    I'm addicted to porn. Usually using it a few times per day.
    The problems it causes are few. Worst of all is the time it consumes. I postpone many things that are not that hard to do, I don't acomplish my targets because I spend to much time in front of the screen.
    Unlike some people that (as they state here) start ignoring things as being unattractive, I'd like the oposite! The problem is that my reaction in real life reduced to almost nothing. My wife is attractive, beautyful, lovely! But she cannot compete with the diversity of girls and genres I get from porn. My first challenge will be to stop watching - although using the imagination is OK. I do have a meaningfull relationship, so the problem does not lie there.
    I did try a few times to stop this addiction. The longest I succeeded was 19 days.
    Any suggestions?
    Thankes, Paul.

    Yes- get a counter. It's good for starters but don't make it your sole focus. Congratulations on making this step- eliminating porn is HUGE- you will see an immense improvement in your relationship with your wife- and others. Giving up porn and PMO/MO was the BEST investment in myself, my family and my life goals that I ever made. Yes- there are withdrawals and symptoms to manage. You will find regular struggles, urges and temptations to go back to your old habits BUT stay strong and persevere!

    Me and my wife believe that M is OK, as long as it comes as an urge from within.
    The problem is that I use this self-produced-drug to escape reality. Sometimes when I had a bad day, sometimes when I have lots of free time to waste, and sometimes as a prize... there's always an excuse.
    So I decided to avoid the external stimulation in porn (any kind. even stories and pics). If I want to escape, I'll go for a walk or a ride on my bike. M is just for when the urge is internal and not forced by some story or video.

    What do you guys think? Do I make sense? Or should I try to stop any kind of M, even without porn?
