How do you get addicted to porn? I jerk off once a day watching porn for 5-10 minutes. There's nothing wrong with porn or jerking off if you can do it in moderation
> How do you get addicted to porn?
Just like people get addicted to anything.
No, I quit after three years. Really consumed porn from 15-18. Then quit.
But I presume the process for quitting is at least similar, just more difficult and longer after such a long period of addiction. Keep going though, you got it.
Did you life change after you quit and got through the recovery period?
>Did you life change after you quit and got through the recovery period?
Yes quite a bit. I was in college at the time and it wasn't going too well in any regard really. Once I got off porn, I had more energy, time and motivation to go to the gym, classes and social events. Started getting better lifts, better grades and more friends. And that obviously leads to other life improvements. Overall quality of life just gets way better. I could write more, but I don't wanna turn this into an essay.
But I think the trick is to not fall for #nofap. It is okay, but the main Issue is porn. some people get on no fap, but still watch porn without fapping. Not watching porn is the main thing, not fapping comes with it.
this.
jerking off is just a way for your body to regulate itself and is completely natural. porn on the other hand is just exploiting your body's reward center as a product designed solely to make money. think of it like high calorie fast food that makes you happy when you eat it but in the long run it makes you fat, thus having bad effect on you overall, with the exception of porn messing with your sexuality (not necessarily sexual orientation) which is way more subtle and complicated compared to nutrition.
tl;dr don't watch porn, people managed without it for thousands of years

Animals very rarely jerk off. This makes me think it's probably unnatural behavior
Only time masturbaiton becomes common for non-humans is in captivity.
This makes me think it's related to having mental illness

just let the coomers be. they will do any kind of mental gymnastics to justify why using their own hand alone in a dark room rubbing on out to naked girls on a digital screen get fricked by more alpha men is >natural and healthy
Has anyone here actually beat porn addition of 10 years or more?
Yeah I did. I was a pretty severe coomer for a long time. From about 14 until 26 or so. I don't use porn anymore, and honestly it doesn't even make my dick twitch when I see it. Not going to lie, regular sex really helped. I still coom often, but onto or into a lady instead. That wasn't an option when i was a 16 year old butterball, but that's a bigger issue tbh.
Yeah but some people who areaddicted do it 5+ times a day and it starts to effect their life eg. Missing class because they wantes to jerk off, missing special events because they wanted to jerk off, passing up actual sexual acts because they wanted to jerk off. Once a day is fine if it doesnt effect your life, but if youre missing out on life events or putting your job and expectations at risk because you feel the constant need to jack off then ya it can be an addiction
No, I quit after three years. Really consumed porn from 15-18. Then quit.

I used porn for like 18 years and stopped 2 months ago. Your whole life changes and you rarely ever think of porn again. Completely serious. I did it, you can too. I do occasionally wake up busting a nut in my boxers but it ain't so bad.
As long as you replace porn with say, fantasies or something it shouldn't be too hard. Masturbation is near impossible to beat because you're going against one of your normal biological urges
Yes. Started when I was like 12 or something and I'm 24 now and haven't watched male on female porn in at least a year. I will still bust to webms of hot women in bikinis and stuff that get posted in game threads on IST but that doesn't feel harmful and it's not addicting.
As for how I did it, it was really just having the will over a long period of time. I've also beaten a nicotine and weed addiction, and it was the same thing. I tried going cold turkey countless times, but failed a lot, but I realized that every attempt got me closer to where I wanted to be. Don't beat yourself up when you relapse, just remind yourself that it can be a long process and you are making progress. I can't even remember when I "quit" cigs or porn because one day after years of decreasing my use I realized I hadn't done it in like a month and that was that.
I started jerking off in 1st grade
I don't think I could really cum much if it all (can't remember just remember not having to clean up) and it wasn't even porn that made me do that
I just self discovered it one day and although I did see a lot of fanart porn on the Internet as a kid it wasn't because I was jerking off to it I just liked reading or watching romance stories or fanfiction
I'm like permanently horny now-a-days and that's probably because of how early I started
I'm was horny in the mornings all the time, in school a lot randomly during classes and throughout the day, at night I would suffer from insomnia from how much in heat I was getting, and to this day I still get horny for no reason while I'm working
I have almost exclusively worn jeans throughout my life because of how often I get hard
I'm scared that if I ever get a GF I'll scare her away because of how often I would want to have sex
Unfortunately I'm ugly as frick in the face so I'm basically a male nymphomaniac incel who loves romance
Literally just the worse fricking combo I'm constantly frustrated but I'm trying to redirect this energy into lifting
Yeah just about. Anyone reading this needs to rip off the bandaid and delete all their porn and history, make porn as hard as possible to access, and try to lessen their idle time. Find an Orthodox Church and take it seriously and pray a lot. Having icons of Jesus and His saints in your house helps too i think imo. You have to decide what kind of life you want to live and what you want to live for and dedicate all of yourself to it. Do you actually want to be a guy that does weird gross shit? Is that what God designed us for? Nop
>Jerking since 12 year old to images on the internet >Moved onto very deranged shit because normal shit didn't give me that dopamine hit and novelty anymore >jacking it until age 25 >finally start to try to quit >Not addicted anymore age 30 but still get urges.
If I load up a video now I get the most insane head rush ever. better than coke or anything. I used to do Xanax and smoke tons of weed then edge for hours and hours.
It gets better Anon. Keep it up
It's as simple as repeating the following two sentences to yourself until they become intrusive thoughts that pop up when you think about watching porn: >If I were actually horny, I could jack off without porn. >Porn is for dorks.
Simple as
daily reminder that having one orgasm a day is just fine. orgasming is not satanic and sperm is not a magic liquid that gives you fricking mana or whatever people believe. preferably get a gf to frick once a day until your libido goes down.
Addicted to porn for nearly 15 years and I kicked the habit for good.
+2 years clean now, don't watch porn and have not jerked off at all in that time frame.
>accidentally stumbled on the world of weird internet porn literally the day after I got my first boner >it immediately subverted my interest in all the girls around me >to this day rarely if ever pay attention to all the sexy b***hes around me to the point where I can't even tell how attractive they should be
It's weird to be so coomer that you're not coomer. Like, on my way to uni one day I passed a group of about ten guys slowly dawdling together. Turns out they were walking behind this lady who I at the time thought didn't have any pants on. You could just see stockings and ass but after a quick casual glance I strolled by. Come to find out later from my brother that her skirt had gotten caught, but I just assumed it was one of those empowering fashion trends and moved on in less than a second of paying attention. It's like achieving monk-mode but by coming at it from the exact opposite angle. Rather than sex appeal, the only thing women can entice me with now would be a legitimate emotional connection but the world we live in is far too vapid for that
idk how you gays suffer with this shit, i was a gigacoomer fapping at least 3x a day for years, then i got a gf (who's kinda mid but still good enough for me) and i just stopped porn + fapping and frick her a couple times per week now instead
just stop consuming the product and find another way to cum, stupid guy
No. Your brain is totally fricked after a decade of porn use. It's over
The only way is to speak with the Lord your God daily to keep the demons at bay
Yeah I already thanked him for giving me a fricked up limbic system.

You're moronic. Once or twice a week is moderation.
>There's nothing wrong with sinning in moderation
Do you hear yourself?
yeah just periodically apologize to god in your head and all is forgiven
Yeah but some people who areaddicted do it 5+ times a day and it starts to effect their life eg.

Well right there's your problem. You need to be subtracting porn not adding
oh you

Yes, took me years tho
You have to WANT to make it
Been clean for 4 years. All I did was set devices to grayscale 24/7 no exceptions, only thing that ever worked.
Beating porn is not hard, beating masturbation is
As long as you replace porn with say, fantasies or something it shouldn't be too hard. Masturbation is near impossible to beat because you're going against one of your normal biological urges

It's not too late bro
porn addiction doesnt exist, its an obsessive compulsive disorder issue
I’m in the process and have made good progress over the last year. Good luck lad.
yes

yeah just stop watching it
i was a degenerate coomer but now i only jerk off to fantasies of fricking the women i know irl

This is a fitness board, go post this moronic shit on the advice board. Why do incels want to discuss porn and women constantly.
The only possible way I see out of it is getting a gf that regularly fricks me.
Define "beat". Most no fappers feel bad because they "relapse" after weeks of not jerking off.
I mean, if you can willingly spend weeks without a behaviour, are you still addicted to such behaviour? What bout months? or years?
Anyway to my no fap bros, keep going. I once reached a VERY long no fap streak and it was SO FRICKING Worth it.
>VERY long no fap streak
how long
>SO FRICKING Worth it.
why?

Yes. I don't watch porn unless it's a relapse but that really happens maybe like 1 time a year. It's not that hard at all
