  • Are pornography or masturbation just men’s issues?
    Both men and women are drawn towards intimate relationships, which means that both can be subject to temptations to lust and commit sexual sin. But unfortunately, it’s been seen mostly as a men’s issue, leaving women who do struggle to do so alone. This isolation often only makes the temptations worse, and the devil loves to feed us all kinds of lies, telling us we’ll never be free.
    Today, Mari explains why pornography and masturbation aren’t just men’s issues, and how to refute the lies that the evil one tells women and claim the truth that Jesus can heal you.

      May The Lord enlighten you heart, this is my prayer for you: Eph 1:17 I always pray to the great and glorious Father, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that he will give you the Spirit, who will let you know truths about God and help you understand them, so that you will know him better.
      Eph 1:18 I pray that God will open your minds to see his truth. Then you will know the hope that he has chosen us to have. You will know that the blessings God has promised his holy people are rich and glorious. May he break the chains of bondage and set you free in Jesus Name Amen

    Thanks a lot for having this conversation. I'm a young woman recovering from pornography and masturbation addiction. I was in denial for so long, even though I got into it since I was thirteen, and I even promoted masturbation as a way of self-"love" and knowing myself, I didn't think it was a problem until I tried to stop.Thanks God I realized how wrong I was! And thanks to the Holy Catholic church I've been keeping away from that, but it's hard. I've been clean for almost three months now. I pray for all of us fighting with this sin

      I have been there and thanks the love of Jesus I was freed. I was married out the Church and wasn't able to receive communion for years, so I did a Cursillo retreat and started to learn more about my Catholic faith and pray more, then my marriage started to go downhill and when I was able to receive communion again and have Christ in me I left all behind. I have been single since 2016 and never have done that again to myself. It's a struggle because even your dreams can come in the way, but I got all my strength from the way I have live my life and how the Lord has purify me all this years!
      Be strong, get to pray more, read more good Catholic books, go to confession, pray the Rosary, Our Mother is on your side too. Train your mind, purify your soul and your body. There is nothing impossible for God and you can do it with him by your side.
      God bless you and keep you strong.

    Thank you, Mari! These are wonderful insights into sexual sin.
    I wanted to share a few tips that I have adopted in my own battle in the hope of helping others:
    1. Notice how you feel when temptation hits: For me, temptation hits the hardest when I am tired and feeling sluggish (and therefore, least likely to fight against Satan’s attempts to lure me into sin). Addicts often use the acronym H.A.L.T., which stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, and Tired. When you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired is when temptation is the most difficult to resist. If you find yourself in one of these categories, take action immediately-have a healthy snack, pray, call a friend, take a nap (use with caution), etc.
    2. Mortification/self control: This is the art of leashing your temptations so that YOU control them, not the other way around. Mari mentioned controlling your appetite, but consider other methods of practicing self control, such as taking lukewarm showers, not hitting the snooze button, or saying a Rosary when you really want to watch the next episode.
    3. Verbal refusal: This is one I discovered on my own and that Mari touched on. Confession is the most important verbalizing, but also try it by yourself. If you are tempted to sexual sin, say out loud, “I will not watch porn.” or, “I will not masturbate because my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.” Say these words with conviction. I am always shocked at how quickly the temptation dissipates. I’ve even directed the words, “Leave me alone” at Satan.
    4. Set yourself up for success: Arm yourself with the tools God has made available for you. Find books on purity (I’m reading 40 Days to Freedom: Winning the Battle for Sexual Purity by Dann Aungst). Track your menstrual cycle to determine when you are most tempted and plan outings on those days. Plan on going to confession every week or every other week (do you really want to confess masturbation again?).
    5. Find your temptation outlets and destroy them. Scrolling on Instagram when temptation hits? Turn off your phone immediately. Know which authors include smut in their books? Don’t even check them out at the library with the intention of skipping over the sex scenes. Cute guy in your class that you can’t stop fantasizing about? Sit at the front of the class so you can’t see him.
    This is a battle for your purity and your soul. Put up a good fight.

      @maddiesnow8806 2 года назад +1

      @Chertsey Nermal God will forgive a sincere confession and then you have to forgive yourself (easier said than done)! It’s a great skill to recognize the thoughts and events leading up to sin. I would recommend having a game plan in place if you start to feel tempted again (for me, cold showers and getting out the house works wonders). Thanks for sharing such a difficult moment and resolving to try again!

      In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
      God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
      12. To Him belongs absolute control of the heavens and the earth. He spreads the bounties to whomever He wills, or reduces it. He is aware of all things.
      13. He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents.
      45. And cite for them the parable of the present life: it is like water that We send down from the sky; the plants of the earth absorb it; but then it becomes debris, scattered by the wind. God has absolute power over everything.
      46. Wealth and children are the adornments of the present life. But the things that last, the virtuous deeds, are better with your Lord for reward, and better for hope.
      47. On the Day when We set the mountains in motion; and you see the earth emerging; and We gather them together, and leave none of them behind.
      48. They will be presented before your Lord in a row. “You have come to Us as We created you the first time. Although you claimed We would not set a meeting for you.”
      49. And the book will be placed, and you will see the sinners fearful of its contents. And they will say, “Woe to us! What is with this book that leaves nothing, small or big, but it has enumerated it?” They will find everything they had done present. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.
      50. We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” So they bowed down, except for Satan. He was of the jinn, and he defied the command of his Lord. Will you take him and his offspring as lords instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.
      51. I did not call them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; and I do not take the misleaders for assistants.
      52. On the Day when He will say, “Call on My partners whom you have claimed.” They will call on them, but they will not answer them. And We will place between them a barrier.
      53. And the sinners will see the Fire, and will realize that they will tumble into it. They will find no deliverance from it.
      54. We have elaborated in this Quran for the people every kind of example, but the human being is a most argumentative being.
      55. What prevented people from accepting faith, when guidance has come to them, and from seeking their Lord’s forgiveness? Unless they are waiting for the precedent of the ancients to befall them, or to have the punishment come upon them face to face.
      56. We send the messengers only as deliverers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve argue with false argument, in order to defeat the truth thereby. They take My Verses, and the warnings, for a joke.
      57. Who does greater wrong than he, who, when reminded of his Lord’s revelations, turns away from them, and forgets what his hands have put forward? We have placed coverings over their hearts, lest they understand it, and heaviness in their ears. And if you call them to guidance, they will not be guided, ever.
      58. Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.
      59. And these towns-We destroyed them when they committed injustices, and We set for their destruction an appointed time.
      10. Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and used to ridicule them.
      11. God originates creation, and then repeats it. Then to Him you will be returned.
      12. On the Day when the Hour takes place, the guilty will despair.
      13. They will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will disown their partners.
      14. On the Day when the Hour takes place-on that Day they will separate.
      15. As for those who believed and did good deeds-they will be delighted in meadows.
      16. But as for those who disbelieved, and rejected Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter-those will be hauled into the torment.
      17. So glorify God when you retire at night, and when you rise in the morning.
      18. His is the praise in the heavens and on earth, and in the evening, and when you reach midday.
      19. He brings the living out of the dead, and He brings the dead out of the living, and He revives the land after it had died. Likewise you will be resurrected.
      20. And of His signs is that He created you from dust; and behold, you become humans spreading out.
      21. And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them; and He planted love and compassion between you. In this are signs for people who reflect.
      22. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are signs for those who know.
      23. And of His signs are your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. In this are signs for people who listen.
      24. And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand.
      25. And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once.
      26. To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. All are submissive to Him.
      27. It is He who initiates creation, and then repeats it, something easy for Him. His is the highest attribute, in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise.
      28. He illustrates an example for you, from your own selves: do you make your servants full partners in the wealth We have given you? Do you revere them as you revere one another? We thus explain the revelations for a people who understand.
      29. Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers.
      30. So devote yourself to the religion of monotheism-the natural instinct God has instilled in mankind. There is no altering God’s creation. This is the true religion, but most people do not know.
      31. Turning towards Him-and be conscious of Him, and perform the prayer, and do not be of the idolaters.
      32. Of those who divided their religion, and became sects; each faction pleased with what they have.
      33. When affliction touches the people, they call on their Lord, turning to Him in repentance. But then, when He gives them a taste of His mercy, some of them attribute partners to their Lord.
      34. To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Indulge yourselves-you will surely know.
      35. Have We sent down to them any authority, which speaks in support of their idols?
      36. When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.
      37. Do they not see that God expands the provision for whomever He wills, or restricts it? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
      38. So give the relative his rights, and the destitute, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek God’s presence. Those are the prosperous.
      39. The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people’s wealth, will not multiply with God. But what you give in charity, desiring God’s approval-these are the multipliers.
      40. God is He who created you, then provides for you, then makes you die, then brings you back to life. Can any of your idols do any of that? Glorified is He, and Exalted above what they associate.
      41. Corruption has appeared on land and sea, because of what people’s hands have earned, in order to make them taste some of what they have done, so that they might return.
      42. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters.”
      43. So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from God a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.
      44. Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously-they are preparing for themselves.
      45. So that He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not love the ungrateful.

      29. Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers.
      30. So devote yourself to the religion of monotheism-the natural instinct God has instilled in mankind. There is no altering God’s creation. This is the true religion, but most people do not know.
      31. Turning towards Him-and be conscious of Him, and perform the prayer, and do not be of the idolaters.
      32. Of those who divided their religion, and became sects; each faction pleased with what they have.
      33. When affliction touches the people, they call on their Lord, turning to Him in repentance. But then, when He gives them a taste of His mercy, some of them attribute partners to their Lord.
      34. To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Indulge yourselves-you will surely know.
      35. Have We sent down to them any authority, which speaks in support of their idols?
      36. When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.
      37. Do they not see that God expands the provision for whomever He wills, or restricts it? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
      38. So give the relative his rights, and the destitute, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek God’s presence. Those are the prosperous.
      39. The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people’s wealth, will not multiply with God. But what you give in charity, desiring God’s approval-these are the multipliers.
      40. God is He who created you, then provides for you, then makes you die, then brings you back to life. Can any of your idols do any of that? Glorified is He, and Exalted above what they associate.
      41. Corruption has appeared on land and sea, because of what people’s hands have earned, in order to make them taste some of what they have done, so that they might return.
      42. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters.”
      43. So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from God a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.
      44. Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously-they are preparing for themselves.
      45. So that He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not love the ungrateful.

Until I was able to fully understand why I feel the need to. I do struggle whith masturbating I used to deny it so much. Because it wasn’t a one time a month thing it’s more of a once every two-3 months thing but I have high since it still makes me feel a strong guilt. I am making a change today ,spending more time in prayer and freely admitting to God yea is it something i struggle with and also want to stop.

I am opposed to the curse, and I'd give women eternal youth and life if I had that power. I know you will get it spiritually, but I'd also make this place right too! The curse is more wrong than anything I could ever imagine. The woman was blamed for everything, but I can just picture a young and naive Eve. She didn't know what she was getting into. It's very unfair.

      I know the reason why I was so viciously attacked. It's because of my ability to figure puzzles. I was a math and physics teacher. Well, this year I used Snell's Law to figure out where we came from. We started out as pure energy. That energy was refracted, and then internal reflection was used to trap our souls. I can even demonstrate the mathematics of how it works. Isn't that something. It's not the first time. I once designed a program that everyone said would be impossible to design, but it worked like a charm, and I think it's being used in A.I.. I also figured time travel, but I'm keeping my mouth shut about that. It's a lot of work. One has to understand advanced calculus, physics, and linear algebra to understand how it works, but it would work and time travel would be possible in both directions. That sounds crazy until you take a look at my academic history. I'm a genius Racquel.

      In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
      God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
      12. To Him belongs absolute control of the heavens and the earth. He spreads the bounties to whomever He wills, or reduces it. He is aware of all things.
      13. He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents.
      45. And cite for them the parable of the present life: it is like water that We send down from the sky; the plants of the earth absorb it; but then it becomes debris, scattered by the wind. God has absolute power over everything.
      46. Wealth and children are the adornments of the present life. But the things that last, the virtuous deeds, are better with your Lord for reward, and better for hope.
      47. On the Day when We set the mountains in motion; and you see the earth emerging; and We gather them together, and leave none of them behind.
      48. They will be presented before your Lord in a row. “You have come to Us as We created you the first time. Although you claimed We would not set a meeting for you.”
      49. And the book will be placed, and you will see the sinners fearful of its contents. And they will say, “Woe to us! What is with this book that leaves nothing, small or big, but it has enumerated it?” They will find everything they had done present. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.
      50. We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” So they bowed down, except for Satan. He was of the jinn, and he defied the command of his Lord. Will you take him and his offspring as lords instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.
      51. I did not call them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; and I do not take the misleaders for assistants.
      52. On the Day when He will say, “Call on My partners whom you have claimed.” They will call on them, but they will not answer them. And We will place between them a barrier.
      53. And the sinners will see the Fire, and will realize that they will tumble into it. They will find no deliverance from it.
      54. We have elaborated in this Quran for the people every kind of example, but the human being is a most argumentative being.
      55. What prevented people from accepting faith, when guidance has come to them, and from seeking their Lord’s forgiveness? Unless they are waiting for the precedent of the ancients to befall them, or to have the punishment come upon them face to face.
      56. We send the messengers only as deliverers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve argue with false argument, in order to defeat the truth thereby. They take My Verses, and the warnings, for a joke.
      57. Who does greater wrong than he, who, when reminded of his Lord’s revelations, turns away from them, and forgets what his hands have put forward? We have placed coverings over their hearts, lest they understand it, and heaviness in their ears. And if you call them to guidance, they will not be guided, ever.
      58. Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.
      59. And these towns-We destroyed them when they committed injustices, and We set for their destruction an appointed time.
      10. Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and used to ridicule them.
      11. God originates creation, and then repeats it. Then to Him you will be returned.
      12. On the Day when the Hour takes place, the guilty will despair.
      13. They will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will disown their partners.
      14. On the Day when the Hour takes place-on that Day they will separate.
      15. As for those who believed and did good deeds-they will be delighted in meadows.
      16. But as for those who disbelieved, and rejected Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter-those will be hauled into the torment.
      17. So glorify God when you retire at night, and when you rise in the morning.
      18. His is the praise in the heavens and on earth, and in the evening, and when you reach midday.
      19. He brings the living out of the dead, and He brings the dead out of the living, and He revives the land after it had died. Likewise you will be resurrected.
      20. And of His signs is that He created you from dust; and behold, you become humans spreading out.
      21. And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them; and He planted love and compassion between you. In this are signs for people who reflect.
      22. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are signs for those who know.
      23. And of His signs are your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. In this are signs for people who listen.
      24. And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand.
      25. And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once.
      26. To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. All are submissive to Him.
      27. It is He who initiates creation, and then repeats it, something easy for Him. His is the highest attribute, in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise.

      36. When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.
      37. Do they not see that God expands the provision for whomever He wills, or restricts it? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
      38. So give the relative his rights, and the destitute, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek God’s presence. Those are the prosperous.
      39. The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people’s wealth, will not multiply with God. But what you give in charity, desiring God’s approval-these are the multipliers.
      40. God is He who created you, then provides for you, then makes you die, then brings you back to life. Can any of your idols do any of that? Glorified is He, and Exalted above what they associate.
      41. Corruption has appeared on land and sea, because of what people’s hands have earned, in order to make them taste some of what they have done, so that they might return.
      42. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters.”
      43. So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from God a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.
      44. Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously-they are preparing for themselves.
      45. So that He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not love the ungrateful.

      Don’t think this is unique and be overwhelmed with shame…. Priests are celibate and have dealt with temptation. When I was in the Marines, my Chaplain (Fr Devine) was a Catholic priest and he said this was his top advised sin. Military life is strife with temptation and loneliness. Pick up books about it if you don’t want to ask for tips but remember.. the clergy are their to help you go to heaven , use them

      In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
      God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
      12. To Him belongs absolute control of the heavens and the earth. He spreads the bounties to whomever He wills, or reduces it. He is aware of all things.
      13. He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents.
      45. And cite for them the parable of the present life: it is like water that We send down from the sky; the plants of the earth absorb it; but then it becomes debris, scattered by the wind. God has absolute power over everything.
      46. Wealth and children are the adornments of the present life. But the things that last, the virtuous deeds, are better with your Lord for reward, and better for hope.
      47. On the Day when We set the mountains in motion; and you see the earth emerging; and We gather them together, and leave none of them behind.
      48. They will be presented before your Lord in a row. “You have come to Us as We created you the first time. Although you claimed We would not set a meeting for you.”
      49. And the book will be placed, and you will see the sinners fearful of its contents. And they will say, “Woe to us! What is with this book that leaves nothing, small or big, but it has enumerated it?” They will find everything they had done present. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.
      50. We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” So they bowed down, except for Satan. He was of the jinn, and he defied the command of his Lord. Will you take him and his offspring as lords instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.
      51. I did not call them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; and I do not take the misleaders for assistants.
      52. On the Day when He will say, “Call on My partners whom you have claimed.” They will call on them, but they will not answer them. And We will place between them a barrier.
      53. And the sinners will see the Fire, and will realize that they will tumble into it. They will find no deliverance from it.
      54. We have elaborated in this Quran for the people every kind of example, but the human being is a most argumentative being.
      55. What prevented people from accepting faith, when guidance has come to them, and from seeking their Lord’s forgiveness? Unless they are waiting for the precedent of the ancients to befall them, or to have the punishment come upon them face to face.
      56. We send the messengers only as deliverers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve argue with false argument, in order to defeat the truth thereby. They take My Verses, and the warnings, for a joke.
      57. Who does greater wrong than he, who, when reminded of his Lord’s revelations, turns away from them, and forgets what his hands have put forward? We have placed coverings over their hearts, lest they understand it, and heaviness in their ears. And if you call them to guidance, they will not be guided, ever.
      58. Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.
      59. And these towns-We destroyed them when they committed injustices, and We set for their destruction an appointed time.
      10. Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and used to ridicule them.
      11. God originates creation, and then repeats it. Then to Him you will be returned.
      12. On the Day when the Hour takes place, the guilty will despair.
      13. They will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will disown their partners.
      14. On the Day when the Hour takes place-on that Day they will separate.
      15. As for those who believed and did good deeds-they will be delighted in meadows.
      16. But as for those who disbelieved, and rejected Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter-those will be hauled into the torment.
      17. So glorify God when you retire at night, and when you rise in the morning.
      18. His is the praise in the heavens and on earth, and in the evening, and when you reach midday.
      19. He brings the living out of the dead, and He brings the dead out of the living, and He revives the land after it had died. Likewise you will be resurrected.
      20. And of His signs is that He created you from dust; and behold, you become humans spreading out.
      21. And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them; and He planted love and compassion between you. In this are signs for people who reflect.
      22. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are signs for those who know.
      23. And of His signs are your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. In this are signs for people who listen.
      24. And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand.
      25. And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once.
      26. To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. All are submissive to Him.
      27. It is He who initiates creation, and then repeats it, something easy for Him. His is the highest attribute, in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise.
      28. He illustrates an example for you, from your own selves: do you make your servants full partners in the wealth We have given you? Do you revere them as you revere one another? We thus explain the revelations for a people who understand.
      29. Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers.
      30. So devote yourself to the religion of monotheism-the natural instinct God has instilled in mankind. There is no altering God’s creation. This is the true religion, but most people do not know.
      31. Turning towards Him-and be conscious of Him, and perform the prayer, and do not be of the idolaters.
      32. Of those who divided their religion, and became sects; each faction pleased with what they have.
      33. When affliction touches the people, they call on their Lord, turning to Him in repentance. But then, when He gives them a taste of His mercy, some of them attribute partners to their Lord.
      34. To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Indulge yourselves-you will surely know.
      35. Have We sent down to them any authority, which speaks in support of their idols?
      36. When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.

      girls literally saved me. I would've committed suicide. There's no doubt in my mind. Had I not gotten the chance to have sex with girlfriends, I would've ended my life. I wish I could stop the curse. You ladies got blamed for everything, and no wonder some of you went insane.

      In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
      God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
      12. To Him belongs absolute control of the heavens and the earth. He spreads the bounties to whomever He wills, or reduces it. He is aware of all things.
      13. He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents.
      45. And cite for them the parable of the present life: it is like water that We send down from the sky; the plants of the earth absorb it; but then it becomes debris, scattered by the wind. God has absolute power over everything.
      46. Wealth and children are the adornments of the present life. But the things that last, the virtuous deeds, are better with your Lord for reward, and better for hope.
      47. On the Day when We set the mountains in motion; and you see the earth emerging; and We gather them together, and leave none of them behind.
      48. They will be presented before your Lord in a row. “You have come to Us as We created you the first time. Although you claimed We would not set a meeting for you.”
      49. And the book will be placed, and you will see the sinners fearful of its contents. And they will say, “Woe to us! What is with this book that leaves nothing, small or big, but it has enumerated it?” They will find everything they had done present. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.
      50. We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” So they bowed down, except for Satan. He was of the jinn, and he defied the command of his Lord. Will you take him and his offspring as lords instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.
      51. I did not call them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; and I do not take the misleaders for assistants.
      52. On the Day when He will say, “Call on My partners whom you have claimed.” They will call on them, but they will not answer them. And We will place between them a barrier.
      53. And the sinners will see the Fire, and will realize that they will tumble into it. They will find no deliverance from it.
      54. We have elaborated in this Quran for the people every kind of example, but the human being is a most argumentative being.
      55. What prevented people from accepting faith, when guidance has come to them, and from seeking their Lord’s forgiveness? Unless they are waiting for the precedent of the ancients to befall them, or to have the punishment come upon them face to face.
      56. We send the messengers only as deliverers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve argue with false argument, in order to defeat the truth thereby. They take My Verses, and the warnings, for a joke.
      57. Who does greater wrong than he, who, when reminded of his Lord’s revelations, turns away from them, and forgets what his hands have put forward? We have placed coverings over their hearts, lest they understand it, and heaviness in their ears. And if you call them to guidance, they will not be guided, ever.
      58. Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.
      59. And these towns-We destroyed them when they committed injustices, and We set for their destruction an appointed time.
      10. Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and used to ridicule them.
      11. God originates creation, and then repeats it. Then to Him you will be returned.
      12. On the Day when the Hour takes place, the guilty will despair.
      13. They will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will disown their partners.
      14. On the Day when the Hour takes place-on that Day they will separate.
      15. As for those who believed and did good deeds-they will be delighted in meadows.
      16. But as for those who disbelieved, and rejected Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter-those will be hauled into the torment.
      17. So glorify God when you retire at night, and when you rise in the morning.
      18. His is the praise in the heavens and on earth, and in the evening, and when you reach midday.
      19. He brings the living out of the dead, and He brings the dead out of the living, and He revives the land after it had died. Likewise you will be resurrected.
      20. And of His signs is that He created you from dust; and behold, you become humans spreading out.
      21. And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them; and He planted love and compassion between you. In this are signs for people who reflect.
      22. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are signs for those who know.
      23. And of His signs are your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. In this are signs for people who listen.
      24. And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand.
      25. And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once.
      26. To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. All are submissive to Him.
      27. It is He who initiates creation, and then repeats it, something easy for Him. His is the highest attribute, in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise.
      28. He illustrates an example for you, from your own selves: do you make your servants full partners in the wealth We have given you? Do you revere them as you revere one another? We thus explain the revelations for a people who understand.
      29. Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers.
      30. So devote yourself to the religion of monotheism-the natural instinct God has instilled in mankind. There is no altering God’s creation. This is the true religion, but most people do not know.
      31. Turning towards Him-and be conscious of Him, and perform the prayer, and do not be of the idolaters.
      32. Of those who divided their religion, and became sects; each faction pleased with what they have.
      33. When affliction touches the people, they call on their Lord, turning to Him in repentance. But then, when He gives them a taste of His mercy, some of them attribute partners to their Lord.
      34. To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Indulge yourselves-you will surely know.
      35. Have We sent down to them any authority, which speaks in support of their idols?
      36. When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.
      37. Do they not see that God expands the provision for whomever He wills, or restricts it? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
      38. So give the relative his rights, and the destitute, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek God’s presence. Those are the prosperous.
      39. The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people’s wealth, will not multiply with God. But what you give in charity, desiring God’s approval-these are the multipliers.
      40. God is He who created you, then provides for you, then makes you die, then brings you back to life. Can any of your idols do any of that? Glorified is He, and Exalted above what they associate.
      41. Corruption has appeared on land and sea, because of what people’s hands have earned, in order to make them taste some of what they have done, so that they might return.
      42. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters.”
      43. So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from God a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.
      44. Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously-they are preparing for themselves.
      45. So that He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not love the ungrateful.

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

In Christianity even asking preachers and stuff, I've been told by them yes that masturbation is healthy and allowed as long as it is not an addiction. I ask God to give me the strength to drop this urge and live the way he wants me to. I want to be free from it. Amen.

We, even though some of us are saved and delivered, we STILL have to deal with attacks on the flesh,mind, and heart. We have to keep praying. Just think, the more you delay Gratification, the better and more fulfilling your sex life will be when you have a real spouse sent by God. Way more fulfilling than anything our hand alone can do or make us feel. With God's help fighting temptation and knowing that one day on his time he will give me someone who I can share this with keeps me going.

    Here is a spiritual secret to how to overcome this self-pleasuring habit. I know this may sound controversial... But please read on. Masturbation is clearly a natural act and is very pleasurable. So what can be wrong with it? Well, it is a sexual act OUTSIDE the marriage! And that is why this is a sin and satan can attack you with guilt and shame. He has a 'legal right' to laugh at you and to attack you. So what is to be done to overcome this guilt and shame. You overcome it with your faith. Please read on. Next time you are tempted into this habit and about to reach the climactic pleasure point, I want you to speak out and declare in faith, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ". Say it loud and watch Satan have a nervous breakdown. This is how you overcome Satan by the blood of Christ ( forgiveness ) and your faith-filled words of testimony. He will not be able to attack you with shame and guilt. You have just hit him back and took away his power. Please remember this and give it a try next time you are tempted. Good luck and God bless you.

      God cares about purity of heart most certainly, so there is sin when that along with self-control in one's thoughts and actions are lacking (Matthew 5:8, James 4:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). It will help to pray right when you are being tempted and believe that God will deliver you from the temptation.

    Basically these things are demonic, it is not just a habit or an addiction. The demons whisper to you at specific times and they will get you do what you would not actually want to do. As people get to know God, it is advisable they stay "under the water" by this i mean that the word of God is like a tap of running water, and as long as you stay under you will be cleansed. As you hear the word you need to obey the word of God, the strategy needed to win is obedience.
