Downloaded 113 porn files today

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, May 4, 2019.

  1. I go through cycles of PMO addiction and withdrawal every few weeks.
    Recently I have gone without PMO for about a week and all of a sudden I felt the urge to masturbate and download porn files.
    I didn't masturbate but I spent all afternoon downloading files that have stuck in my memory previously.
    I have downloaded 113 videos in total. Whenever I relapse, I notice I remember the websites and videos I find most arousing and want to hoard or keep them for future.
    I lost track of time. I count 6 hours wasted time.
    I know if I masturbate later I am just going to feel disgusted and guilty afterwards and then delete all the files, only to download them again after a few weeks.
    I am stuck in a loop that I need to break out of.

    I understand you very well. You are definitely in negative cycle. You are like a mouse pressing on the lever to give a dopamine hit.

    Break the cycle.

    1. Delete the files
    2. Disconnect from the internet
    3. Get rid of the smart phone and trade for a dumb one
    4. If necessary smash up your devices

    No more excuses. You will be on here a year from now with the same thread if you don’t follow the above advice.
     
  3. even I quit now, I still dont get why people download videos instead of watching them online...
     
  4. I think I download because I am wary of an under 18 porn ban here in the UK on 15 July where you will have to enter your personal details from a passport or driving licence to prove you're over 18. I don't want give anyone my details this way, I feel like a criminal if I did. I know there are ways of getting around it like VPN but I suppose that's the main reason I download a lot recently. Also I wanted to stop the act of clicking for hours and hours of 'boring' porn so in future I would have only the ones I like. Though I know arousal is triggered by novelty and not necessarily just nudity. I know all has to go otherwise I'm just going to repeat. It's difficult I feel like a drug addict.

    I used to do it a lot. I think part of it was the thrill of searching and the anticipation of watching it later. In fact, if you go on forums at download sites, a lot of guys will talk about having a bunch of stuff downloaded that they haven't even watched

    So, do you have an account on some particular site where you do all this downloading? Perhaps you should delete that account. I guess it won't help if it's easy to create a new one, but sometimes thats not the case.
     
  8. no, you are not an addict. You are obsessed with PMO, and it is not a MUST to do PMO. You can quit whenever you WANT if you are 100% dedicated
