I need help

[Michael nameless]

I spent a lot of time in porn and ended up with a sexualized view of dark-skinned people! I know this is horrible and depraved, I would really like some advice on how to lose this!

I don't know what dark skinned people have to do with this.  And you don't specify what gender.

You know the deal.  Weekly confession until you stop, and that includes confessing sodomite fantasies if you have developed those.  Start saying the rosary.

I'd do some fasting and offer it up to gain the grace to grow in Fortitude.  An electonic's fast one day per week where there is no texting, no computer, no smart phone except for phone calls, and no video games is an excellent fast and you also get a good dopamine fast which is very healthy for you.

I second James; also with frequent Confession (If you have to go more than once a week, do it); frequent even daily Mass and Holy Communion. Get yourself enrolled in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel's Brown Scapular, and if possible in the Scapular of the Immaculate Conception or the "Five Fold" scapular which has the Carmel, Immaculate Conception; the Passion; the Blessed Trinity and the Seven Dolor scapulars together. Frequently meditate on the Passion and death of Our Divine Savior; avoid all places, people and things such as the internet that are an occasion of sin for you.

Avoid spending too much time alone and keep yourself busy.

Fasting is good. Make sure to say your Rosary daily( like seriously, don't b*tch out on this, it won't end well); I'd recommend a one meal skip fast. So say you work a physical job and need the energy. Eat a massive breakfast, good lunch, and skip supper when you get home. This is fasting. But if you workout I'd just eat three squares and stop eating after the last meal.

Me personally I'd hit the gym; f*cking kill yourself lifting. You go to bed too tired to think of sin; and wake up feeling pumped, rested, and ready to take on the world. (Disclaimer, this is after about two weeks lifting heavy and eating well; and sleeping minimum 8hrs: it's a struggle to get there). Say a morning offering, ask Mother Mary for purity, and get at 'er. Limit access to internet when you're alone. Put the phone down after a certain hour; use a damn alarm clock for waking up.

@james03, where would a kindle fit in here? I'm thinking of doing this electronics fast, but I'd like to be able to still read.

In my opinion, a basic kindle does not fit into the 'Electronics' category. Technically, yes, it is electronics but it's operation is passive. The one I have is offine 99% of the time.
(note: this does not apply to a kindle fire which is basically an Ipad)

If you are using it essentially to just read a book then it is really no different to a real book. Admittedly, you could get distracted into reading any number of different books on the device.

An analogy would be a Shabbat Elevator. If I was Jewish, I would use a normal elevator on the sabbath for exactly the same reason.

[Bernadette]

Never mind, I'll just get out the really strong glasses and read paper books. 

[james03]

Use the Kindle.  It will help counter your scruples to do it.

And yes, it still counts as an electronics fast, so says Desert Hermit James, the Greater Misanthrope.

Use the Kindle.  It will help counter your scruples to do it.

The Kindle's lack of a bright screen, the absence of color, and the fact that it doesn't force you to constantly context-switch does a lot to counter the abuse of the dopamine system that normally results from electronics use.

Throw the devices that feed you this pornography into the trash.

Visit YouTube or search your cable TV provider for documentaries about the late Jeffrey Dahmer. He found a solution to his problem before he died.

Pray. Avail yourself of the sacraments. Speak to a priest.
