I've recently become aware of the harmful effects of porn on the brain, and I've been trying to avoid using it with extreme difficulty.
As a matter of self improvement for me, and any other men in my position, do any of you know of any solid methods of quitting porn use? Any tips?
I suppose I could make this an anti-porn general.

How 2 quit porn 101:
Don't watch porn
>How 2 quit heroin 101: Don't do heroin
this. that's that simple
Are you implying it's not true?
Something that helped me in my life was realizing that no one cares, no one can save you or help you. You're on your own. If you want to quit you have to do it yourself, you have to be willing to go through all the headaches, and if in a moment of weakness you decide to act weak, you will fuck it all up for yourself. You have to walk the path.
I'll offer you a serious response britbro. Start a timer right now and see how long you can go without watching porn and/or jacking off. Try and go as long as you can, but note the time when your willpower fails you. Afterwards, start the timer again, but make a commitment to yourself to hold off for at least 3 more hours. Once you have yourself down to only jerking off 1-3 times a week, then you need to start weening yourself off of video porn and moving towards forms of stimulus that require more imagination. The eventual goal is to only jerk off once or twice a week, and with nothing but your imagination.
Make yourself too busy to watch porn, find some hobbies or activities to do. Also quit getting sucked into it, if you feel like watching porn watch something else. The rest is just your will and discipline.
I've been keeping a note on my computer and adding to the days as they go by as I don't use porn. Every time I set it back to 0 it crushes me inside and yet I still do it.
Idk why my mind is this fucked up.
>quitting porn use
block the websites (hosts file) it will remind you every time you the blank page that you are sinning against yourself
> Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body[a] and in your spirit, which are God’s.
>1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Oh whoops sorry for hurting your brain
I've never thought of weening myself off it desu.
Sorry mummy
sauce
kike
oh god please no more
>non-pump chump
Don't ask me for sauce, I just save what I find.

Delete any images or videos you have saved of hot girls, porn or otherwise. Avoid looking at that stuff as much as possible. If you feel the urge to look at porn coming on, jack off immediately without looking at any visual aids and the urge will go away completely when you're done. If you fall off the wagon, get back on and tell yourself that's the last time and mean it. You'll lose the craving over time.
yeah just stop. Don't be a pussy, stop watching it.
Did she really have to start pissing on him?
Well yeah. Going cold turkey ain't hard especially if you don't have access/a source.
Slowly ween. Depending on how far gone you are try to only rub one out just before bed. After you have that down, once every two nights before sleep. Maintain that for a while than try and get it so youre only fucking your hand once a week tops. I used to fap like 5+ times a day as a teenager...so gross.
Don't stress, a dog comes by later and cleans up.
Delete all porn off your harddrive and make it a point to masturbate to your imagination on a regular basis so that you don't get randomly horny during the day.
One of my old fuckbuddies used to lose control of her bladder whenever we did cowgirl. I got pretty sick of it.
chicks think it's totally ok to piss on guys if they feel good
I tried to do that challange but when i stop watching porn i feel like my dick gets smaller and Its harder for me to get erection. Fuck that shit
Janitors keep banning self improvement general, but lots of good tips in there.
What works for me was treating it like any drug addiction. When the urges hit, do your best to separate yourself from the urges. It is not you, just your brain. Eventually the storm inside your body will pass and you will find peace, strength, confidence, motivation. The trick is to keep telling yourself the brain is the devil forcing it's sick addiction and you force yourself to focus on a productive activity.
I managed to beat both porn and masturbation addiction this way, and took a vow to never partake in either.
p.s. A month into nofap (and true nofap, no porn no masturbatipn, no sex), you are going to get crazy wet dreams. Ignore them. It's the brain throwing a tantrum before it finally breaks the addiction. They will stop eventually.
PS also: Once you truly begin to sublimate all that sex energy to productivity, you will discover a spirit of confidence and masculinity you never thought existed. For me it was like I was buried under a haze of poisonous fog until I truly tried nofap.
>Solid methods of quitting porn
Get off your computer and go outside
Stay around other humans. You hopefully do not watch porn and jerk off in front of others. If this means you must go hang out in diners, parks, or volunteer so be it. Porn and masturbation are addictions of the lonely
Degeneracy and a lack of woman in your life. Get a grill
I actually opened up to my gf about my porn consumption, had a nice heart to heart with her about it and am currently trying to stop watching it. It is very difficult, far too easy to just grab my phone and start searching for whatever I want.
Fuck you Im trying to quit and that bitch makes it very hard.
who is she ?
Reduce fapping. I tried to go nofap completely and would last a week, maybe 10 days, I think my record was 2 weeks. After a few attempts I gave up nofap, but actually found myself fapping once a week instead of every day after that without effort. I broke the chronic habit of fapping daily. Now I have no urge to watch porn, even when I fap (now I usually think about some girl I know). I've watched porn maybe 4 or 5 times this year, but the daily porn habit is completely gone.
transition to less hardcore stuff then stop completely
use self control
it worked for me
What does everyone think of this?
this is some low key orgasm denial we got here
sage
why is porn so gross?
when quitting something you should keep track of all the times you didnt the thing.
you'll slip up but all those times are an accomplishment a running total
also helps if you replace habit with something, maybe gym, get more aerodynamic and get someone to help you from getting distracted
This. I haven't watched porn in 6 months, but now I'm a Tinder degenerate who fucks 2 or 3 new girls a week
INSTANT CURE
idk if this counts, but I've noticed that if you want to jerk to porn, just watch the porn without touching yourself. after a few minutes your boner goes away and you stop wanting to jerk off.
Have you tried having sex with another person? Helps.
shitty "actresses" in porn are a dime a dozen, come on dont be retarded enough to fall for that shit
fpbp
I have no idea what is supposed to be this harmful effects of porn kek
She got very unlucky having to live in that deformed body.
You can do both.
its a load of bullshit im sure
Thank you sir I am now cured
Cured me of my heterosexuality.
Just stop. It's unmanly. I ended it from day to day. Deleted everything, all videos, all pics. It's hard to avoid looking at porn, especially when faggots post in everywhere (like in this thread), but it's doable. Willpower is what makes men men.
Eyyyyy
...
This. Imagination masturbation best masturbation.
Thank you I think I am done with porn now
Why is her forehead so sweaty??
...
21 days and 20 hours on Nofap.
The first 3 days were rough. now I don't even think about it. Trying to get a date at the moment, but honestly I won't feel ok about it until I really get in shape.
YOU CAN DO IT user, JUST GET PASS THE 3 DAYS.
What kind of cruel and spiteful god would put someones soul inside of that.
I couldn't go without porn for a day until I started going to church. Now I've gone without porn and masturbating for 10 days.
It was really hard at first, but also really easy when you're doing it for God. But I don't think there's any other method than believing in God. If you only believe in material things, then there's nothing to stop you and discipline you. If you believe in God, you do it because you love God and don't want to offend Him.
So if you're Catholic, you know what to do. If you're Anglican, then, I don't know what the CoE teaches on masturbation, but they probably say it's 'healthy' in which case you're fucked.
Nice soles.
wtf i got past 3 days for times
one i quit at 6, then at 11, then at 10, and then at 9.... im fed up of losing to the urge, and its all because some retard alway posts porn in here
It's an activity that's very dopamine driven, which is why you can get stuck looking at porn for way too long at a time. Like all drugs that spike dopamine (caffeine, adderall, alcohol, nicotine), it's harder to feel joy during everyday activities. Reward system gets fooked oop.
Psychologically it's kind of disgraceful to not be able to appreciate the female body for what it is, turning into "lol boobies" Idiocracy tier is what starts to happen to your perception of women irl. Which is kinda fucked, especially if you ever wanted to actually charm a girl and ultimately get laid for real.
What helps me is mindfulness meditation combined with the realization that every porn experience has been basically the same except for maybe the first 25 of them were fantastic and memorable. It's just fucking dull. I want a sex drive again, so if I DO decide to rub one out, I'll actually have fun doing it.
Real life is a lot more fun with a higher sex drive too. Yknow, actually having feelings (even if sexual) for a girl as opposed to compulsions which never quite feel right
/blogpost
You're made to FUCK and move on.
That is your problem, quit being here too much. Do things.
>but I'm a total loser blah, blah
Listen, if you don't go out too much, just do stupid small shit.
Like go out to the patio and read, read a lot, do exercise
>but muh money
Do it with what you have at home, list your own weight it would get you in shape if you are in a such a bad shape.
START SMALL, but be never doing nothing and always try to get really tired to avoid being bored at night without sleep.
Mucha suerte hermano.
Why is her jewish hair all messed up? Has she been roleplaying as a jewish sex slave at Dachau?
Propably
Something about making your hands fall off and go blind.
Cute enough, would do
If you really can't resist, try watching amateur shit while you wean yourself off. Set weekly goals for yourself and keep to them.
Should really start a quitting porn general like those /sig/ threads we had going for a while.
Wrong
>that amorphous slag
>having a soul
find a gf and move in somewhere together, your dick will explode from sex, you won't ever think about porn again.
I'm really resistant to addictive substances, i even get off literal sugar, but porn was impossible... Even when she's not there for me, i get off with oldschool thought-fap, no need for porn.
Good luck
someone fill me in, what's wrong with porn?
other than giving unrealistic expectations for real sex?
Elaborate pls!
it destroys your brain, in terms of motivation, happiness, contention, striving to accomplish something and better yourself, to invent something, it even blunts your senses, movement, and weakens immune system, and last but not the least - Parkinson's and some types of depression. Dopamine imbalance is hell, and porn is the easiest way to achieve it, after heroin and cocaine.
First off, I luv ya m8 for going down the path
Second, you're already doing what you should be doing and that's anything but looking at other people have sex or whatnot.
Third, start many hobbies and see which sticks. Write a song, poem, go out, play a vidya, read and watch revisionist history
If you have a spiritual belief but not a religious one look up Zynkyoky Haku on YT and enjoy some enlightenment

and see

Not OP, but I only jack about once a day or every other day. And on rare occasions I will use my imigination. But usually I go into jacking off with the mindset of finding exactly what's turning me on in that moment and nutting to it. I use imagination as edging but using it as the full blown task is doable, but boring to me. When I wanna look at some upskirts or whaletails I find it immediately, I get bored with trying to imagine a chick, then sexing her up, then putting her in that situation and then me piecing it all together and jacking off.
I use Sup Forums to get off.. can't do it yo
m8, i've got lots of problems and jerking off isnt the fucking root of it
keeping my hand off my dick isnt going to magically solve my problems
again sage
having a girl helps, but you don't want to straight move in. You are going to get too attached and if she leaves you you may relapse. Pussy can be addictive too.
>Harmful
There's no such thing as information you receive that's harmful to you in a practical sense.
Look closely at the animal you are. Look on life and all of its fantastic horror. Acknowledge the worst parts of yourself now before you're forced to become them later.
Literally nothing
there are no harmful effects of porn faget
It's not the porn proper, it's your inability to not jerk off to it. The zinc and selenium depletion lie at the root of the whole mess, although anyone with an esoteric background knows it's actually more than that.
>whaletails
what the actual fuck is this?
this, holy fuck you niggers are seriously blaming your problems on jerking off
if masturbating is causing a problem in your life, thats called addiction
none of this is true. literally not one statement is correct. kys
the topic is watching porn, maybe you've watched so much you're that fucking retarded
Keep yourself busy.
now youre fucking nitpicking here, the two come hand in hand
but since keeping yourself backed up gave you brain damage i'll reword it for you
if porn or jerking of is actually causing a problem, its called addiction
Start off by reducing your fapping and start fapping to mild stuff over hardcore porn
Any fags want to inform me on quick and true negative effects of watching porn? I'm too lazy to research right now, someone just give me a quick rundown. without saying anything below
> jews
> degenerate
Maybe I don't masturbate enough to experience negative affects.
How can porn create inbalance of our dopamine and make us addicted?
Just curious.
A whaletail is when a chick is sitting and her shirt or whatever rides up and you can see her thong or panties. Usually it's hot because of the limited sexiness of seeing a glimpse of her panties while in a public or proper place. I'm usually diamonds in my college classes cause I'm sitting behind a chick whose thong and ass crack is showing
