Sexual addiction, also sometimes called sexual compulsion, is a form of psychological addiction to sexual intercourse and other sexual behavior.
Hello all
I am new to this, i haven't ever discussed something like this online. I have read alot of posts and discussions and everything i read sounds just like mine.
Although i am new to this place, i am not new to this disease. I can't really remember how it started, i just know I've been dealing with this a long time. I didn't realize that i was addicted for a long time. i thought this is just what guys do. I started to see that i was really addicted when i started looking at bad porn sites. i look back to when i was in a relationship and it wasn't enough. I even had to have nude pics on my phone to look at when i was at work. I am just so tired of dealing with this. I tell myself every day you will break free, but by the end of the week I'm back at it and by then i want to do it. I ask myself how can i even ask God to forgive me when i keep doing this. I just really want to be set free. Theres alot more for me to say but i will another time
just saw a reply you left for another woman and I want to say that I felt so much shame I felt like I couldn’t approach God. If I felt connected to God one day and then viewed porn it took days to get over it before I felt like I could pray again. Keep this in mind, Jesus was tempted by everything we’re tempted by. Yep. Jesus has seen it all so he is the perfect person to go to when you feel like crap. He wants to remind us at all times we are his children. He loves you like you’re his only daughter. And you can come to him and say sorry, and we should, but we leave the guilt and shame for Him to bury. Nothing can separate you from his love. He is never disappointed with you. He might not like what we do sometimes . he placed in you his perfect and holy heart when you said yes to him. He’s coming for you because of that. Not your perfect behavior because he already knows we will blow it. He loves you. Madly!!! And he is proud of you. Our bodies suck. We will not have them in heaven. Our flesh can sin but God’s Holy Spirit is in you. If the Holy Spirit wasn’t in you , you wouldn’t have a problem consuming porn. It is possible to backslide and not lose that momentum with God. We might feel horrible but Jesus does not want us to linger in that. Take that shame to him, put it at his feet, and pray a prayer of gratitude. Always look to him. He is always holding out his hand for you. Listen to some Christian music throughout the day. It is positive and uplifting. You’re awesome. Don’t give up.
