At This Age

[Rhayven]

God has made sex to be a beautiful thing between two people, it is healthy for one to want sex; our bodies want it actually. But modern society has made it into something dirty and perverted it. If sex wasn't something pleasurable, i'm guessing you wouldn't even be here right now. ~~Oh, i'm not trying to give you excuses to touch or anything. I'm saying that we look at it as all sex is bad~No it isn't!

To answer to your original question-- how to stop masturbating?
1. get your computer out of your room(if it is in there)
2. only go on your pc when your family is home
3. ask God for help to stay pure for your future wife/husband!!!!!
4. put scriptures up all around your home, encouraging you, that you can do it!!!
5. write letters to your future wife/husband. (i know i'm a girl so shh)

ps You don't have to do number five, it's just what I do! when I feel urges like that. you will be supprised the urges goes away real quick when you think about your future mate!! It really excites me to think about-- haha i'm such a girl.

kkaythxbye~<3333

Sin is sin. Romans 3:23 clearly states that we are not pure, but full of sin. Yes God did make us to be pure and holy, however we were blemished. That's where Jesus comes in! His blood is what makes us pure and holy! I, by God's infinite grace. love and mercy, have been of porn for almost a full year! My reason was because I really took God lightly and, He was only there because I needed forgiveness. I took advantage of that and, now that I have a bigger picture, I can see that God loved me no matter what! Lust is an everyday battle for me. Sometimes I win, and when I don't, I get right back up (sometimes it takes a while ) and understand that God's love never ceases. I know that you want to end these struggles, but I would really say just lean on God and GET RID OF/ MOVE ANYTHING that causes you to sin! God's not a one-way God! You got to do your part in it!
God Bless ya!

I completely understand how you feel, I've been struggling with the same things. I have decided to start memorizing verses. Fill your mind with the word, start small, like one verse a month.

At the moment I'm kinda not feeling to urge to it because of the weirdest thing... because I like a girl a lot. Isn't that weird? All of a sudden I like a girl, and I don't want to do it at all anymore... I don't even think sexually that much anymore.... I don't know what's with this certain girl, but I like what she's doing to me, lol, the funny thing is she doesn't even know I like her. its probably God's way of saving me from my sin...

1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body

Good thing I don't agree with everything in the bible (or women wouldn't be allowed to talk in church Corinthians 14:34-35, and I'd be allowed to kill my children if they disobey me Deuteronomy 21:18-21)

Ah kind of makes sense now, Jesus died for our sins, so I'm free to touch as much as I want.

That's like saying, Jesus died for my sins, so i can kill as many people as I want, yes I am a fairly good archer, and i'm not too shabby with a knife. But Jesus loves me so I mutilate them while i'm at it. (ends sarcasm)

Remember all sins are equal as we are sinning again the ultimate authority.

 

[Unfit'for'swine]

Encase you people don't know I was being sarcastic

No. All sins are not equal. Raping and murdering children is not the same as masturbating . If God can't forgive me for releasing a little stress in the shower yet allows pedophiles in Catholic Church a free pass from jail, then maybe my thoughts on God have been skewed.

 

[Unfit'for'swine]

No. All sins are not equal. Raping and murdering children is not the same as masturbating .

If I tell a lie to a dog, it won't understand, if I tell a lie to a child, the child may cry, but will forgive me, if I tell a lie to my wife then she may divorce me, if I tell a lie to a policeman he may lock me up, if I tell a lie in court i'll go to jail and if I tell a lie to the government then i'll be executed as a traitor.

The higher the authority the higher the penalty, therefore the highest possible authority is God, therefore our sins are equally infinite, therefore masturbating is equal unto killing

Guess what, people lie everyday. Lies are any sort of deviation from the truth. As for the intensity of the lie that can vary from little exaggerations and white lies to monumental big lies that get people hurt/killed. If I tell a policeman it's raining outside (when it clearly is not) he's not going to throw me in jail. When dealing with lying, it is possible to fabricate a lie so intense it gets people killed. Now you're dealing with some substance that's on par with murder.

 

[Choose2wait]

Pray and read the word when you're tempted.
One of my favorite verses in times like that is

Count it all joy my brothers when you're faced with trials and temptations, for the testing of your faith develops perseverence. James 1:4

It helped me a lot to consider that when you do get into that habit,
you usually bring people into fantasies, stealing from them a sacred act, only meant to be shared between their spouse as God intended. Not sure if that would be something that would deter your temptation, but it sure helped me stop.

You seem to be an expert in this field.

My body wants everything sexual and there seems to be no way to ward off such feelings but the only way to let them pass is to give into them by masturbation. What must be done to stop masturbating and to ward off the temptations of sexual lust?

AHHHHH! why stop masturbating? Masturbation in itself isn't sinful. Adding porn(lust) to the mix makes it sinful.

I consider it a sin, you're spilling life on the ground, correct? It's like spilling blood... YHWH does not condone it, therefore I recommend not doing it.

Why is Masturbation Good for Your Health and Mind?

1. It helps you relax after a stressful day.
2. If you’re not in a relationship, it gives you the sexual release you need.
3. Studies have shown that men who touch regularly are less at risk for developing prostate cancer.
4. For women especially, masturbation allows you to explore and understand your body better, so you will know exactly what you like when you have sex with a partner. This benefits both partners involved.
5. Masturbation is a great cure for insomnia! After an intense [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], try not to fall asleep!
6. It helps to relieve PMS symptoms in women! Women produce a chemical called oxytocin during sexual arousal and [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], which works as a natural pain reliever. It can also help to cure headaches, muscle aches, and other assorted aches and pains any time of the month.
7. It may help fight off depression! The endorphins released during sex or masturbation can improve your overall mood.
8. It can improve the immune system and contribute to overall health! Sex and masturbation increase the flow of testosterone in the body, which helps to transport a hormone called DHEA, which is important to the immune system. The extra testosterone also strengthens bones and muscles.
9. You can’t give yourself an STD!
10. You can’t get yourself pregnant!

This isn't random gibberish either. You can discuss this issue with your doctor and they will tell you the same.
