I've been literally watching it and thinking about it every single day for more than a decade now. At first it was exciting and arousing but for the last 6 years it feels more like an obligation than a pleasure.
I have to watch more extreme and extreme stuff because the regular material doesn't stimulate me anymore.
How does one get rid of this? Is porn the downfall of our civilization?
Just stop, I know it's hard but you need to just cut it out and do something more productive to fill the gaps.
Disconnect your internet. Thats the only way.
disonnect from the internet for a week. only use it when necessary like emails or bills. experiment with different hobbies during this time and find one that can consume a lot of your time.
remember masturbating isn't that bad, you should do it at least once every 2 weeks. it's porn that will hold you back from your full potential.
You should get a job in the porn industry. You'll probably be a gay man within the year. Women are horrible creatures. Absolutely disgusting. They have vaginas though, and so...fuck
When you jack off, your brain releases endorphin as it thinks you're reproducing. Endorphin reinforces the behavior pattern so you do it more often; same as with eating, taking a shit, being generally happy, shitposting on Sup Forums, etc. as Endorphin is the best mechanism the brain has to make you keep doing a thing it think it's beneficial to the survival of the species.
Masturbating isn't bad on itself, it's basically like eating chocolate.
The problem is that if you keep doing it with a routine, you get addicted as your brain kept repeating the same pleasurable pattern of endorphin release.
Porn isn't the problem in itself as much as alcohol isn't the problem of all civilization. The abuse of porn is the problem, the lack of stigma around using it is the problem.
The solution isn't to go around being blue balled all the time if you got no gf, the solution to these problems are the promotion of the alternative to porn: Get a fucking girlfriend.
Stop yourself from wanking at least once, identify where you're falling. For me, it was after I got finished with a stressful task I would habitually wank off to porn.
But it's like working a muscle for the first time, at first you're very weak, but you'll continue to work it, After resisting that first impulse, you'll resist a second one, and then a third.
It does help if you're a Christian, pray for God to help you get rid of the demon, the first few weeks is brutal, but after that it becomes much easier, join nofap groups on the internet, idle in their chatrooms, make sure you don't feel alone in that struggle.
>me, been porn/wank free for over two months after nearly 1.5 years of struggling with it.
Pic related also helped me a lot.
this
be more productive / preoccupy yourself or limit yourself to fewer times a day
Get off the internet or at the very least get off 4chainz, even here porn is posted infrequently.
Only listen to audio porn, it's one of the most amazing sexual experiences I've ever had
Link related, don't give up on it.
Porn is pretty terrible. I know a former intravenous meth addict who says his porn addiction is more harmful. It doesn't affect everyone negatively, but on the whole it's a net negative for society.
From what I've tried, cold turkey is the only way. I flip flop between quitting and saying fuck it every few weeks, but I did successfully quit for about a year. The way I did it was to sincerely make a commitment to delete everything perverted or sexual from my computer and even my thoughts. I could fap without porn to normal sexual thoughts (naked women, sex) but if my mind ever strayed to porn-induced fetishes like anal or worse, I would AGGRESSIVELY reject it. Pretend it doesn't exist.
Just discard it from your mind "i reject that thought" and move on. The worst thing you can do is dwell on your fantasies. This is why Christians teach that looking at a woman with lust is the same as fucking her. It all starts in your mind and if you can control it with 0 fucking tolerance (you have to be committed) you can keep it under control pretty well.
>if only i could quit porn, i could get my life straight and buy more meth!
Treat it like alchohol. Set an amount to watch each day and slowly decrease the time from there.
Honestly dude I mindfucked myself. I'm self publishing two books from the time I used to sit and watch porn. I might even write a third on my recovery from porn. It's not easy. Every step hurts. Cold turkey usually puts you in the hands of another vice. You must command yourself little at a time.
go to #3x on WhatNet thank me later
man I would definitely trust the opinions of meth addicts
lol @ porn addicts weird obsession with defending it
>ITS NOT BAD EVER. NO ONE HAS EVER HAD ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO THEM BECAUSE OF PORN. ITS 100% HEALTHY ALWAYS.
It is one of the most amazing sexual experiences but that just makes the addiction worse in my experience.
you and me both
i cannot stop looking at porn
it is hell on earth
I wouldn't say that, you are using your imagination partially plus there is no visual stimulation.
>jerking off to fat women's voices
This. Fucking low lives.
i'm not addicted to porn, and I barely ever look at it. I spotted this comment as I was scrolling.
but wew lads, spotted the fucking meth addicts.
get some help, no one cares about the opinion of a dope fiend.
Stop, you've probably autogynephilited yourself at this point.
Disgusting. Shameful.
Kill yourself.
The first step is admitting it, brother. I'm addicted to porn. I've never touched meth. Why does this concept make you angry? Must hit close to home.
Buy a pocket pussy
take some mushroom or lsd.. you have to break the illusion of your ego
you can always get depressed, one of the side effects of the SSRIs is you jack off less
