First of all, hello everyone.

I wanted to tell you guys something that is important, it's about the harms of masturbation and pornography on the brain and body.

Contemporary doctors and psychologists usually say it's healthy...let me just tell you this : they DO NOT know what they are talking about, they simply don't have the perspective of a porn addict. Porn viewing is linked to less grey matter in the brain, check the latest research.

Quitting masturbation and pornography has been the best thing I've done for myself in the last few years. Most people don't realize how harmful it can be.
I personally can't believe how much time I wasted on these things.

Here are some of the benefits of abstaining from both masturbation and porn for a few weeks :
- Feelings of well-being. Being calmer. Easier to laugh, less anger.
- Feeling MORE pleasure from everyday activities, this benefit is amazing. :D
- More creativity. The sense of humor comes back.
- Better memory. Better ability to concentrate.
- More natural confidence, less social anxiety.
- Easier to give up other addictions (smoking, too much caffeine, gaming, thinking about someone of the opposite sex).
- More motivation to do important things.
- Music becomes more pleasurable. In fact, music tastes could even change.
- Less sleep is needed.
- Easier to talk, less stutter.
- Being able to remember dreams.
- Less sexual problems, better erections.
- Feeling emotions more strongly, like love for example.
- Emotionally more resilient.
- The skin will look younger, less acne.
- More physical strength.
- A deeper voice.
- A stronger immune system.
- Much more attracted to the opposite sex (in a good way).
- More interested in the little things.

Note : Most people who quit get these benefits, but some need more time to be cured.
Note 2 : Beware the withdrawal symptoms in the first few days (irritability, loss of motivation. crying...)

Here are lots of testimonials of people who quit (imo a MUST-READ) : http://www.reuniting.info/download/pdf/0.BENEFITS.pdf

Mate this is an awesome post and a massive problem.
This is one of the single biggest problems plaguing Christian males and some females today and it is the cause of a lot of fear and self loathing.
Its a self defeating pattern and it holds us back from really opening ourselves up to all the Lord has for us.
God said to Cain[SIZE=11pt] "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." ([/SIZE]Genesis 4:7)
But we need not be ashamed because we are not alone in the struggle,
1 Peter 5:9
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

good on ya mate!

My Home Fellowship leader has an awesome testimony concerning this ... he was so addicted to porn that he couldn't even make love to
his wife without watching it or have some live streaming cam audience watching him.
Praise God he is free from this.
Because of his boldness and openness his testimony has freed a lot of men and opened the way for them to get rid of their guilt
and deal with the issue.
To hide this kind of thing away and label it taboo is the worst thing the Church can do.
It is so prevalent in our society today and the Church needs to have the answer to this.

I applaud your openness and boldness and wish you well on your journey in Christ.
May God truly bless you brother.

Oh and I forgot, Your eyesight will get better too and your palms wont be so hairy! :lol:
This requires more than a simple LOL...so I'm taking it up a few levels even though some will see it as a serious breach of etiquette -
BWAHAHAHAHAAAA! Oh, whew! That feels better.

Seriously though, pornography is one of satan's greatest weapons. How may good men and women have been ruined because of what really amounts to looking at pictures of the human body naked.
Why are we, as a society, so massively invested in this? It really is astounding that we, as a race, could become so addicted with our anatomy? This poison gets straight to the spirit and corrupts even the strongest of us.

Another disturbing aspect of this curse, is how our nations = North America and Europe mostly, have accepted and embraced it!
The internet is also one of satan's greatest weapons. It can do so much good, and yet as so many other things we enjoy today, it can be destructive as well. Children for the first time, have open, and easy access to porn. As a result, children are engaging in sexual sin, so young, and it breaks my heart, because even our school systems are providing very disturbing sexual "educational" content to kids, starting as early in some areas, as kindergarten!! And there has hardly been a peep from the general populace! The Christians who even bother to protest, are in such a minority, that they are very easily brushed aside and made useless!

If we even try to get our children exempted from the classes which teach all manner of sexual behavior, disguised under the false flag of "tolerance" we are threatened by the local children's aid society, that we will lose our own kids!! What!?? They actually threaten to put our children in foster homes, if we try and take our own children out of these satanic classes!!

This subject goes so much deeper than most even know. I may actually start a thread and expose the entire rotten, evil plan, which goes back to the beginning of the women's liberation movement.
Of course I'm not against the liberation of women, or any other suppressed people. But there was, and continues to be extremely powerful, evil institutions behind these so called "liberations" and these evil people use such hot button issues to further their own satanic purposes. You would all be sick if you knew the truth behind all of this.

Hello all. Sorry I have not been here to answer.

Please share this !

Masturbation is a real mystery, having an orgasm with one's hand is DAMAGING.

The "friendzone" is usually caused by masturbation. Masturbation sometimes attracts bullying. Porn will destroy your soul. Here are many testimonials about the GREAT benefits of quitting porn and masturbation, this is a MUST-READ : http://www.filedropper.com/0benefits

Low spiritual vibrations = depression, loving metal music, porn, piercings, tatoos, low quality sex, violent behavior when stressed, taking naked selfies, feeling the need to insult others, drugs etc...

Being on the lower spiritual plane is like having major myopia, you do not "see", you cannot see the "real beauty" of the world, the faces of women, art, "higher" music for instance.

Remember how much happier you were when you were a kid? Small things delighted you, everybody loved you, you were happy from the moment you woke up to the moment you went to sleep.

Chronic masturbators usually attract people of the same spiritual plane, everywhere, even on the internet, vidéo games...

Metal music, g-strings, pornography, the fact that women dress in a bad way, tatoos, piercings (except the earrings), vulgar swear words, the impression that time passes "too quickly", the disappearance of true intellect and even the way people walk (no or little grace in movements), is I think, and I am not sure at all, the results of people's sins today, especially Usury and Fornication! wa Allahu a3lam.

I believe that just not speaking against usury can plunge one into grave sin.

Avoiding sins, doing many good deeds like helping others and giving charity will AWAKEN a human being SPIRITUALLY, you won't stand to see things like nudity or hear bad music anymore. And your brain will feel new, wonderful things. Even your food and music taste will change. You will meet new like-minded people. And your words will have much more impact than usual (even on the internet). You will attract better people easily. Your face will be brighter than usual. You will become much smarter.

If you keep on doing tons of good deeds while avoiding sins, you will need much less sleep, eat a lot less yet have immense energy, be a lot more courageous and resilient, you will feel great! Your spiritual energy will be so high that you will attract great friends and wealth without much effort. Strangers will smile at you for no reason, small children will come to you in a trusting way, animals will approach you.

Purify your soul, for you shall feel love everlasting.

Have a nice day.
