Even as a guy excited and OCD about Jesus, one struggle that has kept me humble and broken, and sometimes brought me sorrow, is my continual fight with lust. It is of no wonder that I have an internet filter so I don't fall into tempting myself with pornography online.
If you're not into Jesus and you're reading this - yeah, we Christians ain't immune from sin either. And that's why we need Jesus and dont trust in ourselves - but in what He has done for us. So its no longer about what we did or do, but all about what Jesus did by dying in our place for our sin on the cross.
So, as a guy who loves Jesus, and wants to grow more in loving and serving Him, while also serving people, I recommend Porn-Again Christian to all those who struggle with temptations to gratify the lusts of ous sinful flesh. It's a frank discussion on pornography and masturbation, by a pastor dude Mark Driscoll who loves Jesus and has come across and counseled various people stuggling with this.
I hope you will find it helpful. You can get it free to download, read online, or buy a copy of the material here.
Let's fight the good fight for purity, fam.

Thank you for this post. It's honest, true, and I find extreme respect for dudes that just man up to this struggle. The more it's exposed, the more it's brought into the light and out of the dark. Hold fast!

I've also read and recommended this book. Chapter 6 was very encouraging. For what it's worth, you can download the whole book for free.
