9 years old was when I was searching up "boobs' and "sex" on youtube all the way until like idk 3 years later, and I was around 12 years old just started quarantine and my friends bring up pornography and masturbation. They started boasting about it, I didn't really know anything about the pornography industry -- if I remember I think I asked them what porn was, they told me what it was and then proceeded to make fun of me for not watching it. So that night I succumbed to my desires. Pornography and masturbation engulphed me, I was a slave to it since day one. I went from once every night to 1-3 times a day. I was a very lonely person at the time, of course quarantine was a huge factor of that, but when I came back to school anxiety and depression just swarmed me I thought I was the odd one out, and pornography and masturbation was my escape, and it wasn''t really until last year grade 10 where I really came to my senses and realized the damage pornography had on me. This was also the year I met Christ. God's deliverance was at the time very heart breaking. I had to give up my friends I knew since 3-4 years old, because all they would talk about is boasting about the videos they found on the hub. since then I found a new group of friends all from the same church. They really helped my relationship with God grow but I wasn't really active with them as I was with my old friends, so I still had my pornography struggle now it stemmed from a feeling of loneliness because lies from the devil saying I was not loved and I was gross, but I didn't give in as often, I went from 1-3 times a day to 1 time a week, if not 2 weeks. Then I decided to get baptized, this was the greatest choice I think I've ever made. I met Jesus in the water again, and this moment idk how to describe it changed my life. I went harder on my bible study, prayers, I just wanted to do anything I could do for Christ. Going more into bible study really changed my perspective on love, people, the world. And now I am in a state of learning, all I am learning about is literally God and also just spending time with God. Since my baptism which was almost 4 weeks now I have not watched a second of pornography. I don't not why I wrote this down I feel like I had too but I guess if he did it for me he can do it for you.

Your ministry is needed now more than ever in this hyper-sexualized age. As a 24 year-old, I feel the struggle, every day. Keep up the good work brother, you’re changing lives.

I've been praying, asking God to de-sexualize my mind. And then I saw this video in my recommendations. God is good

I prefer the phrase "De-Lustify", since sexuality is good and God created it. The lust is what damages our sexuality, but I understand why he chose "De-Sexualize".

42 year old woman, here. I watched internet porn from the time I was a teenager. I was a chronic masturbator viewing the most disgusting material. You're spot on about how these behaviors cause anxiety and make you really feel worse about yourself. I however never had Christ, I wasn't Christian, or even religious. I wasn't trying to stop because I lived in a culture that told me there was nothing wrong with it. But I certainly wasn't proud of myself. You're right that you cannot avoid the triggers, and to get free from those sins was not possible for me without Christ and prayer. Deep prayer, confession and repentence. I wish there were more support for women.

Thank you for being so vulnerable by sharing your struggles with lust and porn. My heart goes out to all the men struggling & women for that matter! It affects relationships. Sadly, our culture is so hyper-sexualized. It’s important to be reminded that the root of our sin is a longing desire of our heart. For example, the sin of lust may be a desire for human connection.

God fixed me. I did nothing on my own. I payed and prayed for God to take away my porn addiction. Once day, he did. It was like flipping a switch. I now only have eyes for my wife. Pray guys. Just pray.

I watched this video about a person's testimonies about porn and lust and the urge to masturbate. I don't remember the title of the video because it was years² back but in his video I still remember, he said, if you focus on how to be free or how to control your urge, you will fail no matter how hard you try but if you start to focus on Jesus instead of your problems, you will be free.

Loaded up KZfaq and saw this was posted 18 seconds ago haha. Perfect timing!

This is so true man. This hyper sexualized generation is everywhere you guy. It isn’t safe. But my friends we will all get through this as long as we trust in the Lord.

i was scrolling youtube and i saw this video and i said to myself, "its a sign for me to stop this" so i watched this, i almost cried, i remembered every sin i have done and i just felt dissapointed in myself but yet i can change, i have that ability to stop that bad sexualized side of my brain and im going to uphold my words from today and forward " i wont ever watch any pornography again no matter what and i will de-sexualize my brain and make my life better" Devin.C

I'm seventeen and I was just at the gym and on the gym tv screens there was literally a half naked woman pole dancing. You literally cannot to to the gym to improve yourself without these things being shoved into your face. God us good though because I've been resisting all these temptations and I feel so SO much better for it.

The worst part about pornography and sexual stimuli is that you can never completely avoid it. Even if you never click on pornography websites. You are still going to see it sometimes on social media and whenever you are out and about because shops are allowed to put sexually provocative imagery on their front windows. In Western liberal societies, you will almost inevitably encounter it whether you want to or not. Because we as a society don't have a problem with it. Society consdiers it 'empowering'.

This is amazing! I just recently began my journey, I haven't searched anything about this topic but by Gods grace your video showed up on my FYP and I couldn't be more grateful.

It sounds cliché but just go to the word of God when tempted. You can't fight this battle.

Good job Guys, Proud were all here! Love you all!

Idk why this popped up on my recommendations, but I'm glad I watched it. A lot of what you said is what I have found true for myself and for the men who I am walking with who struggle the same way. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this important information with the world!

Yesterday I felt like God wasn't listening to me when I asked him to show me the way I should walk because I feel lost. Today this was the first video recommendation and you gave me hope. Thank you! Jesus be praised!

Thank you for being vulnerable, I've been through that phase and listening to you makes me remember that cycle back then 😅. God truly helps men❤

5 in the morning here, just went to the gym before my work. It is unbelievable timing how this video just got recommended for me. Thanks for uploading.

Wow. Issac, your video spoke to my heart man. I had an experience similar to yours when I was 13. It is beautiful to see someone speak truth on matters that society deems “normal” and “healthy”. You have a truly amazing gift and I want to let you know that God has a wonderful plan for you.

This is really perfect for my situation right now. Me and my brothers are praying for strength and understanding to overcome sexual sins and for the lord to help us run to him and not away from him. It’s been a long journey but there is definitely a breakthrough coming soon!!

This guy is beautiful, his message is awesome! I have been struggling with this, and this video randomly showed up on my KZfaq feed, and it felt like God was calling me, asking me to change, and I think this video will really help. Thank you so much Issac ❤❤

Even though I'm a muslim, this message is universal. We all, as men of God, can relate to the struggle. Sexual sins are the hardest to overcome for a youth like me. Stay strong, brothers ✊

Bro why is this SOOO RELATABLE? thanks and its getting several views from me as well as taking notes on the rewatch.

Your candor is appreciated! It's not always easy to talk about this stuff, but we need to.

I needed this. I really needed this. It helps me feel like im not alone. Im motivated and i feel much stronger after watching this. So please if anyone sees this, your support is more than welcome!❤

You might have single handily saved me, I will try to watch this every night and do the things you told me to. You have given me courage.

This video is the saddest realization for myself I’ve ever seen especially as a home schooled 14 year old Christian this hurts really bad to see in myself everything he said I’ve seen in my own life😔

This video was amazing. You have such a great perspective on it. I have been battling with this for a few months after recently coming to the lord. I'm getting better, but still fall from time to time. Thank you for this. God bless.

I appreciate that you have the courage to openly talk about this major issue in society. Thank you.

Wow, absolutely relatable!!!! The timing of when this video was suggested to me on KZfaq. It was just the right time. Hearing this actually reduced the stress for me tonight. I’m Subbing 🔔

Powerful message man, very in-tune with the times. Fight on brothers and sisters, may God be with you every step of the way.

thank you brother! I feel the Holy Spirit spoke through you on this message. It is gonna help my walk with Yahuah tremendously. I pray your ministry will be blessed even more.

This is one of the most caring and relatable things I’ve ever heard especially since we share a name thank you ❤

Thank you for this video man, I've struggled with this for a few years now, and helping read daily scripture has helped me tremendously by helping me find comfort in God's word, but as a 23 year old guy it's almost impossible to keep It under control and just cutting out all the things that could set you off

Ive been struggling for a while now and my prayers have been answered

The part where you mentioned after indulging in sexual content, you’d start watching videos on lust is SPOT on. It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one. I’ve been in this repetitive cycle for too long. As a child I was introduced to pornography at a very young age and although I didn’t realize it at the time, now I see that I was molested by my older step sister and introduced to sexuality in that nature by her. (What a stereotype right… lol) I believe that has also contributed to my struggle with overcoming this sin. Needed this desperately. Thank you brother. Video came at the right time.

you actually have helped so so SO many people. thank you dearly. we all appreciate you and your soluton!!!

Ganna be rewatching this a couple more than a couple times… thank you for the video

Brother, from the big gulps during the whole video, I can tell that that was a very difficult content to make. Thank you for putting yourself and your experience so early in life out there for us. I def feel more encouraged to keep on fighting. Keep it up man!

Thank you so much for these videos, brother. They are definitely an encouragement in these times.

God bless you, man. Many people need to hear this

i'm really going through this right now, and, you've inspired me a lot with this video. thank you. i'm grateful to God that He brought this video to me.

Thank you brother. This has been on my mind for our society lately

I needed this as I continue on my journey as a born-again Christian. I spent so long in sin that my struggle with being a hyper sexualized man has been the hardest part of dying to sin.

I wasn't going to watch this video since I've been seeing more of this kind of thing on my recommended recently and I thought by not watching them I could hide from what I do but I'm so glad I chose to watch this one. It has helped me to realize that some of the things I do that aren't related to pornography necessarily are still leading me there and I need to stop leading into them. I hope to better myself one step at a time and I think that finally starts here. Thank you for helping me man and keep it up

I’m gonna be honest. Regardless of my religious beliefs, this is the most helpful and amazing videos I’ve ever watched on this. Thank you man.

Been struggling with this for years and every time I think that I have finally overcome it I find myself back at it again

I will say, once i started combatting my porn addiction, i started to genuinely feel some sense of self worth, which was to me a new feeling at the time!

Wow this video has blessed me so much!!! Thank you! I backsliding a lot in the last year and I remember God teaching me everything you said here when I first came to Christ. This is excellent keep up the good work and don't be afraid of adding even more depth. God be with you and bless you!

Man, I feel so ashamed saying that I am still struggling with watching pink-films at 15, but I have recently been looking for help and thank you so much for making this video. I thank God for giving me this video man

Awesome video man! One of the problems I have is sexual dreams. I wake up tempted from them. They don't happen often, but it's a problem when they do. Please pray for me. God is good and thank you for taking the courage and time to talk on this, especially in the state of our society now.

Not a man here, but blessed by this good word brother. Praise God and thank you for your help.

Thank you for this message. I relate to your experiences with issue, with looking at a christian video talking about lust and sin and telling me to stop. Just for me to return back to the same sin. This video really helped open my eyes to my pornography addiction and what I need to do with God by my side. For the longest time I've been hiding this addiction from people, but I feel like writing this comment is my first step.

Thanks man, the whole process of recovery seems like a struggle. But it’s one that the Lord knows that we can go through with his help. I was told that the Lord would not give us trials and temptations that we could not could not bear. Recently however I find that to be slightly untrue, I believe that the proper way that was meant to be phrased was that “The Lord will give us no trial and temptations that we can not bear without His help”. He will all ways be there for us, love ya brother!

WoW! This was full of the Holy Ghost. 👍🏼🎯 great content. I agree 100% when you were talking about the preaching that condemn sin (agreed) but offers no practical pathway to address and deal with it. Smut online does not satisfy, and is empty. Thank you for sharing this video.

As a 25 yr old virgin man, that has looked at things I shouldn’t. I approve this message.

My brother in Christ you said everything I needed to hear. Thank you for making these videos they are incredibly helpful to some of us, and I thank God for pointing me to this video.

I faced the same problem. Exactly the same way. It took me too long to get myself out on my own. My motivation was doing better not just for a girl i liked, but for God. This was something I really need to hear. Thank you

I’m thankful I grew up just before the internet. I’m certain it would have tripped me up. Praying for this generation particularly that have to deal with social media in ways I never had.

Hey, thanks for this great video. The first minutes described exactly how I began with lust. However, I think your words are so true and strong that you don‘t need to add music to it. When the music is on it’s nice and all but as soon as the music is off you snap back into reality. There is no need to emotionalise, just put out the truth as you already do. Thanks again for your videos, they help me a lot.

Thank you so much for this. This was beautiful. This made me feel very seen. It’s a hard subject to talk about and you did it in a very comforting and kind way. So thank you.

fantastic and emotional video, so many of us have parallel stories. thank you for sharing your story

Thank you for making this video. Ive been struggling with lust and pornography. a couple weeks ago I actually started realizing what some of my triggers were and how they came about, so I came up with plans to reduce the amount of triggers that I can control. Like you said, you cant cut out all triggers but you need to have a plan to stop before you go too far and actually sin. there's some triggers for me that come from others with perverted minds and they have no problem making wildly inappropriate jokes/statements. Ive found ways for me to get the image out of my head or block it from entering. In a way this video helped me understand that I'm already on the right track to de-sexualizing my brain. Thank You! God bless you!

My brother you have ministered to me way more than you know. I’m trying my best to remove myself from pornography because I have chosen to focus more on God and the blessings that He has given me. 🥹🙌🏿 Thank you. 😎💪🏿❤️‍🔥👍🏿

Thank you;just,just thank you I watched your video and was in tears and the next day I went to my dad and told him everything and asked for help and now I feel really good about myself not lonely not in pain not in regret not feeling like a bad person so thank you so much

I was literally looking through KZfaq and this kind of video would NEVER end up on my recommended videos. Yet it did. God worked in my life to show me the actions I need to take

Man I really needed to hear this, thank you man.

Hey Isaac! Have you thought of maybe putting your YT videos on straight audio on Spotify or something similar? I feel like just listening to these videos would be great! Just an idea, also thank you for these kind of videos. I've been struggling a lot with this stuff recently and it's super hard to get out of. So thank you for making this content

Thank you, KZfaq recommended this to me for a reason and I needed it

This came too late, I was doing so much better for a while just to go back and do worse and now this comes up. Thank you.

The KZfaq algorithm didn't show me this video. GOD DID

I’m on my retention journey, solid almost month now no porn, solo time or with someone else, bro is spittin all types of facts, W pops btw, temptation been strong but this popped up on my screen for a reason💯

I was in an insanely similar situation to you as a kid. I was exposed and heavily involved in the world of sexual content around the age of 11. Although sadly, my story didn't quite get the same smooth going. I had a hard time getting any trust or real relationship with my parents or siblings and as a homeschooler I was left with really no one but myself to deal with it. It didn't go well. I was stuck in this horrible loop of being, well, addicted to this stuff for years. I'm 15 now, and I only seriously started fighting it around 6 months ago. I realized it had destroyed my life and my abilities to interact with humans and worst of all it was ruining my faith. I still fight it to this day. I was actually at one of my weakest points, but suddenly this video appeared in my recommended. Thank you so much for spreading this message. Thank you so much for encouraging kids like me to escape this horrid trap. Just this school year I finally got sent to normal school and it was instantly difficult to interact with people. I felt like I couldn't be around normal people without the thoughts getting to me. It's still tough, but I've improved. I've spent a lot of time considering my morals, my boundaries, my goals, and my relationship with God. I've had to dump friends and go through some difficult things, but it's because it was the right thing. And the reality is most of the time we don't like the right thing. We don't want to do it. But that's something we have to fight every day as a Christain. I pray that this video can reach many more people. This is a thought process that us as humanity needs. I think I'm going to go get some food now, maybe do some homework. Thanks again, man. I owe you everything.

This is a much needed topic in todays world, thank you very much on this being open & honest about this video 🤙

I'm 15 years old and just got baptized today. Love your videos.

Im watching this as a single mother with a son who i believe is struggling with this. He has autism so i dont know how to get through to him. This is helping..thank you for being so vulnerable to help others

Your story is so similar to mine, and you explained this perfectly. Thank you and God bless

I greatly appreciate how this is presented in a tangible way to ever age group. From as early as it usually starts snaring us all the way into middle age adulthood. And to the rest of you men out there just because it was presented simple doesn't mean there isn't value here. The first wall came down when you decided to watch the video, the second wall came down when you started reading comments... Keep fighting brothers.

"Watching provocative stuff but at least not porn" That was literally me, word for word.

Perfecting timing...

Wow its crazy how relatable he is, when he talks i can relate to alot he says and its helping cause his methods are going to work evidence shown

This is a serious issue in our modern society, when I got my first crush I looked in the mirror and told myself “I’m too good for this” after being rejected by her I got depressed and almost turned to it multiple times and still feel depressed sometimes but this video along with other things have helped me stay away from it and better myself, best wishes🧡💛

Pornography creates hypocricy in the heart.

I've been fighting this battle for a while. People keep on talking about having a reason behind it but I just feel like I don't. My life is good, I don't have anxiety or anything like that. It just starts whenever I am turned on. The other issue is sometimes my own thoughts will just turn me on like what do I do about that where I can't even escape my brain. I don't know I want to stop but this feels like something that will just always be a part of me.

This genuinely touched my heart in a different way than any other "self improvement video". Someone talking about it from a personal experience and relating to exactly what you're saying makes me feel very emotional. While I have said it to myself before, I will from now on actually try my absolute best to not watch it. This video helped a lot. Thank you for actually talking about seriously

I needed this. I’ve been praying for help and been wanting to only view my loved one as the only one in my brain. Society has become hyper sexualized. It’s hard to avoid these days. Thanks.

Its taken me 20+ years to do this but I have it down now, you have to seriously remove and avoid all triggers, just like beating any other addiction, there is NO moderation, it is all bad! I have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy, no intimate scenes in movies, do not look at women in magazines, avoid any situation that allows lust.

People forget each and every day that the MAIN purpose of sex is procreation and not necessarily “just for fun” once ppl can once again understand the value of making love with your actual partner. This hookup culture will fizzle into nothing. Unfortunately, it’s an uphill battle normalizing intimacy these days and it’s depressing it’s that way now.

The same way we might feel anger in certain situations, the temptation may come, but the key is how we act after the feeling. That's why we need God's Word as a toolkit to act like He has taught us. God bless you Isaac David, your mission is really helpful especially for our generation. Keep it up!

Thanks for the video it's good to see another homeschool kid making a difference I'm 17 and I'm homeschooled too thanks for the encouragement

I love your content and seeing how you are growing. I value your online ministry. I will say I wish your thumbnails wouldn't have some of the photos you have in them. They can be triggering for men and women who are struggling with p*rn. God bless your ministry!

Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Nobody will see the Father in Heaven but through Jesus Christ.

I came here only to say that you are a really wise men. Keep up!

Nailed it bro thank you so much That’s dumb; we’re not falling for that

Porn finds you no matter what you do. The approach I try to take is that the horny or lustful feelings come and go. I do not seek them out, I do not freak out when I see or get shown those things. The only thing you can do is stop searching for it. It's okay to appreciate beauty of others, but do not let the feeling linger and don't get hung up on it. Don't seek it, it will find you naturally, I used to lie to myself about things I found beautiful to try to prevent myself from feeling like that. But now I just don't seek it and I'm comfortable acknowledging what I like and don't.

Hold on why this getting relatable? I’m only 5 minutes in and this was me I told myself I would go to hell if I did it again. God, please forgive me.

I needed this, I'm about 13 years old and i have been struggling with p*rn and things like this that he talked about and this has really helped

What I found profound is where you mentioned doing a detox. I took that with me, and what I realize is we don't realize just how much of an effect the distractions of this world has on us finding true spiritual freedom. There is only one source for our healing, how can we be truly healed if it has to contend with you prioritising these daily distractions over spending time with God. Spending time with God in prayer, reading scriptures, even watching videos like these, this is what should replace our leisure activities. It's what I have been doing so far and after just the first day, the difference I could feel was almost overwhelming. I would recommend trying this way
