People forget that what makes a man is not just physical brute strength, or not showing your emotions, but what makes a true man, is not only the mentioned above, but also discipline, emotional strength, the ability to cry or open up without feeling ashamed because your a man, and the ability to open up and take advise, putting your ego aside and listening to what others advise you, because a man can have all the strength speed and fighting ability, but still loose to his temptations, and beat himself up over those loses, because he never trained what's inside, only outside, so when he looses mental battles, after always winning physical one's, he destroys himself to rock bottom.
I am 15 and I have never masturbated or purposely viewed pornographic content. I’m glad one the things my mother taught me before she passed away was how horrible masturbation and pornography was for me. It’s been hard ever since I started puberty last year and began feeling hormonal changes and urges, but I stayed disciplined and fled lust. Turning to god and the Bible helped me so much, and I hope whoever is reading this can overcome lust.❤
Honestly bro just keep going. The amount of times I've lusted and done things which I am not proud of is too high to count and remember. Please keep the current state you are in and don't ever let lust take you. The most important thing is to keep following God and letting him transform you according to his will. Please keep believing and please don't hurt him on the cross by further commiting that sin.
Hey bro 15 year old here too. I got exposed to it through my cousins and older brother. It truly sucks man. I am so glad you haven’t lost to it. I pray you continue to stay strong. I’m doing better now. Staying in Gods word and being still with him has helped me drastically on my journey to over come lust. I slip up here and there but those are just good lessons to help me on my journey.
He definitely does not but okay. You must not know any smart 75 year olds. Even a peice of shit can look like a diamond if there’s smellier, uglier shit around it
Used to watch these videos on lust all the time. I’m proud to say I’ve completely overcome it and it’s changed my life. I haven’t had a single lustful thought in months. I’ll give you guys the solution. You need to experience the joy of loving someone and having a true connection. Once you do, even after you guys break up you’ll still never to engage in lust again, because it will never be as good as loving someone.
This is the exact solution, though sometimes the environment around people may cause them to not experience that love or at least at an earlier stage in their life. Personally, i feel like it just takes patience and self-control to overcome this sin. Anyways, peace and love, have a good day.
This is FAX tho!!! Dealing with this right now! I try to go days without lusting and thinking with my downstairs mind. And cornographic images and related things all on social media.. it's litterly everywhere! But with self discipline and looking towards real connections with people or the opposite sex. It's tough but every man can relate!!
unfortunately the experience of loving someone deeply and unburdening themselves through the power of that connection is not something everyone may experience, and it's not something inherent for everyone especially those with severe trauma who didn't receive secure love as a child. I understand the power of love as being limitless, but many people mired in lust and shame crave love desperately, crave deep connection, and crave freedom of their animalistic urges. What you're saying is true but it's hardly accessible for many many people and a deep, maybe the deepest source of the grief that perpetuates their shame bodies. And the ones who are deeply stuck in these ways, the luck, opportunity, and peace of mind that comes from stumbling into this level of connection, feel incredibly out of reach, as it could be their greatest source of shame.
It really is a sad state of affairs. Youth don't need this burden.The phone has become a Pandora box in today's society. This young man is so right and on the right track.
My relationship just ended over p*rn & his lustful urges. He told me he’s a man and men either end up cheating or unhappy because they need to conquer. He broke my heart. I still can’t wrap my head around his concept of manhood. It’s heartbreaking to know that I tried everything in my power to be the best person and partner for him & it wasn’t enough to break his addiction in the cycle of lust and loneliness.
Insecurities + toxic masculinity(red pill)= your ex Sorry you had to go through that, those things he’s said are probably perpetuated by the men he’s around. All men have heard these things and it’s up to the man to have discernment and measure his priorities and he didn’t for you. He was weak minded and strong willed men exist with good morals you’ll know whenever you find one
Same thing happened to me when I was 9 months pregnant with his baby. He told me he’s not a one woman man and as a man he needs to purge his sexual desires. Our family has been broken every since. He chose the things of this world over his family. During that time, Gods love is what healed me and kept me going. I don’t want to be with a man who’s a slave to his sexual desires. I’ve been more happier since that ended. My Godly husband is coming soon, I can feel it.
Escaping the cycle of temporary desires can lead to deeper fulfillment and clarity. Focus on what truly matters, set meaningful goals, and cultivate lasting values. Your true potential awaits beyond the noise.
One thing I noticed about lust is that it's like a demom inside of me that would do anything to drag me down. It's like a different being inside my body that controls me. No matter how hard I try to fight it, it always seems to owerpower me. It forces me into that "hrny" state and once I'm in that state, I already lost the battle because then I don't think of anything else besides the rush I'm feeling. Once it's over, I snap back into the REAL me and I ask myself, did I really just do this again, after promising myself that I won't do it 15 minutes ago? I hate it, it feels as if I'm not in control
Bro... this makes so much sense! Every single time I repent, and I ask the Lord to take this from me, I forget the sin. Its as if i never did the deed, and it becomes less difficult to deal with. I am no longer burden with the memory of falling to the lust which gives way for me to fall back into it. In that moment, He frees me. I am now work with the wife to be on finding something else fun for us to do that doesn't leave room for us to fall back into lust and do things before their appointed time. This is dope! Thank you for your obedience
i’ve been struggling since i was a jit, and it’s hard, it kills me inside to always feel this way, so much negativity has stemmed from that, i haven’t had the best relationship with god, i feel like he’s planting this in my life rn. thank you making this video
Thank you for this message. I’m running from lust as it has been wrecking my life. I started diet, exercise, and focus on career and goals. I want quality relationships. I appreciate your reflection and advice!
Men, I never thought I would need something like this to finally open my eyes. I lost my father 3 years ago and I never felt the same since. I made lust take controll of my mind and I've fallen for so many traps and did some disgusting things that I'm self conscious now after years of doing so. You opened my eyes and I wanna thank you for that. Keep the good work and never stop teaching us for the good. I want to be a better person just like you are.
I didn't exactly need this video at first because I am already overcoming lust but the last 10 minutes of this video really changed my thoughts on not only lust, but every person I've ever spoken to. Thank you so much again, Shimon. You never fail to enlighten
Its hard not to see people as means to an end. especially when you want what they have. but sexual pleasure is temporary. love is forever. there are people in my past that have long forgotten my name. But I remember the love they showed me, even if it was just for a second, even if it wasn't even romantic or sexual in nature. Ever since I started seeking this love and abandoning lust, my heart has been touched by music in specific in a way it just wasn't before. These musicians will never know my name. But I love them deeply. And I love you Shimon. Your videos are bread for the soul.
nothing but facts man. i wish i could watch this whole thing but i gotta be up tmmr morning mad early. its like everything ive been thinking about as a jumble of concepts is getting spoken back to me in an extremely coheremt and relatable manor. you got a gift.
Honestly that was emotional man! It deeply resonated with me, and if there was one man i could meet and shake hands with it would be you, just from this one video ❤️🙏🏻
while watching this video i got an ad about how women want us to f with them, you’re right, lust is everywhere, we have to run from it, great video this really helps
I was really close to doing it again today, right before my workout. I stopped myself by thinking “what am I doing?” And why am I doing that, I will not be defeated by this again
Shimon is such an emotionally intelligent man 😭. The way he uses his words is so understandable and easy to follow. And the way he talks to you makes you feel like he's having a 1 on 1 conversation with you.
Your channel is the needle in the haystack, but you really have so much wisdom. I just turned 23 and you know what's up. Thank goodness we can find this wisdom while we're young
I had this in my last relationship where lust had driven me and when lust was finally gone so was the love I thought I had for her, and the same for her. After watching this video I've taken a new perspective on my past relationships and how to apply it to my future.
Thanks shimon. I learned a lot today. I gotta stop counting days I gotta love myself and others. I gotta flee from lust. And I gotta grow in my relationship with God
As a man who has control of his lust and sees things for what it is. I genuinely hope you find a man who cares about you as an individual and not seeing you as something he can use for his pleasure. It’s rare nowadays, many mfs have hidden motives.
Thirst trap are the worst. I deleted IG like 10 days ago, ive been outside more. Ive reduced hours watching lustful videos down to like maybe an hour if not less total all week. Cause yeah im still struggling but im doing good for one week in. I used to edge... spending like an hour minimum and used to do it twice a day daily now im good at like every other day or third day. It helps ive found faith. So i feel like the lord is watching so it keeps me from doing it
Thank you Shimon. I don’t usually comment on videos at all but you have really open my mind to a new way of thinking. God lead me to you after lust and it had me thinking as I was watching and you have a powerful voice. God spoke to me through you and reviled to me what I was doing wrong. I wan to thank you. Every video I’ve watched of yours made me rethink old bad habits and sins I usually indulged in. I’m truly grateful for you and for Jesus being here. You helped this soldier here rethink his life. God Bless you brother many blessing❤
Thank you. I've been watching your channel. I have struggled with addiction even with having an amazing relationship with the most gorgeous and sweetest woman ever. I still come up short but I've been starting my journey. Got a counselor and therapist, and some other resources to help me along the way. I appreciate finding you, your videos, and hearing your words. I hope to make this recovery.
I love how your videos are like food for thought kind of like a book instead of all of the trash that is seen on social media left and right. I feel that when I watch your videos I have more knowledge afterwards, similar to how I would feel after reading a self-care book. These videos genuinely feel like a deep conversation with a wise friend. Thank you Shamon
Thank you and I am about to be 20 . I needed to hear this to help my journey. I appreciate you and everything you have helped guide me through. And Self Love is So important
This man is so smart so blessed. Keep opening eyes because you surely opened mine. I always wanted someone to just sit me down and tell me what’s and what’s right . I wasn’t led to your channel by mistake. I overcame porn now I am trying to overcome addiction.
It all breaks down to CHOICES! ! ! The choices we make in life. Be careful what you entertain, what you give your attention to! ! ! We always have CHOICES! ! !
the way you think and feel is so similar to me and i really appreciate you putting out your videos, it helps me process my emotions without getting overwhelmed or dismissive. Thank you
i don’t even know if you believe in God at all, but wow. Your knowledge is actually mind blowing. And it’s true, you speak about this issue exactly parallel with what the Bible says about it
like the others are saying, when you relapse find out why. think about the condition you were in when you relapsed, think about where you were, think about the lighting, think about why you justify it. Sometimes it just gets in your head, and you have to physically tell it to get out like you're a schizo, and practice never giving in it to it - if you relapse think about everything above then challenge yourself, really challenge yourself, to avoid those things, then challenge yourself to go longer, until it doesn't consume you anymore. you got this bro
Don’t see your failure as something to be mad at yourself about see them as something that happens to the best of us and just distract yourself read a book or go outside go workout just anything to get your mind off it even calling a friend and don’t believe you’ll fail at any point realize you got it
I've been tuning in on your videos on my other account lately and this is the first time I ever posted a comment and all I want to say is thank you Shimon from the bottom of my heart. Usually, I keep to myself as I don't want pity from others, but for context, my life hasn't been the best lately. I struggle with self-care, self-love, and self-respect since middle school. I especially struggle with pornography. I tried watching and reading various videos and articles to find that "aha moment" to quit and better my life, but I always seem to come back to my old ways. I constantly expect and wait for a day where all of a sudden, I decide to quit my bad habits for good and improve my life, but that day never comes. Time flies. The cycle never ends. When I first stumbled upon this video, I didn't really expect much of it, just another broad and vague self-improvement video of how to quit lust and porn, but when I stayed for the whole 30 mins, it felt like a real conversation, like you were actually talking to me. Not only that, but you went into detail about the human mind and what I realized is that I been fighting my urges for so long, never running from it; that some battles aren't meant to be fought. I also noticed that I been too focused on what I don't want than what I do want, which is something I never thought about before. I also need to replace my bad habits with good ones, as well as changing my environment, exerting my energy on positive things and staying consistent. One last key takeaway that I took from this video was what if that person that I was lusting over for was somebody that I cared/loved for? What if they were going thru something just like me? They are human just like me. They have feelings and emotions just like me. I shouldn't dehumanize them for my own pleasure because I wouldn't want to be dehumanized by somebody else. I should have compassion for others. I felt guilty and disgusted with myself afterwards. There is a whole lot of other factors that u mentioned as well, but I wanted to mention those especially because they were really an eye opener for me. I'm not good with promises at all, but after today I want to do better because I know I can. I want to start small then go big afterwards to chase my dreams and live my life at its fullest. I will come back to this video whenever I am at my lowest to remind myself. Once again, thank you Shimon. Please continue to upload these videos and continue being you. You are amazing. I hope you continue to inspire and uplift people like me and I hope you continue to live a good and memorable life.
living as an asexual man in this lustful world, you feel detached from everyone and its strange. your not designed to be here and its difficult to understand why people do things for pleasure. there's no need to overcome the beast because you were born without it. The world has certain expectations for you to be extremely lustful and behave a certain way to achieve that lust but that just flat out isn't who you are. sometimes I feel like I'm just watching the world from the outside all by myself because I don't have anyone else in my life with this same experience
It’s good and necessary for people like you to point out or state these differences to remind this society that expectations and simplicities don’t work for others. Although I do strongly relate to this video. There’s a very clear societal & social media problem that a lot of people had normalize too much these recent years. Society has these categorizations such as, extroverts/introverts, gen z/millennials, Black/white, emotional/logical, etc. Like that 2D non complex thinking of society that outside realities out of their own “normal” expected explanations, simple assumptions, desires, struggles, problem developments, (like for you it’s the irrelevance to lust) , classes to sort people in, don’t exist. They think you’ll belong to some of there explanations but classifying people aren’t even accurate or truthful enough to define someone’s unique way of being. It just doesn’t work at all for some. So in that part I can guess why it may be strange. Like something most people don’t considerate at all is my misophobia from noises of people chewing, exaggerated yawns or speaking with their mouths fulls of food🤢I noticed a time where there existed a lot of ASMR uploads of typically females eating and chewing on foods through their microphones and somehow that’s relaxing or pleasurable to some audiences but to me that’s hell.. Those noises are like the most disgusting things imaginable in existence but in the form of sound so it’s extremely unbearable for me to hear because it’s torture. But my brain couldn’t and still can’t comprehend that some people find it pleasurable. It’s like finding unpleasantness pleasurable but apparently there is people that find pain pleasurable or things that unpleasant us, pleasurable. Which sort of blows my mind because the difference it’s big and I know this example I’m giving might not relate to you but that’s one of my indifference from every day things that I don’t understand from people like why do they enjoy nasty sounds or pain.
I swear brother, your videos have been a huge help to me these past few weeks. I really hope to become someone like you someday. Inspiring and helping people out with just a camera and the power of your words. Damn good stuff 👌
How powerful. You have taken the most beautiful outlook on our lustful desires and broken it down into something so simple. Your emphasis on lust being most dangerous as it comes from zero source as well as FEELING before our physical senses are involved really struck a chord with me (and that’s putting it lightly) - You are absolutely doing the Lord’s work.
your vids help a lot man ive been watching for a while and slowly im sorting myself out, tidy room, got a job, physical and mental health good and ur vids helped me get here real spill
I want to look in the mirror and see someone I can be proud of. I want others to look at me and be inspired. I want all of you reading this to succeed. Incredible video!
I am so glad your videos came across on my feed. You are such a wise young person -- much more wise beyond your years. I just wanted to say please, keep going on these videos. They're so important, and you have such beneficial and helpful messages for everyone. Thank you for the messages you share with all of us. ❤
A common misconception told by most motivational speakers is that you can defeat or overcome lust. Once you’re alive you can never defeat lust, you can ONLY flee from it, when it comes you run, you occupy yourself by doing something that takes your mind off of it, lust is a lifetime enemy and you will succumb to its temptation at some point but that doesn’t mean you should always allow yourself to be consumed by lust whenever attacks. Be observant and run when you see it coming your way. The Bible said it best, “flee from lust and sexual immorality”. Never face lust head on because 9 times out of 10 you will lose. Great message by the way ❤
Ty sir for everything I’m 14 my father left when I was young and as an only son I constantly have all this pressure from my mom to do more than I feel I can handle then when I just want to sit down and enjoy life she just don’t like to see me smiling
Your video came to me at the perfect time. Just yesterday I fell victim to lust. You’re an angel brother thank you for your wisdom, you definitely helped me.
thank you for posting this. my fiance was paying for his ex girlfriends content. it has killed me to no extent because i have given up lust. it killed my relationship with the man i thought i was going to marry.
Glad that I found your channel, bro. I’m a prurient human being. I remember being the part of this stupid generation. You know..those crazy body counts. Seducing guys, giving them traps. If they fall for it, I’ll cheat with multiple of them. That was my rebel empire. This social media is draining to the point that I wanted to be like them. I wanna try those evil things until I became wicked. This year, the karma hit me. I tend to be mean and laughed at the unserious situations before which is unacceptable human behavior. This karma is my lesson. What I did to others come back to me. I suffered a lot. I quit all of my socials. I return to God and repent for my sins. I am so DONE with all of this. The only thing that I have in my phone are RU-vid and Contacts. I sorrounded myself with real people (family). When I return to God, the thing that I noticed was I am alone like friendless. Though, I need none of them but God and my family.
This is a scam no one fall for this comment there's no such book like that I searched on Amazon audible on Google it just give you a website which it's red flag 🚩🚩🚩

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." -Romans 12:2
I love your vibe, man. I don't agree with the bulk of the topic but I like hearing other points of view. Good on you for starting this and speaking your truth ❤
I like This dude a lot. He speaking facts, and he says it passionately. I found him from his “maybe loneliness is the answer.” And I could feel that video so much. And one last thing I mess with this guys hair😄
This man speaks volumes of wisdom. In the most respectful way, you sounds like an old man brother, some serious serious wisdom within you. On a side note, lust is satans best weapon, it's literally what made angels fall from heaven in he book of Enoch, to fornicate with women of earth. Brothers and sisters, I love you all, and Jesus Christ loves you so, so much more than you can even fathom, and I mean I truly promise that from the bottom of my heart. I struggle with lust but through prayer and fasting, God holds my hands and guides me I'm breaking these chains. You don't have to believe, but just know it is all real, and the Holy Spirit is out there right now, let him into your heart and see how good God is
i was in a relationship for 5 years the foundation we had to the start was sex. That's how it started. I grew to love this person more and more the longer we were together, but i truly think she just "loved" the attention she was getting on a daily basis. She knew I had put her on a pedestal and would do anything for her. As time went on we had our arguments and became too much for her, there were all these conditions and standards that started to come out and honestly they were there the whole time and she just never pressured it until the end ; Until I stopped giving her sex and being the slightest bit distant, she'd never want to talk about our relationship deeper than the surface level and that always scared me. Here I am today trying to find real love in people and its so difficult because you can never guess their true intentions. These videos you make give me a little more clarity in my moral compass so thank you.
Nothing but truth here 👂🏾Lust can destroy you, it inhabits your mind, will, & emotion. Get your souls back in order, don’t let the urges of the flesh starve your spirit
At times when lust hits hard it really feels like I'm stuck and put back at square one and praying and repenting is one thing you don't stop doing and it's hard trying.
