The OP is a man. Don't change the subject to "temptations of women".

Dozens of OP's on CI are men. The title of the thread was not exclusive to men, so including women is not "changing the subject," unless you believe, erroneously, that we women are not tempted to impurity. We are. It's just that women, overall, are less honest about that publicly than men, overall, are.

When there are other threads opened by men, which similarly do not, in the Original Post or in the title of the thread, reserve the replies to men only, do you believe that women should be prohibited from replying on the thread, due to the gender of the OP? Let's ask Matthew, shall we?

Matthew, what is your policy regarding men who open threads of universal topics on the mixed-gender forums and do not ask for male-only replies? Should we women be prohibited from replying?

Madam, you should not be posting advice to men. Moreover, what you are attempting to post in a PUBLIC forum is unladylike, and frankly, revolting to me. You should keep it to yourself, your husband, or your spiritual director.

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. (1Tim 2:12)

The face of St. Therese in repose helped me. Perfect beauty that defies all attempts to possess it. This face is resplendent with the Love of God.

What are the best and most effective methods for conquering the sin of lust and masturbation, pornography, impure thoughts, etc?

Ask Our Blessed Mother to allow you to see the devils tempting you or have a vision of Hell.

Masturbation is a mortal sin making one worthy of Hell. What kind of advice is that? Learn your Faith.

No it's not. I can't believe I got 9 thumbs down there.
I am a good poster. That was ridiculous, although I realize
how what I said could have been misconstrued, which it was.

Masturbation is not often a cardinal sin.
