iamphenomenal:
As always, I return all glory to God. Today marks four years I buried the addiction of pornography and masturbation, which had plagued my life for many years.

All my journey and challenges, as well as my past success stories are recorded here on Nairaland, on the great platform where I met fellow fighters facing the same struggle - Masturbation Quitting Challenge Thread
https://www.nairaland.com/5223408/masturbation-quitting-challenge-thread

Note: As I've always emphasized, I didn't replace this addiction with fornication (as many people propose as a solution). All through my recovery process till now I've never engaged in sex, as I'm not yet married. Glory to God!

This testimony is to encourage anyone struggling with the same (or any other addiction) that total victory is possible. Trust in God. Engage in accountability. Don't give up!

Till next year. God spare my life.

Long live Nairaland!

Congratulations...even as a married man I still masturbate and it doesn't affect my performance..but it should be done with moderation and don't be to rough on yourself.

Not any easy feat in this smartphone era.
Kuddos!
Na man you be

Congrats. That masturbation is the hardest addiction to overcome. U can overcome any addiction but u see masturbation. Porn is not the architect of overcommibg masturbation actually, the real problem is the brain and thought. If u can cleanse your brain of every sexual memory u have encountered in your past and occupy your thoughts with a lot of other stuffs that has no relationship with anything sexual, u are 80% out of that curse called masturbation u can even watch porn a million times without masturbating if your thoughts and brain is not fixed at sex.vwhen I watch porn, I never masturbate over it but when my brain takes me to my sexual memories, nothing stops me from masturbatimg,, prayer does not even work in this case honestly, just try and engage yourself with things that occupies your mind and make sure u exhausted of it so u don't have to allow your brain think about sexual stuffs. Brain is the most powerful tool of the human body and system. You can be with a naked woman but when your brain sets in about your past escapades , u would prefer to masturbate than to lay with the naked woman in front of you. May God deliver us all from this curse called maaturbation..

Addiction to tramadol is hardest to quit

Congratulations...but...

let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

1 Corinthians 10 v12.

Be very careful with your flesh.

I'll rather you celebrate 4 years of being a positive influence in people's life. Helping the needy and the poor amongst you.

Not masturbating or viewing porn, does not make you a better person and they're obviously not a requirement for making heaven.

Only love for your neighbour is a requirement for heaven. Focus on the more important thing and don't celebrate mediocrity

How many of these hypocrites love their neighbors?

You should be celebrating four years of victory over things that could harm your health, not these two things. Masturbation helps keep your OKO or OBO in shape, while porn stimulates blood flow to it. Now, can you see that these two things aren't as evil as your pastors may have led you to believe?

AmalaAtiEwedu:



These below celebrate with you too..

Just google Mia khalifa and Mini stallion and masturbate one last time.

Someone is celebrating an accomplishment that takes others years to achieve, you're doing everything in your power to make him backslide. Don't allow the devil to use you.

But you fornicate Abi?

Don't even go there. U can be rehabilitated but not with masturbation. I did trams in school and I stopped after graduation and mind u I was addicted to it. I was an addicted gambler too and I stopped all of that but u see masturbation. Whenever I stop masturbation for a while due to work load and a lot of engagement and I wanna relax, boom it comes to mind again no stopping it. It's really crazy bro.

Congrats. May you forever go forward and be a witness that it's possible.

Please keep on God's word daily. His word continually in your heart means there will be no place for darkness. Keep on with prayers and gathering with the family of believers.

I had a terrible run with sexual sins, even beyond pornography and masturbation, but the Lord saved me and more than 2years I have not looked back.

God bless

It has taken this long because he dosent wanna stop trust me. I'm talking of a situation were u would want to stop but yet u can't Bro masturbation is on a different addiction level. All this guys celebrating freedom from masturbation, I just laugh, when the brain strikes, they will definitely go back to it but I don't pray for it. They should be celebrating years of been extremely busy.

I understand. If anyone must quit masturbation, they must keep off Social media first and never live alone, must get busy and avoid isolation

I dont understand all these o...
Africans and mystification of everything.
Masturbation is not bad and unhealthy excess done in excess. Of course too much of everything is bad.
Masturbation should be done as it appeals to your conscience. If your conscience feels you should avoid it then why not. But if it doesn't my dear pleasure yourself by yourself knowing your limit like with every other thing on earth.
You wanna quit, quit and stop disturbing Us.

The way ladies expose their Breasts on the social media now is really very alarming to say the least. A masturbation addict will self-service instantly at the sight of such images

Hmm.. Congratulations! Now pray that you do not rape another man's daughter. Masturbation keeps you away from trouble. Ponography is for idle hands. Cheers

I fit leave that thing for now maybe when I enta 40 in a just few years time... I can't be wanking at that age... I go don get pikin... I once stopped for a year but the day I mistakenly google lisa Ann and Kelly divine I nutted in no time... Semen retention is good but I just enjoy the steeze I get from wanking different relieve from actual sex

Congratulations. Glory to God.

I agree with you to some extent. Saying they should be celebrating years of been extremely busy rather than celebrating total freedom from masturbation is absolutely wrong. freedom from masturbation is real. i stopped masturbation since 2012 and we are in 2024. i have tried many times to see if my body would react to it or even yearn for it but NO WAY. I can think of anything about my past immoral life then shake my head in regret but Beloved, masturbation doestn come to my mind at all. THE TRUTH IS 'RESIST THE DEVIL HE SHALL FLEE' CHRIST MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. IF CHRIST SETS U FREE U ARE FREE INDEED. TO BE FREE COMPLETELY, ALWAYS REBUKE THE SPIRIT IN CHARGE OF MASTURBATION(U SHOULD KNOW THAT SIN IS A SPIRIT AND DIFFERENT SPIRITS ARE ASSIGNED TO DIFFERENT SINS.) WHEN MASTURBATION THOUGHT COMES, RESIST IT FIRMLY BY NOT OBEYING IT. THIS WILL NOT BE EASY BUT TRY TO REJECT OR RESIST THE THOUGHT(THE DEVIL. THE DEVIL HERE IS THE THOUGHT) IF U WILL RESIST THAT THOUGHT FOR LIKE 3 TO 4 TIMES EACH TIME IT COMES, YOU WILL KNOW THAT GOD'S WORD IS INDEED SHARPER THAN TWO EDGED SWORD. DONT JUST OBEY THE THOUGHT OF IT FOR LIKE 3 TO 4 TIMES AND SEE IF IT WILL STILL KEEP COMING. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND HE ALONE CAN SAVE. PRAISE GOD.

I'm happy for you,it's worth celebrating, pornography and masturbation has done more damages than Good,most especially erectile dysfunction, weaken of penile muscles, premature ejaculation,blurry eyes,dull rententive memory and Low sperm count.

If you're suffering from any of these as a man or you know someone contact me for permanent treatment with Herbs.

You made a comment of alhamdulilah under a topic celebrating victory over porn and masturbation and I asked an innocent question to ascertain if you are a porn addict.

What makes your heart leaps? Muhammad heart was leaping when he saw the naked wife of his son, Zayd. He muttered some words which revealed that his heart leapt, we didn’t know what he did after leaving her house


“one day the Prophet ﷺ went searching for Zayd ibn Ḥārithah (rA), then married to Zaynab (rA) (who also happened to be the Prophet’s paternal cousin). Upon reaching Zayd’s house, he discovered that Zayd (rA) had stepped out, and only Zaynab (rA) remained to greet him. Zaynab (rA) invited the Prophet in, but something in her appearance stimulated a strong attraction to her in the Prophet ﷺ, and he immediately departed, uttering, “Glory be to Allah, who causes hearts to turn!” Zaynab informed Zayd of his visit and statement, who recognized its implication, and immediately offered to divorce Zaynab for the Prophet’s benefit. The Prophet ﷺ, however, advised Zayd to uphold his marriage with Zaynab, though he concealed his inner desire that Zayd divorce her so that he could marry her instead. Zayd for one reason or another undertook his own initiative to divorce Zaynab. The Prophet ﷺ then received a timely revelation (preserved in the aforementioned Sūrat al-Aḥzāb) that, though it censured the Prophet for concealing his desires.

Tabari VIII:4
"One day Muhammad went out looking for Zayd. Now there was a covering of haircloth over the doorway, but the wind had lifted the covering so that the doorway was uncovered. Zaynab was in her chamber, undressed, and admiration for her entered the heart of the Prophet. After that Allah made her unattractive to Zayd”

Hahaha 🤣, savage response to AntiChristian

Seun if you don't do anything about this paid agents of Tinubu who are going about insulting and attacking everybody who has a different opinion from theirs, a time will come when every thread created on Nairaland will not go beyond one page, cus the sane ones among your members will no longer want to make any post only to be insulted by people collecting less than 10,% of our weekly income per month

4 years!

Congrats!

One good thing about porn and masturbation is that ones you start avoiding it it also starts avoiding you though it will still cross your mind ones in a while

Actually the brain trigger in some cases. Sexual objects seen are very dangerous to the brain too.
