Firstly i wana thank all of you for allowing a site like this to be possible.
I am 23 yrs old and a student i started to masturbate at the age of 13 i did not have a clue wot i was doing but i felt good.
I was not a very religious person but in the last year i decided to look in to my faith and find out more. Whilst doing this i discovered that masturbating was wrong and should be given up. Reading up on the stuff it made me feel really guilty. for the last year i have tried to give it up the longest being 2 weeks. I was always thought that 'nah im not addicted to it' and even now typing this i feel that i shouldnt. but there is no coincidence in the face that it i am always looking a porn every 2 - 3 days.
I really wana stop im always asking God for help every-night and when i wake up i feel good.
It only takes me going to the shopping mall or watching tv for the feeling to come again. I hate the fact when my mates stare at women i tell them not to , sayin that they should have respect only for me to go home and look at porn. It dont help that my mates always joking about having sex and sayin ' look at that bird' etc. I personally dont believe in sex before mariage and this makes it hard. I suppose this is a test from God to see how strong we can become as humans.
I hate having 2 personalities, saying all this i am my own worst enemy i want to stop but dont but anything in place for it.
That is why today i asking people here on the forum adivce and help. Anything you can say please post it in.
