So the main reason I’m doing this because porn was becoming an addiction and a coping mechanism for stress and anxiety, which in the end made it a lot worse and difficult to find a partner. Will I see big benefits not watching porn but still allowing occasional masturbation? (2 times per week). Or should I not be masturbating? Look forward to hearing your thoughts
Brother, I’ve been in both instances. My advice to you is to go all in if you’re wanting to quit. The use of Porn is only a deeper gateway stemming from the original behavior in which is having to work harder to create these lustful images in our heads. I don’t know if you believe in God but He HATES sexual sin. In fact, Paul talks about our bodies as being temples of the Holy Spirit. He says, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). On the other hand, Jesus and his grace of forgiveness is ultimately what makes us right with God! He knew before hand we would do these sinful acts so he paid the price for us! However, it’s on us to RESPOND to his Grace by ending the things that separate us from him. Even if you don’t believe bro, I encourage you to join me and try to quit completely not just for yourself, but for the mental clarity of your mind, for the victorie over the forces we can’t see that make us fall into the act of mastrubation, for your family (girlfriend, brother, sister, those who look up to you) and for God because he LOVES YOU BRO! Keep going. I hope this answer helps❤️.
