Thanks for sharing! Appreciate your candor. It was very interesting since we typically only hear about males with this issue. I'm really curious because of the age... The first few times you watched it as a child, where you *sexually* aroused _at all?_ (Obviously don't feel pressured to answer if uncomfortable).
@midnightmadness Why don't you just slowly get back into the dating scene? Nothing huge and no expectations... Just dinner or something to see if you hit it off with someone?
I think this is something Gen Z as a whole struggles with, and no one understands us. We have been exposed to sexual media, porn, videos, and images at such a young age it disrupted the way we think about relationships.
I think it was porn that led me to make the decision to have sex young. I don’t talk about it much but at 13 years old I was under the impression that sex was supposed to be the forefront of a relationship so when it came to my first relationship and feeling love for the first time I felt that I should be having sex as soon as possible otherwise this boy wasn’t going to think highly of me. I was seriously wrong and I hope no other young girls and boys fall into this mindset
I went through the same thing at 14, I thought that because boys wanted to have sex with me or desired my body that they loved me, and it took me a long time to discover what love really was or looked like. I also went through a big shame period where I thought no one would ever love me and everyone thought I was a hoe because I had sex so young.
Exactly, and when they get a little older and their partner doesn't perform like a porn star they look at them like something is wrong with the partner and can begin to see them as just an item yo give pleasure not a person that can bring joy to their lives other than just sex.
Exactly porn just shows you how to have sex but doesn't show you how to protect yourself from it. Its not even real its just a bunch of made up stories with bad actors
timingmile for a class this year we had to do a research project about any topic that we wanted. A guy in my class researched the “benefits” of porn and let’s say he didn’t get far
It’s not a requirement in states to have sex Ed and some that do only talk about abstinence it’s really upsetting and then they wounded why teen pregnancy rates are high or abortion rates are high.
no porn isnt the problem. the problem in corruption in government is the problem. the elected peoples being paid by corruptions to mandate policy is the actually problem.
hennycolada I was very young when I started watching it (around 9-12) and now I can’t get away from it🤦🏾♀️I’m 15 now and I still watch but I’m trying so hard to stop
@@puffdatoddler6194 No matter how hard, stay AWAY, I luckily got away before it was too late..This isn't the best either but literally, if you have to imagine, do it. Take your celebrity crush or crush and...Ya know..
@@puffdatoddler6194 You need to ask God to help you, your mind is your greatest enemy. Try to distract yourself whenever you want to do it. Your future self will seriously thank you. Take care xx
i didn’t know i was addicted to porn until you mention not wanting to watch porn but your body is forcing you to AND i feel super shitty after its over

A dark skin black woman who looks like me opens about her struggles that I also struggle with. Wow. Thank you. I don’t feel so alone. The comments make me feel better too. Thanks y’all for being so transparent.
@Gods own Son everybody relates to situations differently (that's what makes the world go around) which sometimes makes them feel like they have more support or are less alone in the situation that they're in. If this is how the young lady and many other women feel support in this situation by seeing another young woman battled the same issue that looks just like them then let them. They have the right to.

It's not that uncommen that 22 year olds are mature.. Im 21 and have been very mature my entire life. And so I know a lot who are more mature and younger. I don't get why it still has that stigma tho
I was SHOOOOOOK when she said she's only 22! Girl, you don't look 'old' but you don't look, act or carry yourself like a 22 year old. I thought you were 30-35.
@@ophelia_n1514 its an opinion nevertheless that is what porn addiction does to you it ages you beware most of the pron stars are heavily into drugs and that is where your sexual energies are invested.. Drugs are ageing .. Corona.. porn and drugs let's never meet 🤒😷
God is really calling his people. I made my testimony about two weeks ago and I've been seeing a lot of them. THE DEVIL IS BEING EXPOSEDDDDDD!!!!! THANK YOU SISTER
its crazy how most people don't think women look/looked at porn or masturbated before like we don't have hormones or have sexual desires like men smh. but yea thank God he forgives us and his word teaches us the truth, purity and holiness. Cos that definitely isnt the right way
@@Erinyn because jesus hold us up to a standard we are to be like him in many ways loving, forgiving, kind, not judgmental etc and every sin in this world keep us from being whether it is porn lies adultry and so on.
@@kels4619 What a ridicolous statement. Wether there is a Jesus/God or not I am pretty sure he holds every human to the same standards wether you call yourself Christian or not..
Tyson Mike that’s absolutely true, but religious people have it in their mind while non religious it’s not a factor they need to worry about if they do not believe. I know I’m my church they teach that if you watch porn it’s a sin that will send you straight to hell no matter how much good you do UNLESS you confess to a priest. Do you know how scary it is to go into a room and confess to a priest all your wrongdoings since the last time you have been there. Their jobs is to be like and apostle and not judge but it is always hard.
Especially in this time of quarantine the devil will be looking for every opportunity to make us feel like maybe we should just do it “one last time”. And it sucks when you know what to do and what not to do but you have a slip up anyway. 😫 don’t loose hope ladies God’s got it don’t run from him run towards him. Here’s a prayer that I’ve been praying this might help someone out there. Lord, Your word says in James 4:7 that if we submit ourselves unto You, and resist the enemy, he will flee from us. Lord I fully submit to You, I resist this lust, I need you. Father, I am weak, but you are made strong in my weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) So by my faith, I overcome, In You. Being unable to overcome this lust myself, I give the burden to you by faith (Psalm 55:22) so that I am able to withstand the devil and his many temptations, by my faith, my strength, and hope, that is in in you. Therefore, Lord I confess that I am strong in You, and in the power of Your might (Ephesians 6:10). Father, I pray that You will cause me to think upon those things which are pure, honest, and of a good report (Philippians 4:8), and I pray that you will not allow my mind to wander into idleness and lust, but that it stay upon the name and person of Jesus. Father, I thank You for revealing the evil lustful spirits, attempting to drive me to lust. I thank You and believe you will not allow me to be drawn away by the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of Life (John 2:16). I thank You for not allowing me to be overcome with lust in my eyes, for I know the eyes are the door to the heart, and Your words says to guard my heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23) Father, please help me guard my heart by the words that I speak, and strengthen me to guard my thoughts and eyes. Father, I pray that You place upon me the whole amour of God, so that I will always be able to stand against the devises of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-20). I pray and thank you, that You lead and deliver me from every temptation of lust, sin, and evil desire. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I take authority over Satan, every principality, every evil spirit, and every spirit of wickedness in high places. I cut every ungodly soul tie associated with all evil memory recall concerning lust. I bind all spirits involved in the name of Jesus Christ, and render them without power to operate in my life. I cut all lust, and all its triggers off my mind, will, and emotions and I surrender lust and its desires from out of my heart, to you Lord Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I bind and cast off every spirit of lust, adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, and uncleanliness in my life. Father, I surrender my body to you as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), and I recognize that my body is the temple of the Almighty Living God, and a dwelling place for His Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and I rejoice in knowing that the blood of Jesus Christ sanctifies, cleanses and covers me.
I'm so glad I've found other Christian Black Women who are overcoming the same temptations and struggles. I know that ethnicity and race shouldn't matter since it is our hearts that are following God, but just seeing a reflection of yourself through another person gives me... Hope, and more of it. I've really been struggling these past quarantine days, so I ask if y'all can pray for me to see the ways out of temptation as God has promised and to restore my heart, body, mind and spirit to align with His will. Jesus still loves y'all and he is drawing us nearer each day, accept His perfect love for imperfect beings❤️
You speak so clearly and eloquently, as young Christians navigating in a world full of lust... conversations like this is necessary among each other and in the church. May God continue to use you to help others, you truly have a gift sis.
@Abc C I don't think she meant it that way. She's just speaking from her side of experience. But I see what you're saying. As a Muslim woman I continue to tell ppl who aren't even religious sexual exploitation has ruled this work. It wasn't meant to be a raunchy act just for the feeling. But this generation is far gone.
Yes, I wish Churches had more conversation about things like this and very real things. My church is family ran and all they been talking about is the same old songs since I’ve been going when I was a child 🤦🏽♀️
My ex was like this, but instead of going on websites he would pay girls to send him nudes on Snapchat. He was sending 500+ dollars on one girl. This addiction is really destructive. Completely ruined the relationship.
Wow I think God put this video in my timeline for a reason. I started when I was second grade because one of the kids said a website out loud and I was curious. Every time I stopped watching it, I’d feel so disgusted with myself and I’d remind my self that my friends don’t do things like this or I’d ask myself what would the people I know think of me if they ever found out. I would pray and ask God for forgiveness and tell him this will never happen again. But if I happen to see a sex video on Twitter or a sex scene on a show it would trigger me to start watching again.
Porn also made me think of what “love” was , it was so artificial to me that I would make up scenarios of what me and my crush would do if we were alone, I find myself thinking about it for hours (I would even stop my school work just to think about it). I had to realize that this is an addiction and it needs to stop and I had to ask God for a detox mentally, physically and spiritually.
This is so true for me. I was exposed to porn in elementary school too and I had became hooked on it. Last year I told myself that I would stop because after I would get instant satisfaction while watching porn, afterwards I would feel so guilty about it. I felt like God and my loved ones that have passed on where disappointed in me. I am still working on not watching it anymore but temptation is real when you see that sex video on twitter, see a sex scene in a movie, or you hear that a celebrity has a sextape out, it reals you back in.
Thank you for this I am going through the same thing.Is like after u watch it you would always feel guilty and felt like u disappointed someone because u actually did and your going through but u don’t have someone to talk about it because your afraid they would expose you or you just couldn’t trust
THIS NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT!! most of this generation have been exposed to sexual nature at such a young age its gross. Your brave and this definitely needs to be talked about
When I was 11-13 I had a porn addiction. I was depressed and anxious. I wasn’t even turned on by it, I just watched it. My parents found out and called me disgusting and a shame to them. Now I’m 20 and have such an uncomfortable relationship with sex
Your parents should not have called you disgusting, you have nothing to be ashamed off, instead of shaming you talking to you (a literal child at the time), and understanding you would have been the right thing to do. I cant imagine the hurt that must have caused, you are strong and you are worthy!!!!
I’ve been addicted since 7th grade. I’m 19 and have never been in a relationship and I think my addiction is why. My mind was wired to think “if I can pleasure myself I don’t need someone else” but at the end of the day when I’m done I still crave the intimacy because I’m not receiving it... just watching it. I’m hoping this is the clarity I need to break my addiction
I'm 19 as well and have struggled with sexual urges since I was around 3 and was sexually abused from like 6-12. I've always turned people down because I feel ashamed and dirty.
Honestly, this is why I think some people decide not to try relations because of fear of temptation (which I do agree happened to me) I was scared to get in a relationship because I believed my thoughts that were influenced by porn were going to make me break myself....
The thing with porn is what keeps me away from it is knowing that the people in it could have been sex trafficked, kidnapped, r@ped, and more. I’m not trying to hate on anyone who does watch it but that is a high possibility when watching
The fact that this video was recommended to me two days after I decided to fight my addiction is a sign from God. Thank you so much for talking about it
To anybody who’s struggling, I pray any stronghold taking a hold of you gets broken in the name of Jesus Christ, the god you serve may he cover you and shelter you from this filthy world, may he break every stronghold. God tells us in the bible ‘Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind’. Anything of this world is never unbreakable you will overcome this. Amen
Even tho I am afraid to comment, your video made me cry cause I've been battling with porn addiction for years. I started at 9 years old and at 18 I wanted to stop but now I'm 22 and I feel like I'm trap into something I can't get out of. I want to stop and I will stop. It's like I was an amazing kid with easy social skills and now I'm always by myself, feeling depressed and unmotivated. 😭 You definitely inspired me. Update: Life as been hard since that post, I felt bad cause a lot of people were commenting their support and I felt trapped into that habit again like an infinite loop. I saw a doctor in September and she helped me break free from it. I'm proud to say that I haven't watched or was tempted to go back to Porn since then.
I think I was about 6 the first time I saw porn. I had clicked on a random file on my father's computer, not knowing what it was. Though at the time I didn't understand what they we're doing, I found it strangely intriguing. I'm 20 now but I still remember what they were doing in that video, more vividly than I would like to admit... Then when I was a bit older (late elementary school to middle school) I would hear my parents doing it, which made me very uncomfortable at first but then I began to strangely take pleasure in it... I think this may have subconsciously wired my brain in a dysfunctional way. From a very young age I have felt like I have this whole other "side" to me that I hide from others. I also tend to gravitate toward incest porn, as well as porn involving very young people with much older people. I know it's disgusting and I would never think of doing such a thing in real life, but I think my mind is still stuck at where I was back then; a very young girl being exposed to traumatic things she was never supposed to see/hear.
I'm so sorry you had to experience these things. I've had sexual urges since I was 3 and was inappropriately undressed, touched, and kissed by close family members when I was 6-12 and that's how I found out about porn and my mom didn't know for a whole decade and unknowingly blamed me for allowing people to touch me. My parents divorced later and I used porn to escape reality. I get how you feel about the extreme age difference and incest stuff because for me, those experiences have caused me to struggle and I'm worried about when I move out to Uni when I turn 20 this fall. Sorry for the long reply.
My love to the both of you on this thread.. it's sickening and heartbreaking. I know it sounds cliche to say this but as an older person I want to let you both know that you'll be alright. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm in the same boat 😔 When I was younger, I was exposed to many things. I got touched by a classmate when I was around 5, I felt uncomfortable and tried to tell the teacher but she just told me to go to sleep (it was nap time). Then another time when I saw my parents having sex. Then another when my cousin tried to touch me. All of these things have really stuck to me and it used to not be a problem, but these days all I've been doing is sleeping late sex chatting and watching p0rn and feeling guilty when my parents tell them that I'm their "perfect" daughter. It's so crappy.
@@tiatia6723 he/she is probably atheist but if he/she is not then she belongs to another religion and at the end of the day he/she believes in god(unless she belongs to a non theistic religion) and at the end of the day God is still God no matter how you express your belief (through the different religions) so just bcuz he/she says he/she is not a Christian doesn't mean he/she does not believe in God. Allah=God yahweh=God waheguru=God etc
10 minutes after watching porn,i open youtube and this video is recommended 😢😢,wow I struggle with this addiction too,I relapse and I really feel trapped, please keep me in your prayers Update I want to thank everyone who prayed for me,I haven't watched any p0rn for the past 3 months,I have no desire to,I have surrended my life to Jesus and the Lord has been directing my steps every single day,just repent,obey and ask Him to direct you,He will strengthen you,there will be temptation but don't give in,pray and cover yourself by His precious blood, God is faithful,He is good,He loves me and he's continuing to fight for me.Stay blessed 😊
I’m not sure why this came up in my recommendations, but I’m happy it did. I can’t relate with the subject, however I’m so happy that you uploaded this video as a resource and inspiration to women out there who do have this addiction and feel alone. It’s important to know that women have hormones and watch porn too. I think that you’re definitely going to reach a lot of people with this video. You are such an inspiration, having a ten year addiction, overcoming it, and then speaking out about it, especially when the subject isn’t normally talked about. I’m proud of you.
and also just have mature conversations with them about sex - if they already know about it, they won't get sucked into the curiosity of learning about sex from the internet
This is such a prevalent issue in our generation. We grew up in the 2000s when the internet was such a new thing and there was no knowledge of internet safety. People were getting scammed online left right and centre, people would tell strangers personal information, our parents didn't even know you could find such things online, (or certainly didn't imagine kids would find it) and they didn't install childlocks to restrict certain websites. I don't know anyone my age who doesn't have a story about accidentally finding porn at a young age, but I hope as the current generation of parents have lived with the internet for longer, they're more aware of the dangers and can shield the next generation a bit better.
I'm 14 and I have been watching porn since I was 8 years old. I found out that it was a sin to watch porn and I repented, but I found myself going back to it. And I feel like God led me to this video for a reason, so I can stop and get help. Thank you! You could of never put it better.
Me to I am 14 and I have done this since I was 10. I am happy I went through it though because I can truly see how much god loves me by taking me out of it. Your not alone and I am happy to know that I’m not too. God loves us and that is why we are here today🤍🤍
Zephyr Orona I just want you to know watching porn is not a bad thing, but if it takes over you and the only thing you think about is porn then it’s a problem.
the realities of knowing human trafficking,I realised that watching it made me one of them so I cut it off,I cut off any thing that could trigger that addiction and it was a great feeling once it was gone.
I’m having hard time quitting on porn as well...I’m even buying onlyfans pages too Dammmn I’m seriously addicted!!!!! Porn been in my life since 13 and I’m 25 now 😟😟😟
it's okay Sarah take your time . Even if you go back to it for a little while you're not negatig your progress you just fought really hard and had a little moment . It's alright addiction is really REALLy difficult to get rid of I believe in you
I appreciate your honesty and advice!!! I am 23 years old female, and i have been struggling with porn when i was 13 years old. I noticed my addiction at 21 years old. i would go to work then go back home and watch porn for 3 hrs straight. I would do this right after coming back from work mon-fri for 3 hrs straight! I gained weight, was depressed and lost myself. I had to find my life with god. Finding god helped me by getting my life together. Lossing weight and overcoming my crippling depression was a battle for 2 yrs straight. Proud to say i havent watched porn for 13 months. Pray for me to overcome this disease. I love you and appreciate you
I'm personally proud of you because I deal with the same thing. I get how harddd it is to stop and how much it hurts when you've stopped for a certain amount of time and end up back in the same hole. Keep your head up queen! You got this ❤
I started watching when I was 11 and I'm 16 today... I am a straight woman and yet I enjoy watching women. I pray for God to help me but everytime, I give in after 2 or 3 days... Yet I know that He will help me!
You just gave me the confidence to tell my own story. I was going through depression and abandonment issues from the ages of 12-20 because of my past. I am 21 in exactly a month and I can thankfully say that God has been working on me for a whole year. I’m now free from everything; porn addiction, depression, daddy issues, lack of self-esteem, alcoholism, mental instability, and every terrible factor that comes from growing up in a broken home. I’m so grateful that the devil didn’t have the opportunity to destroy me before the age of 21. Thank you ❤️🙏🏾

Cheers to this girl for sharing this and her story. Porn addiction is so real and something people are either ashamed about or kept in so much private about.
To hear another Woman speak so honestly, openly, and truthfully about this topic is so incredibly affirming. I really appreciate you for creating this content and being so transparent. And the fact that you did not have a judgmental approach in the way that you spoke was so refreshing to hear. Seriously, thank you so much. #Subscribed
The Bible tells us to confess our sins to one another that we may be healed. Your transparency has helped other people to embark on a journey of healing. God bless you. I wish more people were honest about their struggles and we would see healing happening all over the place.
I’ve been addicted to porn for 7 years. 7 years..and I’m only 20 years old. I’m tired of letting porn control my life and I’m ready to change my habits, my mindset and my attitude about love and intimacy. I think I’ve been broken for many years but for the first time I feel like I can overcome this. Your video was so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing your story and advice on how to break this damaging addiction. I am truly so grateful for this wake up call!

I’m actually glad to hear a woman’s perspective on this topic. There needs to be more discussions on the dangers of giving into porn/masterbation addiction by both males and females
Mariiii!!!! Oh yes of course it can, it can be healthy if done in moderation but I don’t advise it because sexual energy is powerful and very hard to control
I was clean for 60 days then collapsed three days ago, not giving up tho, ill keep trying and trying. Def subscribing cauz this is the real content I installed UA-cam to watch.
THIS IS HUGE !! Such a positive role model. This gave me chills !! God is speaking through you angel 💛 keep it coming but I also need a makeup tutorial soon 😻✨
i dont have a porn addiction, but i struggle with an eating disorder. everything you said in this video was something i could relate back to my ED. thank you for the advice, and for spreading awareness on porn addiction and addiction in general!
This is sooo scary my ex’s name is Courtney and I was just advising him about this same topic🥺🥺I personally had to overcome this addiction myself and I’m so glad you’re speaking on it to help others...thank you soooo much
Thank you 🙏🏽, I’m 26 and I think I start watching this sh** 6 years ago and it just start when my period are coming and after my period I don’t even think about that, it’s been two months I haven’t put myself on cuz I don’t want to do it no more IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I want to control my period emotions with GOD HELP
Thank you for sharing your story Courtney. It’s exactly what I needed to hear during this time of social distancing. At 20, He’s been teaching me so much about who He’s calling me to be in this life and I’m tearing up while watching/writing this comment to you. It was meant for me to see this today. ❤️
This video almost has me in tears.. I am a 29 year old male and I am dealing with this addiction.. eveyone thinks its funny but Jesus the guilt is awful smh🤦🏽♂️.. thank you for speaking honestly.. a good friend sent me this video.
it takes a lot of courage to speak on this and so many of us needed to hear it. Men in particular sex objectify us women by what they see in porn and I have had this problem with my ex that's why he had to go. it's not healthy at all it's really sad tbh but thanks for speaking up as many of us needed to hear this
Sheena Rehema Porn makes it so easy to objectify, because it excludes emotions so there is just the sex, for example if there was no porn, we would have build some kind of connection and/ or intimacy to another human for them to be comfortable enough with us to have sex with. I am sure there are exceptions to this like feeling such a sexual attraction towards one another that the emotional aspect of intimacy would be excluded. So you can have sex without having intimacy, intimacy does not equal sex, but sex can be intimate.

Can I ask you you? Have you met Jesus? Did He set you free and transform your life? Anyone can change their behaviours and modify but only meeting Jesus is complete transformation. I hope that you will see your need to meet Jesus - the one who is God, died on the cross and rose again so all who believe in Him are forgiven and set free forever.
I understand what you are trying to say, but I would like to add that porn shouldn't be normalized at all, not for men nor for women. We should be able to naturally discover our sexuality in a healthy non-influenced way :)
@@dor_ien1602 actually no, I don't know why you are trying to find a coherent explanation of something as subjective as a user name. In conclusion what the fuck do you care about my name hhaah. I'm actually 23 dude, mind your own business. xo
I truly appreciate your transparency. I was busy crying out to God 2hours ago about this and acknowledging to myself that this is a problem.

At first I ignored this video. But after a week of fasting and coming to God, I ended up looking for the video. I pray that every viewer and person in the comment section is delivered from this bondage, I declare and decree Gods divine intervention in all your lives, you shall overcome and you will be set free. I pray that God delivers you all and you shall rise and testify for His glory. in Jesus mighty name. Amen In fasting this week these are a couple of scriptures God put before me. I believe they will bless you too 1 Corinthians 10:13 Joel 2:12 God bless you
I never thought I would find someone I can relate to so much. I was exposed to pornography at a very young age, probably at the age of 5 or 6, and around that time was that I was raped by one of my cousins. I never realized what was going on because I didn’t understand what it was, therefore I let it happen thinking it was alright. Even 3 years later I let those things happen to me again, I let myself get touched and didn’t understand what I was doing nor what the other person was doing until now. I’ve never came out to talk about it with no one, not even my parents or family except my partner. My partner has helped me get through a lot, and who’d thought I would heal. Though sometimes the flashbacks make me feel worthless and insecure, it is a process to get over an experience that awful in your life. I really enjoyed your video, it made me realize why I think the way I think, sometimes I feel like I’m addicted to sex but in reality I’m not, it’s just what I grew up doing, the people I grew up with, and the people I surrounded myself with. If this is you, trust me, you can heal and you will as long as you have the right people next to you, remember that addiction is a huge process to overcome.
I truly understood what you were saying on a very personal level. A similar if not the exact same thing happened to me at the age of 6 or 7 as well with one of my cousins. No one knows nor do I feel like I ever want them to know but I always wonder what would ever happened if I told anyone whether that’s my best friend in the whole world or my parents or my partner. I definitely don’t think I am addicted to sex but growing up with this trauma like situation that I thought was so innocent has definitely shaped the way I think and look at sex/porn. I am almost 18 now and not a day goes by where if I think about sex or porn I get brought back to these events which make me feel disgusted with myself even if I know I shouldn’t be. How was it like when you talked to your partner about your situation ?
So we were both touched and raped by our cousins at 5, I relate to this comment so much because the exact same thing happened to me. Except it happened for another 4-5 years.
I though i was the only one who was so young. My dad porn dvd’s which he definitely hid, but my nosey self wanted to know what it was so after i saw those porn dvd’s i got addicted. I’m 24 years now and even after i watch porn i feel so dumb and weird but i hope this vid will help me
Daw Mensah just take one day at a time. God loves you. You’re not dumb and weird! Try and figure out your triggers. Try and observe some patterns... when do you start watching porn? After scrolling on Instagram? When you’ve watched a show with a sex scene? Or simply when you’re bored? You’re not the only one xxx
I’m going to pray for you. Freedom from porn and co is not always instant but gradual. Take it step by step but give it To God if you’re religious or even not. If you can read 1/2 Samuel in the Bible in which David also dealt with sexual desires. Do not feel dumb or weird cause it’s a spiritual attack ahold of you. God bless you
I feel you. I used to feel the same way, numb, and sometimes disgusted with myself and a lot of regret. At the time I was also depressed and the porn was something that 'helped' me ease my feelings of emptiness. I felt ashamed and like it was a dirty secret because as a woman, I couldn't tell anybody, we are not supposed to be sexual 'like that'. So it was hard to overcome but I made it!
We all been there. I remember we where kids like 10,11 and we will steal my dad video tape as watch , all kids from neighbor's when patents are not home. We knew wasn't correct thing to do but we did it and we thought its funny but l think that was curiosity as we couldn't talk to our parents being from Orthodox strick families.
I commend you for your boldness on speaking on this topic. This is not only a guy issue, but there are women that struggle with this as well. The result of porn always makes you feel guilty and shameful. The pleasures of sin are for a season. Lust doesn’t satisfy, it only intensifies. Jesus is the only one that can satisfy you.
I grew up an atheist and gave my life to Christ last year. Im still struggling with the addiction of weed. The eternal battle you talk about is how i feel everyday! God bless you girl
I’m atheist and keep thinking about trying to believe again. Idk.. everyone thinks I’m going to hell which makes me not believe even more because you’re supposed to be a person of god and instead of helping me you’re dooming me.
Debora Sousa every single human is a sinner. There is not 1 that is good. Thats why we needed Jesus to die on that cross. To pleed us free from those sins. Just believe in him. And once you’re baptized and really read and understand the bible, you will WANT to do better. I had sex so much and the idea of waiting before marriage was a joke like non existent thing for me, and here i am one year later still not had sex. Everything i do changed except for the last thing! The weed! And yes its a real addiction, a problem, and i want to be free!! Once you know that God is real, that he made the earth and the sky and the vegetables and fruit and nuts and seeds you eat. The spice u season ur meat with. All given by God. And there’s an enemy : satan. And you’r either with him or with God. No in between. God bless and thank you all for the prayers
Me and I got myself out of the visuals but when I get bored I would read smut on tumblr while it doesn’t make me feel any urges to do stuff to myself, it still makes my mind think inappropriate thoughts which is just as bad.
@@BloomingBarbie When I was really little but REALLY little I had an adiction like this too. Don't worry I had those inappropriate thoughs too, but the more you don't watch it and try not to think about it, you're gonna somehow forget about this stuff. But you really need to TRY to make changes, cause this isn't gonna go away over night. 💜💜💜

I can definitely relate sis! I was exposed to pornography by a family member at FIVE YEARS OLD and struggled with it from that point onwards for about 15 years. Thank God for deliverance, I’m going 6 years strong 💪🏾 it’s so powerful to see other women sharing their testimonies because so many struggle in silence. It’s time to silence to enemy and overcome this 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Purposeful Daughters i was exposed at 5 also and am still so young. yet i’ve been going strong i had a slip up last year and that WAS MY LAST TIME by the grace of god and i was was going strong for 2 years. we will keep going strong in Jesus name!!
My sis just told me one of our cousins showed her porn at 8 years old. She always was shy around him and didn’t want to be left alone. Had no idea. I don’t know if she struggles with it today but I’m sure it’s effected her adult life.
"Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last- salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth- the one who accuses them before our God day and night. *And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony.* And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die." -Revelation 12:10-11 you are teaming with Jesus in setting people free from addiction! there is so much power in the word of our testimony. thank you for being bold and sharing this! ❤️ God bless you!
marisa reanne no don’t believe that as no offence the bible is not realistic and is violent however Islam is peace and don’t try use the media as an advantage about Islam
Reading your comment and seeing this scripture hit me... I'm in tears.... It's so beautiful, the power of God's Word is like no other... Amen. Thank you sis for sharing.
i’m a teenager and i am currently in the same situation. i didn’t even know i had a porn addiction until i clicked on this video. this opened my eyes. many people have told me that real sex and intimacy is not portrayed in pornography, but i never believed them. this video has really helped me confront the fact that i have an addiction.
@@jenna7903 sorry I’m seeing this late. there’s a sermon on yt called the compromise of porn. I watched that and then I listened to a Christian song that really speaks to me (for me it was oceans by hillsong) and when I listened to it I just broke down and started crying and praying. I know not everyone believes in God but ever since then I haven’t struggled with the addiction anymore. Personally, I needed God to save me because my willpower was just not strong enough. If you go to God and fully trust him, I promise that he will listen.
this is literally the biggest sign. I literally just watched it and then i go on to youtube to see this. I also have been trying to stop but it’s not easy. Thank you so much for this !
I’m struggling through this right now, I lot of things have happened in my life and I noticed that whenever I feel lonely I go to porn. I have tried to stop and cut it out but every time I feel down and alone it’s there cause I feel like no one else is. I think it is my only escape. I’ve prayed to God about it, I’ve even gone far to put scriptures on the wall so that whenever I feel like going down to that dark place, I just look up to stop me. It’s still a struggle now. But I pray that I overcome it one day.
What you did with scriptures is great! But please also pray AND fast! As you fast, look up bible verses about deliverance and healing (where Jesus healed) and meditate on it, meaning that you take the scripture, confess it and imagine it in your head until it really entered. What it does is that the scripture is not only going into your mind, but your spirit. Also read Psalms, where King David called on God. See, God is willing to help you and able to help you, but we have to do our part. I also battled it and overcome. I also prayed and read the bible but I fell back to it when I was bored. It is a process, but now I can say that sometimes demons in the dream would try to come with seductive things, I will just rebuke them and they go. I am now where I can say that I love God and hate evil.
Yeah I cry myself to sleep and I feel really guilty all the time. It’s so weird that this popped up on my timeline. I was just talking about how this is affecting me like 30 minutes ago to someone and then this was recommended. The government and god is on my side lol..
Study the book of Romans start from chapter to the end. It start with faith and how the righteous are save by faith through the finish work of Jesus Christ at the cross. Prayer is great but it can not save you from it. Heaven conquer devil in heave “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death” Accept the cross because you are dead in Christ that is the breakthrough to overcoming sin
Marian Addison just pray I tellGod u want to leave it even after watching it pray ask for forgiveness and tell God I want to leave I want to stop I did that I’ve been praying about that for a while now and few months back I just stopped just like that I can’t explain how I was just like no no more and I stopped I prayed I thank God and everyday I pray that I don’t go back and I’m doing really while 💛❤️God is good

I had a cousin who was 4 years older than me who introduced me and some of my other family members to pornography. I was so young that I thought it was okay and I even had a friend who watched it. This same cousin practiced things that he saw In the videos on me. For a while I thought it was okay because I was used to it. 6 or 7 years later I now realize that it’s not okay. I grew up thinking it was okay to watch and do such things at a young age, I hate the fact that I was exposed. I always feel so dirty when I have sexual encounters, it ruined me and changed my mindset that in order to live I need pleasure. I never experience love, not from family and I barely have friends so I get “love” from what I learned as a child. I’m still very young in high school and I struggle with it. It haunts me badly everyday, please keep prayers for me in getting rid of this addiction. I desperately need it
Hello, this is my first time truly telling my story to anyone. But I first started when I was 8/9 but I am still struggling today but I believe by Gods grace I will get there , turning almost 18 please help to pray for me, I will also continue pray for myself. Thank you so much for this video I really needed it from another woman’s point of view especially a woman of faith.
You’re not alone, sis! God is full of grace and love. I think the only way to overcome this is by knowing God’s love for you. He will pick you up every time you stumble. When the temptation gets too strong, don’t hate yourself for it. Instead take that opportunity to be honest with God and speak aloud to Him and tell Him what it is you want. Honestly. As in... I want to watch this video and touch myself and feel good etc. See what happens. I know it sounds crazy. But God knows you and your heart and still loves you! Praying for you xx
Jesus is truly fighting for me with this struggle. I was introduced to sex as a kid.. I was molested by a family member, and porn at the time helped me escape from the pain I had. When I decided to be celibate and all for Christ, my addiction grew stronger smh! This video is honestly God sending me REAL HELP! It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this. I DECLARE WHOEVER DEALS WITH THIS WE WILL OVERCOME! 😢❤️
MsIsyssCorner Amen! In Jesus name! I pray that God will strengthen and heal you. God has such a beautiful life planned for you if you trust and obey him.🙏🏽
MsIsyssCorner I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you. Jesus will guide you all the way through this struggle. It may not be easy, but it will be so worth it. In Jesus name, I pray that you will be freed from this addiction once and for all. God bless. 💗
This was truly an inspiring video because I also had a breaking point and I knew I had to stop and it’s almost 6 months since I watched pornography and I’m glad God helped me overcome this addiction.
Prayer works, but it doesn't work like that.... there's no stipulation about the number of times you have to 'say' a prayer before it 'works.' And there are no particular set of words that are more powerful than others. Its simply about opening up to God sincerely. And according to Romans 8:26-27, the Holy Spirit makes up for what's missing in our imperfect prayers based on what we need.... so just pray with your heart.
This is the video I’ve been looking for😭 so many videos I’ve watched where the women talk about their “struggle” but are still too afraid to actually talk about all the crumby details. Thank you so much!!! It’s been a long journey for me. From 13 being introduced to it through the boy I liked at the time. I’m 21 now and have been married for 2 years and the couple times I’ve failed since being married thankfully my husband has led me back to Jesus’ Grace💗

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate your candor. It was very interesting since we typically only hear about males with this issue.
I'm really curious because of the age... The first few times you watched it as a child, where you *sexually* aroused _at all?_ (Obviously don't feel pressured to answer if uncomfortable).

Maybe because very few women accept to watching Porn?
Cyril ...?
Cyril you clearly don't know lmaoo
I think it was porn that led me to make the decision to have sex young. I don’t talk about it much but at 13 years old I was under the impression that sex was supposed to be the forefront of a relationship so when it came to my first relationship and feeling love for the first time I felt that I should be having sex as soon as possible otherwise this boy wasn’t going to think highly of me. I was seriously wrong and I hope no other young girls and boys fall into this mindset
Literally same here and I feel nasty now that I felt it was the norm idky
i’m so sorry
Sis Spamzalot i’m sorry
Same I was 14
I went through the same thing at 14, I thought that because boys wanted to have sex with me or desired my body that they loved me, and it took me a long time to discover what love really was or looked like. I also went through a big shame period where I thought no one would ever love me and everyone thought I was a hoe because I had sex so young.
The fact kids think porn is educating them is really sad :( we need real sex education
Exactly, and when they get a little older and their partner doesn't perform like a porn star they look at them like something is wrong with the partner and can begin to see them as just an item yo give pleasure not a person that can bring joy to their lives other than just sex.
Exactly porn just shows you how to have sex but doesn't show you how to protect yourself from it. Its not even real its just a bunch of made up stories with bad actors
This comment ❤️
timingmile for a class this year we had to do a research project about any topic that we wanted. A guy in my class researched the “benefits” of porn and let’s say he didn’t get far
It’s not a requirement in states to have sex Ed and some that do only talk about abstinence it’s really upsetting and then they wounded why teen pregnancy rates are high or abortion rates are high.
Porn addiction is such a tragically normalized way of living. Start the conversation, it’s a real problem.
Yes
Dude i work at a supermarket and one guy deadass started watching porn in the store
no porn isnt the problem. the problem in corruption in government is the problem. the elected peoples being paid by corruptions to mandate policy is the actually problem.
Totally. It is educating new generations wrong ideas.
James Hettich nobody said porn is the problem. Porn addiction is.
It’s sad how we get exposed to these things at such a young age😔

If the topics of pornography and sex weren't surrounded with so much shame, this would not even be an issue.
kikakuli you're right shame is huge barrier to getting help and addressing the problem
I agree the shame made me think I has a problem its such a weird delicate space
Obviously it would still be an issue
Being addicted to anything is a problem. Whether it was a positive thing or not addiction is always an issue.
You can become addicted to things even if they don’t have a negative stigma around them
A dark skin black woman who looks like me opens about her struggles that I also struggle with. Wow. Thank you. I don’t feel so alone. The comments make me feel better too. Thanks y’all for being so transparent.

Same, relatable in every aspect

@Gods own Son everybody relates to situations differently (that's what makes the world go around) which sometimes makes them feel like they have more support or are less alone in the situation that they're in. If this is how the young lady and many other women feel support in this situation by seeing another young woman battled the same issue that looks just like them then let them. They have the right to.
Gods own Son oh shut up you people don’t know a thing ! It’s refreshing to see someone that looks like you talking about a common struggle
"I don't think anyone feels powerful when they're addicted to something" is the realest sentence everrr

I know I’m my church they teach that if you watch porn it’s a sin that will send you straight to hell no matter how much good you do UNLESS you confess to a priest. Do you know how scary it is to go into a room and confess to a priest all your wrongdoings since the last time you have been there.

Especially in this time of quarantine the devil will be looking for every opportunity to make us feel like maybe we should just do it “one last time”. And it sucks when you know what to do and what not to do but you have a slip up anyway. 😫 don’t loose hope ladies God’s got it don’t run from him run towards him.
Here’s a prayer that I’ve been praying this might help someone out there.
Lord, Your word says in James 4:7 that if we submit ourselves unto You, and resist the enemy, he will flee from us. Lord I fully submit to You, I resist this lust, I need you. Father, I am weak, but you are made strong in my weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) So by my faith, I overcome, In You.
Being unable to overcome this lust myself, I give the burden to you by faith (Psalm 55:22) so that I am able to withstand the devil and his many temptations, by my faith, my strength, and hope, that is in in you. Therefore, Lord I confess that I am strong in You, and in the power of Your might (Ephesians 6:10).
Father, I pray that You will cause me to think upon those things which are pure, honest, and of a good report (Philippians 4:8), and I pray that you will not allow my mind to wander into idleness and lust, but that it stay upon the name and person of Jesus.
Father, I thank You for revealing the evil lustful spirits, attempting to drive me to lust. I thank You and believe you will not allow me to be drawn away by the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of Life (John 2:16).
I thank You for not allowing me to be overcome with lust in my eyes, for I know the eyes are the door to the heart, and Your words says to guard my heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23) Father, please help me guard my heart by the words that I speak, and strengthen me to guard my thoughts and eyes.
Father, I pray that You place upon me the whole amour of God, so that I will always be able to stand against the devises of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-20). I pray and thank you, that You lead and deliver me from every temptation of lust, sin, and evil desire.
In the name of the Lord Jesus, I take authority over Satan, every principality, every evil spirit, and every spirit of wickedness in high places. I cut every ungodly soul tie associated with all evil memory recall concerning lust. I bind all spirits involved in the name of Jesus Christ, and render them without power to operate in my life.
I cut all lust, and all its triggers off my mind, will, and emotions and I surrender lust and its desires from out of my heart, to you Lord Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I bind and cast off every spirit of lust, adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, and uncleanliness in my life.
Father, I surrender my body to you as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), and I recognize that my body is the temple of the Almighty Living God, and a dwelling place for His Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and I rejoice in knowing that the blood of Jesus Christ sanctifies, cleanses and covers me.
Favour Gift yes. Devil makes work for idle hands. Keep busy people!
Absolutely straight. An idle mind is the devil's playground
This is literally me

I'm so glad I've found other Christian Black Women who are overcoming the same temptations and struggles. I know that ethnicity and race shouldn't matter since it is our hearts that are following God, but just seeing a reflection of yourself through another person gives me... Hope, and more of it. I've really been struggling these past quarantine days, so I ask if y'all can pray for me to see the ways out of temptation as God has promised and to restore my heart, body, mind and spirit to align with His will. Jesus still loves y'all and he is drawing us nearer each day, accept His perfect love for imperfect beings❤️
You speak so clearly and eloquently, as young Christians navigating in a world full of lust... conversations like this is necessary among each other and in the church. May God continue to use you to help others, you truly have a gift sis.
@Abc C I don't think she meant it that way. She's just speaking from her side of experience. But I see what you're saying. As a Muslim woman I continue to tell ppl who aren't even religious sexual exploitation has ruled this work. It wasn't meant to be a raunchy act just for the feeling. But this generation is far gone.
Today's society pushes sex, it is everywhere, especially in America. I can't stand it, but its nice to know there are like minded people out there.
Yes, I wish Churches had more conversation about things like this and very real things. My church is family ran and all they been talking about is the same old songs since I’ve been going when I was a child 🤦🏽♀️

Yes! omg especially during this quarantine time. IDK whats going on! Maybe the loneliness is kicking in.
My ex was like this, but instead of going on websites he would pay girls to send him nudes on Snapchat. He was sending 500+ dollars on one girl. This addiction is really destructive. Completely ruined the relationship.
Lemme get his snap 💰

Wow I think God put this video in my timeline for a reason. I started when I was second grade because one of the kids said a website out loud and I was curious. Every time I stopped watching it, I’d feel so disgusted with myself and I’d remind my self that my friends don’t do things like this or I’d ask myself what would the people I know think of me if they ever found out. I would pray and ask God for forgiveness and tell him this will never happen again. But if I happen to see a sex video on Twitter or a sex scene on a show it would trigger me to start watching again.
Porn also made me think of what “love” was , it was so artificial to me that I would make up scenarios of what me and my crush would do if we were alone, I find myself thinking about it for hours (I would even stop my school work just to think about it). I had to realize that this is an addiction and it needs to stop and I had to ask God for a detox mentally, physically and spiritually.
@@mindytelusma7307 this is so relatable
This is so true for me. I was exposed to porn in elementary school too and I had became hooked on it. Last year I told myself that I would stop because after I would get instant satisfaction while watching porn, afterwards I would feel so guilty about it. I felt like God and my loved ones that have passed on where disappointed in me. I am still working on not watching it anymore but temptation is real when you see that sex video on twitter, see a sex scene in a movie, or you hear that a celebrity has a sextape out, it reals you back in.
Thank you for this I am going through the same thing.Is like after u watch it you would always feel guilty and felt like u disappointed someone because u actually did and your going through but u don’t have someone to talk about it because your afraid they would expose you or you just couldn’t trust
Tivia Hermitt totally relatable, that’s why I keep it to myself because I don’t want to be taken advantage of.
All I can say is Jesus knows who wanted to hear this, He put those words in your mouth and trust me you've changed many lives
THIS NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT!! most of this generation have been exposed to sexual nature at such a young age its gross. Your brave and this definitely needs to be talked about
When I was 11-13 I had a porn addiction. I was depressed and anxious. I wasn’t even turned on by it, I just watched it. My parents found out and called me disgusting and a shame to them. Now I’m 20 and have such an uncomfortable relationship with sex
Holly Lyman I’m so sorry 😭❤️
Damn....
girl you didn’t have anything to be ashamed of in the first place❤️ wish you the best
Your parents should not have called you disgusting, you have nothing to be ashamed off, instead of shaming you talking to you (a literal child at the time), and understanding you would have been the right thing to do. I cant imagine the hurt that must have caused, you are strong and you are worthy!!!!
Man :(
Im sorry to hear that
I’ve been addicted since 7th grade. I’m 19 and have never been in a relationship and I think my addiction is why. My mind was wired to think “if I can pleasure myself I don’t need someone else” but at the end of the day when I’m done I still crave the intimacy because I’m not receiving it... just watching it. I’m hoping this is the clarity I need to break my addiction
Audra jarecki I’m 19 also I can somewhat relate to this comment
I'm 19 as well and have struggled with sexual urges since I was around 3 and was sexually abused from like 6-12. I've always turned people down because I feel ashamed and dirty.
@@addyrovirosa1800 I'm so sorry you went through that that must've been awful
Honestly, this is why I think some people decide not to try relations because of fear of temptation (which I do agree happened to me) I was scared to get in a relationship because I believed my thoughts that were influenced by porn were going to make me break myself....
I’m 14 and same
You see God yeah? His timing is unmatched - thank you so much for this transparency
The thing with porn is what keeps me away from it is knowing that the people in it could have been sex trafficked, kidnapped, r@ped, and more. I’m not trying to hate on anyone who does watch it but that is a high possibility when watching
Ethical porn sites. Bellesa is a great one

hum sis... no hate but you probably have a virus on your phone :/
@@rebecaromero2957 wait what o_o
Llama Drama no it’s fine dw I used to use it it’s safe but yeah try avoid watching anything lol
@@chantal6580 It Is safe, its ethical, transparent, and Safe. So idk why that false comment got 6 likes.
The fact that this video was recommended to me two days after I decided to fight my addiction is a sign from God. Thank you so much for talking about it
Baboono yes! Gods got your back and is always looking to walk this out with you

To anybody who’s struggling, I pray any stronghold taking a hold of you gets broken in the name of Jesus Christ, the god you serve may he cover you and shelter you from this filthy world, may he break every stronghold. God tells us in the bible ‘Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind’. Anything of this world is never unbreakable you will overcome this. Amen

Thank you and Amen❣️

Even tho I am afraid to comment, your video made me cry cause I've been battling with porn addiction for years. I started at 9 years old and at 18 I wanted to stop but now I'm 22 and I feel like I'm trap into something I can't get out of. I want to stop and I will stop. It's like I was an amazing kid with easy social skills and now I'm always by myself, feeling depressed and unmotivated. 😭 You definitely inspired me.
Update: Life as been hard since that post, I felt bad cause a lot of people were commenting their support and I felt trapped into that habit again like an infinite loop. I saw a doctor in September and she helped me break free from it. I'm proud to say that I haven't watched or was tempted to go back to Porn since then.
Aw, bless you. You've got this!
Sylvain M dont ever be afraid to reach out and get help :) I know that fear and shame can make things feel impossible but you're never truly alone.
@@smallbutmighty1645 thanks I appreciate the support. It is hard but I'll overcome it!
Prayers that you get through your addiction. 🙏🏼
@@alicianalexv omg these are the messages that keeps me on track, thank you ❤️🙏🏾
I think I was about 6 the first time I saw porn. I had clicked on a random file on my father's computer, not knowing what it was. Though at the time I didn't understand what they we're doing, I found it strangely intriguing. I'm 20 now but I still remember what they were doing in that video, more vividly than I would like to admit...
Then when I was a bit older (late elementary school to middle school) I would hear my parents doing it, which made me very uncomfortable at first but then I began to strangely take pleasure in it...
I think this may have subconsciously wired my brain in a dysfunctional way. From a very young age I have felt like I have this whole other "side" to me that I hide from others. I also tend to gravitate toward incest porn, as well as porn involving very young people with much older people. I know it's disgusting and I would never think of doing such a thing in real life, but I think my mind is still stuck at where I was back then; a very young girl being exposed to traumatic things she was never supposed to see/hear.
I'm so sorry you had to experience these things. I've had sexual urges since I was 3 and was inappropriately undressed, touched, and kissed by close family members when I was 6-12 and that's how I found out about porn and my mom didn't know for a whole decade and unknowingly blamed me for allowing people to touch me. My parents divorced later and I used porn to escape reality. I get how you feel about the extreme age difference and incest stuff because for me, those experiences have caused me to struggle and I'm worried about when I move out to Uni when I turn 20 this fall. Sorry for the long reply.
My love to the both of you on this thread.. it's sickening and heartbreaking. I know it sounds cliche to say this but as an older person I want to let you both know that you'll be alright. ❤️❤️❤️
you don’t understand how much i can relate to this!! i also started watching porn at 5-6 and i literally did/do all the same exact things
I'm in the same boat 😔 When I was younger, I was exposed to many things. I got touched by a classmate when I was around 5, I felt uncomfortable and tried to tell the teacher but she just told me to go to sleep (it was nap time). Then another time when I saw my parents having sex. Then another when my cousin tried to touch me. All of these things have really stuck to me and it used to not be a problem, but these days all I've been doing is sleeping late sex chatting and watching p0rn and feeling guilty when my parents tell them that I'm their "perfect" daughter. It's so crappy.
I felt this on so many levels omg I FEEL YOUU
I’m not even a Christian but all I could say during this is “Amen”
I pray that you come to God and he delivers you completely 🙏🏾
@@tiatia6723 he/she is probably atheist but if he/she is not then she belongs to another religion and at the end of the day he/she believes in god(unless she belongs to a non theistic religion) and at the end of the day God is still God no matter how you express your belief (through the different religions) so just bcuz he/she says he/she is not a Christian doesn't mean he/she does not believe in God.

Really? You must be American?
I was thinking the same thing, I wish I could speak the eloquently and informed about myself.
I dont have this addiction but the title really caught my attention given that most of the time you only hear about men having this addiction.
I’m not sure why this came up in my recommendations, but I’m happy it did. I can’t relate with the subject, however I’m so happy that you uploaded this video as a resource and inspiration to women out there who do have this addiction and feel alone. It’s important to know that women have hormones and watch porn too. I think that you’re definitely going to reach a lot of people with this video. You are such an inspiration, having a ten year addiction, overcoming it, and then speaking out about it, especially when the subject isn’t normally talked about. I’m proud of you.
and also just have mature conversations with them about sex - if they already know about it, they won't get sucked into the curiosity of learning about sex from the internet
Same, not addicted to porn but I've found comfort for other things in the comments. Its amazing to see a woman talk about thus
This is such a prevalent issue in our generation. We grew up in the 2000s when the internet was such a new thing and there was no knowledge of internet safety. People were getting scammed online left right and centre, people would tell strangers personal information, our parents didn't even know you could find such things online, (or certainly didn't imagine kids would find it) and they didn't install childlocks to restrict certain websites. I don't know anyone my age who doesn't have a story about accidentally finding porn at a young age, but I hope as the current generation of parents have lived with the internet for longer, they're more aware of the dangers and can shield the next generation a bit better.
Orange Pepe so freaking true. I remember playing Bearnstine Bears at the library in the 90s and porn popped up!
Tumblr too omg I prob first saw porn at age 11??!!?
This days you don't have to search for it, just browsing and an add appears of a pornstar fingering herself like WTF
I'm 14 and I have been watching porn since I was 8 years old. I found out that it was a sin to watch porn and I repented, but I found myself going back to it. And I feel like God led me to this video for a reason, so I can stop and get help. Thank you! You could of never put it better.
You're so not alone! I started at 11 years old and I just became free late last year (194 days free now). God has you x
Be strong
What no its not. Sex is natural and watching people do it because you're curious is natrual.
Me to I am 14 and I have done this since I was 10. I am happy I went through it though because I can truly see how much god loves me by taking me out of it. Your not alone and I am happy to know that I’m not too. God loves us and that is why we are here today🤍🤍
Zephyr Orona I just want you to know watching porn is not a bad thing, but if it takes over you and the only thing you think about is porn then it’s a problem.
14 year old here, i've watched since i was 11. i know women are treated horribly in this industry. you've inspired me to stop watching 💛
Keep going on, you can do it, it changes your life
literally same
the realities of knowing human trafficking,I realised that watching it made me one of them so I cut it off,I cut off any thing that could trigger that addiction and it was a great feeling once it was gone.

I appreciate your honesty and advice!!! I am 23 years old female, and i have been struggling with porn when i was 13 years old. I noticed my addiction at 21 years old. i would go to work then go back home and watch porn for 3 hrs straight. I would do this right after coming back from work mon-fri for 3 hrs straight! I gained weight, was depressed and lost myself. I had to find my life with god. Finding god helped me by getting my life together. Lossing weight and overcoming my crippling depression was a battle for 2 yrs straight. Proud to say i havent watched porn for 13 months. Pray for me to overcome this disease. I love you and appreciate you
flapjacknanoda proud of you, you go!!
I'm personally proud of you because I deal with the same thing. I get how harddd it is to stop and how much it hurts when you've stopped for a certain amount of time and end up back in the same hole. Keep your head up queen! You got this ❤
Amen
I started watching when I was 11 and I'm 16 today... I am a straight woman and yet I enjoy watching women. I pray for God to help me but everytime, I give in after 2 or 3 days...
Yet I know that He will help me!

I am 21 in exactly a month and I can thankfully say that God has been working on me for a whole year. I’m now free from everything; porn addiction, depression, daddy issues, lack of self-esteem, alcoholism, mental instability, and every terrible factor that comes from growing up in a broken home. I’m so grateful that the devil didn’t have the opportunity to destroy me before the age of 21. Thank you ❤️🙏🏾

I’ve been addicted to porn for 7 years. 7 years..and I’m only 20 years old. I’m tired of letting porn control my life and I’m ready to change my habits, my mindset and my attitude about love and intimacy. I think I’ve been broken for many years but for the first time I feel like I can overcome this. Your video was so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing your story and advice on how to break this damaging addiction. I am truly so grateful for this wake up call!

I’m actually glad to hear a woman’s perspective on this topic. There needs to be more discussions on the dangers of giving into porn/masterbation addiction by both males and females
Ronny Ronn I’m genuinely curious, is masturbation itself also considered a sin?
Mariiii!!!! Honestly I’m not really religious so idk how to answer that tbh
Ronny Ronn neither am I, what I meant to say is, can masturbation have a negative impact like porn can?
Mariiii!!!! Oh yes of course it can, it can be healthy if done in moderation but I don’t advise it because sexual energy is powerful and very hard to control
Ronny Ronn I didn’t know that, I knew that sex and porn could cause negative effects, but I thought masturbation was the “safe” thing
I was clean for 60 days then collapsed three days ago, not giving up tho, ill keep trying and trying. Def subscribing cauz this is the real content I installed UA-cam to watch.

Thank you for sharing your story Courtney. It’s exactly what I needed to hear during this time of social distancing. At 20, He’s been teaching me so much about who He’s calling me to be in this life and I’m tearing up while watching/writing this comment to you. It was meant for me to see this today. ❤️

This video almost has me in tears.. I am a 29 year old male and I am dealing with this addiction.. eveyone thinks its funny but Jesus the guilt is awful smh🤦🏽♂️.. thank you for speaking honestly.. a good friend sent me this video.
Jesus wants to help you
it takes a lot of courage to speak on this and so many of us needed to hear it. Men in particular sex objectify us women by what they see in porn and I have had this problem with my ex that's why he had to go. it's not healthy at all it's really sad tbh but thanks for speaking up as many of us needed to hear this
Sheena Rehema Porn makes it so easy to objectify, because it excludes emotions so there is just the sex, for example if there was no porn, we would have build some kind of connection and/ or intimacy to another human for them to be comfortable enough with us to have sex with. I am sure there are exceptions to this like feeling such a sexual attraction towards one another that the emotional aspect of intimacy would be excluded. So you can have sex without having intimacy, intimacy does not equal sex, but sex can be intimate.
My ex boyfriend would ask me why I didnt look like the pornstars he watched. It still haunts me to this day.

Salaan Sare how long did it take for u to become better?
Can I ask you you? Have you met Jesus? Did He set you free and transform your life? Anyone can change their behaviours and modify but only meeting Jesus is complete transformation. I hope that you will see your need to meet Jesus - the one who is God, died on the cross and rose again so all who believe in Him are forgiven and set free forever.

I understand what you are trying to say, but I would like to add that porn shouldn't be normalized at all, not for men nor for women. We should be able to naturally discover our sexuality in a healthy non-influenced way :)

In fasting this week these are a couple of scriptures God put before me. I believe they will bless you too
1 Corinthians 10:13
Joel 2:12
God bless you
blogz589 I was never addicted to pornography but had a habbit of looking at it from time to time. I was delivered from it. Pretty amazing huh?
Amen!
@Tenyks yes. I didn't pick a week specifically but after a week I felt renewed if that makes sense?
I never thought I would find someone I can relate to so much. I was exposed to pornography at a very young age, probably at the age of 5 or 6, and around that time was that I was raped by one of my cousins. I never realized what was going on because I didn’t understand what it was, therefore I let it happen thinking it was alright. Even 3 years later I let those things happen to me again, I let myself get touched and didn’t understand what I was doing nor what the other person was doing until now. I’ve never came out to talk about it with no one, not even my parents or family except my partner. My partner has helped me get through a lot, and who’d thought I would heal. Though sometimes the flashbacks make me feel worthless and insecure, it is a process to get over an experience that awful in your life. I really enjoyed your video, it made me realize why I think the way I think, sometimes I feel like I’m addicted to sex but in reality I’m not, it’s just what I grew up doing, the people I grew up with, and the people I surrounded myself with. If this is you, trust me, you can heal and you will as long as you have the right people next to you, remember that addiction is a huge process to overcome.
I truly understood what you were saying on a very personal level. A similar if not the exact same thing happened to me at the age of 6 or 7 as well with one of my cousins. No one knows nor do I feel like I ever want them to know but I always wonder what would ever happened if I told anyone whether that’s my best friend in the whole world or my parents or my partner. I definitely don’t think I am addicted to sex but growing up with this trauma like situation that I thought was so innocent has definitely shaped the way I think and look at sex/porn. I am almost 18 now and not a day goes by where if I think about sex or porn I get brought back to these events which make me feel disgusted with myself even if I know I shouldn’t be. How was it like when you talked to your partner about your situation ?
I felt that about feeling like I have an addiction to sex, but in reality not.
So we were both touched and raped by our cousins at 5, I relate to this comment so much because the exact same thing happened to me. Except it happened for another 4-5 years.
Your not worthless they are ❤️ god has you
I trully hope all of you will be okay in the future 🥺💚
I though i was the only one who was so young. My dad porn dvd’s which he definitely hid, but my nosey self wanted to know what it was so after i saw those porn dvd’s i got addicted. I’m 24 years now and even after i watch porn i feel so dumb and weird but i hope this vid will help me
Daw Mensah just take one day at a time. God loves you. You’re not dumb and weird! Try and figure out your triggers. Try and observe some patterns... when do you start watching porn? After scrolling on Instagram? When you’ve watched a show with a sex scene? Or simply when you’re bored?
You’re not the only one xxx
I’m going to pray for you. Freedom from porn and co is not always instant but gradual. Take it step by step but give it To God if you’re religious or even not. If you can read 1/2 Samuel in the Bible in which David also dealt with sexual desires. Do not feel dumb or weird cause it’s a spiritual attack ahold of you. God bless you
I feel you. I used to feel the same way, numb, and sometimes disgusted with myself and a lot of regret. At the time I was also depressed and the porn was something that 'helped' me ease my feelings of emptiness. I felt ashamed and like it was a dirty secret because as a woman, I couldn't tell anybody, we are not supposed to be sexual 'like that'. So it was hard to overcome but I made it!
@Daw Mensah You are going to be ok. It is going to be ok. You will make it and you are not dumb 👍🏾👍🏾
We all been there. I remember we where kids like 10,11 and we will steal my dad video tape as watch , all kids from neighbor's when patents are not home. We knew wasn't correct thing to do but we did it and we thought its funny but l think that was curiosity as we couldn't talk to our parents being from Orthodox strick families.
I commend you for your boldness on speaking on this topic. This is not only a guy issue, but there are women that struggle with this as well. The result of porn always makes you feel guilty and shameful. The pleasures of sin are for a season. Lust doesn’t satisfy, it only intensifies. Jesus is the only one that can satisfy you.
🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾
Couldn't have said it better🙏
Once so lusted, once forever lamented.

I grew up an atheist and gave my life to Christ last year. Im still struggling with the addiction of weed. The eternal battle you talk about is how i feel everyday! God bless you girl
Praise God sister! I used to smoke weed and read the bible for hours at a time, now serving God gives me a natural high! Praying for you ♥️
I'll be praying for you! Thank you for highlighting that weed can be an addiction because many people deny it. God bless you!
The Holy Spirit is there for you. Just ask Him 🔥😌♥️
I’m atheist and keep thinking about trying to believe again. Idk.. everyone thinks I’m going to hell which makes me not believe even more because you’re supposed to be a person of god and instead of helping me you’re dooming me.
Debora Sousa every single human is a sinner. There is not 1 that is good. Thats why we needed Jesus to die on that cross. To pleed us free from those sins. Just believe in him. And once you’re baptized and really read and understand the bible, you will WANT to do better. I had sex so much and the idea of waiting before marriage was a joke like non existent thing for me, and here i am one year later still not had sex. Everything i do changed except for the last thing! The weed! And yes its a real addiction, a problem, and i want to be free!! Once you know that God is real, that he made the earth and the sky and the vegetables and fruit and nuts and seeds you eat. The spice u season ur meat with. All given by God. And there’s an enemy : satan. And you’r either with him or with God. No in between. God bless and thank you all for the prayers
Who else just realized they are addicted after watching this video?
Me and I got myself out of the visuals but when I get bored I would read smut on tumblr while it doesn’t make me feel any urges to do stuff to myself, it still makes my mind think inappropriate thoughts which is just as bad.
Happy Go Preppy
Same ..l watch it and get aroused .then l end up masterbating .
Nope
@@BloomingBarbie When I was really little but REALLY little I had an adiction like this too. Don't worry I had those inappropriate thoughs too, but the more you don't watch it and try not to think about it, you're gonna somehow forget about this stuff. But you really need to TRY to make changes, cause this isn't gonna go away over night. 💜💜💜

I can definitely relate sis! I was exposed to pornography by a family member at FIVE YEARS OLD and struggled with it from that point onwards for about 15 years. Thank God for deliverance, I’m going 6 years strong 💪🏾 it’s so powerful to see other women sharing their testimonies because so many struggle in silence. It’s time to silence to enemy and overcome this 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Purposeful Daughters i was exposed at 5 also and am still so young. yet i’ve been going strong i had a slip up last year and that WAS MY LAST TIME by the grace of god and i was was going strong for 2 years. we will keep going strong in Jesus name!!
That adult abused you
@@saetae9208 right
My sis just told me one of our cousins showed her porn at 8 years old. She always was shy around him and didn’t want to be left alone. Had no idea. I don’t know if she struggles with it today but I’m sure it’s effected her adult life.
We thank God
"Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last- salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth- the one who accuses them before our God day and night. *And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony.* And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die."
-Revelation 12:10-11
you are teaming with Jesus in setting people free from addiction! there is so much power in the word of our testimony. thank you for being bold and sharing this! ❤️ God bless you!
marisa reanne no don’t believe that as no offence the bible is not realistic and is violent however Islam is peace and don’t try use the media as an advantage about Islam
Why do y’all throw your brainwashing religion in people’s faces .. Muslims and Buddhists don’t do this bullshit
Rita Marie it’s not brainwashing it’s called guiding actually....
Reading your comment and seeing this scripture hit me... I'm in tears.... It's so beautiful, the power of God's Word is like no other... Amen. Thank you sis for sharing.
Amen!
Two words. Thank you. You will never know how much this means to me.
i’m a teenager and i am currently in the same situation. i didn’t even know i had a porn addiction until i clicked on this video. this opened my eyes. many people have told me that real sex and intimacy is not portrayed in pornography, but i never believed them. this video has really helped me confront the fact that i have an addiction.
I was addicted too, but I’ve been clean for almost 2 months now. If God saved me, he can save you too ❤️
@@nomaam6697 how did u stop ? please i need help ive been struggling for so long
@@jenna7903 sorry I’m seeing this late. there’s a sermon on yt called the compromise of porn. I watched that and then I listened to a Christian song that really speaks to me (for me it was oceans by hillsong) and when I listened to it I just broke down and started crying and praying. I know not everyone believes in God but ever since then I haven’t struggled with the addiction anymore. Personally, I needed God to save me because my willpower was just not strong enough. If you go to God and fully trust him, I promise that he will listen.
this is literally the biggest sign. I literally just watched it and then i go on to youtube to see this. I also have been trying to stop but it’s not easy. Thank you so much for this !
You’re not alone!
I’m struggling through this right now, I lot of things have happened in my life and I noticed that whenever I feel lonely I go to porn. I have tried to stop and cut it out but every time I feel down and alone it’s there cause I feel like no one else is. I think it is my only escape. I’ve prayed to God about it, I’ve even gone far to put scriptures on the wall so that whenever I feel like going down to that dark place, I just look up to stop me. It’s still a struggle now. But I pray that I overcome it one day.
What you did with scriptures is great! But please also pray AND fast! As you fast, look up bible verses about deliverance and healing (where Jesus healed) and meditate on it, meaning that you take the scripture, confess it and imagine it in your head until it really entered. What it does is that the scripture is not only going into your mind, but your spirit. Also read Psalms, where King David called on God. See, God is willing to help you and able to help you, but we have to do our part. I also battled it and overcome. I also prayed and read the bible but I fell back to it when I was bored. It is a process, but now I can say that sometimes demons in the dream would try to come with seductive things, I will just rebuke them and they go. I am now where I can say that I love God and hate evil.
Yeah I cry myself to sleep and I feel really guilty all the time. It’s so weird that this popped up on my timeline. I was just talking about how this is affecting me like 30 minutes ago to someone and then this was recommended. The government and god is on my side lol..
Study the book of Romans start from chapter to the end. It start with faith and how the righteous are save by faith through the finish work of Jesus Christ at the cross. Prayer is great but it can not save you from it. Heaven conquer devil in heave “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death” Accept the cross because you are dead in Christ that is the breakthrough to overcoming sin
Stay strong
Marian Addison just pray I tellGod u want to leave it even after watching it pray ask for forgiveness and tell God I want to leave I want to stop I did that I’ve been praying about that for a while now and few months back I just stopped just like that I can’t explain how I was just like no no more and I stopped I prayed I thank God and everyday I pray that I don’t go back and I’m doing really while 💛❤️God is good

I had a cousin who was 4 years older than me who introduced me and some of my other family members to pornography. I was so young that I thought it was okay and I even had a friend who watched it. This same cousin practiced things that he saw In the videos on me. For a while I thought it was okay because I was used to it. 6 or 7 years later I now realize that it’s not okay. I grew up thinking it was okay to watch and do such things at a young age, I hate the fact that I was exposed. I always feel so dirty when I have sexual encounters, it ruined me and changed my mindset that in order to live I need pleasure. I never experience love, not from family and I barely have friends so I get “love” from what I learned as a child. I’m still very young in high school and I struggle with it. It haunts me badly everyday, please keep prayers for me in getting rid of this addiction. I desperately need it
Akira S praying for you sweetheart 🙏🏾💓
Aww most definitely praying for you loveee❤️ dive into the word and it’ll give you strength💕🙏🏾
I’m prayingggg for your healing! ❤️
Will pray for you and if you want to speak to someone about it please reach out! I’m here if you need to talk
Akira S GOD BLESS YOU. Please read 1 John 4:19 ❤️
Hello, this is my first time truly telling my story to anyone. But I first started when I was 8/9 but I am still struggling today but I believe by Gods grace I will get there , turning almost 18 please help to pray for me, I will also continue pray for myself. Thank you so much for this video I really needed it from another woman’s point of view especially a woman of faith.
I pray God breaks the chains from the addictions you face 🙌🏾
You’re not alone, sis! God is full of grace and love. I think the only way to overcome this is by knowing God’s love for you. He will pick you up every time you stumble. When the temptation gets too strong, don’t hate yourself for it. Instead take that opportunity to be honest with God and speak aloud to Him and tell Him what it is you want. Honestly. As in... I want to watch this video and touch myself and feel good etc. See what happens. I know it sounds crazy. But God knows you and your heart and still loves you!
Praying for you xx
God has got you sis💯🙌🏾
God's got you keep praying for self control. It will soon come to an end.
Identifying the problem is the first step babe, you have to identify it than battle it. And try to live a purer life cause there’s triggers
The is mad honest. I respect this. Shout out to you
“You need to hate this thing but not hate yourself”..felt that so deep!
Jesus is truly fighting for me with this struggle. I was introduced to sex as a kid.. I was molested by a family member, and porn at the time helped me escape from the pain I had. When I decided to be celibate and all for Christ, my addiction grew stronger smh! This video is honestly God sending me REAL HELP! It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this. I DECLARE WHOEVER DEALS WITH THIS WE WILL OVERCOME! 😢❤️
MsIsyssCorner Amen! In Jesus name! I pray that God will strengthen and heal you. God has such a beautiful life planned for you if you trust and obey him.🙏🏽
You will overcome. Your strength within God will allow you to resist your urges💪🏾🙏🏾
Miss Mel Thank You 🙏🏾❤️
Mrs. T Thank You 🙏🏾
MsIsyssCorner I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you. Jesus will guide you all the way through this struggle. It may not be easy, but it will be so worth it. In Jesus name, I pray that you will be freed from this addiction once and for all. God bless. 💗
This was truly an inspiring video because I also had a breaking point and I knew I had to stop and it’s almost 6 months since I watched pornography and I’m glad God helped me overcome this addiction.
Cindy Otchere congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I pray to join you one day
I’ll make a video about my journey soon❤️
do you still have sexual thoughts
Michelle M of course she will still have some sexual thoughts? We are human.
@@myristicina. i know...i was asking HER but was wondering if it she has them and it leads her to temptation
This prayer, “Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world” (500x) .. it breaks addictions! Its so powerful! May God be with you 💓
Prayer works, but it doesn't work like that.... there's no stipulation about the number of times you have to 'say' a prayer before it 'works.' And there are no particular set of words that are more powerful than others. Its simply about opening up to God sincerely. And according to Romans 8:26-27, the Holy Spirit makes up for what's missing in our imperfect prayers based on what we need.... so just pray with your heart.
This video being recommended is definitely a sign from above... 😭😭
This is the video I’ve been looking for😭 so many videos I’ve watched where the women talk about their “struggle” but are still too afraid to actually talk about all the crumby details. Thank you so much!!! It’s been a long journey for me. From 13 being introduced to it through the boy I liked at the time. I’m 21 now and have been married for 2 years and the couple times I’ve failed since being married thankfully my husband has led me back to Jesus’ Grace💗

Her story is shockingly similar to mine, and therefore this video is so, so powerful. I put off watching it for a while because I knew it would be convicting. Thank you, Courtney, for telling your story. God bless you.
I am so glad to hear a female talk about this. Well done we are proud to have something relatable. God bless you.
So refreshing to hear womans point of view......
I was shocked I thought I was the only female having this problem now I’m happy
