I just finished watch "Don Jon" and started to wonder if I have a porn addiction.
I haven't had many relationships so porn is pretty much my only sexual release. I watch it probably everyday for years by this point. Over time the stuff I watch has become kinkier and kinkier. Rarely I will look at porn in a public setting but I'd be lying if I said I haven't. There have also been "darker" times where I buy some weed and get stoned for DAYS and fap so many times looking at crazier and crazier shit. But typically I'm just like any other "normal" person. It doesn't interfere with my job, or family. I don't avoid my friends to go jerk off. But I do wonder..
Anyway I'm here to ask you guys how often you watch porn? Do you ever fap without porn? Do you watch porn even though you can have sex with a significant other?
If you're being serious, porn addiction is a very serious thing. I had that addiction myself through most of high school, fapping whenever I could, which was usually 3-4 times a day, most of it to porn, only occasionally to fantasies of girls I knew from school. I didn't even realize it was a problem until my freshman year at uni when I actually missed class just to go fap, and combined with a few instances of being very near killing myself, I almost fucked it up.
It was a very sobering moment, realizing that the only things you want to do are masturbate to fake people doing fake things for money and sleeping. Its fucking bullshit.
But after that I got pissed off that I'd fucked up my life so bad, and worked as hard as I could towards unfucking it up. 3 years later and I have an amazing and supportive girlfriend that, for some reason, gave a fuck about my problems and helped me fix them. I still masturbate occasionally when she isn't around (long distance relationship), but that's rare and when we meet up on weekends there is lots of sex involved.
Not saying porn is unequivocally some kind of sin bullshit, but in my experience it'll fuck you up as bad as heroin.
Do with that what you will.

so why are you on this board if you have a girlfriend
Next time you get the urge to binge on porn, go to the bathroom and quickly jack yourself off into the shower or something and that's it. The urge is over and you're free for the next few hours. Do something productive and you will appreciate the relief.
Understandably, addiction is a mental thing but do that a few times and the obsessiveness with having to watch fucked up shit will slowly fade over time. This is the real solution, imo, not some no-fap bullshit.

You can have a girlfriend and still be a robot.
It's permanently altered my sexuality but I don't think I'm addicted... I can jerk off without it but it's never as good, and sex is better but never as convenient

that there is a contradiction

Lol, he said it again
No fap and No Porn is real. I used to have trouble even getting a boner watching porn. Stopped fapping and porn for around a month, and I got a raging boner from just a quick peck on the lips. Wean yourself off porn and if you jack off just use your imagination.

lol
I think you should leave.

and this is where we are at now /r9k/
If you find yourself looking at porn and you realize you don't know where the time went, then it's a compulsion.
Porn is basically the only sexual outlet I've ever had, and I was using it to manage my anxiety. Every time I tried to stop using for a while it I would unleash torrents of autismo anger. There were a lot of needs I wasn't meeting in my life and porn just helped me pretend that everything was okay.
I also find myself using 4chan and just general web surfing this way. But at least I'm aware of it now.

Or you could just not be gay. I watch porn and I still get hard, even if I see a really hot girl with big tits. Redheads are my thing though, but non fetish colors do it too.
