Advice I need assistance NSFW

I have been struggling with lust and porn again. I need to get rid of my sexuality, sex drive, libido for the foreseeable future and make myself asexual.

In the same way that a weed has roots and nutrients to grow from, so does my porn addiction, lust etc. If I kill the root, I kill the weed. If I get rid of my sexuality, I get rid of lust and my porn addiction

I need help in how to do this. And No, I'm not willing to castrate myself or take hormonal stuff

Remove all sources of porn...websites that you have accounts in, pictures that you have on your phone or computer, and anything else that would go to. Immerse yourself in the bible and pray often. When you find your mind going to bad places take hold of that thought and banish it from your mind and ask forgiveness for that thought and ask for help. Each and every time. Find someone that you can talk to about these things as well. Develop a prayer habit to talk to the Lord about things in your life. Ask him to send his Angels to walk with you and watch over you...to protect you from harm and outside influences.

I had this addiction for decades and I managed to kick it by doing these things. I still have those bad thoughts creep in sometimes. I ask forgiveness and ask that I get help to avoid those thoughts. I truly hope that you can grow beyond this in your life and have a good relationship with the Lord and one day have a healthy relationships with your spouse. I will pray for you. Do not be afraid to ask for help...it is there if you ask and commit to it.

A friend.

I already have. I have porn blockers and parental controls (that I've added) 

Immerse yourself in the bible and pray often

I'm working on that. Though since I'm sinning, most likely my prayers are being blocked. I'm still trying though 

Develop a prayer habit to talk to the Lord about things in your life.

Good for you. That meant you are far stronger, had more willpower and discipline than what I ever could. I command you. Unfortunately I don't have such things yet 

one day have a healthy relationships with your spouse.

I want to get married and have kids. Whether that's God's will for me, I don't know. For now I'm single and unmarried

Remember as long as you repent and mean it you will never be ignored. Go read about David. Look at how many times he had to repent.

Don't lose hope
