    I've been addicted for over 10 years now. I've finally had enough, I've relapsed too many times. I'm one week in and I am iritable and short tempered, but I know I need to keep going. I wish you all the best of luck.

      Try exercising more brother. It really helps putting all those hormones into more beneficial use. Monks exercise a lot to control urges. Plus, if you keep at it long enough, I am sure you will get used to the feeling of being all clean inside. Porn is really junkfood for your brain. Junk food tastes good, but makes you feel awful later on. Eating healthy will not always taste as good, but surely it will make you feel a lot better inside.

      I was more or less addicted to that over years and there was nothing. I then started to stop doing that and start to be better, be more focus on other activities so that I won't lose myself to p###ography.

    i made the decision to stop watching it this year but after like a month and a half i started sliding back into the same shit again… but i am truly doing better, it went from pretty much watching it every night to only watching a video like once or twice a month and this helped a lot so thank you :)

      Remeber that this is better than almost everyone else is doing, it's easy to lose sight of that after watching something again.
      Imagine if it was junk food and everyone would say you are doing amazing consuming it only once a month (in comparison to the average person).

      Erm, I don't get it..? It's nothing bad with watching porn once in a while.
      I, personally, see it as personal hygiene - discharge once in a few days to not get dirty at one night.
      Why is it sounds so demonized both in video and in your comment?

    I discovered content of this nature at a young age, which i would rather not elaborate on. I found it once, and thought i would never look at it ever again. But the next day, i found myself on it again. I saw a certain video, a very illegal one. I was extremely disturbed, and a couple days later I asked the teacher to go to the bathroom. I went to cry in a stall, trying to forget the disgusting and horrible content i witnessed. I still remember it to this day, and wherever I go, i fear the same thing that happened to the poor girl in the video would happen to me. People on this earth are fucking sick, and I can’t believe some grown ass man would post that repulsive shit online.

    (I’m a girl) I remember back in may I got exposed to a whole lot of R34 and p*rn. After I saw it, for the next eight months I went through torture with thoughts about fantasies, and automatic thoughts. For those eight months, I couldnt hear about anything remotely sexual without the thoughts flooding into my head. After forever, it felt like, I finally got over it. I haven’t actually went to a ‘website’, thankfully. I’ve been working on trying not to focus on things I know trigger all the automatic type thoughts. And everything is getting better. I so long to be my innocent self again…

      Just remember that it may seem like you feel no other intense feeling of desire for anything more strongly then when you get the pangs for porn, but your desire to be porn-free is even greater. It just happens that the absence of pain from being porn-free is apparent after very long pursuit and introspection, whereas the tenfold presence of pleasure when succumbing to pangs is immediate. I hate that I know this and still constantly relapse. This primal drive just takes over my whole mind. It really sucks.

    Unironically what helped me overcome my porn addiction was just not watching it or engaging in it. Now granted I did have some help too. I blocked sites that gave me access to Hentai/Porn and other explicit videos/gifs/images and dropped sites that I don't want exposing me to it again (Reddit & Twitter) but what most likely helped me was just telling myself, "I'm not going to spank my shit". Word for Word. Simply not engaging with masturbation ended the cycle of being downbad and helped me regain control over my urges.

      Perhaps because there's nothing else that could make it harder for you to let go of it, like:
      - you likely have a partner you needed in life and left life with a parent behind
      - you likely moved out from your old location
      - your lifestyle is healthier and free from "idc as long as it passes time"
      - you have your own decision making with no legal attachment that could prevent it
      Which are things that I lack and as a result, the addiction lives on. Only fulfilling them can get me rid of addiction, so that there's no reason for it to come back 😔

    “It’s not a just about abstaining from something, it’s about filling the void with something meaningful”
    great line. that makes a lot of sense. it’s like, sometimes when i’m indulging in stuff for the sole purpose of getting dopamine, i actually feel empty inside and it’s like i’m trying desperately to fill that void and feel like i’m having fun.
    and it’s also really cool that connecting with people is the opposite of addiction, because personally when i’m consuming content it kinda feels like it’s just a lot more potent for my brain if it’s created by someone i know

    it might sound kinda cheesy, but one thing I've found along my journey that helped a LOT was using quitting as a way to prepare myself for a potential romantic connection. I figured I didn't wanna look at anything NSFW unless it came from someone I had legitimate feelings for, or be with someone who didn't share that same mindset; I also wanted to make sure that whoever came around was gonna get to meet a better version of me than what I was before I started tryna take control over my vices. it kinda created a tangible end result I could keep my eyes on

    Honestly, the aspect of community is the most important one on this list. I had an unhealthy relationship with one of my sexual kinks... but when I connected to a community who shared the same kink, I quickly learned from others that it isn't the fantasy that you should invest yourself in, but the possibility of sharing your desire/interest with another person. Other people, and especially partners, bring infinitely more fulfillment to your life, no matter how deep you think you've gone down a sexually deviant road

      You do not need discipline to quit the addiction, many try to quit by using just their willpower and eventually fail. As a matter of fact, discipline will only make the addiction WORSE. You must deconstruct your false beliefs about p* and come to the conclusion that you DON'T want to watch anymore. That's how you quit. Look up the EasyPeasy Method if you want a real solution.

    It has to start with the right mindset. If it comes from a place of deprivation, it will eventually lead to failure. They key is to question the urge. Stop for a minute and ask ourselves: Why do I want it so much? what will i get out of it? I'm not depriving myself of anything by not watching it. Depriving = Going against what we innately want by fighting it. It's much more effective to question the urge and let it pass naturally. A part of the journey is to rebuild our preferences. Find things we prefer more in environments outside cyberspace. The urge = That we want to do it. Questioning WHY we want to do it so much with a critical mind can help reduce that urge quickly.

    I first watched porn when I was 12 and have been addicted to it for a long time and I’m still struggling to overcome my addiction. I’m 19 now and when I wasn’t watching porn; I was happy and was excited for my future, I quit porn but something bad happened and everything fell apart in my life and porn crawled back into my mind and now I’m trying to stop watching porn because I’m miserable and it has affected my social life and anxiety and has caused my suicidal thoughts to come back. It has affected me mentally and physically and socially, I can’t talk to anyone about my addiction because I just can’t, I have to be strong for the people around me and I hate it, My porn addiction has affected me very badly and me getting a job because of my mental state and physical state and I don’t feel ok anymore and just want it to stop because I feel like a virus and I hate myself. Everything I had going for me has sunk and I’m drowning and I can’t tell anyone how I’m feeling because I know what they’ll say and I know, I’m not ok and I can’t quit hating myself and life because of Porn. I don’t know anymore and I hate how people think I’m just lazy and don’t want to do anything I’m just stuck and continued getting told get a job and you’ll be fine but if they could look inside of me and see, I’m not okay. I don’t want to be addicted anymore.

      install porn block app
      find a hobby that makes you happy (for me it was drawing and writing) or just distract yourself as much as possible from that habbit
      try to be with someone like a family member or a friend (cuz you won't be able to do it when someone is around)
      the rubber band method
      lastly try not to hate yourself, even if you slip and do it, everyone can get into this habbit and it's not easy stopping it so just have some patience, be strong and try to resist that urge as hard as you can.

    I was in a “support group” on zoom for a while with a therapist and it wasn’t any help at all, the only thing that was said constantly is that “porn is bad!” Without any advice on how to keep me away from it. We would also do little assignments or little group projects with each other but it all lead to porn again and again and again! I’ve been trying to quit but I keep relapsing, I have so many things to distract myself from watching porn but for some reason I always end up going into incognito. Sometimes I feel like I’m always going to be stuck in this cycle…

    As I’ve been trying to quit for awhile, here’s some stuff that I’ve found:
    Works:
    Actively asking myself “do I really need to?”
    Weighing the pros and cons (Will this make me happy? Or will I have another crushing PNC and be sad?)
    Recognizing what made me want to do it in the first place.
    Doesn’t work:
    Going cold turkey.
    Trying to “compromise” with myself, as it just leads to the same thing.
    Building a habit of doing it.

    The problem is it's too accessible. A drug addict still has to go buy the drugs, porn addiction is like having infinite crack in your pocket at all times.

    I've been struggling with this for, over a year honestly, and I've been really trying to get out of this for the longest time.
    I've been on track on trying to get out of this, so far I'm on day 3. And this'll be a motivation boost for me to really start trying again.
    The longest I've went for is for 8 days, yeah, rough. But I really want to try this time, wish me luck.

    Guys the best tip is to somehow make yourself disgusted to it...
    Heres a toxic tip....
    1)make yourself stressed enough or occupied enough that u cant think about things like this
    2)when u feel this way go talk to your friends and avoid talking about this topic or consuming content which triggers you...after a while it wont faze you anymore
    3) instead of opening the website try shut down your phone and put it away...this personally helped me a lot
    And know that theres nothing wrong with you...and that u can do it I believe in u stranger 💫

    Think the reason why I struggle so much with relapsing is because I feel so isolated with a fetish of mine. Connecting with others who share the same fetish as me has helped me feel like I’m not so alone with it, but I also think it’s caused me to relapse more often too because since I’m not experiencing it in real life, the next best thing is for me to watch videos of people engaging in what I’m into…
