• 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.

Ok, I'll basically start by saying that I have a similar problem as both LoneFox and ILikePeanutButter. I'm addicted to furry porn. :eek:

To be honest, I've never really thought about how bad what I'm doing is until very recently (within the last couple days). My faith was (and still is I suppose) a bit shaky, and now that I'm looking back I realise that I've been sinning like crazy.

The thing is, I don't honestly think I can kick it. I have this feeling of inevitability that I will go back as soon as I leave. The thing is, I don't want to leave, subconciously at least. I've seen a link called "Setting Captives Free" or something floating around, and I will probebly check it out ASAP.

"...Nothing is impossible with God." (Luke1:37)

I chose this quote because it was no man who said these words; it actually the angel Gabrial, God's messenger. When he came before Mary and told her she was going to give birth as a virgin, Mary asked how that could possibly happen. Thats something I would ask too. How the heck can she have a baby if she's never had sex??? Gabrial responded with the simple truth that God has no limitations in what He can do.

If a baby can be born of a virgin, if a man born blind can be healed of a defect present at birth, if two fish and five loaves of bread can feed five thousand people....

Then what is stopping you from quitting your addiction?

Call upon the Lord, and you can do anything. By yourself, yeah, I would say it would be pretty much imossible to quit. But you are not alone in this. The Word and the Spirit are your two greatest allies. Use them!

I have been looking at that furry porn for about 5 years, and was getting into even worse stuff. I used to do it once or twice a day and even more on some occasions. I was literally months away from writing my own stories. Actually, thats not true. I did write a short story, but later I destroyed it because I was disgusted with what I had done. I even had the screenname of a furry artist in my AIM buddylist and I talked to her several times!

And not once after coming here have I has any of that come back to haunt me. I havent had a major urge in a week, and I havnt had a single thought about furries thats ever lasted more than a second or two. Two years ago, I would have told you that would have been impossible.

After I failed to quit many times, I began to think that the Lord didnt want me to have a normal sexuality. But it turns out that I just didnt put enough faith in Him.

All it takes is some determination, and some genuine faith. You need to take several steps before you are ready. It seems that You first have to realize how much you want to change. Like, for me, I always knew that animal porn was wrong, but it wasnt until I heard some people talking about it that it really hit me. They said that the idea of having sex with an animal was so completly sick to them that they couldnt imagine any reason why someone would do it. They were absolutly disgusted by it. Its pervese, and you dont even need to talk to a christian to get that answer. That sort of stuff just dosnt really occur to you until you hear it from someone else.

I believe furry porn is worse than normal porn because it gets you sexually attracted to things that arent even real. It puts you in a fantasy world that has no easy escape. Its as far from being normal as you can possibly get. The more you realize these things the easier it is to stop.

Eeven when I get urges now, its that above statement that can get me through it all most of the time. Other times I only need to rely on God. Those times are truely awesome. All I do is say quick plea to the Lord and my sexual thoughts just dissapear. I still find that amazing!

You dont feel like you can quit. Ive been feeling like that for 5 years, lol. Dont kid yourself. All it takes is some faith. Lets start on that now, shall we?

So please pray with me.

Dear Lord, You know that I am struggling with my addiction to these perverse drawings. I know am weak and although I genuinely want to quit, I feel that I do not have the willpower to suceed on my own. That is why I am calling out to you, Lord. Please, enter my life and take control of it, because I need you. Please help me recognize that what I need is not willpower, but spiritual strength and a genuine trust in You. For in Your name, all things are possible.

Please help me live my life according to the Spirit, not the flesh.

In Christ Jesus I pray, Amen.



The more you grow in the Spirit, the easier it will become to stop. Take my word for it, ive been in your position for far too long. :thumbsup:

All I see is a little box with a red X in it, sorry.

How on earth does bestiality count as art? You said "artist"?
Well, maybe the "technical" ability to produce realistic images using media such as paint or computer imaging may merit the technical title of "artist", but I suppose subject matter may nullify it if you see it that way.

Setting Captives Free is awesome, I am going through it myself, and would recomend it to you or anyone who struggles with any sexual sin.
Porn is porn, furry or not, I will be praying for you Defuret, your freedom and your spiritual life. If you ever want to talk let me know buddy,
God bless
