Deeper issue

Every single day there’s at least 5 people that ask if jerking off is okay. Things to think about -why do i want to jerk off -what happened to lead to me wanting to jerk off - am i bored and is this something to do? - what else can i be doing right now other than jacking off? - am i doing this just for dopamine? - do i feel like i have to? -do i enjoy it? - after im done am i ashamed of myself? Are you a slave to your own body? - can you tell yourself no? Think about what can i do instead! You’re coming here asking the question you already sub consciously know the answer to and waiting for someone with the same issue as you have to justify your fleshy desires. The enemy has corrupted your mind to give your flesh what it thinks it needs! What it really needs is God. The answer is, masterbation itself is an addiction as well. If you want to quit porn and not masterbation then you’re addicted and are idolizing masterbation and ejaculation. If you have to ask another person if it’s okay to continue an addiction then you can first acknowledge and understand that porn isn’t your only issue. Not being in control of your flesh and not being able to tell yourself no is a deep rooted issue. Just because you “can” doesn’t mean you should. Dive deep and try to understand yourself and why you do what you do. Find triggers, learn more about yourself instead of masking over your feelings becoming numb to the everything around you because feeling your feelings is tough. The Lord Jesus Christ commands us to pick up our cross daily. To die to ourselves. He is our only way to salvation and the only way to break chains. Please flee from this. Don’t let the enemy make you think you’re strong enough to do it on your own. You can do all things thru Christ who strengthens you
