    Hello everyone!

    I've finally decided to make an account in here, i used to come in incognito mode and read threads back in March and it really opened my eyes to the dangers of masturbation, i eve managed to make my longest streak back then (from 20th April to 17th June) which was amazing, best time of the year lol, i need to do it again so i'm currently on day 10 and i'm planning to stop forever this time. I'm not a heavy user of porn, i only started 2 years ago at age 16, and this year i didn't watch THAT much (fapped 34 times this year so far lol).

    Okay i'll come straight to the point, this thread is about my older brother, he's 20, and he's WAY more addicted than i'am, i didn't speak with him for over 2 years because of alot of arguements.

    During the last couple years i've always stumbled across porn in his PC (he's the main reason i masturbated the first time, i was 16 and you know, curiosity killed me, and he was ny big brother, i figured if he does it, why shouldn't i?)

    I didn't keep up with his porn consumption this year at all so i had no idea what he was watching (i remember his porn stach being 100% normal sex (man and woman))

    Yesterday, what i found him watching almost made me throw up, it was some f'cked up hentai, gore and other creepy shit i dont even want to name, you're free to guess. I couldn't hold it so i confronted him because he left a tab open and my sister could have seen it.

    So my first discussion with him in the past 2 years was about his fucked up porn activities, he didn't seem to give a shit, he deleted his history and shit, and when i told him about nofap he called it 'losers' and other stuff.

    Basicall it's exactly what i read on this web, he watched so much porn that normal sex seems boring now so he moved to fucked up and probably illegal shit to get that dopamine rush.

    So, im asking for your advice, how can i stop him before he loses himself?

    I have 1 idea, i can destroy his computer...someway, i'll think how i can do it (he doesn't have a phone, so his pc is the only way he can access that shit), what do you think?

    Thank you so much for reading, and i hope i can get help soon, sorry for the cursing and bad grammar, English is my third language :p
     
  2. Great post.....but if this is really about your bother then he has to do this for himself....If it's about you though......admitting it is the first step. Then build from there.

    Bro, I don’t know what to tell you. People can’t be helped until the my want to be helped. You can be patient with him and have conversations with him. Tell him the benefits of giving up porn, but until he reaches the point where he wants help, it probably isn’t going to happen for him. Your a good little brother though. Just stay patient with him. He may come around.

    Do not destroy his computer or his property, this will be unuseful for his addiction and would just make things worse between he and you.

    My personal opinion is that we can't make another person do what we want, even if we know is bad for them, or we think is bad for them.
    The main thing is to continue on your nofap and no porn.

    Maybe when you reach a year he will acknowledge that you reach something and he is the actual looser, and decide to change.
    So, the only way is the example.

    @helterskelter haha thank you, but this is about my brother not me, thank god i didn't start this addiction at a young age, and thank god i found about this website before its too late otherwise i would have probably ended up like him. I feel responsible because i never talked to him about it, now as you can see, it went too far and i can't take it anymore, i feel guilty.

    @Burrich1 thanks man, but here is the thing though, we don't get along, like at all, but i still feel like i need to help him because he doesnt seem to know about how addictive this is, i mentioned porn addiction and he said 'trust me i dont have a porn addiction'...but i'm 100% sure he does, it's not normal to download hunderds and hundreds of porn videos, then start watching weird gore stuff, every single day.

    @Mattew Yes you're right, i found a better idea, what if i block porn from our house's IP?

    Is that possible? Is there a program that bans any sexual website from your IP (it needs to be done through my PC, not his, also doesn't show notification that its blocked because of a porn blocker, and ONLY bans porn websites, not normal sites that contain little to no nudity/sex)?

    Thanks for the replies guys, really appreciate it!
