Porn addiction?

zeitdruck · 2020-10-16T18:00:52+00:00

Experienced the same. I think after consuming too much your brain just wants newer and more extreme stuff, that‘s why you start getting into weirder fetishes and stuff. The „normal“ porn ain‘t doing it no more.

The best way to stop this is to stop watching porn. I also relapsed after some stuff happened in my life but the only way out is to quit porn.

Trust me, once you stopped for a couple weeks you‘ll feel much more energetic and motivated. It‘s tough but you have to be strong.

Porn is poison to your mind. Stay away from it. Even if you relapse sometimes (it’s a horrible feeling) don’t beat yourself up. Just start your streak again and do this forever. It’ll get easier. Eventually porn will be weird to you... cus think about it, watching other people have sex is weird.

This is what happens when you fry your dopamine d2 receptors. They are numb, so you need more stimuli.

Porn is a beta behaviour. You'll keep coming back to it until you're commited to kill the beta in you.

Try fapping with no porn, I find it easier to quit like that

I once had a nofap streak of 12 straight years. Then I hit puberty.

I was really good friends with porn in my youth. 16 on to about 23. I had one relapse. .

I can say that I traded one addiction for another. So now I lift like an insane person 5 to 6 days a week. And I started making my own porn. It turned into a challenge to get girls to do the stuff I see on porn.

I still think porn re-wired my brain. Because I'm not into vanilla shit, but if on a rare occasion I watch porn, its stuff I've made. Just reliving the highlight reel.

That’s how it works. Quit. Forever.

Porn is terrible. I've gone through periods of fapping 4+ times per day to all kinds of crazy shit. It's never worth it. Totally kills your sex drive and desire to fuck real women. Also gives you completely unrealistic expectations of sex and female behavior. It's a fantasy pure and simple

DerekMorganBAU · 2020-10-16T18:30:37+00:00

It's a dark rabbit hole but it's never affected my ability to perform. Once it does that, like any activity, it needs to be addressed. Porn time is "me" time but it's a dope tool to stop you from tryna fuck a random when you got other shit to do.

After a good fap I'm like "nah let me just do something productive" instead of tryna waste my energy on a bitch.

The obvious answer is to cut out porn completely, but this is obviously harder said than done, or you wouldn’t be having the problem you have.

Im about to give you some advice that may seem contrary to red pill teachings, but helped me more than anything with this problem.

Find yourself a decent girl that you can be comfortable with, enjoy spending time with, etc., and LTR her. And focus on having sex with her consistently instead of jacking off to porn.

When I was younger I had the same problem - couldn’t get it up because of porn desensitization. I was lucky to find a girl that liked me enough that she wanted to keep seeing me even though I couldn’t get it up initially. Eventually, you get comfortable with her and you’ll get hard for real pussy. Then its just a matter of smashing real pussy so much that you don’t feel the need to watch porn anymore.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Bro recently I hooked up with a girl and couldn’t get rock hard and think is because of the too much porn. How long will it take to go back to normal?

El_Serpiente_Roja · 2020-10-16T20:29:25+00:00

For every 1 time you watch porn and Jack off have sex in real life at least once...easy to do with a fwb or especially ltr...otherwise chase women irl or jack off without it

L2diy · 2020-10-17T02:35:22+00:00

No fap man. Got to get away from that shit

WellShe · 2020-10-17T16:39:39+00:00

If you've ever taken drugs or drink regularly it's like building a tolerance, the only way to lose your tolerance is to not fap.

TeddyMGTOW · 2020-10-16T18:33:14+00:00

If you like different stuff, so be it....your dick don't lie. Is porn effecting your work or sex life? If not, whack all you want..

PB0034 · 2020-10-17T00:50:38+00:00

Just watch less bro u don’t have to be perfect to never watch it ever. Try to watch once a week, then once a month and after that you’ll be watching once or twice every year. As for fetishes, they will lose their power when u transition from once a week to once a month.

TehJimmyy · 2020-10-16T20:19:18+00:00

if you dont masturbate more than 3-5 per day to porn and cant function its all in your head . My brain makes problems to think its the real one rather than going out and being afraid of approaching women and doing the real thing.

tl;dr dont bother with how much you wank bother with meeting women

Hello,

In the past two years, with my colleagues from the Stanford University, the Swiss Research Institute of Public Health and Addiction ISGF, and the University of Zurich, we have been developing a new, free, science-based online program (Hands-off) for people who want to change their porn viewing habits.

Now, the beta version of this new program is available to be tested. If you would like to participate in the test of this beta version, give feedback on the program, and would like to reduce your porn-related problems at the same time, don’t hesitate to join this study (www.hands-off.net).

The program includes 6 + 1 free, online, and anonymous modules covering a wide range of pornography viewing-related topic, such as how to avoid “danger” situations and what one can do instead of pornography use. We recommend completing one module each week for six weeks and then one “booster” module after one month.

Besides these interactive modules, the program includes some questions and surveys during and after the end of the program. These questions and surveys can provide feedback on the user’s achievements and they also help the researchers to measure the effectiveness of the program and choose the most useful methods and strategies for future users. So, if you would like to get to know more on your pornography viewing habits and would like to test this program, visit the website and register: www.hands-off.net

Disclaimer: Participation in the Hands-off program is free, all collected data will be kept confidential and will be used only for scientific purposes. The study is conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration and was approved by the Institutional Ethical Review Board of the ELTE Eötvös Loránd University.
