When I first came into contact with good internet a few years ago I, sensing the trouble it could be, took an oath not to intentionally seek out content of nude women. Though this dedication has helped me in the years since, I unfortunately left out a small loophole.
I have had an unusual attraction to female feet for as long as I can remember. Only a few years ago did the internet explain to me that what I thought was a complete oddity had, in fact, a name: a foot fetish. The devil had found a crack in my spiritual armor. Though years passed without the internet snagging me, I found, as I am sure many of you know, that it only takes one time to implant a mental seed that shall haunt you for many years to come.
Other than that, my story is not too different than many others. Grew up in a Christian home, loved the Lord, everybody expects great things from me (not only am I a first-generation college student, but I am even in one of the nations top liberal-arts colleges). However, over time the devil managed to exploit the crack in my armor that I failed to adequately defend against.
A few months back I passed the one-year point from when I first failed. While at one point I was messing up once every few days, I have been able to work back to usually lasting about a week before I succumb to temptation. The hardest thing about a foot fetish, and the lust that it brings, is that there are no social norms which frown upon exposure. Whereas men often are tempted by parts of the body which remain covered, except in the dark corners of society, my temptation lies visible almost everywhere, especially in summertime.
I am in a long distance relationship with a girlfriend who does not know about my problem. Though right now our future is uncertain, I have made the decision that I must either overcome this addiction or tell her before I would ever propose. The worst part is that I sometimes doubt if I seriously am trying to fight it. After all, it isn't like somebody is forcing me to carry out the actions which I do. I am making a choice to sin, to put my own selfish desires about that which is right and good. Only Christ can fix me, but I am having trouble letting him in.
This is my first step, the anonymity of the internet makes this first confession easy, but if something doesn't change I am going to have to start "coming out" to some male friends of mine. The idea terrifies me, after all, everybody expects good things from me. However, telling the internet is my first step towards forsaking my pride.
I guess I have rambled, I guess I really don't know what I want to say. I just know I have flipped through the requests here, and though there are many who deal with pornography as we usually understand it, there do not seem to be nearly as many who have managed to avoid being sucked into the vortex of seeing nudity and sex, and yet, are still addicted to a different kind of pornography and lust. ]]> http://www.x3prayerwall.com/discussion/6039/two-months-clean-than-relapse.

Related to the sin in my life, as well as my upbringing and family history, I have had a lifelong struggle with depression. It's been a neverending cycle of acting out, hating myself, wanting to be different and not being able to change in my own strength. My wife has been long suffering in all of this, always standing by me and praying for me to be different, but we've never let anyone in.

In the 8 years we've been together, I've had 2 near misses to commit full-blown adultery. Only by the grace of God did I come to my senses in time. But these events set me on a course of 2 solid years where I was just dead inside. And this undoubtedly was a huge strain on my wife.

About a year and a half ago, my wife started changing significantly. She told me she wasn't going to wait for me anymore, and was moving on with her life. As someone who has dealt with abandonment issues their whole life, this was hard to hear. I saw her becoming very close with several of our mutual guy friends. When I would question her on this, she would only tell me that she was going to love however God told her to. She started saying that she doesn't believe in the Bible as the full authority, and will only listen to God's spoken word to her. She went on a trip to south america and when she came back, she was talking frequently to a man she met there. I discovered some alarming messages back and forth. It seemed it had become a full-blown emotional affair.

I certainly know the hand I have had in destroying my marriage. 2 months ago, my wife took off her rings and said we aren't married anymore. Even though I have longed to be in a better place for all my life, it has taken this situation to finally get me serious. I have been pouring myself into reading, praying, surrounding myself with Godly influences, seeking professional therapy and getting on medication. I want to be whole. But I also desire my family to be whole, and my wife has not backed down from her stance of pursuing divorce. Certainly I have my issues; but I feel there are things going on in my wife right now that must also be addressed. So I'm humbly asking for your prayers. That God can continue to work in my life and that I can FINALLY experience freedom that I have longed for. Also, please pray that my wife's heart may be softened, that she can see that this time IS different. That she may see a change occuring in me and that she may desire to reconcile. We have a 6 year old daughter together, and I truly believe that God is for family, for marriage, for reconciliation. At this point, it will take a miracle.]]> http://www.x3prayerwall.com/discussion/6047/worse-than-ever Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:43:32 -0400 greensnow21 6047@/discussions http://www.x3prayerwall.com/discussion/6043/introduction Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:59:58 -0400 hirachlolol 6043@/discussions I'm new to this group and wanted to introduce myself. This is important to me because I truly need community on this issue.

Age: 21

Why I'm here:
11 year addiction to masturbation/pornography.

I have been masturbating since I was about 11 and watching porn since about 12. I have been involved in cyber sex since around the same age and have also had phone sex/sent photos and videos.

This is an area of sin I feel I'm in bondage with. I've tried stopping and quitting many times, but fail. I hope to grow in a community here who can help one another fight this demon.

There is only one person in my life that actually knows any/all of this.

Praise:
I've gone about 4.5 years without having sex.

Hope to meet some of you here! :)

I started working 3rd shift about 5 years ago. When your home with a night off there really isn't much else to do.
It's not so much that I like it, it's just become a habit and a desire I can't seem to stop. Though, recently I viewed one image of a girl. Call it crush if you want, a conviction, or I don't know. I don't quite know why or how, but my heart just went out to her. I started doing research, on the porn industry as well as her and I can't believe how deep it goes. I'm not just asking for prayer for myself, but also for those in her situation.

Maybe, this is God finally getting my attention?

I have a conviction and want to do something. ]]> http://www.x3prayerwall.com/discussion/6035/i-know-i-am-a-conqueror-in-christ-but-right-now-i-am-losing-every-battle-tired- Sun, 03 Mar 2013 01:57:37 -0500 faintz001 6035@/discussions
I leave his mighty hand and i run from him just for couple of minutes to give myself pleasure / I felt so much broken when i had break up with my girlfriend I just can think of that i mean how my Love up above in heaven will be feeling when i every time promise him to remain with him and every single time I DITCH him :x

I know he told me that good work he started in me will also finish it. I am not faithful but HE is. But again i am ruining my life my time my relationships my energy my precious time which i would have put to glorify him and done my study. I have wasted every thing. EVERYTHING.

I am a clay of mistakes, weaknesses, lies,

I am ruining my Body which was his temple and he promised to live innit.
My pain agony and guilt remains in for I've been breaking my Father's heart. I know forgiveness is freely mine and his grace and love triumphs over my every weakness and my suffering. But when he is so much for me I did nothing for Him...
Just because my soul and my flesh do not comes together again he told neither it will. But i am so week and disobedient now that I am lost now and I don't know where m gonna end.

I am such a strong person in everything. He gave me everything I can think of His child can think of / Love, kindness, patience, love for everybody, for church, excitement not for the things present in world but for eternal things. But what difference does it makes when i am disobeying Him every time.

I don't know why here, but i need to tell something here because if m gonna say m gonna forget.

Father I love U !!! And i know no one else could love me as you did neither my dad neither my mom my sister nor any girl no one. Because U created me U own me U paid the price for me on that cross for me so that i could have eternal life. In you i begin and in you i end in you I laugh in you I cry In you I can do every thing Everything. I believe U'r my Healer I believe u are all I need. JESUS u'r all I need. YOU can see my inside out. I want to believe which is even the truth that the things which I face right now has a end to it in Your name and You have planned for me things which neither no ear has heard nor any eye has seen. I believe the weaknesses i face today will be turned into beautiful lessons which u want me to give at this time. I can write whole night for u Lord. Right now I am nothing that can useful to u in any means but yes U can do it ! U can Father ! ]]> http://www.x3prayerwall.com/discussion/6037/i-dont-know-what-to-do-anymore...

I'm a virgin by choice, I've decided to keep my "purity" till marriage, I don’t even date to take away that temptation to sin. This is also because I'm want “the one” and not just anyone, but I'm torn because I don't feel pure any more. I feel as dirty as if I’ve already given myself away to ever sleazy website I’ve visited or corruptive book I’ve read. After all, as a man thinketh in his heart so is he and sin is sin right? Its like I’ve been lying to myself so much and I’ve only just realised it. I’m ready for change. My university work is suffering and its partly because I’m using porn as a distraction because things are hard. I’m a procrastinator and I’ve choose this to be my fill. But my relationship with God has suffered. I want His comfort and I want that hunger for Him back. I know I was called for greatness and I sick and tired of the feeling that I’m giving it all up for the brief, selfish feeling of satisfaction. I need help.

Please pray for me, I want to change and be who God has called me to be.

I think it is clear that lust is not a choice. If so, and we don't really have free will surrounding this natural desire, why does God condemn it?
