Basically if I’m honest I struggle with masturbating and lust as a teenager. I am guilty of both these sins a number of times each week. I go to confessions every week to confess these and other sins so I can build my relationship with God and so I can recieve the body and blood of Christ on Sunday. Can anyone give me some advice on overcoming masturbating and lust. It would be great if someone who has also had this problem could give me advice

There are a lot of great threads on this here already. I suggest you do a search, and read through them. It isn’t really fair to ask the members to repost everything they already posted!

Since there are various types of personalities, it is difficult to say what approach will be best. Some respond to intellectual arguments, emotion, imagination, willful achievements, then those that simply want to serve.

One idea is that it is not making you feel better so what good is is?
Another is that you are not being a good servant to God.
Also consider what time is expended that could be in something to do good for others.
And also how would your spouse feel if you wasted your gifts?

Exercise can help and also doing something creative (but not sexual).
 
Thank you for your advice, I am not married so I don’t have a spouse yet😂 but thanks anyway

Ok. You are welcome. I thought of something else too. You will be more attractive to the opposite sex if you contain, even though they do not know it. It is hard to explain but it brings a kind of confidence. It there is too much pressure in the organs it will naturally be released involuntarily or absorbed (usually in sleep but is may be at other times). However if a habit is established it can be broken in time.
 
Hang in there son, it gets easier. Right now you are flush with hormones and I know the urges can almost be involuntary. Every man has been where you are now. Try your best to avoid situations where you have “alone” time, but always, always remember that God loves you and trust in his mercy.
