How do you stop this?

[fbl9]

All off a sudden I will be just walking or sitting down and I will get an erection and a whole bunch of bad thoughts will come into my head. I do my hardest to get them away but it seems the more I try to get them away then the more they happen. Are these thoughts a sin when this happens?

most posters suggested prayers which is a very good way…another helpful way is add your self discipline to the Lord’s disicpline…taken from a suggustion from a ways back on CAF put an elastic band on your wrist and whenever immoral thoughts enter give it a snap or you could give yourself a good pinch…i not saying you need to do serious physical harm to yourself just reminders…our Lord suffered greater pain for our sake so a tiny bit of pain on our behalf gives us a share in His suffering so to speak…in my experience thus far the reminders help just as much as prayer if not more…sins of the flesh need to be delt with in the flesh in order to have full victory in my opion.
