porn and touching yourself quit for a month

[joshiwoshi]

Hey guys I thought i have decided to quit this habit for good and thought it would be good to start a thread to help both me and you as I know this is a common addiction. Our aim is to reach a month. If you fall, be honest. Update daily with your progress and I hope that you and I will all succeed. God bless

Masturbation can be addictive but isn't necessarily or explicitly a sin. Good luck on reaching your goal though.

I would like to join. I have already been free from sexual impurity for a week. So how is your quitting going?

OK my view is that sex is a gift from god to be shared with your married wife or husband and touching yourself is abusing that gift from god. Also, on the physical effect, it is very addictive which of course is not good. And of course it does change the way we see the other gender (from a guys point of view.....idk about a girl). I know that when I was doing it alot, it was all I could think of when I spoke to a girl...which of course is lust, which is a sin

Good luck! I hope it's going well for you. I'm not personally against masturbation so I can't give testimony to the effectiveness of these tricks, but I've heard that keeping yourself busy and spending time around other people is a big help.

Remember that if you slip up, you can always keep trying. Focus on positive reinforcement and why you're doing this.
