Porn is beta and pathetic. You’re a man aren’t you?

Trying to go NoFap. It’s really fucking hard. And if you check my post history— I’ve given dudes some shitty advice.

You’ve been at it for two years— you should either have techniques/tricks that work for you or you are lying to yourself.

I started finding something productive to do: clean my house, push-ups since my Bench blows, study something I am interested in, clean some more, play with my dogs, literally anything to change my mind’s focus.

You know how Pook talks about Action>Thought and the phrase acta non verba gets tossed around? You can’t use your mind to stop thinking about something, but you can use your actions.

It's just your lizard brain saying, dude, if you do this thing with the clicky-thing and the glowy-thing and the clackety-clack thing, you have kids. So do it! What are you waiting for!? Don't you want kids!? The behavioral reward pathway is deep deep, so really it's just about making different choices in order to fulfill the urge.

I use my plates to avoid porn. I fuck at least 3x a week, sometimes up to 7 or more, keep my balls drained that way, and there's very little reason to watch porn anymore. Before TRP, I was masturbating at least 2x daily to porn, once in the morning and once at night, like clockwork. Even when I had a steady girlfriend, I'd watch porn and masturbate even after I blew a load in her.

So why watch porn when you can get fucking laid?

What worked for me was reading about how porn addiction rewires your brain and how that fucks up your life. Once I understood that, the urge to watch porn just went away. Don’t get me wrong, I do get horny. But I never resort to porn because I know its just a black hole which will suck my time and energy to no end.

To answer your question about how long did it take - I think it took me only a couple of days of reading. That’s all. I never went back to porn. As of now I am going 7 months and strong.

You mean, urges..... because you have a sex drive?

Why aren't you approaching more women and spinning up more plates? Stop sabotaging your sex drive.

If you had 2-3 women who you were fucking good and were fucking you good, you wouldn't be asking this question, I think.

Yeah, sure. If you want to cut down on porn nobody is going to argue with you here. Go for it. But obsessing about your porn use and your "urges" isn't going to get you fulfilling satisfying intimacy you really need.

Best way to avoid porn is getting laid. When youre not getting laid, try to channel that energy into something productive or worst case jerk off no porn.

The day I've decided to stop watching porn was a bit more than year ago. I didn't felt strange because I was determined to try it out and to see is it really true about it. I didn't stop masturbating though, I only reduced to once I week because I didn't had girlfriend to have sex with.

I did couple of times try to take it longer and the once I was able to hold almost twenty days. I was feeling so tense, I couldn't concentrate, I was aggressive and people I work with, as well as my customers noticed it and they asked what's wrong with me. I know that I have a high sex drive, and holding out wasn't really a solution for me. And the wet dreams was killing me, I felt terrible day after.

I started to watch porn for a short while a couple of months ago to see whether it's really true about what they say it about porn. I started to feel desperate again, I was only thinking about sex, depression started to slowly kick in - and I only watched porn once a week for a couple of weeks. This is when I realized that this shit is really bad for person, at least it's bad for me. Someone else might not feel anything and would be perfectly fine watching it.

As with anything you have ever done a lot of or have been addicted to there will always be urges. For the rest of your life.
