christianity

For context, I am Christian. I was in a conversation about faith and mental health, and I was asked specifically how renewing my faith assisted in my mental health (struggle with depression and anxiety). I did some reflecting and wrote a lot and thought I would share it here: I had been...

It is said, by the teachers of old, that one way towards objective morality is through the experiencing of remorse of conscience. In order to tell right from wrong, in an objective sense, one must follow their conscience. "Know thyself" is a familiar phrase that strikes a chord with this...

Hello all, I just created an account. I have been on this website a few times in the past, finally decided to sign up. I've been fighting my own battle with PMO. I am a catechumen studying Catholicism. I feel much stronger now with God. Hope to let my thoughts be known and make some...

Hello dear people. I want to share my testimony of how God delivered me from a pornography addiction. I first discovered pornography when I was 14/15 years old. My sexuality began to emerge, and I didn't know how to deal with it. No one had told me what to do, so I started to masturbate to...

Many of us fall into the trap of believing we have to "get right with God" first before he can save us. Escaping our porn addiction completely is impossible to do alone. No matter how guilty you may feel, know that God is greater than your feelings and the door to Jesus is not shut on you no...

Hey Everyone, I found this research paper today while browsing Google Scholar. To my understanding, the authors of this research paper are claiming that all the current porn and sex addiction "models" (descriptions for identifying mental disorders) don't really meet the requirements for an...

Hi everyone, my name's Matthew. I'm a 22 year old from Scotland who has been battling porn addiction for the past 3 years. I'm really pleased to say that I've made it to a new personal best, 35 days. I just wanted to thank you all for being so supportive, it's great to know I'm not the only one...

I don't know where to look for the anwers or who to ask. I have been taught christian values from a young age and I have always believed in God. However now I'm in cross-roads. I don't know if I believe in God or not. This drains my energy. Science has some good points and it's logical. Also...

So a recent study shows. While Conservative Christians are less likely to look at porn, those who do experience greater levels of guilt and shame, are more likely to carry out their behaviors in secret. It can also lead them to remove themselves from church, doubt their faith and have a higher...

Hello everybody. I am an aspiring Orthodox Christian, awaiting the day that I may be baptized into the Holy Church. The greatest sin in my life, and the source of my mental anguish and spiritual struggle, has been addiction to pornography and masturbation. I became hooked on it when I was a...

So basically my wife, who I've known since I was 15 and means everything to me, left me last year because I was a drug addict (among other issues). I have reason to believe she isn't interested in dating other men and it's likely she won't divorce me. I have every intention of getting her back...

I`ve been joined in class of Christianity. Learning things like ancient Rabbis, Book of Talmud. So in that lineup, today I`ve come to know and learn about perception of Christians and Jews regarding concept of Hell and Heaven According to the Rabbis: Heaven is also called as Paradise, Eden of...

Hello fellow Fapstronaut! My name is Sam, as you can see below my avatar (hopefully it's updated by now to the cool quote I found, I really would like that to be there as it's inspiring and actually really weird that I found it...) and I am doing something rare on here for me: Although I am...

I am wondering if religion, specifically Christianity, is/has been beneficial to me and my PMO recovery or not. I was raised as a Christian, my immediate family and extended family are devout Christians. My brother has been more involved in going to church it seems. My uncle out of nowhere...

I am Catholic, i think i found religious groups on nofap and i would like to be part of the Catholic/Christian group but can't find groups I would like to talk with some fellow Catholics/Christians

Hello everyone, I've browsed the forums for some time now and just today decided to join the community! Here's the deal: I've been absolutely P free for about 2 months now after a gradual process of reducing the quantity and "quality" I consumed during 2017 and although the temptation and...

Hi guys.I'm Luca and i'm trying to stop masturabating.Since i am a christian it is considered a sin and at the same time it is making me feel miserable.I've been trying for a long time and i reached the point where i can stay 5-6 days without it.Help.

Hello NoFap, I just joined the platform and am hoping that this place has something to help me get rid of this addiction. I am a deeply Christian 17 year old man(as you hopefully can tell by my name) and I see pornography and lust as sinful things. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me...

I've been trying nofap for 3 years. My record streak is 21 days, my average is probably about 5 days. I've come a long way from where I was before nofap, which was PMO multiple times every day. That went on for over 20 years before starting nofap, so there is a lot to rewire and my progress is...

What I am trying to say in this post, is that how religion and sense of morality affect us in our nofap quest? Is porn and masturbation immoral? It is definitely according to many religions. But what about the atheists and non-believers. What would be their take on this? I have noticed that...

Hello, NoFap! So far, at this moment in time, I am currently in Day 3 of my abstinence from PMO. What got me through is something unexpected, and never thought would occur: my family's maltese poodle Bo. (Ironic since I was originally scared of any kinds of dogs and was diagnosed by my...

I'm 22 years old and I am committed to abstaining from sex until marriage, I don't have problems with girls its just hard to find ones that suit my standards. Anyhow I am basically stuck in a situation where I have to avoid masturbation in order to be productive enough to realize my life goals...

Greetings everyone, I am a 19 year old male and started my addiction to porn and masturbation at a young age. I never thought much of it, it was a normal day to day activity. Unfortunately I always dismissed my sleeping problems I have when I don't masturbate. I've recently become a Christian...

I remember once hearing this pastor say, Don't tell me what you believe, show me how you live. Because how you live shows me what you truly believe. Lately I've been listening to the Irish philosopher Peter Rollins. I find what he has to say on Christianity, atheism, social media, identity and...

Hi NoFap community my name Angel and im 17 years old. And Im on day one of NoFap. I am a catholic christian. I've been struggling with porn since the age of 12. And I feel sad and hollow most of the times. I feel as if im a socialpath, I know Im not since I have feelings and all but...

Here's the Christian version of this tread. I'll give my answers later. To the non Christians I ask you to not turn this into a Christian bashing thread. This a place for us learn from Christians. The Muslim thread is here...

I started last week with NoFap, and could make it until the 5th day...then I fell. The days before was it not to hard for me with the no MPO, I thought I will make it the 30 days... but then something inside said... you deserve to do it..and i fell The day's after I fell again... But now I...

I have been into NOFAP for 17 days, and I saw these changes in myself - 1) Morning wood came back almost every morning. 2) When I edge just to see what the progress is - I get really hard erection but I have to stimulate my penis with my hand to get an erection. My questions is - 1. Are...

Hey guys, So, as my username suggests, my name is Eric. I have to be honest about something though. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a Jedi. I wanted to confess that and get it off of my chest. The truth is I'm a Star Trek fan. Anyways, I found you guys through someone's comment on a...

Hello fellow frequent fappers (and former fappers). First of all, I just wanted to say thank you guys for being an awesome community. I've been browsing these forums and the subreddit for a while now, and I've discovered a wealth of helpful information and genuine encouragement. Hard to come buy...
