I used to struggle with lust and pornography.
When you first try to get away from it, you may need multiple strategies to break free.
1. Renew your mind. We cast down our sin at the thought level where it begins. Realize that you may need to give up any forms of entertainment that are lustful in nature or things that encourage sin.
2. Realize that Christ gives us the power to overcome any and all sin. Scripture promises that we won't be tempted above what we are able to bear but God provides a way of escape.
Look for that way of escape every time you want to look at your fetish stories.
3. A quick verse to regroup may help. Mine is Psalm 119:11 Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.
4. Try to keep busy. Do something productive.
5. Classical music turns your brain off from sexual thoughts.
6. Maybe use your computer or smartphone in an area where other people are.
7. Get enough sleep. Sometimes sleep is that way of escape.
8. Realize that porn is something people turn to alter our feelings. We don't want to be bored, or lonely, or sad, so porn is just there at the click of a button. But we need to learn to have a personal relationship with Jesus so that we take these things to Him. Just talk to Him like you would a friend.
It's worth fighting for to have a clear conscience before God and overcome the sin in your life. There is such a freedom beyond it. You have a purpose and God has assignments for you. Break free of this and go do His Will.
