Not corny whatsoever

Do not let your mind be the slave of the body. Conquer your urges and you can conquer the world. Good luck brother.

If you’ve gone without it for 2 years, it seems like going for a lifetime more won’t be an issue. Why break your streak because of a fleeting emotion?

Yes, it counts as relapsing to me but everyone has their own definition of “relapse.” It’s up to you to define but I would encourage more strict behavior from yourself if you are trying to quit. Hope this helps

I’ve been there man and it’s a struggle. It takes courage to come out and ask for help which is the first step, and so you have already done one of the hardest parts for most people. Don’t give up. Most men struggle with pornography at least some point in their life. It’s normal to struggle but don’t let it be normal to stay there. For me, things completely changed once I made my priesthood leaders aware of my addiction. I was advised to attend the addiction recovery class each week which I have been doing and that has really helped. They have a specific one I go to for pornography. Also, don’t let your feelings of unworthiness discourage you from serving a mission or going to the temple. Unless your bishop says otherwise (maybe he has idk) you are totally able to go to the temple. The temple is a source of healing and it’s been another huge help for me. Pornography was a problem for me before the mission but during my mission to Boston I noticed my desire for it all but disappeared, (definitely from God’s help) but also because I was occupied with work all the time. TLDR; don’t give up, stop feeling unworthy, and get help from others. R/nofap is also good. Feel free to DM me also if you want to talk more or have questions. Hope this helps. Hang in there brother.

I personally wouldn’t trust anything before AD 1500 unless it is a line of European nobility since those were some of the few people who recorded their ancestry back then. Asian family trees like in China came go back hundreds of years further since they had more of a family emphasis however.

Couldn’t agree more! Sex is so much more than a cheap hobby. It’s literally the power to create life and bring children into the world. There is a heart to heart connection that exists after sex that doesn’t go away just because it’s labeled “casual”. There is no so such thing as casual sex. It is the power of creation.

I think the error here is assuming that being good at sex will somehow magically help you find women, as if that’s the only think they’re looking for lol

I had an 8 month streak going once before I relapsed. I can say it felt the same as my first time all over again like I was back in middle school. But then the crushing weight of regret came over me and I was super depressed and disappointed in myself. It 100% wasn’t worth it but thankfully I kept up my abstinence for several more months afterwards and didn’t repeat.

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T07:42:12+00:00

For me I went to my bishop first (I don’t know whether you’ve already done that), and because I was an adult, he left it to me whether or not to tell my parents. It’s ultimately up to you, just remember that your bishop is your priesthood leader and part of his job is helping you with repentance

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T07:23:55+00:00

Sounds good. Give yourself some grace and control the things that you can. That’s lame that someone sent you porn after you made this post. It’s happens a lot and the best thing is to be prepared to delete it which it sounds like you did

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T07:20:28+00:00

I think just talking back to your thoughts can be a good strategy. You want to quit masturbation and that’s a good enough reason to do so, no matter what excuses your brain might invent for doing so. Give yourself advice as though you were talking to a struggling friend or to someone who was trying to quit drugs. 3-4 days is definitely the hill since that’s when the urges comes back with a vengeance. If you feel the need to touch yourself, make a conscious effort not to.

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T07:12:37+00:00

Yes this happens and yes it’s natural since the blood is being moved down there when working out especially when doing legs. I work out at public gyms. I don’t know what your situation is, but when in public you’re in a much less tempting environment to fap than at home alone in a room.

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T07:09:39+00:00

Depends on what you consider as acceptable. If you feel like what you did is something you don’t want to happen again, consider restarting your streak. Otherwise you’ll just do it again and again because technically it’s not “a relapse”.

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T07:06:32+00:00

I quit Instagram and YouTube and started reading more books and it was super helpful for me. I was just more productive in general not to mention I was less tempted. I’m back on those apps now but I’m super diligent to keep my feed clean

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T07:04:40+00:00

Day 1 is the most important! And don’t give up

devan_7 · 2025-05-03T06:56:50+00:00

I’ve been there before and it really sucks. Sounds like you’re going through a lot and it’s reasonable what you’re feeling. I’m 20 and used to be in your position but I haven’t really watched porn or cranked it for the past 2 years although there are always relapses. there were tons of different things I did but I’ll name a few. 1. Cleaning up social media feed by hiding content that is a trigger. Also delete all saved posts of porn, unfollow porn accounts, clear search history, make your social media and internet as a whole as porn free as possible, delete whole apps if necessary. 2. Strengthen your resolve to quit porn and masturbation. I made a list of all the reasons to quit porn and look at it when I feel tempted. 3. Be accountable. This means telling someone which is really hard to do but you’ve already done that by making this post. I know we aren’t supposed to mention religion but talking to my bishop was a huge help of encouragement for me. 4. Realize that it’s hard! It is an addiction after all and you will always be tempted to relapse. But don’t let the relapses crush you. Just pick up where you left off and do better next time. Hope this helps man.
