Feeling guilty leads me to porn

For Fapstronauts who are disciples of Christ

  1. Hello all,

    I would like to share something about myself to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

    When I am on abstinence mode, the slightest hint of pornography or any explicit or sexual image in a game or video makes me guilty because I can feel it in my heart that I want it and that I would love to satisfy the urge.

    The guilt feeling piles up until one day, I feel its inevitable to fall because I got to the point where I feel that I must be a very bad person, that is when I probably give in and watch P to my heart's content.

    Any advise would really be helpful, because I am 7 day in and the guilt feeling is starting to creep up on me.

    Same here bro. Hate it. The best advice is don’t look at yourself, look at Christ and what He’s done in us including taking our shame and guilt away. Guilt not only hides out of fear but hides the sin, creating risk of relapse

  3. If you are in Christ, there is no condemnation on you. Why believe the lie of guilt which says you are a bad person? Don't you know who you are in Christ?

    Dwell on the Truth and not on lies. And then ask, Why do you keep the desire for P alive within you? Why do you maintain that flame, knowing that it will only burn you up from within? What provision do you not trust God for and think you must go to PMO to have satisfied? Why do you think this?

  4. Thanks alot Tao for the link :), God bless you, I am in Christ, I love and trust him with all my heart, that is why I feel guilty, from one side I want to prevent myself from looking to be closer to him and enjoy being near him in the light, and the other side is trying to make me look, my eye widens with any hint of exotic images and unfortunately its all around, I hate it but sometimes its just too hard not to look. its hard not to notice, with every time I notice and look, the guilt becomes unbearable, then I feel like I cannot forgive myself for looking that I might as well go all way.

    this is the first time I am exposing my thoughts like this publicly (if this can be called publicly xD but I am thankful that this forum exist), only my father of confession know all about it, I am saying what I am feeling even though I theoretically know how to deal with it (by knowing that my nature is indeed weak but instead of trying to fight it alone and fail, I should go to God for protection every time I am tempted). May God help me and everyone here overcome the temptations, I should fight the urges with everything I have got. by time I know the fight becomes easier.

  5. You are in him and he is in you. That is the truth. Your actions may make you feel far from him, but that is not reality. Reality is his promise in Scripture never to leave you. Rest in that truth.

    It is hard not to look at sensual imagery because you have trained yourself to do so. You can learn a different way. It will take time and consistent practice, but it is possible. A year from now, you could have an entirely different story to tell. Learn to bounce your eyes away from any unhelpful image, learn to safeguard your heart and mind by dwelling on the truth of Christ and not the lies all around you, get committed to regular interaction with a small group of trusted APs.

    You have all you need to move into victory. Jesus has unlocked the prison doors. Will you walk through them into freedom? I am praying for you and cheering you on!
