Struggling with..

[locrian93]

Hey everyone,

This is my first post as you can see. I joined the forum to seek help with my struggles, so here I go:

I've had a cast and foot fetish for as long as i remember. These two combine when I see a casted leg, etc. It's frustrating how hard this is, I find girl's feet (some ) extremely attractive, not to mention the "plus" of a cast. This leads me to such a sexual desire that ends in masturbation. I've been fighting with it for the last 4 years approx. I've had "good" periods with aorund 2 months without falling, and really bad ones, like the first months of last year, with 2 or 3 times per week.

Right now I'm being temptated with thoughts on feet, casts, a desire of having a cast, etc. Moreover, there's an unusual desire of having a girlfriend.. (I liked a girl since 2010 but things didn't end well, although we were only friends)

I'd appreciate any help

Alot of people get embrassed about sexual things that are abnormal. The thing is, is that chemicals in our brain make can make sexuality mess up so to speak or situations from our childhoods. Its no different really from you preferring rye bread and me white. It really isnt. As far as masturbating it is a sin so try to refrain but dont get yourself down. It isnt your fault that you are attracted to these things.

I know this is frustrating man. I have weird things that trigger me to have the desire to touch as well. At all costs, I refrain from masturbation. God sees it as a sin because our fluids are precious. They are what create life and God does not want to see them go to waste. Masturbation is so hard to overcome because in the moment we forget all of the guilt it has caused us in the past until it is over with. And it can easily turn into an addictive cycle. Its so hard but all you can do is fill yourself with positive thoughts and interactions. When I even begin to slightly become weak, I start praying for strength or I listen to powerful music that God uses to give me strength or I will go into the family room and watch TV or even just go to bed. I do anything it takes to not think about and dwell on the desire. As for the attractions, they aren't necessarily bad because they are at least of a woman, the problem is the masturbation that they lead to. We must remain faithful. As you already probably know, the first couple weeks are tough but it does get easier. Just keep praying for strength to overcome this issue. Jesus is worth more than a quick [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]. Always remember that our God is worth more than all of these quick sinful pleasures. Stay strong and win this battle so you can please your Savior. He will reward those that remain loyal. I will also be praying that God gives you the strength to get past this. You can do this bro. You have already made great strides in your past. Now go longer. Go farther. Just as masturbation can become such an easy habit, so can overcoming it.

I understand what you're going through. I was once a masturbation and pornography addict but God delivered me. It's getting close to a year now since I last looked at pornography or masturbated. I just finished writing a book on how to deal with these issues and there's so much biblical tips and advice that I can share. But I don't want to bore you with over 100 pages of tips. I'd just give you once KEY advice. Guard your heart.

The truth is that Masturbation addiction has its root in the heart. It is our thoughts that translate into our desires. Proverbs 4:13 says, Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Masturbation addiction is an issue of life....if you want to stop it, guard your heart from thoughts that trigger the desire.

One of the easiest way to do this is to take in more of God's Word. Don't just read the bible like a newspaper. Read it, meditate on it, ask the Lord to reveal things from those words. As you do this, you'll just find out that it becomes easier for you to control what goes into your mind. You'll find out that it becomes easier for you to resist temptations. This is one thing that I've done, and it has helped me. I'm sure it will help you as well.
