It gets easier once you get over the hump. Keep it up, guys.

I recently had a setback on day 31 with viewing adult content and felt like I indulged, but I stopped myself before I went any further. I didn't really fap but stopped after I relaized what was happening and I prayed. I confessed it to God and my accountability partner who is also my spiritual teacher from church and we prayed. I'm not counting at as a relapse because I feel if I were to do that then it would encourage me to do a full PMO. I would only count a full PMO as a relapse. I'm just confessing my sin here for accountability too. I made a note of it in my PMO recovery app. I made a promise to not look at the adult content again. I was able to do one month clean without any pornography.

How does a accountability partener work ?

I got introduced to porn years ago and feel like I had the addiction forced on me. I want to stop but I keep failing.

Hoje me confessei e foi realmente ótimo, o padre estava com um pouco de pressa então não consegui descolar um direcionamento espiritual, mas acredito que tudo está voltando ao normal. Sim, continuo sendo uma viciada, mas agora sou uma viciada redimida então tenho mais uma chance de me livrar disso, conto com as orações com vocês!

This past week ive been getting temptation so often and i cant run to God enough. I feel like i am the same as before. Whenever i think "fresh start" i just lose again like i just did. Please help me and pray for me guys, i dont want to stay stuck in this cycle, but i also cant let go.

Like many others, porn has retired my brain significantly, I went from watching straight porn to lesbian to trans porn, now femboy porn..like what the hell bro, i mean i no longer watch nor touch myself like that anymore, and ik still attracted to women both sexuallly and romantically, but now I'm also sexually attracted to men( and it's only when I'm aroused) and I now do butt stuff.

I think disappointed God more than anyone, instead of becoming an instrument of good like the bible instructs, seems like I've become one for evil, i do want to change, im trying to change, I don't even know why I watch that stuff, I have no reason.. maybe boredom?

I just wanted a place to confess, I've always wanted to confess.

So Im on day 7 right now and going strong right now. What has me concerned now though is that I let myself go so long that I practically seared my conscience to the point where I didnt feel guilt or shame with PMO anymore. As Im breaking through this I am starting to feel the guilt and shame of having done that for so long and how messy that is. But Ive been praying alot and doing some recommitting of my life to Him, but how I used to feel the Lords presence so close, i now cant seem to feel him. Its like theres a disconnect making it feel like, am I forgiven, does He hear me, why do I feel empty inside like Hes not with me?

Even though I haven't been touching with my hands, I learned a few months ago that I can just squeeze through the thighs to get a semi-orgasm. And I've been justifying it to myself, saying it's not real masturbation, and have been doing it with increasing frequency. Today is the first I've done it twice in a row, and I'm convinced I need help, because I feel dead in my own spirituality and feel unable to muster up the will to pray.

So I am married and enjoy regular sex with the wife. But seen to still find my way to reddit once or twice a month.

I am straight but porn leads to some weird things and end up finding like minded guys to master bate with online. Why do we do this? I know it's wrong and I am straight but always ending up trying things with guys online.

I also feel porn has twisted my brain and find myself attracted to hung guys online. I don't know what to do

Always feel terrible when I am at church, but always ask for forgiveness. However would like to conquer this.

Hello everyone, I’m here to offer you some encouragement and share my own story. I have already written a few posts about my testimony, but I will try to summarize it briefly:

-Single from one year

-22 years old man.

- I became a practicing Christian a year ago. I truly began trying to follow God around August, though I was still relying on my own understanding and my own desires; I hadn’t yet fully surrendered. I was off to a good start—reading the Bible, praying, and so on—but I wasn’t yet a true follower.

- That only happened a few months later, around mid-September.

- I began to hate sin and prayed for God to deliver me from a destructive addiction: sexual immorality (in a general sense).

- In October, I began this journey; whenever I felt tempted, I would pray for God’s help—even using the simplest of words.

- I continued to read the Bible and pray almost every day, which was a great help.

- After many months, I felt so close to Him, but then I fell back into sin and began to doubt God’s existence—or at least the existence of the Christian God. I even came close to renouncing the Holy Spirit, who, up until that point, had been helping me fight and get back on my feet.

- A few weeks later, I returned to God, having realized that He truly exists—a conviction that grew as I studied the Bible more deeply and prayed unceasingly for His help. Furthermore, I began experiencing sleep paralysis at night, and I would sometimes wake up unexpectedly, even though I was getting 8–9 hours of sleep.

- Since about a week before the end of April, I have been free from this habit—it has now been nearly six months.

What I want to tell you is this: no battle is too great, because there is Someone greater—greater than these temptations, and greater than we are ourselves—our God and Lord, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I want to pray for the whole subreddit; guys and girls, we are never alone... we just need to surrender ourselves to God's love.

I say this even though I am still often tempted—even just by erotic thoughts or dreams (or waking up wet).

I don't know why or how to avoid these latter things either; I don't feel entirely free from lust yet, but every time I strip it of its power (by fleeing to God), it’s as if I’m left alone for a while.

I don't know if you are going through a similar situation; I’m not particularly worried or doubtful, but I do feel a bit unsettled sometimes..

I am still very young, and I firmly believe that if I finish my studies soon and entrust every burden to God, I might find someone with whom I am truly compatible—ideally, someone with whom I could build a home and start a family. I know that if I continue to resist temptations—by avoiding certain websites and steering clear of provocative images—and, above all, by praying for God to remove these things from my life, I can succeed in this plan. Please understand, I do not view God as a genie in a lamp; rather, it is as if He were a partner in this endeavor. I also know that, as the Gospel of John says…

• 1 John 5:14: “This is the confidence we have in him: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”

Here we go again! 🙏 This time, I want to count my days in 15-day blocks, which I think will make the journey more interesting and challenging. One day at a time, by God’s grace! ✝️

Is it too late for me? I’m an 18 year old male turning 19 in a couple of days, and I’ve struggled with porn addiction since I was 12. I’ve tried to quit countless times, but I always seem to relapse. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even know if I want to quit anymore. I know pornography isn’t good for me, but I feel like I can’t help myself.
Watching porn has also left me feeling confused about my sexuality. I started watching lesbian porn, but over time, I began watching gay porn, and now I’m slowly starting to find men attractive. This feels strange to me because, for as long as I can remember, I’ve only ever been attracted to women. Even now, I still picture myself getting married to a woman and having a wife and children.
Honestly, I just want some advice and reassurance that I’m not alone in this.
I think part of the reason I turn to pornography is that I’ve struggled with fitting in and getting into a relationship with a girl for most of my life. I’ve always been told that I’m ugly, and I think those experiences have affected my self esteem and the way I see myself. Pornography may have become an escape from the loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted.
My addiction has even led me to post pictures of my penis online, and honestly, I don’t fully understand why I did it. It initially started as a way of trying to get attention from women, but over time, it gradually became a habit. Looking back, I think I was searching for validation and attention in places where I felt I could get them, even if it wasn’t in the way I originally intended.
I’m tired of being stuck in this cycle, and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I feel confused about my sexuality, disappointed in myself for repeatedly relapsing, and insecure about my appearance and my ability to find someone who genuinely wants me.
I just want to understand myself better, break free from this habit, and know that there’s still hope for me. I want to believe that I can change and that my past mistakes don’t have to define the rest of my life.

So first off I am still young and a virgin, inexperienced with women.

I am not trying to shame women or suggest they are all wh♡res.

And I know men nowadays do a lot of sinful stuff too, it takes two to tango after all.

But everytime I try to be good I see another IG post by a supposedly "good" christian girl from my town where she shows her body. Or I hear of another "hoe story" by a girl I know. Or I hear of another christian wife and mother cheating on her husband.

And then I feel defeated and humiliated. I turn to porn to cope.

once in my life was I able to beat this. I was single and I was seeing different women giving me the variety and fun that I needed to no longer care for porn. It was a year and it was the longest in my life id gone without porn/masturbation

fast forward to now, in a 3 .5 year relationship and I use porn for the "Variety" I can no longer get due to being committed. she's unhappy that I use it but accepts it and I myself just dont want to use it because I know its harmful.

I struggle because after work I spend tons of hours alone on the couch when she's asleep and I have nothing going on. (I work the midday to midnight shift). I always go to the gym and even sometimes to the supermarket and then do laundry etc. sometimes thats enough to keep me away for that day but the other times it's this insane battle. what is it that works for you guys long term especially when left to your own devices?

I want to get the benefits of nofap. Fostering a development of better health. Stamina, libido, and no PMO. I'm going to finish these 16 days strong, push myself to work out even more, Prayer, make more pamphlets for the community. I want to lose weight, build muscle, and show myself what true leadership is. I became certified for Personal trainer. And want to help others develop healthy habits. Actually engage with the woman I desire. Hopefully a nicer woman that not just finds me attractive, but a lady I can build with, protect, and enjoy a life of romance with. A lady that can feel safe with me, and wants to engage with me on all levels. Finance, sex, and just spending time.Be comfortable, promote health and overall happiness I want to be able to caress her nice body and we can mutually pleasure one another.Kissing, foreplay, and stroking her body. Learn what being a lover is about. But all of these are blessings that every man is not entitled to. Take control, and be a leader. I want to be very good at investing, get property, and become even more humble. Have romantic partners from all different races. I never been the type to discriminate. I loved Black woman as much as Indians, Latinas, or White ladies. But Hispanic woman I like a lot because not only the ladies are charming but I will always remember growing up at YMCA camps, how well Latinas treated me. Not only that, how welcoming this lady was that I met back when I was 24. Also. She invited me over the next day and it felt good kissing and massaging one another.She was happy and very pretty with cool hair and great breast.And we were drinking Hennessy.I can't honestly remember a time where I've felt more wanted. And this was 11 years ago.Also doing boxing, I had an event where I got a trophy for my grades, and the ladies there were so happy and I will always remember the smiles on there faces.I also remember how happy my Mom, Sister, and Aunty was. There I saw short Latinas my age with good shape and buxom that looked Indian almost. But like Grandma always say, boy I just want you to love yourself more, you can't expect, it from others, that is just a blessing. But I am going to be more assertive as well though. People call it thirsty, but you will never succeed without making effort with anything in life. I want Brown Indian Mamas too. with mega bust. I just want to rebuild my body. Stop jerking, and see myself with all these woman I imagine. Holding hands like other nice couples I see, and have a life of intimacy. I want to be one of those guys that stopped PMO and not only had a great sex life and girlfriend, but the most sexual gratification, love, and success Ive ever had in life all together. Fuck watching people have happy endings on screen, but be the one getting them and helping females orgasms first. But it's not just about sex, just treating these ladies good, and admiring their lives as a whole.

Talking about Canopy. Sounds awesome right? Everything and anything lewd is blocked. The problem is:

1. It hinders the use of Chrome for browsing
2. It instead kinda forces you to install a whacky alternative server
3. When browsing, apparently the app surveilance is interpreted by your device as hacking.
4. I was still able to look up something lewd easily.

I'm feeling quite desperate here. If I can't use Insta, the door unlocking app for work, Youtube, or even just browse, I don't see me going through with paying $120 yearly

My question is now,

Do any of you brothers and sisters in Christ know any smart apps (that allow your device to work properly) that block nudity? Do you have recommendations of apps that work well for you or your children? Thanks in advance, may God bless you all.
