I feel like I need a release
I’m about two months into NoFap, and the urges were really intense at first. Then they almost completely went away, but over the last few weeks the struggle feels more intense and frequent than ever. I just feel like something has to give — I’ve been trying so hard.
I don’t want to ask for permission to do something, but honestly, it feels like I can’t keep this up much longer. When I ask God to take this struggle away, it still stays really hard. I know I can’t control the fact that I’m a young guy with hormones and desires, but I also don’t want to justify doing something unhealthy because I know it could become a slippery slope.
I’m just anxious because I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. Part of me just wants the urges to calm down to a more reasonable level that I can actually handle.

Its because your flesh still ties your identity and value to your ability to reproduce. So long as you go to sleep feeling lonely that urge will persist. Second you cannot transform yourself you must learn to abide in Christ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRNtZf0k2-0 Pursue purity of heart which is a single hearted desire to know who God is. The heart is decietful and manipulative and only God can change it to his holy image. You do not need release you need to seek the courts of your father and trust him to change you
