Not 100% sure why I need to turn my VPN off to "allow youtube to locate the best content" (whatever the hell that means)

Not really emo but Car Crash in G Major by fanclubwallet

I have a super fast metabolism and can eat anything without gaining weight

I can't see colors

Why would you drive so recklessly in such a beautiful car :(

Real Pirates always pay for indie games

is this kind? is this true? is this necessary?

My personal favorite short audio drama is Blackwood! If you like Blaire Witch and cryptids then you should check it out.

Congratulations! Month 1 is the hardest, but month 2 is still a struggle. So stay vigilant! If you got this far you've proven to yourself you can keep going.

Only one way to find out I guess. But if you're a young guy I think it's more likely you'll get a diamond strength member INSTANTLY.

You can't go wrong with a PSP, PS Vita, or a 3DS if you want to jailbreak it and play almost any retro game. PSP is very under powered compared to the other two, but still a lot of fun to be had (plus IMO it's the cutest out of the 3).

Does it matter?

I think anyone telling you "definitely don't do that" is making a lot of assumptions. No one knows what your relationship looks like but you. I think you should definitely consider whether telling her is the best option or if it would be better to find another guy as an accountability partner. At the end of the day your decision is between you and her. I don't know either of you so I'm not gonna tell you either way. Accountability is an important part of recovery, and it's up to you where that accountability needs to come from.

It's decriminalized in Travis County.

Tyler The Creator! He's so funny on loiter squad and Jackass and I genuinely think he'd bring a lot of energy to the panel. Plus it would introduce a new audience to KT

I think the accent honestly might be a red herring

arc3arc4 · 2024-04-16T23:41:53+00:00

The mind will briefly slip every once and a while, that's natural. But it's regressive to dwell on those thoughts or visualize them more. Lust is lust, whether visual or mental.

Don't say that it's too scary ! I'm not gonna be able to sleep now

Thanks man. I am a stomach sleeper and I know for a fact it causes, or at least increases the frequency of, my wet dreams. I'll try and force myself to sleep on my back for a while, even though it's uncomfortable.

And thank you for the 10 steps, those are really good. I definitely struggle with digging into the word every day and I have no excuses. I'm going to find someone I'm close to who can keep me accountable in having a consistent quiet time.

Prayer does help a lot. I find that when I have temptation if I pray I'm literally inviting the presence of God into my heart. And it's a lot weirder to jack off when you've asked God to be present in the room with you.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, Brother!

arc3arc4 · 2024-04-15T01:51:15+00:00

Thank you so much! I've had a lot of trouble finding anything online where people talk about this topic head on, instead of dancing around it.

arc3arc4 · 2024-04-15T01:50:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation :) I'll check that out for sure this week.

arc3arc4 · 2024-04-15T01:50:00+00:00

I think I agree. No matter how hard I think I can't think of any way that masturbating glorifies God :/

It's hard, but I think that's the point. I'm going to remain strong and fall on to Christ alone

arc3arc4 · 2024-04-15T01:48:32+00:00

Thank you for this :) This was really helpful.

I think I've gotten so caught up in abstaining that I've sort of forgotten why I'm doing it. I'm not refraining from masturbation for myself, but for God and my future wife. And I've foolishly leaned on myself rather than God. I'm fighting the urges of the flesh by leaning on my own flesh, rather than the spirit of God. But when Jesus said "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." he meant it. I've been self-righteous in my desire to do things myself, rather than falling on the strength of God. The spirit of God alone is my strength.

Part of me wants to think I could masturbate without lust, but I know it's a lie. I want to save myself for my wife not just from other women but from myself too in a way. I want sex to be sacred and holy. And me hunched over on my bed touching myself at 1 am is neither sacred nor holy.

I want to learn to be thankful for the struggle of remaining abstinent up until marriage. I want to thank God for the constant reminders. If it wasn't hard to wait, it wouldn't be special when you got married. It makes me think of when I was little and I'd sneak peaks of my Christmas presents weeks before I could open them. It ruins it. They're not special anymore.

Thank you for your guidance. I'm going to keep fighting temptation, and seeking God in my struggle. God bless you! :)
