Porn is other people being paid to have sex. It's 100% fake and staged.

If they weren't getting paid they wouldn't be getting laid anywhere near as much

I've only began to get girls IRL once I quit porn.

It's one of the hardest things to quit, and I quit meth. So go to your brain on porn . Com and strengthen yourself

Quitting porn has immense effects on your confidence. There's tons of testimonies of men who quit and mysteriously had way better reception by women. Even when not approaching. Some have even floated the notion that women can tell if you're strung out on porn. Porn's effect on testosterone is complex but for thousands of years in a multitude of cultures, spilling your seed has been connected to chi or life force. Today's term would probably be vibe. Famous books like think and grow rich are very clear about not wasting your seed as it is essential to crushing it in life and accomplishing great things.

I made some headway leaving porn. From me it was affecting my sleep and my studies and eventually my job.

I am an addict, so for me I had to cut my phone out entirely. Bought a LTE smartwatch and ive been dailying that thing for a while. No porn no social media. But also no camera and no QR scanner.

Good luck

It’s kinda like: What’s the point?

Porn makes the reward immediately and unnaturally available thus it draws energy to actually accomplish things out of you. This energy is very important.

Quitting porn is the best u can do for yourself. im addicted to it myself, and even tho I get girls, I hate myself for watching porn either way. Why u may ask?

Note! These reasons are based on my experience. It may not apply specifically to you, but im sure some can relate! So keep that in mind!

Reason N1: It takes away the real experience of having sex.

Reason N2: Sex 10 times better if ur stop consuming and nutting.

Reason N3: It numbs your sensations and clutter ur brain 🧠 making it harder to engage in real conversation not only with females.

Reason N4: watching porn and masturbation takes alot of ur energy that otherwise u could've used for other important tasks.

These are some of numerous reasons u should quit watching porn, if anything it damages ur brain on a deeper level.

Personal advice: Don't listen to other people when they say moderate!

If u want to quit smoking u cant moderate! The best way is to go cold turkey if the naming is correct! The reason being is if u take a cigarette a day and it happen that u get a stressful day u would by default just consume more and i won't give a duck, however if u time out quitting cigarettes in a week where nothing much is happening and setting a day (ex, Monday) to stop ✋️ and start doing it, ur proving urself u are capable. This goes bothe ways!

U relapse? Don't let it put u down, just keep on pushing through the weeks!

Good luck from a fellow addict and a smoker that tried and failed but still persisting!

Ur confidence is related to ur wellbeing!

It's funny because porn would actually motivate me to want to talk to girls so I could have sex with them.

AbbreviationsAny9759 · 2025-10-14T21:10:25+00:00

Quit porn myself due to an addiction. I can tell you now, it's a lot more destructive than many people think. People are more worried about how they're viewed when they watch porn, like "women can tell if you watch porn, I quit and now all the women stare at me..." yada yada. That experience varies from person to person.

What I'd draw your attention to is how fried your dopamine receptors become on porn. You get dopamine naturally from achieving things in life, getting a woman's number, getting a promotion, reading a book, etc. This dopamine is your drive to achieving a better life. Now when you constantly watch porn, you're giving these same dopamine hits in the span of a couple videos, completely saturating your mind with dopamine to the point that normal achievements in life don't feel nearly as good. Why would you spend an hour in the gym working out, when you can get the same satisfaction in a couple minutes watching porn? Sounds stupid, but if your mind is fried off porn, porn sounds a lot more attractive than actually doing something more productive.

The dopamine you get from porn is imo the worst part about being a porn addict. Personally, when I finally got off porn, simple things like cooking proper meals, sitting down and working for an hour straight, reading books, they all got easier to do. It was easier to stay focused because the dopamine I get from those tasks felt good again.

And personally, I can tell when I man is or isn't a porn addict. Not literally, but just an assumption based on their behavior. The porn addict is usually slower to act on things, less worried, whereas a non addict usually moves with urgency, gets things done and doesn't sit around.

Anyways, just my little rant.

Moderation is fine. If you feel addicted it might be a good idea to quit cold turkey for a while.

The difficult thing is being honest with yourself whether it's becoming too much or if it's fine

Does the consensus matter--particularly, when it consists of a lot of misstetements of fact? More importantly, there are some things you’ll have to decide for yourself.

Only watch it for the mind-blowing positions and type of body you want to find bruh.

stop playing games too man

uhohichangedmysn · 2025-10-14T22:29:52+00:00

This is one of the main reasons why I have multiple accounts. It is difficult to get anything done when a consistent barrage of porn posts specific to my fetishes is in my face all day.

Edit: Reddit Enhancement Suite allows you to easily switch accounts with one click.

I'm a firm believer that civilization is built by men driven to get women. If women just accepted every man there would be no reason to try. Men do all kinds of crazy things to improve themselves to impress women. Porn stifles this, and for this reason it is poison. It just generates "why bother? just give up an jerk off.."

EOE97 · 2025-10-15T12:32:32+00:00

Quit months ago. Good luck.

It doesn't give you superpowers but you feel a bit good about yourself knowing you've overcome it.

At least that was my case.

Nothing wrong with consuming adult porn in moderation.
