You articulated so well many of the feelings I have, even as someone married for many years, happily b"h, with the very blessings you describe, but still have that deep longing. I would not project that onto you, as you are single, however there is something to think about there if these longings are a product of something else going on in our psyche, and not necessarily the dearth of these actual relationships. Food for thought.

It’s hard to know, especially since I’m single, and then everyone explains these emotions as the natural desire for marrige.
And I do beleive that, very much.
But you raise an important point.
Some pshatim could be: The unsatiable desire of the neshama for kirvas HaShem. In which case, lechora, better learning/davening would help.
And יש לדון if we’re such baalei madreiga that we’re in touch with the תשוקה of the neshama. Or if we’re depriving our Nefesh of Ruchnius so it’s starving...
It could also come from a lack of appreciating what one has and always feels lacking. Rav Dessler discusses a similar concept in kuntres hachesed, about the ״כח המשיחה״.

Perhaps plain old loneliness?

Why? I pass unfiltered computers everyday here. It’s so hard. I know it’s possible but gosh, this just ain’t fun.
Why? Why am I being moser nefesh? Why am I depriving myself of such joy, the blood running through my veins, heart pumping. It’s invigorating.
Im resuming working out in the morning, but idk, it’s so so hard, and I’m thinking like wats the point, I don’t know if I have the strength...
It feels, l’havdil, like eishes potiphar is seeking to seduce me everyday, and I don’t know what to tell u guys but, I’m just not Yosef HaTzadik...

It’s not fair. Ok? It’s not fair.
Does it need to be?
Not sure.

Oy, what you are going through, the pain, the constant nisayon, the yetzer hora not letting you think straight, possibly even Him making you have resentment because it could be so much easier with filters, my heart is breaking for and for the many others in that kind of situation.

I would like to point out that now, with you being about 200 days removed from the last time you masturbated/watched porn you don't actually remember what is really like.
You don't remember the pleasure, the freedom of sinning.
You also don't remember the pain, the disgust, the unhappiness, disappointment, the self-loathing, the loss of freedom, of serenity, of self control, of self esteem, of self confidence and that horrible feeling that comes as just when you are finishing to masturbate, when the semen is still rushing out when you lose your entire sexual desire in one second but you're still doing it....

Read through your thread, see if you've described your feelings at different stages and use that to help you grow and grow more than anyone can possibly fathom this bein hazmanim

Hi,
YG you have one thing that you are more special then all of us.
In pesachim (don't remember which daf ) it says that there are three people that hakudosh baruch hu calls on them every day. one of them are a single who lives in the city and doesn't sin and rashi says that a single with so many nisyonos surrounding him and he doesn't sin is such a big thing that he himself calls on them so there it is fair!!!

How a person can exercise such discipline especially at such a young age is beyond me. It's mindboggling and flabbergasting. The mark of a real איש. The mark of real אמת. The mark of a real 'עבד ה. !כל הכבוד

Thank you all for the kind words and chizzuk.
I was able to force myself to chazer an amud with Rashi twice.
And then I played with my younger brother who was downstairs.
I will say that I went to my fathers computer in the attic to be nichshal but bh wasn’t...

My parents are back home now.
Its hard cuz my dad won’t put filters on his computers and they are always unlocked in the attic. And my brother has a computer in the bedroom next to mine.
And we have a lot of TVs which have YouTube access and it’s impossible to block (after speaking to the company), so it’s hard.

The only way I can get through this is with all you guys and the support on and off the site.

Thank you all and tizku l’mitzvos!

You are an incredible hero and deserve tremendous credit. May Hashem protect you.

When I am faced with temptation, I've thought to myself that if YG (who is a bochur and lives in an environment not conducive to "streaks") is clean then I can't just give in. Please continue to be there for us.

yeshivaguy Current streak: 6 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1493 Karma: 148	I held on chevra, bh. Was standing in front of a laptop... And walked away. I did touch myself a shtikl last night though didn’t masterbate. Its important in these situations to not give an inch to the yetzer cuz then it’s much harder, but I won’t dwell on it and will move on. Have a great day!
