Try your best to quit porn addiction as soon as possible. You can try the following ways to quit it.
*Doing some sport
*Join a local community service
*Read a decent book
*Join a job which would keep you occupied (but not one which makes you stressed)
*Meditate (not yoga exactly, but try sitting down, cross your legs, close your eyes and take a deep breath from your nose and let it slowly & calmly from your mouth)
*And one other key thing is to have good friends and avoid the bad set to make yourself a better person. What's more, try your best to spend little time on the computer.

You're right, you can't do it on your own. You need Jesus Christ to help you. You might also want to find an accountability partner, perhaps someone in your youth group at church. But first, delete all the pornography off your computer and throw away your magaines and videos. Keep praying about it, and the Lord will keep you from the temptation.
I don't see the attraction myself, it is all phony and photo shopped might try going to the YMCA or health club and looking at the real thing, you are phantasizing anout other guys.

This is an addiction, and with all addictions your brain has changed. Does not matter if the addiction is a substance or what is called behavioral, the same brain changes result. Today's internet porn is nothing at all like our ancestors ever encountered, with the constant novelty and genres of extreme porn. Unlike yesterdays Playboy, Internet porn overstimulates the brain regions responsible for addiction. Your primitive brain is now in charge, and it is hard to ignore.
Stopping completely, though hard, is the only way to allow your brain to return to normal. If you continue to masturbate, focus on sensations - do not fantasize about porn. Be aware that the more you masturbate, the stronger your urges will be to escalate your masturbation, and relapse into porn. So find a balance approach.
Quitting is tough, and you will have cravings, along with good days and bad days.
You will need to replace porn with other activities, and with as much social interaction as possible. This is so important. Human contact is the key.
Using a porn-blocker will help, if you are truly serious.

you suffer from allowing yourself to enjoy what you want because of some mental block that was taught to you. Enjoy the porn, you obviously want it and that's what its for.. pleasure. You are not hurting anyone and by giving yourself a mental punishment or thinking that you have an addiction like smoking or drugs is wrong. Learn, live and be happy, most of all, please yourself and don't worry about crazy things that someone wrote or told you. A christian believes in Christ and religion is wrong if it tells you to hate not enjoy the body and life that the creator has given to you... you don't have to suffer unless that's what you really want. God gave you a choice, leave the suffering for times that you can't control.
