    Over the years of daily pmo 1-3 times, I would like to confess that more than half of the time I was masturbate to not only online porn, but japanese hentai material.

    My first watch on porn is at the age of 9, discovered my parent's porn CDs. I bought my 1st hentai game at the age of 12, and started daily masturbate at 15.

    Somewhere between 21 to 22, I discovered that I couldn't have reaction to a real person, the erection is very weak or non-existent. Is it caused by the excess amount of hentai that I've watched, ie. only react to animated girls?

    I'm a great fan of japanese anime, but now I feel like I couldn't even watch it because on many occasion it links my brain to hentai...well sometimes may also go to the point that youtubing is not allowed, a strong self control is needed when youtube-ing to not to click on the video link that will somehow link your brain to porn, even with proper video.

    I haven't talk to anyone about hentai, and liking pmo to hentai makes me feel like a weirdo because no people around me are the same or even come close...

    I can totally relate to you. I've first seen some sort of hentai when I was no more than ten, it was a small minature of some CD covers in the corner of a cd shipping catalogue. They were tiny, but it was enough to spark some sick thoughts in my imagination. Throughout the first year of my marriage I imagined hentai characters in my head during sex, but I don't do that anymore, thank God.. The tricky part is that you justify that this crap isn't actual porn, just stuff some artist drew and there is no harm done. Bullshit, the harm you do to yourself is just the same IMHO. Stay strong and don't let yourself be fooled!

    It's a tricky thing, to be sure. I got a gig writing porn reviews when I was 24, and some of the first stuff they had me review was hentai. I knew it existed before that, but that was when I got my first real exposure to it. My interest faded here and there after that, and eventually, hentai made its way into the folder, if you know what I mean.

    And while hentai never replaced the real thing, there were days when it was all I wanted to look at, and I couldn't help wondering if something was wrong with me. That, and none of my friends were into it, so that didn't help but make me feel even weirder.

    As for associating it with other anime...that's a tough one. I haven't watched much anime in the last few years, and none since I embarked upon my challenge here, but I suspect I'd have a little of the same reaction - if not serious "gotta go have a peek" temptation, at least a little discomfort at the thought of association with past shame. But I suppose one of the great challenges here is not just to dissociate ourselves from porn, but to reach a point where avoiding porn doesn't rule our lives to the point where we get squeamish watching something innocuous that we used to enjoy.

    Try taking it one step at a time. Start with an anime that could not possibly in a million years be construed as sexually appealing - anything Ghibli, a really old Gundam series (unless you have a dojinshi history there,) or Binchou-tan.

    Bottom line: you're not weird, and hentai can be just as harmful as "other" porn. But it can be overcome, and given time, patience, and understanding, non-h anime can be enjoyed without feeling the need to look up the dirty stuff.

    I agree with what the previous guys said. It's not weird to like hentai. I was like you, growing up I was WAY into anime and subsequently hentai was my FIRST PMO. And for a while I only wanted to watch hentai. Over time I alternated between both hentai and real-life pornography. Finally I began to only watch real-life porn, but I could still PMO to hentai.

    Either way both hentai and real-life porn are not real, so it doesn't matter, in my mind, which one you prefer. They are just pixels on a screen. As you continue your journey into nofap and pornfree you will see that normal, real life women, will become very attractive. Of course, make sure you don't relapse - but be happy that real life women are beginning to look attractive. That's how I know that nofap is working, when real life, normal women (not "fake" supermodels!) start being really attractive.

    We all have our fetishes and internet provides them to us. I've never been much into hentai until they started making those very realistic 3d movies. But what better motivation to get over it than wanting to have sex with real women instead?

    Thanks for all the encouragement,
    The first time I get some hardcore hentai, I feel disgusted and throw it away(bought from neighborhood cd store), but they gradually become my collection.

    A little additional information to my hentai addiction:
    When I first become addicted to masturbation, 90% of the time is by watching hentai, the same piece of hentai over and over again for about a year (not having high speed internet)
    Although I'm consciously reduce watching hentai, the percentage still maintain 50-60% up till very recently.
    Over the past few year, every time I wanna to quit pmo, i'll 1st delete all my porn collection. Soon I realize that every time I delete, I'll download more, from 2GB, 6GB, ... up to 37GB last time.
    Through internet, I watch back the first hentai that accompany me for >a year, I found out the same hentai hardly give me same sensation. My reaction towards that is much much lower than it used to be...

    I'm deeply appreciate the support and advises I get in this forum
    Today is my Day 9, expecting withdrawal to hit me real hard. I stop watching all kinds of porn include hentai anime/manga, novels/words among others, in order to cure my ED this time, I must survive to at least 90 days, failing is not an option.

    I used to watch hentai too.
    In some ways, I'd say it's even worse than porn. At the beginning, I watched softcore normal porn (especially lesbian's, because I found women's bodies beautiful) but hentai is quite peculiar :*lot of violence/domination/SM/rape/incest stuff which made me switch step by step (thanks god, I didn't enjoy any rape porn, but I could have gone there).
    When I stopped porn I imagined I could never get rid of all these images. And, although our brain will never forget, the memories fade, and that's all what I want.

    Doujinshi searches dominated about half of my usage. The strange thing is that I was more interested in the relationships the characters had with each other rather than the specific acts they inevitably participated in (though that was a big draw too). That was really frightening to me though- that i was constantly reinforcing *THAT* idea of what a relationship between people was. Of course I knew better, but when it starts to creep into your imagination, you really start to wonder who or what is in control of your mind.

    I'm familiar with all the excuses for hentai- it's just "art," that "real" people weren't harmed or exploited or abused in the production, etc. I used them all. but the reality remained- I was using something for the purpose of achieving an O, and the question of it being traditional porn or hentai was irrelevant. Whether you get high from crack or heroin doesn't matter- you're still using a drug.
     
  11. Hentai is the idealized image of a woman that is made for one thing...
    But real women are soooooo much better and I have found that when I have not masturbated or a long time that just being close to a real woman is a very powerful thing and you will feel that too again once you practice.

    When I was little, I played anime/hentai dating sims and fell in love with the characters. I think this is one of the factors, that caused my love-shyness and unrealistically romantic worldview, alongside the love songs I listened to when I was young and dreamt about my dream girl.

    Anyway, I masturbated to hentai maybe a couple of times and I really liked it, but I never let myself do it again, because I thought that hentai-fappers are losers(now I know that all porn-fappers are).

    I understand why some people are so fond of hentai porn. In hentai the women are so flawless and ideal. They are always so joyful with a conquering smile. They are kind and don't have problems that real women do. It's a basically a no-brainer!

    Now that's fucked up. Hentai turns many people into wankers, who can't approach real women, because women have flaws. Shy guys love those cartoon-girls, because they never reject you or hurt your feelings. It's so damn easy to go back in to your apartment and say "konichiwa" and start fapping to your 2D girl of dreams. It's the ultimate fantasy and if you ask me, I think it's worse than "reality"-porn. Why? In "reality"-porn there are real people, so you still somehow connect sex to real people. Even though they act unrealistically, they still are human. You can find people in public and take them to your apartment and have sex with them. But where are you gonna find a 2D cartoon girlfriend? She will always be pixels on your screen.

    Anyway, all porn is bad. Avoid it.

    @Michylu Why are you talking about the porn you use? What are you doing here? Are trying to quit?

    Some of my first PMOing was to cartoons--those PGish cartoons of the 90's and also in video games--because in my home it was hard to come by anything harder. When I finally got internet access, animated things continued to exert a heavy draw on me. It's not a hard and fast rule, but from listening to a lot of people's stories, I've found that the way a person starts off their addiction usually controls the types of things they're attracted to later. Kids who start off voyeuring others usually continue to be attracted to voyeurish PMOing, and those whose first sexual experiences were with a certain type of fetish, usually have that fetish follow them throughout life. Doesn't mean it's the only thing they PMO to, but often it's a theme that returns again and again. Certainly there's something chemical there, probably, but it also seems like maybe it's going back to the scene of the crime - that is, going back to the first type of PMOing that felt most satisfying and reassuring.

    Animated stuff is still catnip to me, some of the most powerful temptations I have to address.

    Hentai was actually my first source of PMO. Started when my friend introduced me to a certain online flash game in grade 3.

    I can completely relate to you in level of addiction to hentai. I masturbated to hentai almost exclusively for about fifteen years and I too eventually began to not be attracted to real women and could only reach maximum arousal through hentai. In the last couple of years I made a decision to stop hentai and slowly, up to about a year ago, I completely stopped looking at it. After I stopped about three to six months later I began to notice that I was becoming attracted to real women again and now I only think about real girls, although the thought of hentai still pops my mind from time to time, I dismiss it as quickly as it comes and I'm beginning to ask myself what my big appeal to hentai ever was. If you want to stop looking at hentai you need to delete all of it and wipe your computer, keep yourself busy and, at first, only get online when its absolutely necessary, find someone you can talk to about it, if you feel like you HAVE to look at it just masturbate without it but absolutely do not fantasize about animated women, dont substitute real porn for hentai, it does not work and just leads back to hentai, and, this was absolutely needed for me, don't watch any animated shows and don't play any video games because those are the biggest triggers. You have to realize that you have an addiction that's just as bad as drugs or alcohol and it will take about 90 days before you begin to feel a big difference mentally and a year or two before you fully get back to what is considered normal. Hentai will always be in there and the more you watch, the more it perverts you and warps your mind, trust me on this, it is the quickest way to screw up your mind compared to regular porn, I couldnt believe the type of hentai I was watching at the end, it was completely sick. But the more time that passes, the less you'll think about and eventually the compulsive need for it will leave too. A big motivator for me was that I was never going to be able to have the life I wanted, wife and kids etc, if I kept on watching that garbage. Good luck and stay positive, it can be done and you will feel like a completely different and much better person.

    I too. Since i was 10yrs old i found a hentai (Goku Hentai i think) in a store. And by that time i was curious whatis that thing.
    Years after that i found a porn dvd in my dads cabinet. A lot of it. I watch it all and fap almost everyday until the dvd yet not to be found.
    And year 2012/2013 came. my mom bought me a pc and with an internet connection. I was happy that i can play youtube videos and some stuffs everyday. And at night i search in google for some cartoons nudes and i found the word hentai.

    I search the hentai word in google then a lot of amazing results came. I visited all of it. And fap all night. By that time i was addicted until now with hentai shows.

    I'm 21yrs old now. In college. No relationships. VIRGIN AT ALL.
    still watching hentai. *sadlyf*

    But now i deleted all hentai's in my phone and in my laptop it is backup but im not watching it until now.
    Sometimes i can make 3-4day without masturbating at all and after that urges coming.

    im on day 2 without fap. I plan to reboot myself.
    If i can make it on 14days without fap i will delete also the backup hehe.
     
  17. I realise it is all porn addiction, so the actual type matters very little. But why search for drawings of tits when you can see real ones? o_O I genuinely have no idea why drawings have a greater pull than a real body? :confused:

    I was never exclusively into hentai, but I did watch animated stuff a bit. Mostly because I could find more novel or extreme stuff if it truly* wasn't limited by reality.

    *real porn is still minimally governed by reality.

    I know. I guess theres something wrong with me why so im into it.

    I guess that i always watch anime all the time like its now my entertainment. I don't watch any tv shows other than anime.
    Geez. Im glad i stopped watching some anime and hentai these days

    Day 4/7 ✌️
     
  20. It was not my intention to imply that. I was just puzzled as it seemed illogical to me. But the fact is that it is extremely popular, so many feel as you do. I am pleased that you are challenging yourself to stop watching it these days. Cool! :cool:
