Grace has numerous meanings like Gods guidence, good-will, and so on and so on.
As for your other question.
There are numerous ways to stop yourself from doing that, however none is full proof (not even the shot). However I will give you a couple.
1. Keep yourself busy until you are just tired enough to go to bed. This works well, however it's hard to really pull off.
2. Whenever you get in the mood start thinking of turn offs; old men/women as an example or somebody you truelly are disgusted with.
3. See a doctor for a shot/or even pills. Yes, it is imbarrassing but they can help better then I can.
Those are my top 3; however I must admit to you that I do not believe masturbation is a sin or anything like that, so my words just comes from intellect and not experience. You believe it's a sin and I'm o.k. with that. We all have our own beliefs.
I hope this helps

Grace is showing mercy when it is undeserved by the recipient. It's understanding that you are going to keep messing up and yet you will still be accepted.
I'm not sure who told you masterbating is a sin. I haven't seen anything in the Bible describing it as sexual immorality. The only sin here is the lust after whoever you are fantacizing about. But if you are set on stopping b/c your convictions are that strong, you should try prayer. In some cases, fasting may help but other than that I don't know. Good luck.

Grace is undeserved forgiveness. You sin the punishment for sin is death meaning everlasting seperation from God. Not earthly death. But God gave us His Son thus our undeserved forgiveness.
As for sin, any sin. We all have trouble turning away. We have to CHOOSE it. Often it is easier to fall back. Take it one day at a time. Choose to get up and do something else. If there are things around you that set you off remove them. Remove temptation and have some other habit ready to fill the void. Exercise, read, crossword, knitting, cooking, whatever works for you.
Good Luck

The Grace of God is the unmerited forgiveness of God through the blood sacrifice of Christ Jesus. What we do cannot add or take away from the Grace of God. We seek forgiveness and when we genuinely do, God forgives us. There is such a thing as sexual addition. Sometimes even devout Christians need help and counselling in this regard. I would not condemn you for the maturbation... its a natural release. You many however regardless of the embarrassment it may cause you... need counselling in this regard.

Addictive behavior is not something that you can easily stop on your own. You need to seek God's help and find a Bible Believing church (you don't have to tell them anything). I truly believe that you can beat this or any other addiction.
Grace is the unconditional love that God has for you. God loves all people. It is the sin he hates. Not people.

Being saved by the grace of God means being covered spiritually by the blood of Jesus. not physically, but spiritually. If your sure you want to go to the lord then you need to be serious about this. God loves you and so does Jesus. If you really want to stop that is good as long as your really serouis about it. If you really mean it then you must confess your sins and ask God for forgiveness. If you truly mean it from your heart he will but you must ask him to help you stop doing this and if you mean it he will help. Don't do it unless your serouis in which case I would be glad if you are because I care about your soul even though I don't know you but as a child of god I care about everyone's soul and wish for everyone to get right with the God. Don't listen to those other replies if your really serouis about stoping then you must mean it from your heart and must confess your sins to God for he is the only one who can get you into heaven. Just remeber that if you do it and your not serouis he knows. What I'm trying to tell you is that you must want to give up any sins you may have in order to talk to God and ask him for forgiveness. I hope that you consider doing this so you don't suffer in hell. Also remeber that we all are sinners but if you have God in your heart and give up everything and all your sins to him that you are a saved sinner.

Are you a believer? If you are, confess your sin to another believer (preferably 2) and have them pray over you and all of you ask God for guidance in this. I know that this is humiliating, but it works. I did it for my sin and it worked. God took it away instantly to show me what life would be like with out it. Only for a season though, now I have to make a more conscious effort to stop with my particular sin.

Grace is unmerited favor.
It's called lust of the flesh.
Out of sight out of mind.
Turn to another channel if you begin to lust.
Turn away if you see a sexy one.
Get married.
The only sure cure is to study God's Word and pray.
As long as you dwell in the flesh you will fall short, all are sinners.
Don't get on a guilt trip.
God's grace is sufficient.

First of all, have the strength to keep away from all porn of any kind
Second try to focus on something else and keep busy
Third try not to lust with your mind - this takes a lot of practise
Fourthly don't beat yourself up about it if you slip occassionally. God will know you are trying your best.
Fifth - pray to God for help with it
The brahmacharyins (celibate hindus) have a technique where they think of all the pus, blood, guts, sh*t, bogies of a pretty girl and this puts them off lust
Good luck

Grace, simply put, is, God's Love, Mercy, Patience, and Long-suffering, in Motion.
Give it to Jesus! If you truly love the Lord, pray that he takes the desire away. To repent, means to stop and turn from. But, you have to resist. The Bible says; Resist the devil and he will flee.
Remember; If you take one step, God will take two.
