Question

Masterbation is perfectly healthy

Yes it’s a relapse

Agreed it’s not ok, it’s a setback

Masturbation causes the same parts of your brain to light up with dopamine just as porn does. They both entice cheap pleasure that have no worth and kill us. Masturbation destroys the temple of God which dwells inside each of us. It defeats the whole purpose of why God created us, he didn’t create us to pleasure ourselves or watch other be abused and human trafficked online through pornography, but rather that we might procreate and be the true sons and daughters of God! For God did not come into the world to destroy it but save it for he has placed us above all the animals. If God placed us above all the animals who are filthy, how can us, his esteemed princes and princesses, his once perfect creation, do what animals could not comprehend of masturbation and the creation and viewing of porn. How? We must not fall into this dilemma of does this still count as a relapse or not, for most assuredly I say to you, if you are debating whether something is a relapse or not, it 99.9% is a relapse. For cheap pleasure is cheap pleasure which shall pass away and the lusts of this world, but God’s everlasting joy endures forever! I pray we all might endure temptations, through Jesus’s name Amen!

I say cut it out in the first two weeks then after that you can but just keep your phone very far away

I’d say no, from personal experience I feel like even without the porn, masturbating slowly kills your spirit
