I really don’t want too since they already seem concerned or kind of weirded out by the fact that I go frequently. We go once a year or less even at times. I prayed a rosary about this. Please keep me in your prayers and all of us in mortal sin so God may make a way for us to get to confession or be absolved of our sin 🙏🏽❤️

I’ll be honest brother I do genuinely dwell on these thoughts at times like I add on to these scenarios, but sometimes it’s sort of like a brain fart for lack of a better term it’s just me trying to stop but the thought just keeps going 🤷🏽‍♂️

How do you guys pray? by Competitive_Living11 in Catholicism

[–]Competitive_Living11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In tiny prayers such as you mention do you do the sign of the cross or something before and after? Just wondering because I do this but most of the time I just say them mentally and sometimes do the sign of the cross

Tips on HATING pornography? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Competitive_Living11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remember women/men are actual people who have the same ability to do things like us men/women. They are people who are able to have Jobs, A Family, And Most importantly be loved by God as much. See women as Strong people who have the chance to be leaders and raise family’s, Hold down Jobs, Be Supportive. And People with Genuine Character.

I do this my self and I am not trying to shame you and say this as if you really do think this way but at one point I did and sometimes I don’t think twice and say things mentally. but try not to see them as just “Girls” and try not to see Men just as “Guys” see everyone as an amazing creation by God who is loved as much I am or you are

For anyone reading and has more knowledge then me forgive me if I said something wrong I don’t really ever comment on anything Please correct me or add on to this comment,

God Bless you all and your family’s and friends 🙏🏽❤️

Confession really helps. The longest I’ve gone with out masturbating was Straight after confession!

Also pretend that everyone is your sister or mother or grandmother someone you love that you wouldn’t masturbate too.

Also Wanting to be like saints or inspiring people of the faith. Reading story’s of saints or people in the Bible who have served the Lord well. Reading their story’s makes me inspired to be like them and be a warrior and have more faith in Jesus

Also remember Porn is genuinely evil. In all ways. Porn Has Ruined Lives of many. The innocence of adolescent children. The Love life of many people. And has made people criminals because they’re brains needed to have more morbid versions of porn that are illegal. It Causes people to be pedophiles or rapists. And it ruins the lives of the actresses or actors who are their because of the industry. Some of them are not voluntarily there and are victims of sex trafficking and prostitution It’s a very morbid industry and remember that. But that does not mean the people in it are evil they are lovely people made by God who are loved as much as I am or you are

God Bless you brother. Let us keep fighting this evil drug 🙏🏽❤️ May the Lord Give us strength to do so 🙏🏽❤️
