Hey Sup Forums, I've masturbated almost every day for 5 years straight. I've been redpilled on all the negative effects and Jesus Christ, have I really been hurting myself that badly?
I've wanted to stop for maybe 7 months now, but I can't. I just can't.
How did you guys stop/how do you stay away from it? When will I no longer experience the negative effects of pornography?

I should probably add that I'm always depressed and can't find happiness or motivation in anything.

Somebody say something, he needs help (I'm no help, similar problems)

Maybe download some shit to block porn websites
(Sup Forums.org/gif too)

I'm on the same boat OP. I've been trying for one year now with no success. The longest I got was 25 days streak one year ago, but at the time I didn't know about the flat line, so when I got to have sex with a girl I couldn't have an election at all. After I came back I fapped to prove that I could still get an election, but only after that did I know all the shit (people who can't get up unless they're flapping, the flailing period, etc)

It was really tough to get to that point. I did feel some benefits though.

I'd suggest OP to keep yourself busy which is what I try to do. Find a hobby or something you can engross yourself with. That's how I got those 25 days. Peace

I think it's psychosomatic. I forgot to fap for about two days. In those two days I got through about 100 pages of physics, solved 30 or so exercises, did cardio, painted and went through some programming.

Monday comes, I see a hot bitch on some tv show or something, and I cave... Rest of the week I'm my usual lazy tard self who can't get through 10 pages per day.

I'm trying again this time, but it's gonna be hard... I've found that old-time jazz 9Sinatra, Martin) & Italian songs help a bit. They keep you upbeat and make fapping seem... crude.

You just stop doing it. It's really that simple. You're going to want to avoid this site for a while because of the porn posters here. It sucks at first but after a couple days it gets a lot better. Just busy yourself with something worthwhile that will improve your life

Cancel internet. Destroy computer and phone.

Just block porn websites holy shit

I'm pretty sure theres a addon for browser / program that does this. Not sure if there is for phone

Say this pray on your knees. 100% guaranteed to work.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

it's not masturbating that needs to stop, it's the porn. it's affecting your mental health and turning you into an autistic cuck.

try wean yourself off by cutting it down to jacking off once every 2 days but without porn. if you can't get a hard on with porn then it's probably too late and (((they))) already got you. But if visual stimulation is essential then jack off to soft core stuff like music videos on youtube or something

Why would you pray to Mary and not God directly? heathen

Jerking off is not bad for you, not even if you do it every day. just don't do it in the middle of the day unless it's been a long time. Do it every other day or so before bed.

Porn is bad for you. It fucks up your beliefs and perceptions. Never, never, never watch any hardcore porn at all. Look at pictures of pretty girls with some of their clothes off or use your imagination.

Got it? Jerk off when you need to, use imagination or still images of girls alone with no toys or men or other girls. You'll be fine.

The same reason why you would go to your mum and not your dad directly.

This is the correct answer

You need to educate yourself more on the subject, that is what has helped me the most.

Every man struggles with this, user. Keep fighting the good fight, God will grant you victory if you humble yourself before Him and ask for help.

Good luck.

Whenever you think a lewd thought just throw it out immediately. Think of something else. Your goals (as long as they're not degenerate) or anything else really. Works very well for me.

start gardening
learn how to code
a good idea is to deleate all your porn when you are exhausted
for example i did this when i was ~12-13 yo (92 here)
i'd just shift deleated all my porn after i fapped
ALL OF IT
back in the days it was like 5 GB on 50 GB drive
and i wasn't crying about this i simply started focusing on school
the key is to focus on something else, something that gives you better feelings than porn
i'd suggest you to find out what you like and start doing it

Do you smoke weed OP?

SWIM is a porn fiend degenerate when smoking too much weed.

Nofap is nothing but a placebo.

I made it a year, I forgot what set me off, it was a little over a year, the longest I've been able to make it since was a month

I just keep sinisterly convincing myself to give in to temptation...

I tried stopping a lot before but I just can't ever get myself to quit for any significant amount of time. I think the worse your fetishes are the harder it becomes for you to quit.

explain?

Mindfulness. When you get the urge. Write down the negatives affects of porn. Or go out for a walk.

Also for the love of christ. Pixels are turning you on.

cumming on weed feels too good bro

nofap is (((literally))) a kike scheme to entice you to breed and pump out more units

just rub one out and enjoy the champagne of victory

>champagne of victory
Classic Bill Burr

Definitely not. Going from multiple faps a day to none a day will have a huge effect on health, both physical and mental.

i stopped fapping just because i have no hope for the future. the sex drive dropped following my loss of hope for humanity and by that i mean white people.

Constantly masturbating actually makes you less motivated to do things because it relaxes you a lot and you lose that drive to do much of anything and that is probably leading to your depression.

Literally though just stop watching porn, it's going to be hard like any kind of addiction to withdraw from, it might even be harder since it sounds like your life almost revolves around watching it everyday, so you need to set new goals for yourself to take your mind off of it. Maybe try getting in shape or something, you need something to keep your mind occupied so you aren't constantly thinking about masturbating, like when you are trying not to masturbate while doing nothing your mind will just drift to thinking about masturbating because its what you've been training your body to do every day.

weak people like you should be gassed

Go fuck yourself mountainjew

There is no way around it.
Most fags will not bite this bullet thought.

>like when you are trying not to masturbate while doing nothing your mind will just drift to thinking about masturbating because its what you've been training your body to do every day

This reminds me of the mental salesman explanation of addiction.
When you're trying to quit something, you need to not let the salesman for that addiction into your head.
If you're constantly debating it with this part of your brain, and having to say "nah I shouldn't, I won't" You'll most likely break eventually.
The salesman has something you want, and a bunch of excuses why you can justify it vs. your "I shouldn't"
You might win this debate 100 times, but it only takes the salesmen getting you at a weak moment that you say "fuck it"

SWIM has been there many, many times with weed. getting better at blocking it out, but eventually someone, or something, will trip up defenses and the mental salesman walks in. Once that's happened it's really hard to push it out.

Yeah exactly, there was some old Indian story I was thinking of the king was sick and he needed a doctor to cure him, he said something like if you can't cure me I will kill you, so the doctor, knowing he couldn't cure him, said take this but you can't think of pink elephants or it won't work. So he took it but couldn't stop thinking about pink elephants despite trying and eventually dying from it, but admitting it didn't work because he couldn't stop thinking about them. So the doctor lived in the end etc.

It's just when you are trying not to think about something you think about it more, and you spend a lot of time just thinking about what you are trying not to do instead of doing something else to occupy that space in your mind.

>you spend a lot of time just thinking about what you are trying not to do instead of doing something else to occupy that space in your mind
Yep. This 100%

The problem is, the addict thinks that they're convincing themselves NOT to partake in their addiction, when if fact it's the exact opposite.

It'd be like going to a store that has something you want, so you can argue with the salesman about how you don't need what he's selling lol... You'd have to ask yourself why you'd go there and tempt yourself in the first place.

>tfw haven't fapped in five days
Feel clean, energetic and focused, also ready to fight. And is if life became more vivid and colourful, people appear different too, especially females. There is something fluid and rapid to my movement and speech, I like it. To give up fap you just need to occupy yourself with gym/work/studies/social activities, don't look at porn, put Chans in NSFW mode and be strong!

>The problem is, the addict thinks that they're convincing themselves NOT to partake in their addiction, when if fact it's the exact opposite.
Yep exactly, that's why I think an addict should try to spend time doing something more constructive to focus their mind, rather than just using that time thinking about the activity they are trying not to do, because that that point as, as you said, it's just a constant debate with yourself and all you need to do is lose it once to fall back into your old habits.
