Extremely informative post DLD. One must fast not exactly from food but other areas of life to make prayer more powerful. Very good post that touches on important issues regarding faith and pe.
Yes, exactly right. The way I like to see it is like this; The Devil (any negative part of ourselves) feeds on things like food, alcohol, drugs, sex, and other attachments....these are the fuel of the Devil and he loves to be full, fat and fed and if we do this he will become much more powerful in those so called demons that haunt us. We can get a better understanding of the words the Lord said, "Man can only serve one God" this brings the point full circle, if we are serving an attachment we are certainly not serving our Lord. Understanding this we can now say, all things do have their opposites and if the Devil lives off of attachments, staring him off these attachments and replacing them with the spiritual food of Heaven, prayers in good faith, we can make all things happen! Always, fully knowing, there is absolutely no limit to what we ask for as long as the belief to receive it is there.

DLD how do I get through the mental block with erections and thinking that I'm thinking too dirty and shameful instead of pure thoughts? Cause it's killing my edging sessions I haven't did one in a while.
What is first most important is to get a grip on what insure thoughts mean. We are told through the Gospels that "even if we look at a woman with lust in our hearts we have already committed adultery." This also needs to be dissected and understood that the word Adultery is making reference to lusting after anthers wife, not a single women. It should also be taken to heart that to the thinking of the thought should not be married because the sin will retain it's value if you, being married, lust after any women...this is the same, it would be considered Adultery.
So, for a single man, looking upon a single woman or viewing material a single women has decided she is ok with filming or being depicted in, does not violate the law of Adultery. We should also take to heart that Lust, in itself, is not a sin, it is what Lust brings us to that becomes sinful. So simply looking at a beautiful woman with total appreciation for what the Lord has created is as pure a form of worship as any other praise we give God. This same thing applies to even those who are married, celibate or dedicated in any other way to a platonic relationship. Being in a relationship and not appreciating the beauty that surrounds you is a total miss of the Gospels words. We are told by Christ to enjoy all things in moderation as long as they follow his Fathers Commandments. In the commandments we can easily get a complete understanding of them by what Saint Paul said "If you love your neighbor as yourself you have fulfilled the commandments because love of neighbor violates any commandment.
So to sum up what a good Christian should feel ok about viewing, as stimulation of for Penis Enlargement, would follow the following guidelines:
1. No depiction of insertion vaginal and especially anal.
2. Nudity is OK as long as the woman being depicted without subjugation or against her will. Creative, artistic photos and videos of nudity are perfect, I will post some good links when I arrive home.
3. If you are married avoid lusting after another woman in any way, you have made a commitment to be one flesh for eternity, respect, love and extol your wife.
4. If you are single, any other single woman is fine to think on as long as the thought do not violate the first law.
5. Remember, all things in moderation...even prayer can become an obsession...enjoy all things with love and praise for God and respect, tasting and savoring is always better than gluttony and self hate because of lose of control.
6. Most importantly, remember, you are a man, you are flesh and Jesus and the Holy Mother know you are venerable to the weaknesses of this world. When you do miss the mark and commit sin, do not hide it from your Father and Mother, get on your knees and tell them and ask for the virtues you need to become stronger. Jesus loves a contrite and humble heart!
I hope this helps a bit, I wish I could expand further on this where I am but I can not, I will pick it up this evening and I will also try to remember those links. As a matter of fact we should even create a thread that includes links that Christian men can feel safe using, this would be brilliant.
