I really need help. I have a voice telling me while I was masturbating that I was going to go to hell and that I need to repent. Then earlier God told me that I transgressed His law by always committing adultery in my heart but an hour or two later I masturbated again. I am laughing but this is seriously not funny. I feel sick and disgusted at myself. Sometimes I use porn. The voice is telling me that she is my guardian and that I need to tell my counselor or seek help. I need your prayers. She was disgusted when she saw the look of lust in my eyes. While I was doing it she was telling me to stop but I did it anyway 😦 Then God said I need to pray to the Holy Spirit and seek after Him and not the flesh. Then He said I needed to rule my passions!!! But I forgot His word. I prayed two rosaries earlier today. I am so sick, I hate myself for this. How can I be a child of God if I do not do His will?? I am scared **** right now!! I will pray another rosary and confess again about this tomorrow. God forgive me I am taking His mercy for granted. What can I do??
 
I share the same struggle with Masturbation, and I recommend you join me in praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

As to hearing a voice, if you are referring to an actual auditory experience and not merely a facet of your internal dialogue, I strongly recommend you to get yourself checked by an accredited psychiatric therapist.

Do not hate yourself schecter. Everyone is a sinner.
Pray, pray and pray again.
You must want with all your heart and mind to stop the addiction. Avoid anything that may precipitate arousal eg, porn that you admitted you use.
Go frequently to Confession and Eucharistic Adoration. Remember that where there is a will, there is always a way.
God Bless!
 
This topic always draws people like a flock of seaguls around a day old sandwich. Here is how the thread seems to go:

Group one will say, “Don’t worry about it, mastrubation isn’t so bad.”

Group two will say, “Ahhh, this is a mortal sin and you need to repent!!!”

Group three will say, “It may be bad, but it will get better. Pray, acknowledge that is is a mortal sin. When it happens, repent and repent again if necessary but don’t give up and don’t forget to pray like crazy.” This is the group I’m in and it soundsl ike HerrZJA is in that group, too.

FYI, groups one and two like to fight with each other a lot. And on another note, ditto everything HerrZJA said about the auditory vs. internal thought distinction.

Take care and God bless.
 
Thanks everyone I will talk about it with my therapist and pray and what I can to fight it. Thanks for your admonition and encouragement.

May I comfort you, friend, with the reassurance that masturbation is an entirely normal human activity. Jesus speaks in the Gospels about many things. Compassion. Tolerance. Caring for the poor, the sick, the imprisoned and the disadvantaged etc. He also talks to issues of justice. He speaks of the evils of adultery. And divorce. Quite a panapoly of potential human activities. Nowhere, however, does he mention or allude to masturbation. The rules prohibiting this practice have been made up by men over the centuries and have nothing to do with the written word of our Lord. Do not be cowed by those who seek to impose human rules in the guise of divine instruction. They are not.

Best pray for the poor, the sick, the marginalised, our world environment or those without adequate health care than for help to stop you indulging in an entirely normal and natural activity. There are far bigger issues in the world to worry about, my friend. God Bless.
 
look this problem is not going to stop over night. this problem is like a drug problem. Every time you commit the sin go right away to confession and take holy communion more often when in a state of grace of course. take steps sp that you may commit the sin less often like get rid of thje dirty porn mags and all dvd or movies and so on you have.

i had the same problem and i am now free from these things and few alot better. the only problem i do have now is alot of impure thoughts and images that i have to not give in to. i sometime do get images of ceretain things that i have viewed in the past but that is my fought for viewing them and the devil tries to use them against me.

ignor what ths person is saying this is false. Masturbation is wrong and it does offend GOD. If adultery in the heart is wrong then using you body to entertain yourself is bad as well. Though we are humen we are called to be saints.
 
Lord, all that those voices are telling Schecter makes sense. His soul is in grave danger because self-abuse is objectively a mortal sin and he is persisiting in it. May he seek help from a good, holy confessor and set his mind on going to heaven. Grant him a good, holy spiritual director/confessor to help him break free from this addiction. He can be freed from the chains of masturbation if he works on loving you with his whole heart, mind, soul and strength, and puts his self-gratification last. May he avoid all occassions of sin and frequent the sacraments; pray ceaselessly for the graces he needs and do a lot of spiritual reading; and may he have a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. May he hate the sin of masturbation and be resolved once and for all to quit doing it. It may take him a while to break free from this bad habit but with grace and the help of a holy confessor he can be set free, like countless other people have been. Help Schecter, Lord, and have mercy on him. Amen.
 
Keep living the Christian life and praying and attending Church ,read your Bible and your heart will become clean and pure from sexual lust which can snare the heart and make us a slave of sexual passion

Take the words St Paul who tells us not to yield to our physical carnal appetites and sinful desires

Gods grace will make you strong and able to resist if you keep following Him and living the Christian life,your Guardian Angel can help you alot if you remember to pray to him as much as you can or daily

Many Christians have overcome this passion in time with Gods help and grace

When you are tempted ,resist and pray and remember in the Bible it writes that -Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

Love God and strive always to keep his Commandments and do the right thing and resist the tempter and sin

Remember that sexuality is reserved for marriage so really you or we have no right from God to perform sexual activity outside of Marriage

Do the right thing and stay away from arousing yourself sexually and if your not married ,motivate yourself to stay clean and chaste and to do the right thing,so you can remain with the Angels by your side and remain in Gods presence with his Grace in your heart and soul.

God Bless,Love God Brother
