Posting this in both forums so I can receive immediate help.
I've been having a lot of trouble lately with pornography. Before I got saved, I used to look at pornography every single day, and I had no problem with it. Now that I am saved, it makes me feel like utter crud when I do it, but it's still very difficult even though I know that God doesn't like it.
The Holy Spirit has convicted me more times than I can count because of watching porn, and even with them, I still have trouble forcing myself not to look at it. I've tried praying, telling my mother and having her pray with me, and even installing a program with a password that I wouldn't remember, in order to block myself from going to the bad websites. But it only worked for a couple of weeks. I ended up giving in and restoring my computer to factory settings just so I could get a "quick" fix and be able to watch it again.
I need serious prayer. But more than that, I need self control. It's starting to ruin my life, and I feel like demons are coming around me more now that I've been doing it. Ever since I gave in and started it, I've been having trouble sleeping at night, because I feel demonic presences trying to keep me awake, and bother me.
Please, please pray for me. I don't want to do this anymore, and I've tried everything.

I have a similar experience. I haven't done the extreme remedies you have but lately its been real hard to not look at images of naked people. I don't really watch movies rather than looking at still pictures but its all the same. I'll pray for you, you pray for me. I don't ever discuss this really because my bf has had an addiction to porn and I don't want his addiction to flare up. But now that i'm thinking about it I have shared it with a friend from work and talking about it freed me and made me more accountable for my actions.

I'll pray for you. 3nodding Maybe you should try gradually weaning yourself off it, if it's hard to stop cold turkey. Make sure you destroy all of your porn, or close porn movie accounts, delete pictures ect..There are many alternatives to watching porn. Whenever you feel the urge to watch porn, try turning your attention to something else. Read a book, read the Bible, watch a movie, do some homework, do chores, go outside, learn something new, pick up a new hobby, go to church, worship. Get closer to God and ask him for help. Try to avoid triggers, and limit and screen the content you're viewing. Also if you feel the urge to masturbate, try to do it without looking at porn. Gradually, day by day, you avoid it, the urges will stop. Also see the truth about porn here: How Porn HurtsTwo Ex Porn Stars Uncover the Truth About Porn Masturbation as Birth Control

I don't want to do this anymore, and I've tried everything. "Don't Pursue Freedom from Pornography, Pursue Christ" - That's the title of the first video on here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZba1uw0oYc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0D0mOmwd_s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFgJm3pND6A www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTrnS1tOY9U I don't know about this last one really, but it might help, I just saw some of it but the other ones should help, I have realized that when you consume yourself in YHUH (God) you tend to not want to sin, don't seek freedom from Lust, seek Yahusha (Jesus) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRRASF6A2U0 http://www.gotquestions.org/stop-sinning.html well anyways I hope this helps smile I'll pray for you.

Give it up to God. He will deliver it from you I promise. We must resist temptation and put our barriers up when we feel the urge that we must do what we usually did. If you feel bad about it, that's conviction. I will be praying for you as well, and I have faith that it will stop all together. We all have something we need to work on, but we must believe in our hearts that God can take it away from us for good, and forever. He wants to be apart of our lives all the time, which therefore gives Him more room! smile

When i was about 8, i was introduced porn and got addicted to it. After God saved me, i focused on stopping sexual things since i felt like this sin had a great hold on me. Whenever i started doing something bad, i would think what happens if Jesus came back right now? After 2 weeks it has stopped me and porn is no longer an addiction to me. The Holy Spirit has gave me self control. One night I remembered when i did something really really bad. I started crying because God showed me and filled me with the Holy spirit that i was forgiven. Because of the blood of Jesus my sins are washed.

Just remember, you have faith in the Lord, and he knows your addiction and temptation. It will get better, it just takes some time.
I'll be praying for you.

Because of the blood of Jesus my sins are washed. The Holy Spirit always gives us self control. It takes away those desires we had, and replaces them with good content. Jesus has the power to wash our sins away when we fall short of the glory of God. We must always continue to remember to repent. He is faithful to cleanse us and make us pure as white as snow. smile
