Porn, Sex etc **Mature Content**

Postby Mr. SmartyPants » Thu Nov 17, 2005 2:00 pm

Pray for all the males going through this issue.

I'd like to share a little testamony.... If you are struggling with this, you MUST read this. What I am about to say is extremely deep but VITAL for those of the Christian faith.

First off, i've never had sex. Keep that in mind haha.

I was lying on my bed yesterday, trying to go to bed. And God just totally hit something on my heart. Yes I am a porn addict. Or was a porn addict... I don't know I feel that I can break that addiction today.

This is what he revealed to me

When us males (or maybe even females as well) are first exposed to nude stuff and flesh and stuff. We're like "O.O WOOOAAAHH". Then we learn about masturbation. So we do that. Then it becomes a habit!

Then what happens? We realize what we were doing was boring, so we dig ourselves deeper, and deeper. Look at more erotic things and hardcore things. Look at different types of porn. And continue to lust to it and do scary things with our hands and reproductive organs.

We will eventually get to the pivotal point, where looking at that stuff does not feel good! It first gave us immense pleasure, so we continued. But that pleasure dies, so we continued to dive deeper, and expose more to us. To feed that hunger. To the point there IS nothing that can feed that hunger.

I was at that point. I viewed so much porn.... it all became........ just....... boring. Uninteresting. And NOTHING gave me a good feeling. (If you understand what I mean, Id rather not say the word.....) Nothing turned me on 100%, what first turned me on to the max, now only turned me on maybe 8-%, then 60%, then 40%, then 20%, then 12%... then 6%

Then I realized... "I don't want to look at sexual acts anymore. I want the actual feeling of sex". Because the actual feeling of sex would be better than looking at porn and masturbating to it. The reason I said that is because there was NOTHING that gave me that 100% good climax feeling like it did at first. And nothing interested me.

and at THAT PIVOTAL MOMENT. I said to myself "NO! NO WAY! I VOWED TO NEVER HAVE SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE! I DON'T WANT CRAVINGS FOR ACTUAL SEX! THIS IS AGAINST EVERYTHING I BELIEVE IN" Because once we go INTO a new thing that is fun and VERY pleasurable at first, it becomes horse crap and boring. So we will dig ourselves MORE into it, find new things. New sex partners, new sexual techniques or methods. To the point where there is NOTHING sexual that will fullfill us! To quote Volt, he said "you'll sexual'y de-sensitize yourself". How TRUE IS THAT? IT IS SO TRUE!

Little did I realize back then, which now I do. Because I craved for porn, and because porn got boring. Now I crave the feeling of actual sex.

The things we found very pleasurable and awesome at first, feels like nothing. First it's porn, so then it's sex. Because we hunger for a greater feeling. When we get to the point where nothing will 100% turn you on, we get TOTALLY de-sensitive our sexuality.

What I am saying is that there IS a point where there is so sexual method or act that is greater! You let yourself into these bad things, you'll find yourself wanting more and more. And those feelings will NOT STOP! You never will be satisfied forever. There is an ending point to that satisfaction and you will feel totally crappy. Only Jesus satisfies us forever and endlessly.

Notice that this applies to EVERYBODY! I'm not talking just about me here

Pray for me, and pray for anyone struggling on this matter for themselves to beable to stop.

I will pray. Lord you are our heavenly father and you really want the very best for us and not some cheap imitation. I know that your Love can conquer all situations. Lord that you place in the hearts of your people a greater desire to Love you more to be paitent to allow you to work in their lives, hearts and minds. Lord that as we read your word you would wash our minds and create in us new desires and thoughts. Lord that you would constatly remind us that you Love us and that you are our salvation by grace. That we would not continue to sin against you in any way but be willing to allow you to be the Lord of our lives as well as our Saviour. Lord you do not condemn us, leave us hopless and put us down. You convist us and encourage us to give portions of our life over to you.

Lord I pray for protection over the minds of your people and I pray that your Holy Spirit strengthen the resolve of all CAA members to follow in your steps and be more like you.
Love Light Life -
be these and it could cost you your Pride.
do not be them and you will sure keep your Pride.
But certainly lose your Love, Light and Life.

I'll pray for ya, Ryan!
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

You know... I realized that myself recently. Porn will take a person down a road that they're not ready for and extended exposure to it will leave you in a place that they were never meant to be. After much heart examination, I came to realize that, if given the opportunity, my virginity, the one thing I treasure more than the Lord Himself and (in my eyes) my ultimate gift of love to my future wife, would no longer exist. I can only thank God that the opportunity never came.

I will not only pray for the freedom of those who are struggling... but I will also pray for a breakthrough in our generation. I will pray that those called by the Lord's name yet bound by sin will turn away from their wickedness and repent... and that the righteous of the earth will awaken to truth and make their stand against the darkness of this world. Finally... I will pray that we as children of God will learn from Christ's example and seek to liberate the lost from their sin, instead of looking down on them.

May the Spirit of God and His truth reign in our lives always.

AMEN! I come in agreement!

And, true, it's not just a guy issue, -society just makes it look like all guys are into sex and girls only into emotional relatipnships.
-not true.

There is TONS of porn/hentai/ ESPECIALLY Yaoi addiction by girls,
I should know, before I was saved I was into that mess.
It happens to everyone who gives it a chance, it's the flesh, man.
And the flesh is EVIL. It's fallen! :shady:

So yeah, not just guys, but also girls! ( they just aren't so open about it, in general ).

Like said before, I'm in total agreemant! :D

You're absolutely right. It's all a progressive spiral downwards. Every time we give an inch we fall a mile. Each little time that I've given into those temptations, It gains more control of my mind. The images a person sees in porn/hentai, will stick in their minds and not leave. A conscious decision is necessary to stop. We can't just think that we'll just "do better" next time we are faced with the temptation to look at or take part in any sexually related sin. A predetermined process of escaping that temptation is a good plan.

and It's so stinkin' hard to keep a clean mind when society throws these images and thoughts at us in every form of advertising, but God says that there is no tempatation that a man sees that is uncommon to man. We can take comfort in knowing that we aren't the only ones. We also know that God says He will only allow us to be tempted with things He knows we can resist. So when that picture comes up on the popup ad, we know that we are able to resist, we just chose not to. He has given us a way to escape any temptation.

I have also learned that having verses memorized and readily waiting in your mind for when you are tempted reeeeallly helps. (I am a virgin and fully intend to stay that way till the day I either get married or Die) I will be in prayer for you and for myself and for our generation that we may break this rampant problem.

Porn is thogh one to handle and it is a temptation that is more addicting then drugs. I feel for you my friend and pray that you will never give in. I understand the struggle you are going through more then you will ever know and I pray that God gives you and everyone the strength to overcome evil.

The original Bible translation of sexual immorality uses the Greek word "Pornnais" from which the modern term "Porn" or "Pornography" is derived. Some people like to say that Porn is not condemned in the Bible, but when the Bible warns of sexual immorality it means porn too. It’s a sin, and a very hard one to fight, especially for us fleshly humans. "When I want to do good, evil is right there with me." (Romans 7:21)

We all suffer from some temptation, it may not be pornography in particular but there are plenty of other temptations. These are the dark secrets we wish to hide from others and from God. It is our personal struggle with good and evil.

Every day we long to be free from the struggle of sin. Temptation presses in upon us and too many times we fold under its hideous strength. Oh, to be free from temptation! There is no period in the Christian life when we are exempt from temptation. Some people hope that by simply growing older we will grow out of temptation but that unfortunately is not the case. The older we get the more we discover that the same old temptations, often in a new disguise, are right there besides us biting at our heals and seeking to bring us down.

Temptation is a reality, it is unavoidable, and the only time we will be free of it is when we are dead. But why is this so? Understand that while we are on this earth, the clear revelation of scriptures is that as Christian we are involved in a continual and irreconcilable war. But why would a Christian be involved in this war? Simply because the same grace which reconciles us to God, whose enemies we are before coming to trust in His son Jesus, antagonizes us to the devil who is our master before we come to trust in Christ.

Luke 11:21-22
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.

Before we were Christians we all were possessions of the evil one and an enemy of God. But when Christ freed us we become a friend of God and an enemy of the evil one. And the evil one cannot prevent that transaction but once it has taken place he will then bring all his endeavors to bear upon the life of the man of woman who says that they submit their life to Christ.

1 John 5:19
The whole world is under the control of the evil one.

“But I thought that when you were a Christian you were no longer a slave to sin?â€

You are so right... I have so much I could say, but I won't. I already pray for this. It affects so many people, even if they don't realize it. It either plays a big part in their lives, or in the lives of thoes they love.
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have

Oh, and YES women lust. They may not talk about it with as much bravado as men do at times, but they have lustful hearts. Even if it isin't always physical (but it still can be much of the time! alot more than you'd think) it is still lust.

I'm confident that this struggle can be overcome through Christ because I know He has helped me and still does. The question always falls back to how much you and I are willing to sacrifice. It's our selfish human nature who strives to grab anything that feels good first.

It is never easy but it helps to realize that there is more to life than sex and what God promises us outweighs physical pleasure anytime. Let's keeping praying for each other that He may give us wisdom and the strength to seek Him.

Well, depending on the case.
I think the men lusting is way more a social thing. Also the way they see things ( I think rounded shapes attract attention..).

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a strict biological factor ( The guy I know lusts WAY less than I do...even today! And he was like this even before he was saved! I'm having issues! >.< Perhaps there's a bit left in prayer for me?).

Well, I say men do generally lust more than women, but it's not really a dynamic difference ( when it comes to biology)

But this is just MY opinion!
There are alot of oppinions on this, and those were just my 2 cent.

Sorry! I'm going now (and praying again)
bye! V^.^

oh, also, Jesus said:

Whoever looks at a women ( or man, depends...) to lust after her, has already commited adultery in his heart.

This is very important, and many Christians seem to ignore it...
looking at porn is sin! So let's not give the flesh and the devil any open spot!

Thank you for your honesty and openness. Lifting you up.

Yeah.. it's like drowning in quicksand. You first just stick in your toe, then pull it out. Hey that wasn't so bad. I kind of enjoyed it. So you keep coming back to the quicksand, and bit by bit it starts to suck you in. Curiosity becomes an obsession, and soon you realize. This isn't just fun and thrills anymore. This quicksand is real and I'm going to drown if I don't do something. Of course Jesus is always there on the firm ground the whole time, waiting with a stick to pull you out, but unless we really WANT to get out, God can offer us the stick and He can offer to pull us out, but unless we grab it and try and climb out, then we'll just drown in sexual sin.
I'm under a lot of spiritual pain because of this in my life as well. I realized around the beginning of this year that I HAD to quit before it got much worse, but that's easier said than done, and just like you said, it becomes 'boring.'
The threat is real, and it's not just potentially dangerous, it IS dangerous. I can see first hand the damage it has done around me, and I DON'T want to fall prey to the trap and lie that so many teens and young adults are falling into. It's all so sick. >.< I just want it all to go away, but of course it's all just going to get worse and unless I call on Jesus now and I really really really work hard with commitment to get myself out of this muck, then who knows how much worse it will become. I'm betting a lot, and my virginity is NOT something I'm ready to lose, not without a fight.
I'll be praying for you MSP, and every other guy out their like myself that is struggling with this.

I am a fellow addict. My struggle is mostly with masterbation. Just before reading the forum I failed. But right after it I listen to a song by demon hunter. It's about how your sins don't just hurt you, but every one you love. here are the lyrics.

RIBCAGE
all hail the newborn sin
Reject the boundaries and soak the cancer in
Hope kills the filth you crave
So bleed the truth out and fall into that grave
Uphold the brand new skin
Accept the failure, refuse to rise above
Break through the ribcage
And tear the heart out from everyone that you love

(Pre-chorus:)
Over and over again
We'll bury the shame underneath the lies we breathe
Over and over again
We'll carry the blame for the hell that we can't leav
e
(Chorus:)
Show me - the path that leads into your mind
Release - The thoughts you lock so deep inside
Show me - I'm the one who knew this pain
Release - Before you fall into this again

Behold the loyal slave
His rotting shell now a tomb where death can play
See nopw his pride caves in
Alone he fights to stop this dark decay
Feed, feed the lust you need
And fainter grows each plea from skies above
Break through the ribcage
And tear the heart out from everyone that you love

Building a life out of all that you hate
We see through the front that you tried to create
The world that you had hoped for was only a fake
And just like the maggots that made you this way
I know

Oh my! extra prayers for you. ;)
(and thanks for the lyrics. :) )

Now that we're there, I may as well say that I had some crazy hormones lately, I've been fantasizing. I'm so disgusted by it. I even went through a small phase where I thought " G-d'll forgive me any ways, my flesh likes it, it feels good to my flesh, He'll forgive me...I'll just repant later, but right now my imagination is being entertained. Oh well...sins are already forgiven."
you know?
I'm just eeeeww....*shiver*
how glad I am that I'm forgiven ( I repanted already ), otherwise I'd be burning up into crisp! :waah!:

I'm ashamed of it now, but yeah. If there's anyone out there still reading this thread...please pray! ^^;

I even went through a small phase where I thought " G-d'll forgive me any ways, my flesh likes it, it feels good to my flesh, He'll forgive me...I'll just repant later, but right now my imagination is being entertained. Oh well...sins are already forgiven."
you know?
I'm just eeeeww....*shiver*
how glad I am that I'm forgiven ( I repanted already ), otherwise I'd be burning up into crisp!

I'm ashamed of it now, but yeah. If there's anyone out there still reading this thread...please pray! ^^]
*sigh* Many times I have thought that. I thought something similar just today. "Life's not fair anyway, what's wrong with bending the rules a little bit?"
"Everyone else seems to hate you, so if you end up hating yourself, at least you had some fun."
"I'm only escaping from reality for a bit, it's not going to hurt me in the long run."
Satan just riddles my mind with excuses. If only we could feel the same way about lust BEFORE it as we do AFTER it, hating it with a passion.

Just 14, and I already feel that way. Not to mention the intense pressure to get myself as far away from this as possible before it becomes a leading problem in my adult life. =_= Prayer is needed for all of us.

I feel I need to add something. I've noticed so many christians that look at pics of half naked girls as okay. The world has truly blinded us. I'm sick of seeing the color grey in all our lives. Revelation 3:16 say " becuase you are luke warm and neither hot nor cold, I spit you out of my mouth." we need to stop sitting on the fence when it comes to right or wrong.
