TL;DR: wean yourself off of porn over a few weeks, if it's hard to quit then you must admit that you are addicted, download a browser extension to block porn sites, journal your experiences and other ideas you have to help you quit, have a proper sleep schedule, you can still masturbate, and keep trying after every failure (you will fail several times.)

It's been a slow process, but I think I've gotten myself in a decent streak now. I first saw this guy a while ago on Crowder, 2-3 months maybe, and have been working on quitting since. Here's what I've been doing so far. I'm almost three weeks clean.

First, I made it my aim to just quit completely. That needs to be your attitude all throughout. That didn't work at first, but I did manage to go 2-3 days without it for a while, then after a couple weeks, I could go 6-7 days without porn. I think that kind of weans you off it slowly. The hardest part in all of that was fighting off the thoughts of, "Oh come on, porn isn't that bad. Just once this week won't hurt." I think those thoughts partly arose out of not considering myself a porn addict to begin with, I just wanted to see the increase in motivation the guy talks about in the video (which I am beginning to see.) A big part of overcoming that thought for me was admitting that if I am struggling this hard to quit something, then yes, I am addicted. Maybe not badly addicted, but addicted. Like an alcoholic who can hold a job, and not drink all day, but when he gets home from work immediately downs half a bottle of whiskey.

Next, download a website blocker to your browser, and block every porn site you have ever visited. BlockSite is the one I have been using on Chrome. You cannot depend on this entirely, since it's easy to disable, it is just there to add some extra steps when you just let your desires kick in and mindlessly start typing in porn sites. MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE IT FOR INCOGNITO MODE!!!

Next, I journal my experiences with quitting, my thoughts, and other goals I have with it. Remind yourself why you are trying to quit in the journal, and write down any other ideas you have that will help you quit. For example, I wrote down that if I get the urge to watch porn, do 20 pushups instead. Haven't had to do that yet, but it's an option.

Next, get your sleep schedule together. For me, masturbation was a nightly habit to help me fall asleep. I could not get to sleep very fast without masturbating. A regular sleep schedule will help when it starts getting late and your mind wanders off into nighttime fantasies of women and porn.

Next, you can still masturbate, just no porn. It might be hard at first, but use your imagination. Think of sexual experiences you've had, think of that slutty girl you saw on the train with short shorts and an overly revealing shirt. If you really need to, just think of some porn scene you've watched before, just make sure you don't actually watch it. You need to use your imagination. This one might sound weird, but you can also just focus on masturbating. Think about what it feels like, how good it feels, and how good that orgasm is going to feel. Sounds weird as fuck, but it's worked for me.

Lastly, give yourself time. Like I said, I have been trying for a few months now, and am almost three weeks clean. It will not happen overnight. If and when you slip up, don't destroy yourself over it and say to hell with it. Examine what you did that led up to you slipping up. Did you click a risky link? Did you ignore the warning in your head saying, "Get to doing those pushups before you type that website in." Whatever you did that led up to your failure, avoid that next time. And I know it's cliche, but every time you fail, remember that there's some quote that goes like this, "You only truly fail once you fail to pick yourself back up." That's not the exact quote, but something similar to that. You can find a shit ton of them on google.

And keep in mind this caveat: this has been my experience, and what has worked for me so far. You may find some of my advice doesn't work for you, and other parts do. You might find that I've left something out. Treat this as a guideline to help, but not rules set in stone.

Why though?

What if you're not a NEET faggot who stays up all night jerking it, gets laid, is properly motivated, and exercises regularly.

Nothing wrong with a quick jerk before bed.

It's not that I think you're wrong about porn being bad for you. Its just that I'm in my 30's now and I've been on an off porn but nothing really changed with my dating life. Women just aren't interested in a guy like me, at least not the kind of women I want, however few there are left in today's world. I really got into porn after I gave up, I made it through HS and College being rejected by every woman I approached. The only ones that didn't outright reject me I eventually ghosted because it even became clear to my guy friends they were only using me for shit, and basically put me in the friendzone.

Perhaps others could benefit from ditching porn, I just know I have nothing left to improve myself for... no future worth working towards.

If you watch the videos, you'll see that they've done studies on people like you. They quit watching porn, and are quite surprised at the positive changes they see.

>>139934401
Well if your life is that bad, then I'm sorry. But if it isn't, then at the very least encourage others to try, and maybe tell them what you've done wrong so they can learn from your mistakes. You might find meaning in an endeavor like that.

It's okay to love yourself and work for your own future, anon.

muh (((studies)))

I am not going to watch those videos. Your posts explain how to quit watching porn, but you do not elaborate on what they are.

If, after watching your dumb videos, you cannot explain in your own words the negative effects porn has or the positive changes that occur, then you are full of shit and don't know what you're talking about.

Yes. Stop watching porn, everyone.
