Incrementally cut it out of your life, while I try and quit masturbation porn has not been a problem for me anymore. Using site blocker actually cause more harm then good. You should train yourself to self-restrict yourself. After that you will most likly fail which is what you want to do. Take little wins by going a day without porn, then go 2 days, then 3, then a week and so on and so on. This is what I did quitting cold turkey is possible but, if you have been doing it for years it will be harder. Every time you control your urges and progressively move in days without porn you will find it easier and easier to cut porn out completely. Juts know this takes time and that's how you break a habit thats you have been doing for years. Its about failing and recovering. That's what makes you mentally stronger. Take this with a grain of salt tho since this worked for me and might not work for you.

I'm got rid of porn several years ago. One of the best decisions of my life. It is possible!

using blockers and editing the hosts-file (a file present in every operating system, which with you can redirect sites.)
helping other people online, that are worse off than yourself - sometimes listening alone already helps
hard one but effective: opening up to friends and family
counting days, crossing days out on a big calendar
not judging yourself or pornography as a whole too much. Rather deciding from a rational and unemotional position that you want to quit.
writing yourself a letter, in which you state why you want to quit. keeping the letter near your computer. Or a video will do the same.
paradigm-shift towards a view of sexuality that is not based on pornography

This is the way

Do something with your hands. Programming, wood work, drawing. Keep them occupied.

Don't worry my friend..... We can beat it together

It seems to mess up the way your brain works, also you’re gonna keep needing stronger and stronger stimulation.

I know what you mean about the feeling that people can sense you watching and using porn. But it is just mental paranoia and insecurity.

The cost of porn addiction may be free financially, but it sucks on all of your dopamine. It can lead to a lack of natural arousal around people who you find attractive, such as your partner or spouse. That can cost you dearly.

The best way to quit porn is to have strong self diacipline. Literally you have to spend more time with other people, in situations where you aren't alone or bored, and ban devices (phones, laptops, tablets etc) from the bedroom. Try taking up hobbies and exercising more.

I use porn, at one point I was addicted. I recognise the anguish.

Only advice I can say is just keep trying. You will fail, a lot, but eventually it’ll just be a part of you. It’s been 3 years since I first tried to quit and about 1 year since I last watched it, with several periods of relapsing on the way. Don’t beat yourself up when you do relapse and just keep trying.

Block all pornography related sites on your home wifi router settings, therefore you’ll have to go through extra effort to access it when the urge comes on and most likely will be able to stop yourself or simply maybe “not be bothered” going through all the extra work around steps just to watch porn

No_Inspection_7176 · 2022-03-27T03:53:39+00:00

Is it possible to block your frequent sites entirely? Or set aside blocks of time you can use your devices so there’s less temptation there. Otherwise I’d advise having a life, get out of the house. Try going to the gym, find a group on meet ups if you don’t have a good group of friends to go out with, basically do everything you can to stay off the internet for the majority of the day. I definitely think it is mental, you feel ashamed and self conscious and naturally are going to give off “don’t talk to me vibes”

Porn used to be enjoyable, used to love scrolling, searching and watching crazy scenes but now every site is filled with trannies, think im gonna give it up for good because even reddit is being invaded, 🤦‍♂️

There are some positives with porn, like you said its easy, and relatively free Also a screen cant give you an std or get pregnant And you dont have to take your fone on a date before you get to see some titties,

That being said, watching porn is like watching cooking videos, doesnt matter how much you watch you would still be feeling hungry until you taste something real 😓

It wont be easy tho

Wish me luck guys, the longest ive gone without porn is probably one or two months

It's all in your head bro. I watch porn almost daily and it doesn't affect my game.

epimpstyle · 2022-03-27T09:52:18+00:00

You "feel" but you can not read minds - it is clear that it is in your head dude. Usually, it is difficult to say that you have less social interaction because people are looking for reasons not to talk to someone: I am not in the mood, I don't like her, she is too old/young to talk to her... but at the end of the day you realize that you haven't talked with anyone and the same scenario happens daily. It is not really due to porn, this is again in your head but, once you have a girlfriend who moved into your home, you will stop watching porn because it is nonsense looking at video/pictures when you can put your hand on it. Try to look better and always clean, be friendly, enjoy life and it will appear the outcome... everyone is finding what they are looking for.

Keep yourself busy. I masturbate most when I'm bored and have nothing to do.

2022-03-27T18:12:01+00:00

Masturbate almost daily for a month without any porn to make sure you get out of porn masturbation circle than slowly give up masturbation

generaldream · 2022-03-28T05:22:01+00:00

I went cold turkey a few weeks ago so far I have lasted but since that sounds hard for you to do that I would do better than last time. Start off every other day... then 2 times a week 1 time a week and then every other week you can break it up more if that helps like 10 days then 11 days etc... it’s a process that takes time best of luck
