i am addicted to porn it started when i was surfing the web and i got a pop up. well i sort of explored it and now i am addicted. I know it is wrong so I just want to know if anyone else had this problem and what they did to help get their mind free. Even if you dont have this problem what do you do to get your mind off problems.
Also I know that people think porn if bad ... which it is but I admit I have a problem and if you cant respect me for that then you can go F*** yourself
thanks to anyone who helps

"Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things." Phillipians 4:8
Admitting you have a problem is a good start, and it means you know right from wrong. Because you even said you know it is wrong. Knowing that, you can go to the next step, which is keeping yourself from temptation. Jesus said "If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out." He meant that if you have something in your life you are looking at, and it is causing you to sin, get rid of it. Turn the computer OFF! Unplug it, if you have to, get rid of it. It is causing you to sin.
Repent of your sin, and ask Jesus into your heart. He will replace your lustful desires of the flesh with something pure and lovely. He will give you a new heart. The verse I wrote out for you is a very powerful one. Memorize it, and say it to yourself several times a day. It will stick in your memory, and everytime you get tempted, it will automatically pop into your mind. Remember the Lord can see whatever you do, even in private. That one helps me a lot. Replace your bad thoughts with good ones. Read the Bible daily, and everytime you get tempted. Pray to the Father, through Jesus, His Son. Ask Him to take you out of this bondage you are in. It has worked for me for other sins, and I know it will work for you. It is obvious you want it to, and so I just tell you to pray each time you are tempted, and read your Bible. And don't forget to memorize the verse! I'll pray for you, too! God Bless

I am responding to your words "addicted to porn". So the answer to your question is that Internet port is very addicting and a major problem. If you believe that you are addicted to Internet porn than it is a problem to you and needs help.
The first thing you can do is to eliminate the problem. The suggestion of a filter is a possibility. You can also find Internet sites that control that for you. If necessary and it is an addiction, it may be necessary to remove the Internet from your home.
You also need support in your desire to deal with the addiction. Your religious leader or a counselor can help you try to work through the problem.
You might also keep in minds support groups like Sex Addicts Anonymous. There should be information about it on line.
God's strength as you try to deal with this problem.

Pray and ask for prayers. I learned the hard way that any thing you are addicted to porn, drugs, money, power, work, booze, other women, (other men), anything can cost you everything. I lost my heart, the woman I love more then life, the woman who I waited ten years for. When my first wife left I thought I would never find any one and when she came along I was in heaven and I BLEW IT. Because I was addicted.
Nothing stops an addiction but prayer. and you need to put your trust in the Lord and Let Him take your burden away. It is tough Man I was on here last night begging for prayer from people because I was gonna fall. Prayer and the Lord will hold you up when nothing else will and when you let the Holy Spirit in you will find that He leaves less and less room for your addiction to come back, weather it is porn or drug or women or anything, His Spirit will fill you
Give it over to God and pray

Why do you think it's an addiction? It's very natural to look at porn. Even a few times a day doesn't really constitute an addiction. If you're still working and paying the bills, I don't see a problem.

Why do you believe Porn is wrong? So long as everyone consents there is no harm. If your addiction is affecting the rest of your life, not going to work, and paying your bills, so forth. See a professional. If you are meeting your responsibilities where's the harm.

I do respect your problem and If you are a male it is perfecly natural to explore your sexuality in this way,but like anything to much of a good thing can be unhealthy if you know what I mean,Do not worry chocolate cake on the menue for breakfast ,lunch and tea every day can be boring,you sound aware you will learn in time that there is nothing like the real feeling of love and intimacy between two people that love each other. Love and light

There is therapy for addictions, including that one. If you can't keep it to a "normal" level, or just feel it's wrong all together and want nothing to do with it, then look into counseling that can help break additions...
Really a little of the normal stuff is no harm in my opinion...it's when you constantly are into it (or it's a form that's rather illegal or disturbing) then it's a problem.

Porn is not an addiction Most adolescent use porn for masturbation. It is a natural thing. When you start having sex it will not be as bad, though you may still enjoy it. It is not a bad thing. It wont make you crazy or anything.

The best way to break a bad habit is to substitute a better one. When you get the urge to indulge the bad habit, find something you like better.

The condition of being "addicted to porn" is better known as "being human." Everyone has a sex drive. Go get your porn and enjoy yourself.
