need your help! what else to do instead of porn

Hey man. You can do quite a few things. I would read, exercise and socialize. You gotta do things to improve your whole entire life now. You won't get the same satisfaction right away because it doesn't hit you as hard as porn but you will start to adapt. Keep up the great work.

 

Well, watching porn is a selfish thing, so anything unselfish would probably do. Things like helping others, or trying to make a change in the world. Going online and giving people advice, making time for your grandmother, get involved at a dog shelter, wash somebody's car. I think the best activities are the ones that shift our thinking away from ourselves.

 

Before doing PMOing, do some self searching and determine what you found "fun" during that time. If you were 12 or something before you last PMOd, think of how much fun or something talking to friends or playing sport were. Focusing on working out is a good idea especially at a local gym, because you can both work out and make friends to hang out with. As someone else said, reading can also take your mind off porn (don't read books with any triggers though!).

 

PLAY POKEMON GO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In all seriousness though, a technique I've began to use (I call it "the lazy method") is helping quite a bit. Basically, if I'm sitting down or lying in bed and I'm tempted to PMO, I just sit there and do nothing until the urge passes. It's great because you literally don't have to do anything. Just sit there!

It might not work for everyone, because it's important that you also don't dwell on the thought of masturbating.

If the urges aren't wearing off, the. Go do something.
Here are a few things to do that I've thought of
Mediate, go find a geocache, go ride a bike, skateboard, rollerblades, go on YouTube and learn how to juggle, build something, meet with friends, go for a walk, do some origami, learn a card trick, photoshop something, go "music exploring" (go to the iTunes Store and try to find new music that you like. There are thousands of bands out there that are great that nobody knows about!), text an old friend, read about something you're interested in, clean the house,

Hope this helps! Good luck with your reboot!

 

good point, it's hard to beat the excitement of porn, I think people need to be educated on that, every one is looking to feel as good, from doing normal activities, why, even sex with wife does not add up to excitement from watching porn, in some cases, just generalizing.

 

hi, how are you doing, with your goals? are you managing to stay positive and not give in? how are you feeling?

those days are also the very worst for me, hard to get past them, I am on day four. I plan on doing some real exiting things on day 14 or so, like go to a funny movie, to keep my self happy as I can.

 

Let me tell you my story. When I decided not to indulge in this pornographic mess I, too, faced such boredom but slowly I realized there are many more things in this world. I started using the same laptop and Internet connection for other things which I used for porn. I would download pdf format of famous books and read. I read Albert Camus, J. Krishnamurti, Fredrick Nietzsche, Eckhart Tolle, Osho, Brain Greene, Richard Dawkins..... I was astonished by their insight, by their knowledge, by their quest, by their dedication for something valuable for all. I thought these people are gem of humankind, they contributed so much! And what I have done as a human being? Watching porn and wasting my resources! This realization put me in great shame. I was ashamed.

Now my priorities have been changed.
