Many Christians are secretly addicted to porn & masturbation. The wider world has pretty much stopped trying to resist porn and masturbation.
There’s no point me pontificating about how bad it is. Here are real world testimonies explaining the damaging effects of porn upon women.
Here is God’s point of view on porn and masturbation:
Matthew 5:28 King James Version (KJV)
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
If you’re looking at porn, you’re committing adultery. When you masturbate, you’re defiling your body:
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 King James Version (KJV)
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Why are you defiling your body when you masturbate? Because you are fornicating with the woman that is in your head when you masturbate. There are some of you who will argue that you can masturbate without thinking of a woman, man or animal. Well, even if you can do so you are probably defiling the temple of the Holy Spirit. Personally, I don’t believe you should masturbate because it leads to temptation and back to the cycle of porn and masturbation.
On to the practical aspect: There are four basic steps to overcoming porn and masturbation in your life. I’m setting these out because I noticed a lot of Christians trying to resist the devil with their own strength. Bad mistake.
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 King James Version (KJV)
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
The below steps will show you exactly how to pull down strong holds:
hi, I’m trying to avoid porn and masturbation and even when I succeed for months, sometimes I can wake up because I feel orgasm. Mostly it doesn’t even have a connection with some erotic dream. What should I do? Praying every night, proclaiming god’s protection but still. Also have some health issues with the reproductive area so that might be demons too?
Dear Alexia, the sin has grown inside until it’s taking control (see Romans 7:14-20).
Expel in the name of Jesus then see the story of Amnon and Tamar in 2 Samuel 13. I think of all men and women as children of God to be protected by us.
The other thing that helped me was this Proverb. Proverbs 11:21-22
Easy-to-Read Version
21 The truth is, evil people will be punished, and good people will be set free.
22 A beautiful woman without good sense is like a gold ring in a pig’s nose.

Hello Thomas.
Acknowledging this is the first and great step.
But you would confess this to Jesus in the simplest prayer ever.
Lord Jesus
I am a sinner
Come into my life
I acknowledge that you died and rose from the dead to save me.
I confess you as my Lord and personal Saviour
Thank you for saving me.

Now you are saved. Believing this, Look for a Bible believing church close to you and build up your faith, for faith comes by hearing the word of God.
