"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God." I Thessalonians 4:3-5
Sexual sin is a real issue for these days, especially for young people. Yet it is those hidden areas such as this which rarely see the light of day because people are often too ashamed to speak of them.
Over the years, various young people have posted or sent comments on this blog asking for prayer about masturbation. Therefore, if the sphere of individuals with whom the Lord has let me come into contact are dealing with such issues, then I know it must be relevant for a broader audience.
If openly discussing such topics offends you then I am sorry....sorry for you that is. Sorry that you have chosen to create for yourself a make-believe world of "salvation" which is too pristine to be touched with such issues as sin. Sorry that your "Christianity" doesn't have enough Christ to engender compassion for those struggling with such real life issues.
Jesus washed the feet of His disciples; yet, some "Christians" are too "saved" to get their hands dirty serving others in the hopes of bringing them into deeper fellowship with Jesus. Let it not be said of us. Not everything about Christianity is sunshine and roses. The truth be told, Jesus is redeeming us from an old sinful nature with its own corrupt and defiled desires. These must be dealt with. If we cannot discuss sin, how can we ever hope to bring such persons struggling with it to salvation?
The following video was shared with me yesterday. It is the testimony of a young lady named Dameco about being freed from masturbation. I pray that it encourages those who may be struggling and gives them the assurance to know that all things are possible with God. Jesus is our Savior, which means He is our Deliverer; and He is faithful! You can be free from sexual sin by the blood of Jesus!

I thank you so much for posting the video it answers a few troubling questions about this issue of masturbation that I've had all my life.
I never knew or thought that girls would have a need to masturbate.
I never also though that girls were sex addicts.
I also never thought I would actually see a video like this on this major taboo subject.
Thank you you are very courageous for coming out in public like that, I certainty wouldn't! I don't have the balls of steel like you do!
BTW, I don't think of you any less nor do I judge you, I know what you're talking about, because I am 50 yo and I still suffer from this...love you girl..you're a friend in my book..
Hi Anonymous,
This is not actually Dameco's blog, although I too believe she was extremely brave to be so open about this topic. The contact info for Dameco is at the end of this video, so please feel free to send her a note via that means.
Yes, male or female, sexual sin (or any sin for that matter) knows no gender bias. This just further illustrates why we need Jesus. There is no reason why we should live in bondage and torment when He has paid the price to make us free.
I pray that Dameco's testimony encourages all struggling with sin to be mindful of the power available in Jesus to overcome it.
Thanks for commenting!
Thank you for posting about this. Before reading Derek Prince's book earlier this year, I didn't know that this was something that could possibly require deliverance... though I had my suspicions.
On another note, I retraced some steps and found my old blog. The original name I used was broken_rhyme. I've been posting at livejournal and co-moderating a Christian community there since 2008(changed name to broken_skai there). But I think I'm going to try and salvage this older blog... no posts there since 2008. Looking back, its hard to believe I wrote all that stuff. (Which I feel I need to delete seeing how as I am no longer that man.)
But again, thank you for the encouraging post.
God Bless.
