Every time I masturbate and watch porn

You can't go it alone, you have an addiction, unless you place yourself into the hands of a confessor you won't succeed. It happened to me this way, and it is truly the most glorious thing to be free of pornography. Go join the Church properly.

This.
For real, confession is one of the most therapeutic and spiritually deep sacraments one can partake in. Not enough people use it, which to me is a major cause and symptom of so much lukewarmness nowadays.

You spend too much time in front of the screen. Do you have a job? Get one if you don’t. Do you have membership at a planet fitness gym? Get a gym membership if you don’t. Do you talk to girls as close friends? Start talking to girls in a more serious manner if you aren’t already doing so.

Do these things on top of going to daily mass. Avoid sunday mass for now. Too much booty. You are weak right now. Make sure to always sit in the first two pews at any mass time because you will be focused at the altar and not booty. Once you get your life in order then and only then will you be fine to start talking to the booty at church in a more serious manner. Courting is the catholic thing to do. We don’t do dating (fornicating before marriage). Be serious with the girl and let her father know what your intentions are and that you won’t defile the girl.

This might sound bad, but is it better for me to just get a wife so I can have sex instead of masturbating?

Can you try stopping porn first? Masturbate without porn?

I confess I masturbate and have had some relapses into porn when very depressed, but mostly I have stopped with the porn. What helped was watching videos about its harmful effects. Knowing how I get severely depressed, I don’t want to do things that could make it worse.

I’d rather not masturbate, but honestly I’m not sure it’s possible for a man. It just seems like you’re supposed to get married young and make love to your wife. It’s not good to masturbate. I repent for it and tell myself I should have a wife whom I can make love with.

Lust is no reason to get a wife.

yeah i think. but it shouldn't be the only reason and you should be prepared.
"But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." 1 Corinthians 7:9

it is possible, but you need to maintain discipline and prayer life.

I think that quote right there proves I can, I am lucky I am not addicted to porn, just like masturbating. If i can have sex with her I think it stops that. That's a great quote dude thank you.

You should love your wife for more than just looks and something to shoot your goo in though… That's what I'm saying. The love between a husband and wife should transcend sexuality. Look at Joseph and Mary.

I can understand that, but It doesn't have to be deep passion and romance, we can be a normal couple. It's gonna take a long time for me to find the one and hope that she sees me the same way. If I try and do it not It will not be natural with me pushing it, should I do dating sites and all of that other stuff? I really don't think so That's pushing love to much and it won't feel natural.

I think it's better to find a middle ground and just have a common wife to avoid sinning.

Those aren't inherently sexual so much as emotional.
Proverbs 31:10-31

1 Corinthians 7:26-28
Ephesians 5:33

Girls are not sex toys to get yourself off. The primary purpose of marriage is to raise catholic children and then the support of the spouses. Talking to girls beyond a superficial level will, along with the aid of the daily mass and frequent confession, will refine you. When you are ready to actually court a girl you will have had refrained yourself from porn and have held a steady paying job that will put food on the table. You won’t be thinking about girls as sex toys to stop yourself from beating off by then but seeing them as potential companions in raising catholic children.

your sins are already forgiven past present and future. Porn is a disgusting habit, the best way to stop is to remind yourself all those women in the videos are probably going to hell (if they don't repent), and you're jerking off to dead people.

But what if you're looking at erotic art?

not so fast. the entire meaning of the word "repent" is to change your ways, if you…do not in fact, change your ways, you could not have said to have repented.

avoid all masturbation and porn. go to confession when you have failed and stained your soul, but get back up, and pray that your faith will not fail.

erotic art is still a species of pornography. if you want a pro-tip, you can disable all images on 8ch. I have, and it's very helpful.

no man righteous not one, you'll be convicted of your sins, but we have sins that become habit, even the apostle Paul had trouble with sin. Repentance comes from the holy ghost: user wants to stop, hes trying to stop, and that is repentance, a change of mind knowing that porn is a sin.

This gives you no license to sin.

Which we must strive against with fear and trembling, with prayer and fasting.

Evil is not good; you are not repenting when you sin.

not at all a license. The blood washes all sins, "go and sin no more." What does this mean? We are all sinners in need of a savior, we try our best not to sin because of our love for the Lord Jesus Christ, and his love for us before we even knew him. We are saved despite future sins. Salvation is based on faith only.
Repentance is knowing sin, the change of mind. You start to hate the sin, such as porn which is filth, and with prayer and studying and meditating on the word you can turn away from it.
We live in a time where evil is good and good is evil, and the temptations of our lives are far greater than those before us, easy access to porn is one of them. Its okay to stumble and fall, Jesus is there to pick you back up.

It's difficult, because there's a lot of great christian art on DA:

The rosary is yet another occult practice that the catholic church pretends is Christian. It's a string of beads called a witches ladder that witches would use to count their repetitions when casting spells.

Don't do it. The catholic church is full of satanic and idolatrous practices. Steer clear of them

catholics worship the church, not God. That's why catholics have a clergy filled with pedophiles and an evil scumbag for a pope

Wow there Mr. Popular, no need to be a dick.

He's a Protestant he can't help it

Yes. You are a reprobate. There is nothing you can do to stop sinning, not even getting a job and marrying a woman and having children to take care of. Since you're going to hell either way, there is not reason for you to stop, or really do anything. Maybe you could try to impress Satan by becoming a transsexual.

Girls are sex toys to get us off and then make babies for us. 1 Cor 7 says marriage is a good idea for people who would otherwise fornicate.

hey satan, how ya doing?

Is….Is that Satan tempting me to evil self-destructive behavior ?
I really must pray way more often to God that he helps me not to let me enter in temptation, but to deliver me from evil.

Try this purity rule with 50 prostrations.
orthodoxinfo.com/praxis/purityrule.aspx

humble yourself before Christ and simply admit you need his help with this, never think that youve "won" either , always be on guard against the schemes of the devil

Yep. Pray to the Lord to heal the scars of your soul. Pray to the Lord for the healing of your mind. Pray to the Lord for his assistance battling demons for yourself and all others grappling with these issues.

If you are Catholic pray the Rosary daily and often. It is like the most foul poison to them and will drive them out. Also make sure to confess often if you need to.

Remember demons wait for you to believe you are in the clear before they really ramp up the temptations. They want you to fall from your high point so that the fall hurts more and it is harder for you to climb back up they find joy out of it.

Bite your teeth together and don't do it. It gets easier with time.
