a good idea, and if you are very expose to sexual things, maybe controlling that too would help.

I thank you for reading, and i'm glad i help you. =)

The shakes, I get those every once and a while..
I get cold too.

Thanks, Dan for your post. I only regret that I didn't read it and take it to heart earlier. I messed up badly last night. But, overall, I have been able to control myself more in the past 5 months than before. I need to focus on other things. I know when I'm going to masturbate when I can't help thinking about things that I know will arouse me. Sometimes I can put those thoughts out of my head, but yesterday I didn't. I think sometimes I don't think very highly of myself, and I do need to remind myself that God loves me, despite what I do. Thanks again.
