Dude, that sounds just like me. Hentai has always been a constant problem for me, and apparently other people on this site as well (I had no idea).

We'll help each other through this, man. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, as well as everyone else who's into that kinda stuff.

I can definitely pray for you all. ^__^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

It really breaks my heart when people struggle with this kind of thing.
I know what it is like for Satan to have a hold on your mind or body. When the things you hate become the things you love, to the point where you begin to hate your self.

Just don’t give up, don’t lose hope.

Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.â€
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
- J. Hudson Taylor
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

I'll pray for you all.

Be strong, and remember that you're not alone.

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; I will help thee; I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Ill pray for all of you. Please keep me in your prayers as well. I still struggle with it every know and then but I've been doing better with it for a while now.

Remember that you're not alone, alot of people struggle with. Nothing is impossible with God.
Accountability Groups are great and helpful. If anyone needs a accountability partner, don't feel afraid to PM or IM me.

Porno steals away the joy of you and your spouses wedding night. You;ve become numb to it and it's no longer as special. Also by looking at the stuff, you never look at the opposite sex the same way. Rather looking at them as your brother or sister in Christ, you look at them in a wordly view. I have problems with that and I'm ashamed to admit it. I'm also not trying to say "gusy only" but I know some girls who have the problem as well.

Prayer is the mjaor thing. Just pray about it. Pray with your parents, friends, youth pastor or just pastor. Admitance is the second step. To admit your sin to not only to yourself but to God and your family, friends, and church leaders. Doesn't mean tos pread it aorund but admiting that you have the problem and letting others know you do makes a huge step for curing it.

The hirtd step and very important is get rid of the stuff. Find a program that blocks the porn sites oput. I fthiers any in your computer, trash it. If you have the urge, get off the computer immediately and pray, read your bible, or do anything to keep your mind off from it. Remember your mind can only truly keep on one subject at a time. Focus on something else than porn.

If you're home alone, get off the computer and make it a habit not to be on it. Listen to Christian music.

I find keeping some Christian sites (which includes CAA) on the internet helps me alot.

I will defiently be praying for everyone who is dealing with this and don't hesitate tot alk to me. I had a MAJOR problem with it which ruined part of teenager life. And I still have a problem with it but not as much thanks to God, my friends and family. (sorry, this is just a subject that I'm good talking bout with)

Postby CDLviking » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:10 pm

I have struggled with this in the past, so I'll let you know how I finally beat pornography with God's grace. Pornography begins with lust, which takes a human person created in God's own image and reduces them to a sexual object. The way I countered this was by asking God to restore my image of them to one of his children created to be in his image and likeness. I did this by imagining myself kneeling in front of Jesus at the crucifixion. Once I feel strong enough I bring the person I'm lusting after in front of the Jesus too, clothed in a white baptismal garment, and I pray for them as a child of God, and for myself to see them as beautiful people of God. Once I've done this, I find it impossible to lust after them anymore. I've never dealt with hentai, so I don't know if it will work just as well since they aren't real people, but you could try to think about how hentai distorts your view of women in general and tramples on the beauty of God's creation.

How strange... there are so many of us here that have been targeted by Lust itself, and among us are those who have overcome Lust and attained victory. We have such an opportunity to learn from each other, to band together and strengthen each of the weaknesses that we have with each other's strengths. Coincidentally, the first thread address that Tsunami gave you is a request from me. I'm not completely finished with this battle yet, but may I offer some advice? I've been fighting this thing for almost 10 years now (I'm counting from my first encounter with the naked female form), and I think I've finally learned some things:

1. No matter how tempted you are and how appealing porn can be, the decision to sin or not to sin is yours and yours alone. No one can force you into it. No matter how hard the enemy may be coming after you, the decision always rests with you. It's your choice, and God has shown you the correct one. The next step is to walk in faith and resist. Remember, though: no man can hope to defeat our enemy on his own. It takes the strength of Almighty God to claim victory, and He is always ready and able to come to our aid. Call on His help at the beginning of your day and keep your mind on Him. He will be your source of strength and not yourself, and you'll have an easier time handling things.

2. Music really helps. Whenever you're on the computer, put on some Christian music (preferably praise music) and keep your mind on the lyrics of the song. If you're thinking about that, you won't be able to bring yourself to sin. Try that. I think it may work for you.

I think we've all been through this valley of life for a reason. Personally, I believe the reason that I'm going through this is for the sake of the children that I hope I have... or to help those who have found themselves walking the same path as I. Nevertheless, I pray that we are all set free from this sin and quickly. Frankly, it's annoying the heck out of me... >_<

It's helpful just to know that you're not alone and that some people have overcome this. I've found that my greatest problem doesnt lie in hentai sites though that's where it started. I love to play hentai games. Dating sim games and others. And the thing is they're addicting. Having someone monitor what sites i go to will therefore not solve my problem.

One game in particular is the most addicting. It plays like airfox on this site, but the difference is the background is of a girl the aim being to shoot off all her clothes. You then go on to the second stage where the aim is to shoot off her underwear and defeat the boss. Needless to say airfox reminds me of that game. I wont say the name of the game here because i dont want anyone else to be tempted to get it. I think that game has got me because it's the sort of game that would be very addicting to play even if it wasn't a hentai game.

I'll try that CDLViking. That might help. I'll pray for everyone as well.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

This quote has always been stuck with me, especially regarding with lust

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
