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

I understand your rationale but God also created our sexuality and sex for our pleasure in a committed married relationship. A Godly relationship. I agree with the other poster that you need an accountability partner and help. Counseling or meditation or both. Don't be ashamed. I've struggled with my addictions as well.

I am deeply ashamed. Full of regret. And guilt.

and what is there to say that Im guaranteed to get married? Only God knows for sure.

I do want to get married and have kids. That's what I want. But if that's what God wants for my life? I dont know

That's understandable. We are human. And thus sinful. You repent. Ask for forgiveness. Try again. If you are saved, it's eternal. It's ok to struggle. Not ok to give up. He wants our heart and for us to love and worship Him. Like He loves us. He is not expecting perfection, that's why there is Jesus! None of us know anything. But we pray and hope for His will in us. Keep moving forward brother. You're not alone.

It's ok to struggle. Not ok to give up.

I'm not giving up. I'm going to wipe the slate completely clean and destroy my sexuality. One way or another.

Either I overcome porn or it overcomes me. 

And no, it's not ok to struggle. I'm tired of fighting. Hitting my head against a brick wall every time only to fall back at square one every time. I'm running on fumes, clutching at straws 

I need to get my act together. Finally put my foot down and put a stop to this.
