In a culture that either demonizes men or excuses them, we need men to know that God has a mission for them to pursue. To lead and love well.
Join me as I work through the challenges, and joys of what it means to be a man. This is a place for men to be strengthened on their mission to lead and love.
Guys I promise you, if I can quit porn you can do it. I always thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. I remember thinking I didn’t understand how people would go multiple days without masturbating or watching porn. I’m pleased to say that God has granted me full repentance from this sin and I recently hit 600 days without porn or masterbation. Stay in the fight men! I promise you nothing can compare to Him!
It's definitely doable I just started my journey 2 weeks in. If I resist it just goes away. It comes and goes in waves but it never becomes unbearable. But I would prefer to get married within 3 to 4 years which seems to be doable as I'll have a stable income for a year or 2 by then and be able to provide and be a husband.
Good job bro!
I'm a decent amount of days clean fom it and I feel so much better
That’s awesome man what are the biggest changes you’ve noticed abstaining and not just counting the days but being genuinely done with it? I’m assuming you’ve found a woman?
@@Couffee Nah lol
I'm working on my faith more before I even think abt a relationship.
But the changes I've noticed is that I'm happier and willing to do more things.
Biggest challenge was creating new habits. I used it as a stress relief tactic for so long that my mind went straight there whenever I was stressed. I turned from that to prayer and reading my Bible. God has changed me for the best! Once I started telling myself I wasn’t that type of person anymore it really helped a lot. I didn’t stay alone at all until more than a year after I stopped watching. If you want to be porn, you have to get extreme and have accountability
Thank God for your life, these videos are helping me a lot. I’m trying to become a better man and I want to please God by doing His will. Stay strong brethren and keep the faith.
You can only please God by believing in the son whom He sent.
It wouldn't hurt to follow Christ's teachings though, based on what he did for you.
@@ericb.1384genuine Christian’s obey His teachings
Amen brother and may God bless you and strengthen you.
the lord has you under his wing man blessings be upon you brother
Praying
It's ripping me apart. I don't want to do this anymore. Prayers please. My name is Eddie Swann. Ty
How have you been?
Im struggling with masterbation. I know sexual immorality is wrong, so i pray every day. Being married doesnt stop the sexual immorality. But i know Jesus can break my chains. Please pray for me please
I'm praying for you. I'm currently struggling with porn and masturbation as well. Please pray for me as well.
Ask Nick Vujicic for advice. He is very much a Christian man and motivational speaker. Maybe he can tell you how he avoids the sin of masturbation. Worth a shot.
will do brother... good luck with conquering your habits man!
Follow a purpose greater than yourself and align 100% of your life to it. You torture yourself everyday for that, and then you have no time or desire for it.
Also exercise 30+ minutes everyday.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers brother.
I’m going on 18 months sober from this sort of thing. For those who think that it’s impossible because men needs that release, sinning is not inevitable. God never gives you too much than you can handle. You’ll always be mentally tempted but the biological “need” goes away after some time.
Really? I’ve never watched porn.
the porn watching did go away.
My sexual struggle is with same-sex attraction and an addiction to porn- and it has ruined my confidence, motivation, joy, and peace. I've been battling and losing to sin for so long it feels hopeless, but I know there is healing and forgiveness in Christ. I'm determined to remain chaste unless God gives me a new, righteous sexual desire for women, but I'm 1000% focused on a total sexual detox. I'm tired of having zero guy friends because I've totally warped the idea of godly male relationships. I want healthy fellowship and deliverance from this bondage.
I'll be praying for you. I've been struggling with porn and an attraction to transgender women (which are biological men). I'm still attracted to real women but I have a strong desire for trans. It's gotten to the point that pretty much all porn I watch is trans and I'm so ashamed of myself.
I struggle with my addiction to porn and trans women too, to the point that I have paid for numerous trans escorts. I love biological women but have sworn off dating/marriage till I am free of this. It is hard not to date because I am in my 30s and all my friends are married. It is depressing because I long for marriage but can't because I have a secret that has sapped my self esteem, confidence, joy in life.
It is sad that no one talks about how the devil is using trans women to corrupt straight man. I have read thread of men who secretly watch trans porn while in marriages and relationships.
@@DigitalJuggernaut I'll be praying for you bro. I'm struggling with something extremely similar. I really want to find a woman to marry as well and I actually found a great one recently but even though she's an adult her parents are strict and won't let her talk to me. I'm glad to know I'm not the only Christian guy that struggles with a lust for trans women. I wouldn't have the guts to tell anyone I know about it because I know they'd never look at me the same way again. I hope that when I find the right woman I can confide in her about this. I wouldn't feel right keeping it a secret from her even when I am free of this. I wish porn wasn't so easily accessible as well. I probably wouldn't have fallen into this if I didn't have porn at my fingertips whenever I wanted it.
I just want to encourage you that nothing is impossible with God, continue praying about it. Also I’d encourage you to fast, some strongholds require fasting in order to break them.
@@hunterprice3320 we've allowed the wickedness of this world to get into our hearts and wreak havoc. Just as Ruth commented, there really is nothing impossible nor too hard for God, so let's earnestly desire to do His will and seek His face in this time. Praying for you and Mikelo. If possible bro even though it will be extremely hard, find a loving Christian brother to confess to as the word tells us to confess our sins to one another. If you have a good pastor you should tell him. I still need to tell mine about my struggle with porn though. Don't despair brother but praise the Lord that even through this He has had mercy on us
During the work week, 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, I'm fine for the most part.
When it comes to those few hours of being home after work, and being off on weekends, it seems to come at me full force.
Please pray for me brothers and sisters, it seems as though I've been failing left and right and I need deliverance
What you need is a job that doesn't leave you feeling so drained
Maybe it’s from being bored and alone?
@@NFS305yes that’s exactly it
@@Guivalv hey mate… you’re on the right path by being here and watching these videos. Meditation on the Word will help so much and I also live in a community where there’s a lot of recreation available outside and I do it to spend time with God and every once in a while I meet some fine people. Volunteer and observe a sabbath by turning off technology and connect to your higher power. At first it will feel like it’s not important but like a seed it just needs time to grow before turning into a mighty oak. I believe in you!
Hey boss, I recommend a hobby or something to keep your mind off it, eventually the urge will fade away and you'll honestly feel disgust if you even think about it, Bible, working out etc, all help with getting your mind off of it.
With my own struggle that I had with lust(sexual immorality). Here are the things that helped me.
- Reading scripture
When I mean read scripture, I mean reading it everyday. When we don’t read we are starving the spirit and strengthening the flesh. Remember the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing.(Matthew 26:41)
Denying the flesh is apart of it as well.
- Prayer
Many of us doubt and don’t see the power prayer has. This is a weapon that we have. When the times of temptation comes. Get on your knees and come before the Lord, and surrender to Him. Prayer is something that many struggle with. Remember, you cannot be a man of God without being a man of prayer.
- Fellowship
Finding yourself a biblical grounded church. Surround yourself with brothers. Brothers who speak about scripture a lot. Brothers that exhort and encourage each other. Iron sharpens iron.(Proverbs 27:17)
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you.
May the joy of the Lord be your strength.
May God bless you.
a girl asked me out and ever since that day i thank God i have had almost 0 urge to look at bad stuff online and i havent done it once. I'm just terrified of ever telling her about my past with that stuff. i was pretty addicted for like 5 years and shes the most pure christian girl you can imagine. im not sure if she even really knows pornography exists.
How’s it going now?
Well if she's truly a woman of God then she will have a heart of love, understanding, and forgiveness.
Thank you for these videos, David.
The Lord has taught me that pornography is literally soul destroying, when it was very early in my walk I had such a presence of the holy spirit (I'm a reformed charismatic, not a charismaniac) that there was a physical presence of the holy spirit, I prayed many times to God if this was not from him to remove it and it never went away until I caved and watched porn for the first time since becoming a Christian, this presence disappeared the moment that I finished. Since then I have never watched porn in over 2 years and have been loving God through it all, He taught me a very valuable lesson that day and has been leading me in more holiness.
God bless and continue with these messages.
In my mind, the bigger issue with social media isn’t the obvious issues (following a woman, of which I do not) but rather the randomized algorithmic things it’ll try to shove up to you instead and the impacts to attention span. Being able to sit idle becomes harder and that idleness when required or appropriate now opens the gates to temptation (see: stay busy).
I’ve been cutting more and more of it out of my life. Right now, I’m still on the platform for a handful of topics, mostly “infotainment” (learning about areas of interest in a non-lecture sort of way).
I was scrolling looking for star wars videos but this came up instead which is crazy because I’ve picked this habit up for the past couple months and it’s kind of destroying me. I never brought it up, looked into it or talked about it with anyone. So thank you for being here when I’m need 🙏🏾
I been sinning with lust and it's became something so horrible that I even start watching darker lust stuffs It's so wrong that I'm trying to fight to stop these disgusting dark minds. I rarely tear when I think about it, cause I think this might affect my future kids. I mostly repent my lusting sins and I say sry to God and Jesus that I disappointed them again I am really trying hard to get out of lust. And get closer to God and really accepting Jesus as my lord and savior.
I really appreciated that you discussed how that in God’s will and in His design, sex is to be enjoyed as a gift without feeling shame. Thank you for fighting the good fight and encouraging others to continue to do the same! God bless you man 🙏🏻
Covenant Eyes has been such a blessing. Having brothers to keep me accountable and encourage me in purity has been life changing. One of the dangers men face with purity, especially those of faith, is the lie that sexual release is a necessity for quality of life. That lie has come from society perverting sex and the sanctity of marriage. Only in marriage is sex and sexual release a necessity, and even then it is not the most necessary piece of a marriage.
I’ve never dated a woman even since middle school that wasn’t both sexually perverse, and claimed that they were sexually abused in the past.
I’m hoping that will now change in my walk with God, but man… something really sick is going on in western society.. my views on relationships and sexuality have been so damaged and warped, I hope you understand how important content like this/people like you are.
Man when I lusted hard a chick I dated was at my house she just started crying for no reason later found out she was sexually abused and she was trying to heal by just smashing instead of getting help
@@tburton2877 Many such cases, it’s a sick world we live in. I hope she eventually got the help that she needed and sought after God.
How do you define “sexually perverse”?
Yea my ex and I lost our virginity to each other, and she claimed to have had mild sexual abuse as a kid. There’s certainly a correlation to the mental damage that causes as people grow up and start experiencing themselves with that damaged view.
@@karlkalina3022 “hyper sexual” + desire for sexual acts that most normal people 10 years ago would’ve been disgusted by.
For me, it's all the memories and images that are randomly recalled while trying to go to sleep or when I wake up. I've deleted the problem social media, so I'm avoiding new triggers, but the old thoughts keep coming back. It's frustrating and tough. They just spiral. I pray for everyone else who struggles with this kind of thing cuz it's hard. Keep strong to everyone who needs this and let God work in our hearts and minds.
God can remove/block these thoughts and images - ask Him to, and also rebuke and bind any enemy attacks that can be causing these to keep replaying in your head. I went through this and I had to rebuke the enemy and command the enemy to be gone and asked the Holy Spirit for peace, rest and to guard my mind and He did.
Keep on your mind the good things before you go sleep... simple bible verse reminders, God's promises... keep them on your mind the more you do it the more those thoughts and images will decrease.
Had the same problems to so many times. The best thing that got me through this was submitting myself to God and knowing that these thoughts was exactly just that. THOUGHTS. Not sin, just thoughts that appeared in your mind. Keep going Brother and know that these perverse, disgusting thoughts will go away. YOUR SEASON OF BACKSLIDNG IS OVER!
2 great verses to recite are 2 Corinthians 10:5 and Psalms 19:14, check em out
Also turn on Bible Gateway and listen to God's Word when you go to sleep
This is a message all men need! Thank you Isaac.
Man you are wise beyond your age! I have struggled with sexual addiction for as long as I can remember. This was a good reminder of the biblical wisdom of take off/put on. I know I need to put on something new when temptation is there but often dont see the way out (or dont want to). You are a serious inspiration and a hope for a seriously broken and lost generation
I appreciate you having the courage to make this video and no matter how many guys doing want to admit it the majority have these struggles and they are real and I love this work for Christ you are doing! Great advice!
Thank you for this video. I really should have unfollowed a lot of people on my social media, but finally went and cleared things out that really don't need to be there. To start healing
So true! I had to get rid of social media because it was causing me to fall. Thanks for the video! May God help us on this journey
Thank you brother, the peace of God be with you 👊🙏
Thank you so much for the reminder that I have not "outsinned" God. That really hit deep for me considering how I'm sometimes so ashamed. I'm thinking about getting baptized soon and this is one of the core subjects that leads me away from it.
Amen.
With Jesus no sin is too great for forgiveness. God BLESS you, @iccyscracked7795.
Isaac I found you through daily disciple and these videos started coming up. I think this channel is the start to something really awesome for young Christian men everywhere. Thank you for doing what you are doing.❤️
Amen, God be with us all!

Thank you for this message, it really helps me. I've been struggling with sexual sin for most of my young adult life and only recently started to turn away from it.
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything...The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
- 1 Cor 6:12-13
I have struggled with this idea of masturbation being sin. Certainly the lust which often accompanies it is sin, but what about masturbating and not watching or imagining anything? This verse has helped me realize something. Masturbation may not directly be sin, but it really isn't helpful in my spiritual walk. I often feel sad and regretful, and that's not how Christ wants me to live. This is something that I'm actively fighting and learning about.
There is freedom from porn and lust. Don't give up fighting! You do not need porn, the only reason why you keep going back to it is because the previous session has left you wanting more. People who don't have an addiction to porn aren't constantly craving it. This is proof that freedom is possible if you keep on pursuing Jesus and rely on him fully. Love yall
Well said
I don't agree. In the first place, this verse isn't about just anything you can imagine - it's about eating meat which may or may not have been sacrificed before idols. It's about whether it harms other believers, not oneself. And jacking off is nothing like eating meat, which is natural and the proper function of the body part in question.
Also, I disagree with the idea that people who "aren't addicted" aren't craving it. People are "addicted" to food and water and sex. It's completely normal for anyone to want to look at pictures of attractive women. Most people who think they're addicted to porn aren't addicted. But people who have a porn problem have much greater difficulty resisting the urge, and I think the urges are more specifically targetted towards particular subjects.
We're supposed to have strong urges, though, otherwise no one would ever man up and ask a girl out.
Thanks so much for this i am struggling with this man im working with my fried to stop this. For the last couple of years it was almost every day. You are who i actually relate a lot to thanks for all you do. And please pray for me.
Definitely needed this, God is good 😊
Really felt the love of God whilst watching this. Love your videos, brother Isaac, you’ve been an amazing help for guiding me to the Lord. I’ve been struggling with pornography for several years now and the phrase. “You have not outsinned God” really got to me. I have felt that maybe God has left up the walls sin builds, or that God has turned me over to my desires - but no. The Lord is a great God, slow to anger and quick to mercy.
Brothers, he calls us to flee sexual immorality. Paul writes in Hebrews 12 to run the patient race set before us by Christ. Just as Isaac said, Christ has already taken the burden for us - it’s now our work to carry His easy yoke. May the Almighty and merciful Lord, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost bless and keep us all.
Thank you very much for your encouragement brother Isaac. How lucky are we to know the Lord!
I was doing very good in this department the last few months. Maybe the best I’ve been in years until I stumbled last night. I’m not going hard on myself and I’m ready to continue to strive to be a holy man.
I will say I'm not even a Christian but just as a man in this world this content is a gold mine of information. Thank you!
You need a podcast speaking of this! I drive a lot, so I will 100% will hear ya
God has helped me conquer my pornography and masturbation addiction, praise the Lord.
I’ve been struggling with a porn addiction for about three years. Gave my life to Christ about a year and a half ago, and can’t seem to get free. I keep living in this cycle of being on fire for God then falling into this sin. I need prayer and the Lord to do something in my life. Thank you for videos like this, it helps me and I’m sure countless others, on how to fight this! God bless!
You're an encouragement, brother. Appreciate you!
Yes bro. Awesome vid 🕊️🔥
Your videos have been so helpful. God bless.
Brilliant message mate
Fantastic video, and I am so deeply encouraged to continue to live and grow in God's love and will! Keep doing what you're doing, and fighting the good fight.
Great video brother. Stay strong fellas we got this!
That was an incredible video Brother!!!
When I quit porn and masturbation I had nocturnal emissions every single night for like 2 weeks. It wasnt fun waking up at 3am every night. But eventually they spread out further and further.
You aint kidding
BRO MOST ANNOYING THING EVER...
Thank you for mentioning masturbation. I struggle with this and I'm glad you shone some light on that subject. God bless you.
thank you isaac, i really needed this. god bless you.
It is quite amazing when you asked God remove you from temptations, especially when overcoming our sexual desires as a man. I have never been so felt so free from sexual desires when you have God on your side to guide you.
Could you put this platform in a podcast format by any chance?
This channel is gold! Thanks so much.
I definitely need this. Taken a step away from leading in the kids ministry because of this so really hope I can take this in
If you ever need a brother in Christ to talk to about it, let me know.
I work with youth as well at my church. It’s rewarding work and I can help with accountability if you need it from someone that struggles with lust as well.
God bless, will be praying for you!
Thank You so Much for what you are doing. No man who wants to call himself a Christian and live a Life Pleasing to God can disagree with anything you have so Boldly stated. As Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another, Amen...God Bless You Brother In Christ!
Great video, man! Sadly, so many young Christians struggle with this DESTRUCTIVE behavior. I like your advice at 4:32. It's essential for us as young men to STAY BUSY. There are a lot of WARNINGS about idle hands and idle talk. Idle hands bring HUNGER (Proverbs 19:15), cause house and family PROBLEMS(Ecclesiastes 10:18), and virtually NO CHANCE FOR SUCCESS (Eccl. 11:6).
Thanks for sharing, New subscriber 🎉🙌🏻
Thank you man! I appreciate this video! 🙏
Such a beautiful and helpful video for all men, God has blessed you with great wisdom. Keep sharing your gifts and Godly wisdom with the world, God bless you
Thank you tons Issac
Thank you, brother, thank you.
thank you for reminding me about this truth
Great points, thank you
I'm covered! Amen 🙏❤
This video makes me smile with hope😊
thank you for this amazing video as well God bless!
Amazing content. I am a part of a Regeneration,12 step recovery. This is amazing information
Amen. Thank you
I've been reading a book called clean of heart. It's a Catholic perspective for overcoming temptation and it uses a lot of amazing scriptures i never found before or the context was explained easier for me.
Thanks for this.
I understand exactly where you're coming from I know that it's absolutely wrong because I myself struggle with it and wrestle with it and little by little the Lord has been helping me to overcome it, now some parts are harder to overcome than most, but this is the flesh and temptation fighting tooth and nail.
The Lord led me through my youthful hubris, he's led me through anger and outrage, Jesus pulled me through the darkest moments of my life. Yes, the struggle is real, but in the Lord all victory is his.
Thank you for sharing
This video really hit me between the eyes last night. It hurt - I didn't like it. Twelve hours later and I can't thank you enough for pointing to the roots of my struggle and saying "get 'em!" God used you in my life - thank you! I know He cares and I can tell you care too. Please pray for me as I seek freedom from lust, disobedience, selfishness, and pride (plus related issues)!
What helped me was wanting to honor God with my thoughts and my body, allowing God to provide for that need or give me the strength to endure.
Thinking also about giving my future spouse giving her the purest version of myself, guarding my heart. Fleeing, I got motorcycle to help with that and preparing to be a husband whether I will be or not, those traits help me to be a good leader and provider, someone reliable.
Seek to be a servant of God, where could God use you.
Not my will be done
11:20 I got chills! Thank you so much for this! God bless you!
Dang this guys just dropped the M word. That caught me off guard. I love this convo, needs to happen.
Amen!!! Do not make excuses for sin! Same thing goes for us women, because its terrible in us as well.
god bless you man
I was struggling with this. It’s like a switch. The longer I stay without it, the more I don’t want it and get closer to God. But the moment something triggers me, it’s a spiral to a bottomless pit. God help me to stay in you and you in me.
Another program that is great is Freedom Fight. Walks you through ways to build accountability, how to survive a relapse, and the roots of addiction. Best part is that it's free!
Amazing message
thank you, my brother in Christ, its been a struggle.
God bless you, may god use you for he's glory. AMEN
Thank God I’ve been freed of sexual media, but I still struggle to wait for my spouse at times with varying libido and masturbate thinking of her.
Tiredness is always the temptation or stress relief.
Showers are tricky for me since it is relaxing and provides an easy way to release and clean up, but are necessary to wash. People say exercise helps, but it just makes me hungrier for sex.
I’ve had victory waiting for nocturnal emissions, but it hasn’t been a consistent lifestyle yet.
It’s hard wanting more frequent sex from a spouse but not being a burden to her and keeping the selfless standpoint.
I’ve never struggled with holding my self from watching porn but have had trouble on the more physical side of things and have always felt guilty but have recently slowed the amount of times I’ve master… and had a bad day where I failed and then had repented but the next day I committed it again. I feel like I say Im going to change but I end up not at all and it reminds me of the parable in the Bible talking about different types and Christians in correlation with planting seeds in different types of soil and how they would grow, even thought God forgives all sins (except for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit) I FEEL as I haven’t been forgiven. I don’t know if anyone can help but I just wondered if anyone else struggled with this. And if you made it this far thank you for reading this.
I needed this thank you for doing the LORDs work I know I’m saved an not condemned but conviction is good never to far gone that GOD can’t redeem us if you feel bad about it then your not too far gone
lately, as I've found myself enlightened and awakened, I've come to understand our sexuality as a transfer and sharing of energy. We, as people who have ever had that shameful feeling afterward, feel this shameful feeling because perhaps ulterior motives were at play. Perhaps you didn't care what your partner felt before, during, or after the act and as you come to, you realize you feel that bit of personal resentment because of your intentions. in my past, I've always wondered why sex felt different. Well for those who it clicked with, it clicked big time and has always lead to an amazing, deep friendship that lasts forever. Because if a woman is gracious enough and trust you enough to lay down as your partner, it's best if you take your needs out of the equation and focus your energy on her. Likewise, if the connection is truly real, the energies synchronize, she will take care of you. And this cycle just continues to grow and grow and grow. That's my take on sex. but who am I.
i watch this as a Muslim. I love this guy. Our religions have so, so much in common, especially nowadays as the world gets more atheist and anti-religion. I wish Islam had this kind of young wise beautiful UA-camr. Most Islamic preachers/UA-camrs are such toxic fearmongerers and completely lack both wisdom and tolerance that it is embarrassing to watch as a moderate Muslim myself.
NICE VID I LIKE THAT
ALL PRAISE THE MOST HIGH
Great stuff man💪🏼social media stuff was really good not much is talked about that except it’s just bad.
thank you!!
Guys pls listen to me I was addicted to porn from 12 up until a few months ago when i gave my life to jesus properly and got baptized I am 15 and completely stopped and its all because of Jesus since i started at 12 i knew it was wrong and i was trying to stop for 3 years but i replased everyday i started praying at 14 and my prayers started working when i went to chruch and received the holy spirit after that i stopped and urges were completely gone i dont struggle to not look qt women anymore no sexual temptation comes into my mind and very rarely when it does i have no issue dismissing it all because of jesus
Please get right with the lord and he WILL help you
Good video brother. Do you have two channels? I couldn't agree more on the social media bit everyone serious about purity needs to do a social media purge. Anything that could cause you to stumble cut it out Kings! Definitely planning on addressing sexual addiction head on in an episode!
-Chris
yes! this one and Daily Disciple
I used to think I was too far gone. I miss used the scripture about God giving people over to their sin and hardness of their hearts. But that scripture only applies to people who don't want out of their sin and disown God. If you are trying to get out, God will help you! His grace is overflowing
Before I repented I slept with prob over 200 women it was only by the grace of God I didn't get any incurable STI/STDs
REPENT before it is too late, God is good halleljuah! 🙌😇❤🙏
Jesus talked about prayer and fasting. There's a reason. It breaks the flesh and brings you closer to God. We have to resist temptation and choose not to follow lust of the flesh. All those other things you said too, work also. It's good and sound. I've do those things too. I don't get onto Instagram anymore because of them.
I agree and yeah Instagram is pretty bad when it comes to this stuff
200th🙏🏻 watch this when tempted🙏🏻❤️
Appreciate this video, I’ve been addicted to pornography since I was a young teen. I have gotten better, but there are those weak times. Praise Jesus for working in me. One day, after a lapse when I was guilty, miserable, and crying out to the Lord for help, I heard (and I like to think it was the Holy Spirit not just my thoughts) “Stop preying on them, start praying for them.” Recognition that they are God’s children too and He loves them too has really helped me and changed my perspective. Jesus is Risen!
It's good to be open and direct in your language the way you are. Prudishness keeps a person stuck.
There are demons attached to every kind of compulsive, addictive behavior. There are sex demons attached to salacious materials that you don't want to invite in.
Deliverance prayers to bind and render ineffective their attack as well as getting up and changing your focus can help battle the demons.
I was addicted to porn and masturbation and it lasted for 6 years of watching porn and then repenting and asking God for forgiveness over and over again until I did it one time. I felt the convection from the holy spirit one night and it just felt like I was completely separated from God and I was scared and I repented. I realized how messed up I was and how much I needed God and God gave me grace and he's given me new desires I don't even have the desire to go back but the temptations still try to creep in sometimes but I know that I can go to God and to his word for help.
Thank you
As a Muslim women, this helped me too
Outside of this, it is also included. It's all about removing the temptation and starving the sin. Replace it and think to yourself,'Out of all the things today, is this really important enough to devote my time amd energyto?' Ask yourself if you have the job you want, the position, the quality of life, the health, the faith? If you lack in any of those areas, replace scrolling, social media, porn, etc, with something to achieve that goal. Just take bite-sized chunks in each goal so that you don't get discouraged. Remember, you have a lifetime, so something as simple as counting your calories, not even making a diet, is a step in the right direction, or read one page of scripture, or go to bed early and get a full night's rest. It will be difficult, and you will fail at times, but stay focused and work on yourself to better. It may sound prideful but honest view all the toxic addicting ish as beneath you and take pride in turning it down and God will make the rest fall into place

This is such a problem for me, please pray for me guys. I've been struggling with this since before my teen years; still struggling with this at 21😪 I just recently watched a pastor explaining how you can not fight sexual urges, instead you must flee from that temptation. However, I still struggle to flee because I fail to recognize the urges early on. And as you said, I end up lingering in my bedroom and end up fornicating in my mind and heart. If you have any tips I would love to read them!! We all got this, through Christ Jesus!! Much love brothers! God bless you all❤
God is sovereign over everything. No sin surprises Him or makes Him think of you differently. He loves you! This fight is going to be extremely difficult but you can do this through Him! Instead of focusing on beating lust, focus on falling in love with the Lord, that helps me the most. Praying for you!
How about you stop letting life-denying fairy tells influence your bodily needs.. ever though about that? Grow some balls and leave this cult behind
