Romans 1:21-25 CSB For though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts were darkened. [22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools [23] and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles. [24] Therefore God delivered them over in the desires of their hearts to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves. [25] They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served what has been created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen.
Addiction is idolatry.

Dear Lord, please help me not to desire to look at a women with curiosity or lust. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
I admit all my looking has lust which is adultery and also idolatry. Adultery because of what Jesus said, "You have heard from of old, 'Do not commit adultery' but I say that whomever looks at a women to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart'"
Adultery is sexual fantasy sexual curiosity in the heart and mind. And in Romans 1 humans are charged with worshiping the creation rather than the Creator.
There's no escaping it. I must confess that according to God, I have committed adultery and I have committed idolatry. This is a shame to my profession of faith. This is a shame to my walk and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Why do I see people as flesh and not spirit? It is because man looks at the outward apperance and God looks at the heart.
How can I see people as Jesus does?
I pray "Dear Lord, I am an adulterer and idolater at heart and mind. My desire is for selfish sexual pleasures that I am seeking all women to seduce me, because I worship them. Lord, I worship these female creatures that You have made and I have been addicted to their looks. I worship the women’s body and also worship my own. Lord, I want this to end and I can't stop it. I can't stop lusting and sexual fantasizing because I truly do not want to stop and I just want to keep it. Lord, I confess this is my wicked heart state and I am not fooling anyone. Lord, how can a sinner repent and belief in You? If there is a way, please show me the way. Please give me another chance and please forgive me and have mercy on me. Lord, I am a pervert. And You know it and so do I. I am noy fooling anyone. Do you love me still Lord? Satan hates me, the Bible says You love me,but honestly I think I don't believe it because of my constant sin. This makes me feel like a hypocrite and not truly one of Yours. Lord, I feel when others tell me about You that they ate only trying to be nice or some other motive and I struggle to accept Your grace. I don't like whom I've become. Lord, they said that I'm human and Your Word, calls me a sinner, and Your Word also says that some sin more so You might be gracious more and Lord I know this argument is refuted already in Your Word. Lord Your Word also says that some have turned God's grace into a liscense to sin and that they are perverting Your grace and teaching a false grace. Lord, please help me. Please hear my cry. Please rescue me because I don't want to continue like this. Lord I don't know how to relate and understand others and am proud, mean, and bitter. Please forgive me dear Lord Jesus. I need You. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

I pray in Jesus name. Amen. Hey Brother, God has forgiven. I have said a prayer like yours many times. I felt so helpless. That’s not to say we should take God’s Grace for granted. We shouldn’t. Romans 6 makes that plain. However, The Lord looks at the heart. I am not really worthy to tell you all of this. One thing I do know, “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:9 NLT You would be telling me the same thing if the situation was reversed? LOL! Anyway, be encouraged! Don’t give up! Praying for you. Also, pray for me.

How can I see people as Jesus does? I can't. But Jesus also said if my eye offends me, to pluck it out. Which means I don't look. Just because Jesus can look at all women with absolute purity doesn't mean that I can or should be able to. Jesus didn't promise me that I could get His help to look at all the women without lusting. He only said to pluck it out. I, like you, am such a pervert. When I look, I go from zero to pervert in less than a second. So I don't look. Today, I did not lust because I did not give myself permission to look. Lots of opportunities. Toxicity level 4. But I knew that if I looked, I was going to lust. And I know what lust does. I'm not talking about what lust does to God. Or to my wife. Or to the woman I'm lusting after. I'm talking about what lust does to myself. It's not good. Turning the women around me into porn directly hurts me, my relationships with others, and my relationship with God. And since I can't be like Jesus or others by looking at the women without lusting, it's just easier for me not to look period. So I don't. I can see women better if I don't look at them. A whole lot better.
