I struggled with this for more than half my life. I never told anyone except a priest in confession and early this year I just got tired of being a slave to it. I decided to pray the Rosary more often and that "more often" soon turned into everyday. It's been almost a year since caving to this sin and I have no desire or intentions to ever cave to it again. The Rosary is the key!
The rosary is a very powerful weapon against lust, and I’m glad you managed to break that vice! The rosary has definitely helped me in my fight against lust by helping break my own sinful habits. We must prayer the rosary for others and our culture in general that we may discover the true meaning of the gift of sexuality, and love as Christ loves
Amen Mary! Well done!
It is true I do experience it
Very well said! Every bit of purity I fought for prior to my marriage was more than worth it when I married my wife. Over 12 years of marriage later and I still benefit daily from my heart being more fully hers due to less detachment from my sinful past. Temptation is still a real thing (that isn't gone until we are dead) but choosing purity gets easier as you keep choosing it. Married love is absolutely terrific!
Congrats, man! Hoping I can be like you one day!
@@dragonfruit6532 Stay close to Jesus! One step at a time. Been over 13 years now and better than ever!
It’s definitely a struggle, but that shotgun analogy might be one of the best I’ve heard. 😂 It’s true! Strong desire must overcome weaker desires.
“Addiction should not be defined as the frequency with which you need to indulge in your compulsions” YESSS TELL EM
It's a dumb way of defining "addiction". By that definition, eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. are "addictions".
Some people are addicted to religion. I'd say that's worse than masturbation.
This does not happen to me, but I have read many comments like this. People are so into masturbation. I read masturbation is healthy, but if you get totally uncomfortable, try to change a hobby. Maybe if you are laying down, come to the floor and start getting distracted with some exercises like sit ups or push ups. Do some jumping jacks. Try to get away but forgetting what is going on with you. One of the special things we have is prayer. Pray a holy rosary by saying a decade of the rosary. Trust me. You can do it.
You’re basically asking teen boys to become manic. Lol.
I have never masturbated before and sometimes I think to myself does that make me an outcast of being a guy. I question myself I’m I supposed to do it???Watching these videos help me a lot of growing in my knowledge and faith.
In no way am I discouraging you, keep it up if that’s important to you… but yes, you would be a huge outlier. Like, I’d be surprised to learn of virtually anyone who lived a full lifetime (without any relevant health defect) and did not stimulate themselves
I do struggle for it, and trying everyday to be free from it.
Masturbation is not a sin.
Not trying to lead anyone “astray” or to particular conclusions, just posting a concern…
It feels like these explanations are always working backwards from a very outdated teaching. Nobody would naturally come up with these arguments and conclusions, we use them to justify beliefs that are just not true at all to our life experience. Masturbation feels like a perfectly healthy outlet for our desires… emotionally, physically and even spiritually, it is neutral at worst. There is virtually no harm whatsoever, especially if you avoid pornography (which at least comes from a harmful industry).
I’m just not sure I buy that there’s anything edifying about refraining from these natural urges, and I simply cannot understand how acting on these urges is actively immoral.
It's not immoral. The problem is many religions program people to HATE human sexuality and the body. THAT is what causes people to have guilt/shame over their body/sexuality. It leads to all sorts of neurotic thinking and unnatural/unhealthy attitudes towards the body and sexuality. And religions aren't above propagating outright lies if they think it will curb sexuality.
I completely agree.
I get it. The light innocence and clarity we were born with need to be preserved because God has a beautiful plan.
Wow! I’ve read a few blogs on this subject and the comments are all over the place. Most of the comments say that if your religion says masterbation is a sin then just switch religions. 😒
Or, drop religion altogether. That's the best choice.
of course is bad .... we as human beings become addicted to any kind of pleasure
This is the same argument the Catholic Church has made regarding masturbation however they've backed it up by using draconian language when assigning moral responsibility concerning this very normal human activity. See the Catechism of the Catholic Church wherein it is spelled out even to the extent of claiming even one incident of masturbation can relegate the soul of the person to hell for all eternity. However they go to great lengths in spelling out those things that may influence the practitioner to lessen the moral responsibility to the point that it may even disappear all together. Is every incident of masturbation accompanied as always by fantasy somewhat sinful? Probably but only mildly so. What good does it do to load Catholics with guilt about a practice that is virtually never all that sinful?
The problem here is that you're not taking into account what the natural law tells us. Masturbation leads to other things. Why do You think the fathers of the sexual revolution became so fixated on it?
You're basing your opinion on your own feelings, even though I agree that shame or mere fear is not a solution. Lusting is a form of adultery. Thankfully we can be forgiven, but let's not say that it's not sinful or mild. In extreme situations it will ruin an individual and their ability to form healthy relations with the opposite sex. And even in mild forms it distorts our view of sex, consent and marriage.
But, it should be exercised though conviction and a desire to turn away from sin. That's what happened to me, and I thank God for unexpectedly freeing me from a 10 year long addiction.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

@@arkansas99 Nonsense. None of us would be here if it wasn't for lust. If your parents didn't experience lust you would not be here. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with lust and to conflate it with adultery is pure nonsense
@@TDL-xg5nn Indeed. "Lust" is nothing more than another term for "sexual desire". Humans "lust" whether they're married or single. There is no difference in the desire a man feels for his wife and the desire a single guy feels towards his girlfriend or even some random woman.
@@mesichikitochikitochikito1128 'Natural Law" is something the church just made up. The fact is, that all other male primates engage in both masturbation AND homosexual activity. It is nonsensical to say that either of those are against "natural law".
It's unfortunate that anyone (yourself included) believes this stuff. Very sad. Masturbation isn't the problem. Masturbation is a normal part of life. Masturbation doesn't ruin relationships. Focus upon the real issues that people face rather than to tell them that normal, natural things are bad or a sign of some inner failing. It's simply not accurate. Not only is this stuff untrue, semen retention is dysfunctional and causes health issues. Stop guilting people because you're unhappy. Treat everyone with kindness and stop telling them what you think that they should do. I hope that you, one day, realize just how many dysfunctional and nonsense issues you're creating for other people.
Complete nonsense. Catholicism leads to a truly warped mentality. Hatred of one's body and sexuality is sad and disturbed.
I think it is natural and healthy. According to the Church, it is a sin. Based on their reasoning for it being a sin, I'm confused now as to whether or not I need to confess having a bowel movement.
People who say it's a sin are fuddy duddies.
100% bad.
According to medical science, it is natural and healthy.
according to the power agenda of sin and loosing soul salvations.... my breakdwon here: if you can't domain yourself on this how would you with other things?
Nope. That's not according to "science", it's according to a "particular and very specific, hedonistic and materialistic interpretation of science which I like the most because it prevents me from having to fulfill or live up to a moral standard".
Orgasm is good for our health and building intimacy with our partner, but that doesn't mean that sleeping around is healthy. Neither is masturbation. It distorts more than it attributes to the table.
@@mesichikitochikitochikito1128 Nonsense.
@@mesichikitochikitochikito1128 No, according to actual science there is nothing harmful about masturbation.
According to warped, agenda-laden religious distortions of science... there is something wrong with it.
Self mastery.
There are a lot of other ways to do that. Semen retention can cause cancer of the prostate and testicles. Look it up.
