I have also fapped without using my hands all these days. I never did it with hands. I’d rub my thing against bed while shaking my waist. Good to know I’m not the only one

Exactly, I find this very macabre. A very astute way of making us addicted, because honestly, I’m not able to manipulate myself with my hands.

Success comes from countless failures in ever-increasing times, until it doesn’t fall anymore.

brother, I don’t think they talk about it because it embarrasses people, people want to seek holiness and look holy, but appearing is easy, being holy is difficult. The church is made up of sinners. And there are sinners of all kinds struggling to overcome evil within them, for we are all depraved. Some arrogant, others selfish, others gossip, others masturbation, others hypocrisy … It is necessary to speak to separate groups of men and women on the subject and give them the freedom to seek help in particular. Churches fail to do this because of the taboo of masturbation and the shame of assuming that you are addicted to this sin. You can see that we are all anonymous here, who will want to be revealed? And if any acquaintance finds us … what a shame we would be with our damn mistakes. And this is reflected on a larger scale in the church as a whole where people want to ensure a reputation so that they are not a stumbling block to anyone. God-fearing and courageous men are needed to help their brothers in teaching this. If you can, brother, fight for your local church, talk to your leaders about it. It would be very good for everyone, you have no idea how this damn sin is running wild.
holiness goes beyond appearance and audience. We must always remember that God is omnipresent, his eyes are attentive to the just and the unjust. Holiness should be for Him, but we fools care more about what others will think of us than God, so in public many easily appear to be holy like Pharisees in the Bible, beautiful on the outside, but on the inside, it is It is necessary to hear that we need to repent, because of God nothing is hidden.

Translated title from Portuguese to English: Every time a man masturbates, he chips away at his manhood. C. S. Lewis
When analyzing the current situation of men within the family, spiritual and professional context, we can see the lack of masculinity that exists today.
.
The man who was created to be the head, the leader, the representative of God on the face of the earth, has been silent in all aspects of life.
.
What nobody knows is that addiction to pornography and masturbation kills manhood. Pornography generates insecurity, low high esteem, indecision, fear, doubt, selfishness, bipolarity. It destroys moral principles in relation to the family, to what is pure and worthy and develops a generation of men weakened in the function of fulfilling their true role.
.
Let’s look at two serious problems:
.
- Addicted to pornography and masturbation are unable to have healthy sex with their wives.
.
Reports of ■■■■ addicts prove the lack of sexual desire for the wife. This is due to factors such as selfishness generated by pornography. The man wants to reproduce the filthy sex he learned from his addiction within his marital relationship. Or, masturbation becomes the only means of personal satisfaction.
.
Masturbation makes you a weak man. A man who is constantly desiring the women of others through pornography.
.
Masturbation shows a lot of how selfish you are and only thinks about your own pleasure and satisfaction. Pleasure that is totally sought in the wrong place.
.
Masturbation with pornography only shows a search for pleasure and satisfaction through sin.
. - Pornography and masturbation addicts are bipolar.
.
The addict is usually an irritable man. Your uncaused nervousness is based on the food in your mind. The consumption of pornography destroys your Self-Domain and it directly affects all areas of your life. He can no longer be someone caring or considerate, but he easily changes his mood, creating insecurity in his wife.
.
The Bible teaches in 1 Corinthians 7: 1-5 how healthy sex should be within marriage, according to how God created it, but pornography creates in the minds of its consumers that the woman is only an object of the satisfaction of man’s desires and that she must submit to everything to satisfy him. This is also the death of masculinity.
.
God’s children are satisfied in the Father and in constant thought of eternal things. May the Lord help us, by His mercy, to be fully satisfied in Him.
.
Remember: A society without masculinity, is a society outside the standards of God.
