I don't know how to help you exactly in this situation, having a few struggles as well. But I'll pray for you and if you need someone to talk to, I'll be ready to lend a listening ear. blaugh

Yes, I know what it feels like when you don't masturbate.
Try to occupy your brain on something else.
Get a(nother) hobby! blaugh
And don't wear it with pride. That's a sin if I remember correctly.

The temptaion is always going to be there, God isn't going to take the temptation away. He can set you free from the chains that it has you trapped in but ecen so the enemy will come in and try to tempt you again. What helps when you are being tempted close your eyes and picture Jesus (either dying on the cross for you and for your sins because He loved you and wanted to set you free, see Him smiling down on you because He loves you, see Him holding you, running to you.) Just picture Him in your mind (yes I know that no one exactly knows what He looks like but just picture what He looks like to you) and keep that picture in your mind for about 15-25 however long you need until the temptation goes away.
Seeing His love for you and your love for Him changes how you view everything.

My prayers go out to you. If one thing is for certain, no one can escape their flesh - and when it pertains to masturbation and pornography, it follows you everywhere.
My only advice is to you is to do what I do. Its to realize what you're doing in someones presence. Would you let a child watch you masturbate to what you're doing? Your parents? How about your grandparents? If you say no to any of these - then would you do that in front of Jesus, the one that see's our hearts and our acts in everything we do in this world? Imagine he's there sitting at your bed side, or in a chair by you at your computer.
This advice is not to make you feel all creeped out. I've found that it helps get me in perspective. And trust me, I've failed enough to tell you that I'm human and I'm fallen enough to swear by my imperfection. We will fall, but we MUST get back up.
Take small steps with what you do to avoid situations that put you in temptations way. Its not always easy, but if you want to set your eyes on higher things, this is only but one way out of many ways to abstain from sexual sin. Repentance is difficult and seems impossible to some. But there is hope.
EDIT: If you feel you need to talk about it privately, you are more than welcome to PM me. No judgments, condemnations, etc., just another person who knows what you're going through.

I agree with him he has some good advice biggrin and if you want you can pm me but I won't be much help because as krazed_kon said I don't know how to help you out with this situation. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjNK5SuWOIs it's called "Freedom from Masturbation and Pornography" I also encourage you to watch more videos from illbehonest, they help out alot biggrin

nooloo4000 im in a battle to break my addiction to porn and masturbation please pray for me my head is going crazy and i could use some one to talk to please help i cant do this alone i wanna be able to wear my purtiy ring with pride again Fellow believer, I'm going through the same thing you are. Don't be suprised ore hopeless if some iof the council other believers give you is useless: Your flesh tends to censor external (Non-sinful) influences out of your head, to make sure it has a tighter grip on your mind and actions. But if you don't listen to anything I say, listen to this: Talk to other Christians who share your problem.Have You ever seen the film 'Love is Not Enough?' Its the movie about the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. Its a decent movie, go pick it up. Anyway, the main character, Bill, was an alcoholic, and he eventually found that by talking to and having fellowship with other alcoholics that struggled with their problem, he (and the others) discovered that it helped them refrain from alcohol. The general method is still being carried on today. I can't really see how the same method can't be used for helping people refrain from Porn. So what I'm saying is, talk to people who experience your struggle. You will all be helping each other. Find people to talk to. Or like The_Servant_Grey Suggested, talk to some people through PMs. You can even talk to me, as I am fighting temptation of this as well.

ok first of all i personally think its ok to do it enough to not get blue balls, im sure all guys agree with me (my friends have gotten them before, its not pretty and is very painful) and ur young so it is natural.
everytime u feel like looking at porn read the bible or go visit the old folks home it'll really get sex off ur mind.
God will help u through this but u have to 100% want to get rid of this addiction.
and yes ive said a prayer for u
