So, hear me out:

I have a problem with pornography. Not, like, an addiction where I can't think about anything else or something that's messing with my life - I look and fap maybe twice a week. But I have religious convictions that make me feel like it is an actual problem. I know a majority of you guys will/would be like "lol faggot - its just porn" but to me it's more than that. It's an awful thing, but that's besides the point.

I recently moved to a college town for school and holy crap, the number of good looking girls here is through the roof. Everywhere you turn, there's a sweet, smart, and pretty girl to talk to.

I can't pursue them, though, until I feel like I get my own shit under control... and that means pornography. It would be totally unfair for me to enter into a relationship with a girl and bring that mess into it. So I decided that I can't date until I deal with this issue of pornography.

Like I said, I'm not addicted, but it's bleeding over into my life in negative ways. I've even started experimenting with gay pornography and it's like, I'm not gay - I know that - but it's like the taboo thing that gets me excited. Same with, like, hardcore violent stuff. It's not exactly the image I want to represent for my own religion.

So my question is, like, who else here has a similar struggle? Anyone able to abandon porn in pursuit of living girls? Has to be more satisfying.

Just curious what y'all think.

Dive inte your neurosis. There's something blocked in your sexual energy.

You're obviously smart and self aware, feels like not much more needs to be said. You'll know where to go from there.

Why do you feel that it's such an issue anyway? Masturbation is only natural since sexual desire is literally hard coded into our brains. Besides over 95% of single men regularly jacket it would be nothing new for anyone you get in a relationship with.

I often think something similar - there's something not expressed in my sexuality, but at the same time, I feel that the proper way TO express it definitely, definitely is not with pornography. I'll dive into it though, and see what I discover. I might just need to talk to someone I trust about it.

Like I mentioned, it's a religious conviction. Masturbation in and of itself isn't a problem - the problem is with the porn. I'm dependant on it to the point where I can't climax (solo) without porn, and I don't even get erections anymore apart from viewing images online. You can see why it's an issue.

This is a really interesting article about the verse ("he who looks at a woman with lust...") that makes Christians generally dislike pornography. http://www.jasonstaples.com/bible/most-misinterpreted-bible-passages-1-matthew-527-28/

Not sure how solid the argument is, but it's at least something to consider.
