I've been struggling with this for a long time now. I need help because it's killing me inside, I hate it and have a desire to quit. It's hard too and at times I'll give in. Please pray for me.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Try only like once a week until you can completely cut it off.
Anyhow, I'll pray for you.
God Bless

Lord, be there for him and send him the help he wants. Show him you are going to be there every step of the way and are listening. Send him your love, peace, comfort and strength. I pray for this, in Jesus name, Amen.
Try not to worry too much, God will provide the help you need. Have a blessed day.

praying for you 
together with God in prayer and spiritual warfare you can defeat the temptation of masturbation. I had a similar situation two and a half years ago and I was able to do so in this way. I hope this helps as well building of the amount of times may help you.

Are you a fairly young man? I'm asking because I remember how much grief masturbation caused me when I was younger. It's a terrible temptation to overcome.
I know many Christians say that masturbation itself is a sin, but I disagree. The sin is in looking at porn or fantasizing about a pretty girl you saw or know. Here's how I dealt with it: since I believed that God had a lovely woman in store to be my wife someday, I would fantasize about having sex with her. I considered it a faith issue. I didn't know what she would look like, so I didn't give her a face. I imagined everything else and what she might do and say.
I know I'll take flak for this, but honestly, I don't think it's a terrible suggestion, and it's much better than looking at porn or fantasizing about a real woman that you're not married to.

What does this have to do over anything? I did not mean a wife, when you marry, you become one with your wife. Any other girl, real or fake, would be lustful.
