It is not surprising in this age of self-love that you ended down that track. We heard a good Redemptorist preacher today tell us about battling our predominant fault. Truly removing occassions of lust is only part of the battle. Lust is truly a vice that can quickly lead to despair and mental disorders. You want to root it out by its very roots- self love.
Love of ease is the particular attachment to the predominant fault of lust which comes from gluttony and curiousity. So, of course, you also want to fast and mortify your mind of curiousities. Instead you want to fill your mind with the writings of the saints. The Live of the Cure' d'Ars, by Trochu for example. Many of these good books are found inexpensively at http://olrl.org. It is hard to get to Heaven. Those who don't take this job seriously lose their soul forever. If you keep busy doing productive things (ie helping at a pro-life center, picketing abortion mills, visiting at an elderly home, etc) and keep custody of your eyes, you will focus more on the needs of others. By fasting, you will drive out terrible self-love which chokes the love of God in one's soul. And of course by doing these difficult things, you will prepare yourself for your spouse, whether that be a certain man or the Church herself in a religious order or vocation.

i am a 19 year old female. i have struggled with lust and masturbation for a long time. At the age of 11 after being introduced to masturbation and porn by my friends, I began to masturbate and watch porn. i am happy to say i that i have now been able to fight the temptation of masturbation and watching porn. i have been clean for almost 4 months. however i still have a very lustful mindset. things on tv, music, or random thoughts cause me find myself in a lustful state. sometimes i am able to fight these thoughts, but more times than not i cant fight it and find myself submerging into these thoughts. it even causes me to aroused. i have cleaned up my life in many ways but this is one of my most difficult battles. i pray regularly, read inspirational messages and the bible 5 days a week at the least. i still need help to fight these feelings. i seen something on tv about a boy who has a "sɛҳuąƖ demon" inside of him. is there any way that might be true for me? any advice or guidance would be helpful for me to overcome my struggles.

also, i am in college and the temptation for drinking and marijuana are frequently around me. i have stopped smoking marijuana for over 3 months but still often have the temptation to. i feel as if i'm missing out by not partying thru my college years. because i do want to have those experiences, but i know it is very wrong. i would appreciate all the help and guidance i may receive.

"saintly," in that you conquer satan at the end of your life.

It is impossible to be perfect.

In order to get to heaven, appeal to the Blessed Virgin. She will not let you fail when it really matters.

If you want to appeal to the Blessed Virgin in the best manner possible, pray to Saint Joseph for his help. He was the most devoted person to Mary that has ever walked the Earth. Ask him to guide you in appealing to her, and she will thus save you from hell and bring you to Christ.

I suffer your woes, and I have not been as successful in conquering them.

Not far ahead of you vladimir. just out of high school. Hormones suck in college. Why can't we have them later?

Well, I guess it will be a cross that we will reap excellent rewards from should we master it.
