• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi yo'll,
Here is the problem : I've been in the yahoo pool & dots games & talking to the guys in the tables that i create. Then same guys would start to do this thing called cybering or internet sex thats when you just tell in words what you want to do to the other person in words.
I can't stop doing it. & it gets worse.
I've even started to ask the guys in the tables that i created to do the cybering or the interent sex thing.
Can someone give me any advice?
How can i stop this?

God Bless,
GodsGirl4Ever

I became free of masturbation and fantasy this year after many years of being in bondage to this. I took a free online course called Way of Purity at Setting Captives Free. 3 keys to success are accountability to others, that you tell them what you've been doing and ask them to pray for you and help you. It takes the sin into the light from being in a secret dark place where the enemy has you and it'll start to weaken. DON'T GO TO THESE CHAT places. They are problematic for lots of people, both male and female. Get a filter for your computer, limit the time you spend online. Develop a hobby, fall in love with Jesus more and cling to His words, find other useful things to do with your time.

God's command is to flee sexual temptation. Your path is clear, and simple.

Praise God:clap:

Firstly, you're not alone.

Unplug. Do whatever it takes because this just isn't healthy.

Is there anyone you know who could help you with this and keep you accountable?
I can understand how it may be difficult to mention this to someone in real life. Secrecy and shame are sources of power for things like this though.

Thanks for having the courage to talk about this. You've already made a start.

Doesn't anyone care that this is a dangerous activity? Don't worry about God's opinion of you, Jesus forgives all. If he could forgive makind for murdering him, I think he can forgive you for getting your rocks off online. What you DO have to worry about is the fact that the internet is a very easy thing to use to stalk/sexually assault people. Anybody with a modicum of skill at hacking will be able to get your IP address and narrow down you location to within a few miles. At that point it is easy to find out where you live. You are putting yourself in danger because you are choosing to associate with anonymous strangers in sexual ways and presenting yourself as someone who "wants sex". Please, protect your life, let Jesus look after your soul. If you feel drawn to these sites again, go to a bookstore, buy a romantic novel or some random erotica book. A book has never killed anyone.

Recognise that in many ways fantasies spill over into real life is several ways. Deciding to stop is vital and easy. Staying stopped is much harder. It really depends on what sort of person you want to be, and what you want to offer to your future spouse.

Or, there may be some underlying background to your life that stokes up your sexual interest?

Although I don't believe these things are good for you, it is better for your well-being to read or write romance novels/erotica than to chat online with strangers who may or may not want to have sex with you ... and may or may not track you down and rape you.

UPDATE: God got me out of that one. & im free of this.
Good for you. Learning how to overcome this will then allow you to help others.

Don't be down on yourself about this. You're human. You knew what you were doing was wrong and you did something about it. Often we get caught in traps because we think we can't get caught in them. There's only one way to learn this lesson.
