What if my body demands it?

[Joe_5859]

I don’t know how to explain it to you, but just keep me in your prayers. My body has become so used to regular masturbation that it begins to “behave differently” whenever I try to stop completely. And when I fall after that effort, it has an effect which is even more demoralizing. So sometimes I feel I just have to resign myself to the fact that my body wants it and I can’t delay it much longer (for it will eventually happen). How to get out of this mess?

Frequent Confession and prayer will be a great help.

Something that will also help is to keep busy. Find a hobby or some type of ministry to others that will keep you out of the house and with other people. Actively try to limit the time you are at home alone. Do whatever you can to bump it from the forefront of your mind.

How should I cope with that?

‘Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company. If the good company seems hesitant to have you along with them, be persistent. Just hang around with them no matter what. They will get use to you sooner or later’.
