    Guys please help I can't remember the last time I logged in here and this addiction is becoming increasingly difficult to shake off with all those new apps that aren't exactly porn but still are if you know what I'm saying, all those gorgeous looking women all over the globe, dem models, all the accounts and s***. It's not just porn actresses anymore!

    I still remember the time when I stayed around 80 days porn-free, monk mode. No masturbation or erotic thoughts, nothing. A lot of self-improvement and resolutions, it wasn't easy but it was rewarding from the beginning and things got easier and much better over time, those were the best days of my recent history by a mile. It was well worth it. I didn't stay vigilant, got overconfident and slipped and then indulged myself and went back to the old habits.

    Had a few attempts later over the course of 2-3 years having known and experienced how good it was to live porn-free and get a much better grip on life overall and be happy, make progress, achieve goals and even enjoy the little things in life once again, even if you still enjoy'em now, they still feel a lot better when you're porn-free, it has to do with dopamine and stuff like that as most of you already know by now. I managed to stay +50 days at times but never really got to 90 which was always the goal and then maybe relying on moderate masturbation till getting married or something. Kindly refrain from any judging and respect how diverse we are. Some things I just don't expect you to understand, no offence intended.

    Do you agree with me that it's more difficult now than a few years ago? Then ever before? Any ideas or tips for your fella?

    Hey man. I know what you mean. P-subs (porn substitutes) are everywhere on demand. I avoid them all.
     
  3. I took the time to evaluate my internet use in general, not just porn and have found that helped. So not just porn but asking myself which social media apps/websites do I need to stay in touch with friends, which am I just using to pass the time, which do I feel empty after visiting etc. I cut out a lot and it did definitely help although I do still struggle at times.

    The world is a more stressful place right now and people turn to porn in those times. There’s a reason porn hub made premium free at the start of the pandemic.

    Just quit all social media. It’s hard, I know, because I’m doing it too. If you don’t engage in social media, you won’t be exposed to nearly as much “sexual media”. Then, you can essentially “starve” the addicition.

    Social media is always giving you little hits of sexual dopamine, until finally your craving for a larger hit become too strong to deal with.

    Additionally, have a game plan for triggering material. Complete this sentence:

    When I see something triggering I will ____________________.

    Then, commit to sticking to the plan when you are triggered. It isn’t easy at first, but you’ll get there!

    These are a few things that have helped me. Good luck!

  11. To further enfeeble and effeminate men who are already weak-minded and prone to manipulation tactics and fear mongering.
