I got astray today. I watched "a bit" of porn on youtube. And NO, not for my satisfaction or anything, just out of curiousity. And I'm 19. But I didn't feel good about it, I felt disgusted and ew. Now I'm feeling really guilty about it and scared...that God might be very very angry. Will He forgive me for the sin I committed?

Islam says if you sincerely repent and reform yourself, you will be forgiven :
Say! my worshippers who have transgressed against themselves.. God forgives all sins.. Truly, He is the oft forgiving, most merciful.. (39:53)

There is nothing wrong with porn, y0.
If you are really interested in serving GODs will, telling the truth, keeping your promises, and treating other people the way you want to be treated will go a lot farther towards fulfilling GODs purpose on this plane than not watching porn.
Edit: Instead of falling back blindly on your own social programming, THINK. Why do you feel disgusted and dirty? It is because of what you saw or because people have told you that this is how you are supposed to feel. Part of being an ethical and rational human being is CHALLENGING your own programming. GOD has no use for blind servants, or GOD would have made us all as such.

Dear Beloved,
I made you with free will
I've told you that love Unconditional Love is yours forever
I've created a special person just for you
Please don't distract yourself
Now you know you are a healthy male
You also found out the Truth, that lust is dust
It is a sacred thing to be with your wife
Do not sully it with images that are just images to distract
Life on earth is practice practice practice that's why there is so much temptation, how can you look away if you don't exercise your will to do so until it becomes your natural choice to not look in the first place.
You are so much my Beloved.
Hold on, stay strong in your natural integrity and let it guide you in your choices.
Real men can and do look the other way ahead of time and therefore never distract their energy from the task in front of them.
Take heart and go forth and practice turning your head the other way ahead of time.
Do you forgive small children their mistakes? How then can I not forgive yours?
You are my Beloved, my best Beloved. Remember this in all your choices. Do not be swayed by the crowd, follow ME in your heart and all your ways and days will be of delight wonder and peace in you.
And so it is.
I have spoken.

Wow! don't be so hard on yourself. You're 19 and maybe just discovering sexuality. Don't let guilt eat you up, instead talk to your dad or mom, or pastor and just ask them about things if you have any questions. Porn is not normal behavior in a sexual relationship, so don't let it distort your view of things. There's worse things that you could have done! God will forgive you for anything.

All one has to do is repent. Turn away from the sin and live free in the arms of Jesus. I understand curiosity but porn is bad. I knew someone who got into all sorts of things due to internet porn. It started out of curiosity. This person is now doing a 16 yr sentence in the pen.

Been there. God forgives as soon as you ask, but you also need to take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. That part is for you to figure out. But whatever you do -- stop feeling guilty! When God forgives, guilt and shame have no place except with Satan. You are free so enjoy it.

Im a Christian and a Lutheran. I think of course God will forgive you! He is proud for you not feeling good about it because you knew it was wrong. I forgive you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. For Lutherans other Christians can forgive people. You can take it or not, its up to you. I think you are fine. Remember God loves you and is not out to punish his children. He loves you.

The only sin He will not forgive you for is not believing in him when you die. Otherwise, everything is covered, with no exceptions - once you confess to Him that you are a sinner and accept that His Son died to pay the debt for your sins - past, present and future.

The reason you felt disgusted is because the holyspirit was convicting you of your sin. YES GOD will forgive you for what you have done. All you have to do is confess it to him and he will forget what you have done because he has that ability to forgive and forget. NOW REMEMBER STAY AWAY FROM PORN.

This is what God does? Makes you feel guilty for seeing something that human's are made to do, naturally?
That's quite a guilt trip to lay on a 19yo.
Forgive yourself and if you don't want to look at porn, don't do it.

Repentance is always available. But the path that you've taken a single step on does not lead to happiness.
