Please do be advised that this is a heavy topic. I understand not wanting to talk about it. It needs to be talked about. If you ever want to get in touch with me for any reason, see [my contact information](/contact).
You may be asking yourself why I am talking about this. Why lust? Because if I have struggled with it for the past 15 or so years, I know other people are.
I am going to first start with how I overcame it, then go into resources.
I struggled with impure thoughts my whole life. I never thought anything about wasting my seed - and that is the fundamental thing I was missing. By wasting my seed to porn or impure thoughts, which were a problem even when I was viewing no porn, I was wasting my life force. But there is a key component I was missing: my seed is a life force and energy. I was taught wrongly and wasn't aware of the benefits of semen retention.
The anecdotal evidence for "NoFap" is strong. Here is a video on NoFap quotes I have found interesting: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqtmPX0pQ88](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqtmPX0pQ88)
In addition to the above resources, I have found the Purity is Power by @NoFapWizards on Instagram very beneficial. Do note that the individual running this account is a Muslim.

I have also found the podcast "Overcome Pornography for Good" very helpful. Sara Brewer is a very good host who educates and does not talk down to her listeners.
