I started when I was 6 years old… today is Day 1.
To the shock of probably many of you, I started when I was around 6-7 years old. At the time, I was young enough not to know how to close tabs on a browser, so I was caught by my dad simply by looking at safari. From that point on, I've been caught around 3-4 times throughout my life. It escalated to the point of going online to find adults to chat and sext with on the internet, putting myself nightly in dangerous positions that underwhelmed me at the time but pleased me enough to keep me going. I turned 18 two days ago, and I realize that this lust devalues God’s children. Picture someone having vile thoughts lusting after your own daughter. THAT is what we are doing to God’s own daughters. Treat them as if they were your own daughter, a sweet child of your own. Today is day one.
I actually relate to your story a lot Carter, my brother told me about sex when I was in 2nd grade (7 years old), and after I searched it on safari I was hooked for several years and I couldn’t even masturbate yet. In 5th grade I got bored of it but after I masturbated for the first time (on accident) in 7th grade, the addiction came right back, but way worse. Now I’m 18 and I’ve fought the good fight and I think I’m finally winning (13 days clean). I know that through God’s mercy, we can be changed and have more respect for our fellow beings and God’s daughters. Good luck on your journey Carter, and never stop trying 🫡
