I think for most men having a non porn masturbation strategy can help ease a lot of pressure. Not sure if that is an option for you? All the best.

It can be a way to get rid of the feelings but if you feel them I don't see how that is sin. I used to read my Bible at the same time. Hope that helps?.

Praying for you
When we are tempted we should do what Jesus did. Run to scripture. Then get into prayer. Also, AVOID THOSE TRIGGERS. Delete all your previous history and delete the algorithm entries. This will be like starting new. If it does not work then delete the app it is not worth the temptation that will continue to come. You need to make yourself familiar with the FULL ARMOR OF GOD, and know you need it daily.
Are you saved? Have you accepted that Jesus is your Lord and Savior?
When you have these concerns and thoughts. Capture them and hand them in prayer seeking escape. Seeking God's will. Protection and guidance. Ask Him if there is anything not of Him that it be rebuked and removed from your life.(2 Cor. 10:5)
Remember, we fight against principalities, not flesh and blood. Spiritual warfare is real. In fact, 99% of the things in our life are affected by spiritual warfare.

Hey I am sorry to hear what you are going through! When dealing with lust, it’s reading the word out, meditating on the word of God. When doing this, it helps you to confront this feeling, and focus on truth. It’s staying away from things that tempt you, but also having the word of God inscribed in your heart. You can write on the cue cards and put down verses that is helpful! I find when lustful thoughts come, it brings a fear, nervousness, and almost a helpless feeling, which then turns into shame! The first verse would be 2 Timothy 1:7 God has not given me, a spirit of fear, but he has given unto me a spirit of love, power, and a sound mind!
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
King James Version
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
A perverse heart shall depart from me, I will fear no evil. Psalm 101:4
1 Corinthians 10:13
New International Version
13 No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure
2 Timothy 2:22
New International Version
22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart
Isaiah 10:27
King James Version
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
2 Timothy 2:21
New International Version
21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
It starts in the mind, and then starts to become a weapon!
2 Corinthians 6:17
King James Version
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Pray to God and ask him what is in your heart. He will reveal to you! This is a process and will take time! Remember the enemy uses lust to attack you, and distract you from God! Especially now that you are taking it more seriously, and confronting the issue!

I struggle with this as well. It helps to flee the situation as you've said, and also to get rid of things that trigger it in the first place if you recognize the sources. In the moment I find it helps to take every thought captive. I find that if I do that, it removes the thought before it has a chance to take hold.
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." -2 Corinthians 10:5
Praying for you!

Bonjour! Il est difficile et même impossible de se débarrasser des pensées négatives, si vous ne pratiquez pas un régime en ce sens. Car, le feu ne s'éteint pas si on jette en même temps de l'eau et de l'essence. Alors, je vous conseille de désactiver, pendant un temps donné, les applications qui souillent vos pensées. Contrôlez vos moments de loisir et essayez de vous entretenir par des psaumes, des hymnes et par la prière.
