Good.u got started on the road to self control. just remember, the main difference between a human and an animals is self control. Lust is caused by a wayward mind. Control it and u have nothing else leftto achieve. Dont be led by the illusion that the feeling will pass away.It may, but only after it has devoured 95 percent of ur life. Dont hallucinate that the desire will go away if u indulge in it. As u may have found by now, the more u act upon it , the more it grows into an obsession. It is like feeding the fire with fuel in the hope that it will eventually die away.\nthere is only one way-control ur mind. dont try to cover ur desires cause they will blow up some other time. Instead destroy them permanently. Take every day individually and try to be good.You will not suceed the first, second , third.... time.But you will suceed finally.the more ur effort, the faster will be ur sucess. THIS IS THE WAY TO COMPLETE FREEDOM. YES. THIS IS THE WAY TO GOD. good luck

lust is an evil thing ... feelings of lust and temptation are NORMAL as far as i'm concerned, it's when you act on them that causes trouble.  \n\nthink back to what intrigued of your current girlfrind.  rediscover those feelings with her ... if you are truly happy, this will not be a problem.

It sounds like you have a lot going on inside of your head.  Financial and emotional issues, work issues, family issues = stress, which can really impact your sexual desires.  Have you tried talking to a counselor/therapist?  \n\nDon't worry about your lack of desire; that will be fixed when you fix whatever's going on in your life that you don't like.

Sorry to hear you are struggling with this. Working out can get rid of sexual energy. Pay attention to the music you are listening to and what you are looking at. Speaking from experience these thing helped me and prayer. Don't he ashamed alot of people go through this. You may relapse sometime, see it for what it is and not failure.

Depression and devastation can cause hindrance sexually and easily causes one to be less sexual. You may want to talk to someone professional, like a therapist, because I think it could be mentally linked.

One way would be to eliminate all laws. No laws, no breaking of laws. But that's probably not what you're looking for.\n\nYou need to examine what causes crime. Laziness, poverty, greed, passionate feelings, etc. Then you need to develop a theory on how to get rid of the causes.

Ten Ways to Break the Stronghold of Pornography\n\nBefore you go through these... have you looked at yourself under the penetrating light of God's Law? Have you come to a place of genuine repentance? Do you know that your heart is desperately wicked; that it's an enemy of God? Do you see your Adamic nature as a Judas living within you, raising his hands and crying "Master, Master," but at the same time betraying the Son of Man with a kiss? Then put that traitor to death. Never trust your own heart again. It cares for nothing but self. The instant gratification of thirty pieces of silver is better than Heaven's approval. It is self-serving, self-gratifying, and self-deceiving. It is "earthly, sensual, devilish" (James 3:15). Look at what Philippians 2:12 says about the "self" nature: \n\n"...work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ)" (The Amplified Bible). \n\n1. Would you ever take pornography to church and look at it during worship? You may as well, because God is just as present in your bedroom as He is in the church building.\n\n2. Face the fact that you may not be saved. Examine yourself to ensure that Christ is living in you (2 Corinthians 13:5). See Romans 6:11–22; 8:1–14; Ephesians 5:3–8.)\n\n3. Realize that when you give yourself to pornography, you are committing adultery (Matthew 5:27,28).\n\n4. Grasp the serious nature of your sin. Jesus said that it would be better for you to be blind and go to heaven, than for your eye to cause you to sin and end up in hell (Matthew 5:29).\n\n5. Those who profess to be Christians yet give themselves to pornographic material evidently lack the fear of God (Proverbs 16:6). Cultivate the fear of God by reading Proverbs 2:1–5.\n\n6. Read Psalm 51 and make it your own prayer.\n\n7. Memorize James 1:14,15 and 1 Corinthians 10:13. Follow Jesus’ example (Matthew 4:3–11) and quote the Word of God when you are tempted (see Ephesians 6:12–20).\n\n8. Make no provision for your flesh (Romans 13:14; 1 Peter 2:11). Get rid of every access to pornographic material—the Internet, printed literature, TV, videos, and movies. But don't just stop there... you also need to begin to think about how high God's standard of holiness and purity really is. What the general public would have called "pornographic" just 60 to 70 years ago is plastered through your Sunday morning newspaper, the billboards you see on your way to work, and the magazines that line the counters at the grocery checkout. Even television commercials are filled with images that if you printed them off and stood in front of an elementary school showing them to children... you would be arrested. The fire is being fed from all different directions... not just those that the world lables as "pornographic." You must stop feeding the fire.\n\n9. Guard your heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23). Don’t let the demonic realm have access to your thought-life. The Bible commands you to get control of your thoughts; read what Romans 13:14 says, "But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts)" (The Amplified Bible - bold added for emphasis). If you give yourself to it, you will become its slave (Romans 6:16). Read the Bible daily, without fail. As you submit to God, the devil will flee (James 4:7,8).\n\n10. The next time temptation comes, do fifty push-ups, then fifty sit-ups. If you are still burning, repeat the process (see 1 Corinthians 9:27, and 1 Corinthians 7:9). This is not just a random "get your mind off it&q

I think anything can be an addiction if you let it consume your thoughts and actions.   The way to cure an addiction like that would be to change your thought pattern by finding other things to think about - like reading a NON SEXUAL magazine or running/walking.  Also, identify life's priorities and work towards your goals.  I don't think sex is HIGH on the 'must get done to live good life list'!

Sexual desire can no more be overcome as can hunger.  Sexual desire, like hunger, can be sated with a caring partner.  Find yourself such a partner and see to each others healthy, consensual sexual desires.\n\nRemember, just as suppressing hunger leads to starvation, suppressing sexual desire leads to pathology:  both are unhealthy.

the best thing I can tell you to do is to find something else to distract you (like the fear of failure). But seriously, I don't think you should act on your urges; just do something else while you're studying like work out or listen to music...that way you can keep your mind off women and sex, better still, study with somebody else...that way if your mind wanders they can stop you and quiz on the material...best of luck on your exam

Porn addiction is tightly correlated with the wank and vice versa.\nMore porno stuff you watch and more the lust is influenced; more your lust decreases and more you feel need to wank. Just a circle of lust hard to break.\nTherefore, the solution can be double: either you try to think some else, setting free you mind from the thought of the pornography, or you just tries to limit the wank.\nAnyway, if you’re young, I think that your problem has to decrease with the age (involuntarily), until to stop when you could find a stable partner. \nTherefore, try to don’t consider it as an obsession, but only as a transitory time of your life.\nI believe that sooner or later you will be bored and fulfilled with it.

You don't!!\n\nAND for all those answers that have given you the advice that you SHOULD anyway, they are OBVIOUSLY in the wrong forum to give advice!!\n\nYou don't want sex....DON"T HAVE IT!\n\nLet the person you'd be involved with pleasure themselves...watch them do it even, that could be a turn on for both of you.  Maybe then you'd like to.  Voyeurism is really erotic.  Watch and see what turns them on, maybe turn yourself on...but if you aren't ready, you aren't ready.  Don't have it unless YOU want to.  IT"S 2006 FOR God's SAKE!! \n\nRESPECT YOURSELF!!

I just start praying and telling myself truths like the devil is a lier and he is decieving me. Think of all the bad things that can come from it. That is how I get through it. My fiance and I are trying to stop having sex untill marriage because we just recently go back into church. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but don't give up never give up, that is the worst thing you can do. Even if you slip up just keep going and try again.
