Dear Friend,
Thank you for your honesty. Many Christians are afraid to talk of such matters and give such simplistic unhelpful advice. I have been on the recieving end of such advice and counsel.

Perhaps , the reason is that only God's Holy Spirit can help us manage what is a natural and God- given desire. In His control, it is beautiful, but outside of His peramenters , it can be very damaging, if misused. Like, for example, fire. Fire can keep people warm, can make meat safe to eat, but it can also kill people if out of control.
Anyway, God designed the whole thing, and He knows best how to help you manage it, and will help heal any of your compulsions that may have taken root inside you .
I will pray for you, and I want to congradulate you for you courage and honesty to write in a prayer request of this kind. Many many other people struggle too. God does not love you any less, but only desires to help you control yourself , so that you do not harm yourself or others. We are all so fragile. He wants you to enjoy the benefits of sex in control.
" Dear HEavenly Father,
I thank you for this young man who thinks about such things as what you think of him and the way in which he conducts his life.
I thank you for the honesty that he has shown. I ask you to continue to insprire him to talk with YOU, to come before you and start dialouging with YOU about what is happening inside him. I pray that you open up inside his spirit a desire to be a man after your heart, who shares openly with YOU about his feelings, his desires, his needs, and his every thought.
I know that none of us can manage such a intense force such as our sexuality that is so much a part of who we are. You gave us an identity as man or woman to be an expression, a reflection of who you are.
Touch his life in a way that He knows the God who created his being is interested in having a relationship where nothing is off limits.
Other people will not be able to fully understand that which can not express, but You always know what the deeper need is.
Come and be the best friend to this young man. Set him apart for true fellowship and companionship with you.
You know exactly what He needs, and how to help him. You are the gracious One who will have compassion on Your creation. You formed us, you made us and can meet us in our every problem, need, concern.
Make Your self more real to Him than ever before. You are not a man that you should lie, but a faithful, Holy, but merciful God who wishes to be alive inside your people.
You desire us to be the men and women that are blessed to have power to be all that You want us to be. Free, and joyful and content, enjoying your grace everyday.
In Jesus Name,
Amen

Father, you said in your word that whom the son has set free is free indeed. You also said that if we confess our sin, you are faithful and just to forgive us, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Your son's blood is enough. So I pray that you will bring this young man to know you more intimately, and to understand that he is indeed free by your power. Bind the enemy long enough, O'Lord ,so that this young man might have time to learn your word and grow in a stronger relationship with you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

It's important that you draw as close to God as you possible can so that you might be able to continue walking in the liberty that God's spirit brings. "Walk after the spirit so that you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh"(Gal.5:16). Stay close to God in prayer so that you don't submit to the pulls of the flesh(Matt.26:41). And put as much of God's word in your heart as you possible can. This will also give you the strength to resist negative desires("I have hid your word in my heart so that I might not sin against you Ps.119:11). Remember, only closeness with Jesus can give you the strength to bear the fruit of holiness("If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing". Jn.15:5). And keep in mind that everytime you fall, the blood of Jesus is always there to cleanse you. Jesus paid the price for every sin. So no need to walk in guilt. There's no more guilt for those of us have been born again(Ro.8:1). A guilt complex stimulates the flesh and will always drive you right back into that sin. And finally, each day declare with your mouth that you are free in Jesus' name. Bind any spirit that may be in your area trying to take advantage of your weakness. A strong, overwhelming urge to engage in the pleasures of the flesh can be a sign of a demon in your presence. Just plead the blood of Jesus against it, and then move on. Everything is going to be ok. All of us are overcoming something.

God bless!

P.S. Don't forget to fellowship with other believers. The power of two or three will strengthen you against anything.
