Addicted to Porn, how to kick the habit?

[tomwesten27]

Whats happening guys? I know that every single guy on this site watches, or has watched porn at one point in there lives.

I am going on 27 and the past few months I started realizing I am watching massive amounts of porn…I am talking like jacking it 4x a day lol. I have no idea what is making me so horny and crazy.

I get sexx at least twice a month, I wake up, hit the gym, eat healthy etc etc. but when I have "time to kill" I source to jacking it.

The crazy part is that regular man on woman stuff isn't doing it for me anymore. I gotta look up more unique crazier crap..

I gotta kick the habit…opinions, advice please! :crazy:

Spin more plates dude, you need to get out there and dont get your sex drive used to jacking off. Try to only do it twice a week on two days, if your horney go hit the streets and approach girls allday and set up dates. F*cking girls is the only way bro

 

[Bible_Belt]

You could find a girl who likes to watch porn with you.

It's ironic you would post that considering the name of this site. There's a movie called Don Jon. I highly recommend you watch it. It's not to teach you any lessons or anything but it's just a funny movie and somewhat of your situation.

I've been there man.

The reason you are doing this is because you are unhappy with yourself. Spinning plates won't help because like you said you are already getting sex and prefer porn to women.

Therapy will be a good option but at the end of the day, you have to figure ou why you are lackin in self esteem.

Google "your brain on porn". Digest some of the info on porn addiction/compulsive watching, and just cut it out completely.

This article helped me stop my addiction. I still view porn like once every few weeks but its no longer compulsive.

pron was my big thing with drug use. I would seriously at one point masturbate like, 10-15 times a day. I used to want to slap dudes that woudl say stupid **** like "dude, just do it once a day". I ****ING CAN'T. IF I COULD I WOULD HAVE FIGURED THAT **** OUT BY NOW


you just.. have to stop. that **** was affecting me worse than the drug use was and i'm not exaggerating. mood swings, lack of energy. fear of looking people in the eye. it's not even horiness it's compulsive behavior.


i had to basically take a week, and just watch movies all week. no work, nothing that was going to stress me out and let my body go through the cheimical changes it has to go through to get back right. AFter like 3-4 days i started to feel much better. 2 weeks later i felt like a new man i was waking up feeling like that manliest dude in the world on the dr pepper 10 commercials lol.

I, can't masturbate. at all. if i do it one time i will literally go on a string of like 10-15-20 times a day it's just how my brain is wired.

It's been years now. my wife always says "bakcbreaker i know you are fapping i just don't catch you" and i'm really not. it's possible man. but you have to tackle it. read something on your brain on porn everyday.

Listen To this dude. I went thru the same sh!t

Have you tried getting creative? Instead of porn, look at pictures of girls you know or want to game and rub one out while imagining the process of you picking them up and closing. Imagine a whole made up scenario, but make it feel real in your mind. At least by rubbing one out you are giving your imagination and subconscious something positive.

Works for me.

However, so has Public Invasion.

I have two of my favourite porn movies too. Nothing to Hide, and Talk Dirty to Me. It's fun putting them on when I have a girl(s) over.

But that's me. Follow Backbreaker's advise if you are really struggling with over-indulgence.

I bought a book some years back when I wanted to learn more of the effects of porn myself, titled, Pornified, by Pamela Paul, which I recommend.

 

[JoeMarron]

Get your girl to make it for you. Profit

 

[JohnChops]

i usually beat it atleast 15 times a day, with sand paper. 15 grit. yolo.

Keep yourself preoccupied with other things. Take up a new hobby, learn a life skill, read a book.

Can't say I went through the p0rn addiction on this scale...10-15 times a day is a hell of a lot. But I did realize about 8 months ago that it was having a negative impact on me. It was a daily habit for quite a while. So after reading some info online about p0rn addiction it really opened my eyes. Things such as guys in their 20's and 30's having ED, social anxiety issues, lack of motivation, etc. So I just quit cold turkey. No p0rn. No pictures. Nothing. Overall my self confidence has soared. I started working out regularly again. You just need to make up your mind and cut it out completely. I saw positive changes after a couple weeks. Better sleep too which was a plus because I work the night shift.

Seriously, and i am not exaggerating when I say my porn / masterbation addiction was worse than my drug addiiction. And it wasn't about sex i was getting sex. I had started masturbating when I was like, 9. I always did, but it got really bad when I got on drugs. I would get a bunch of dope and just open up like 5 windows of porn at the same time and have my DVD player going and ust masterbate to like 5 things at once lol. Then when I'd run out of drugs, I'd masterbate more to help myself feel better.


Alot of the things I associated with drug use, was not the drugs at all, it was the masturbation. The lack of energy, the being tired all the time, the extremely low self esteem, that was all masturbation. There was a while after I got clean from drugs that I was still master bating, probably more now because i had no crutch. I was 6-7 months clean off drugs and felt probably worse than I was feeling when I was using drugs and I said something isn';t right. I thought it was y diet. I thought i wasn't sleeping enough. Then i realized it was me wacking off to half a bottle of lotion a day lol.

I cut that out, and haven't looked back. But man, it's a serious issue. it gets joked about and it's something people don't like to talk about but that **** damn near took me back out on a drug spree because i was so depressed.

You're halfway there, you recognized you have an addiction. There are several steps you can take:

-Keep your curtains open, you are not gonna fap when people are watching you.

-Install a porn blocker.

-Read your brain on porn and reddit no fap posts for motivation.

-When you get horny, take a cold shower or take a walk outside.

-Talk to somebody about it IRL

-Replace your fapping with another activity.

When you relapse, don't make yourself depressed and tell yourself "Its no use I might as well fap 5 more times before commiting myself to no-fapping". Relapse will happen its unavoidable. Accept it as part of the progress and move on.

Porn addiction is a serious addiction, that will not only undermine your potential with girls, but it will undermine you potential in LIFE. A buddy of mine had a 5 year relationship with this incredibly hot girl (like smoking hot). I'd often fantasize about her and thought to myself "If I could have a girl like that, I'd be really happy" (yeah I was a typical AFC, still am but trying to get over it) She was a mutual friend of us. She had to break up with him because he had porn indicted ED. He was addicted to porn since his teens. It opened my eyes to how destructive Porn really can be. I've seen it destroy him.

Stay strong and stay safe, and remember "He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior".

Porn isn't bad. Everything in moderation. These guys on here talking about wanking off 10 times a day for 5 days in a row. These guys are the extreme. The ones who lack self control.

 

[Yewki]

Jesus I had no idea some guys actually fapped like 10 times a day. Most I've done is probably 3 or 4 and my **** hurt... how the hell could you do it 10 times, and every day?
