It is a very damaging practice as I am sure you have already seen. It damages your soul so that every time you want to think pure thoughts the lustful sin you have built up with the porn habit distorts everything. Just start fighting it for all it is worth and the longer you stay away from it the easier it will be but if you keep doing it it will never stop because you make that sin stronger each time you do it.
I would tell you a sure fire cure but, you do not appreciate Catholicism

Get rid of it , all porn that you have and sell the computer , if you have to.
But I think there are Christian websites ,where you can download some program that lets another person in the group see, when you get on a website containing porn , that way you become accountable to someone else besides yourself. It is a demonic force, that broke my marriage after 29 years and my husband still is not free.
When you pray to the Lord , ask Him to deliver you from that and He will be faithful and do it , if you are sincere in your heart.

Take a look at the faces of any of the girls or boys in your porn. These are somebody’s children who at some point lost their way, often because of drug use or sexual abuse.
Do you really want to contribute to their degradation? Every item of porn you purchase makes you an active participant in their debasement.
These are more than the body parts that you ogle. These are human beings, every bit as much the beloved children of God as you.

You asked a very important question.
Jesus said (John 8:34), "Anyone who sins is slave to sin." You just highlighted this fact. You are obviously struggling with your porn addiction. You want to stop, but you have become a slave to it.
You must know that this is a problem everyone faces. However, not everyone realizes this problem. You have taken the first step by recognizing it.
Sin is like a disease. It infected the human race with Adam and Eve. As a result, we all are sinners. It is our nature to sin. Because it is our nature, God's law enslaves us. God says, "Don't look at pornography." Seems simple enough right? But the harder you try, the more difficult it becomes. This is because sin infects your soul. We are plagued by this. Wouldn't it be so much easier if God would just take that away? If He could change us so that we just didn't want to look at pornography?
Jesus came to save sinners. He came to help people with this disease. He brought the cure. That is why he said, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
He brought this cure to us through the cross and resurrection. He has made it available to everyone. Christians call this salvation. We need to be saved.
Jesus said in John 3:3, "You must be born again." We need to be transformed by God. We need to die to sin and be reborn with a new nature. We need to share in Christ's physical death and resurrection on a spiritual level. That is what spiritual baptism is all about. We experience a death and new birth that results in a change. We are no longer slaves to sin, but are free because God changes us.
So, how do you experience this? Jesus said, "Believe in me." It's that simple. Paul explains all this in the book of Romans. Chapter seven covers the slavery to sin. In Romans 10:9 says, "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." And in verse 13 he says, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
What does this mean?
If Jesus has been raised from the dead, then He is alive and waiting in Heaven for you. If you believe this, if you believe He is God, then we give ourselves to Jesus and crown Him our Lord. We surrender our sin unto Him confessing all that we have done in prayer to Him. We call upon His name, the name of Jesus Christ, and in sincere prayer we ask Him to save us from our sins. We place our faith and trust in Him, that surely He can save us from our sins and make us a new person. We do not rely on our own natural abilities, but trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and God to redeem us from this terrible state.

Sex is real. Claims of God are imaginary and all in the mind. Learn to appreciate what is real and what is not. Get it the other way around and you will either do sick things like attack little boys or burst from D.S.B. (Deadly Sperm Buildup).

I don't see anything wrong with that.
Unless, if you are telling me you like to pee at girl @ neighbor, trying to touch young girl.
