I Came to Confess My Habitual Sin

Hi r/Christianity! I've been on this subreddit for while now. The page is motivating for it's prayer requests, questions asked, and confessions/stories of becoming saved shared. It's a bit embarrassing to share on here, but hey, it's the internet. Laugh all you want; I'm struggling with chronic masturbation. Some of you might think,

"It's normal for teenage boys; get over it." "What kind of a confession is this? It's not as bad as people who've experienced worse."

I hate viewing women as sexual objects; God has made women as his beautiful creation. Why.. why am I using a body part in such a selfish and disgusting way? I constantly questioned myself why I can't stop masturbating. I've been reading his word and praying daily. Are my quiet times not sincere? I've been addicted to porn/hentai since 7th grade. Now I'm a Senior in High School. Guys.. I'm sorry if this isn't a serious confession, but I have the urge to share this... I need prayer! Masturbating has been a habitual sin that I need to overcome. I've tried to convince myself to avoid it by also researching the harmful effects of masturbation, but I can't hold it for long. The yearning to masturbate is as bad as the temptations of doing so while I'm typing this prayer request/confession. Brothers and Sisters, I need your prayers to fight this struggle... It's a phase that I need to overcome. For those who've went through the same struggle, can you share your experience of dealing with the lustful thoughts and actions? How you've overcame them. You don't have to feel obligated to share if it's embarrassing, but it'll help this hormone filled teenage boy out :) Thank you!
