    I'm 18 years old and I've been watching porn since i was 13. I've never realized that this weekly "hobby" could turn into daily routine, and become an addiction.
    I decided to quit watching porn after I realize that my difficulty to have a decent erections with different girls that I had sex with was maybe due to porn. Since then (two years ago) I tried hundred times to quit watching porn but I always ended up watching it again after a maximum of 2 weeks of abstinence.

    It's been 7 days since I last jerked off but my problem is:

    • Even if i don't reach orgasm, I can't resist to go on porn website, watch some video to get exited, masturbate myself and then stop before I reach an orgasm. Every time I am on my laptop on my bedroom I have some images of sexy milfs getting fucked properly and i feel and extreme urge to go on a porn website to watch those milfs.
    I know that it is not the way I'll get rid of my addiction, and my question is:
    • Do you guys have any tips that could help me to control my urges to watch some porn video ?
    Thanks for your help guys.

    Stop watching porn. Do not look at it. If you see it accidentally stop immediately. Maybe try going a weekend without phone or laptop to jumpstart your process

    Try leaving your laptop in a public place where others can see you maybe?
     
  5. Maybe you should ask the question 'how bad is it going to have to get before i stop' ? I started using porn when I was 14-15 years old, this was back in the days of dial up internet (i'm 33 now) and I'm over 2 years PMO free. For me I had got so deep into the addiction and so far down the rabbit hole that is internet porn, that I was eventually arrested because some of the content I accessed was illegal. Now at your age I hope you have never veered onto that course, but many people do end up in that place because of the desensitisation to regular 'vanilla' porn. I can tell you it took me about 10 years of viewing legal content before I started to explore other avenues. You sound like me when I was 18 still raging with hormones. I used to view porn even though I had a girlfriend at that age and I thought what I was doing was harmless but, I didn't realise back then how it affects the developing mind. I think it is good that you realise that your behaviour around porn is not healthy, you are in a better place than I was at your age because, I didn't question it back then. Half the battle is admitting to yourself that you have a problem. The other part is how you are going to fill the time that you used to spend viewing porn. Getting involved in a hobby has helped me and also playing my guitar, another thing is getting psychotherapy or counselling. Now i know that sounds a bit drastic but consider the fact that porn is like a drug and we use it to get a hit of dopamine, when people use drugs its often because they are self medicating and trying to block out difficult or unwanted emotions.

  6. Some men attempting the rebooting process believe that as long as they avoid ejaculation, they are successfully rebooting. This twisted logic leads them to endorse an unhelpful practice common to Internet porn users, called
    edging. This is masturbating up to the edge of orgasm, then stopping to cool things down, then revving up again. Three common versions of edging:
    1. Watching porn without masturbating
    2. Masturbating while viewing porn, but not ejaculating
    3. Masturbating without porn and without ejaculating
    Since a reboot is defined as no porn or porn substitutes 1 & 2 make no sense. For those trying to overcome problematic porn use, edging while viewing porn (or fantasizing about porn) is far worse than simply having an orgasm and getting it over with. Why is that? It all comes down to dopamine.

    Addiction-related brain changes and sexual (Pavlovian) conditioning are initiated by:
    1. Dopamine levels which are higher than levels attained through natural means (drugs, for example)
    2. Moderate dopamine levels that remain elevated for long periods
    3. Combo of 1 & 2
    If you are edging to porn you are combining naturally high dopamine levels of masturbation with the dopamine raising abilities of 1) exciting, novel visuals 2) searching the net for porn 3) finding surprising or shocking genres. Edging can keep dopamine levels elevated for hours, and train the brain to require constant visual stimulation, rapid-fire novelty, clicking from scene to scene, particular fetishes, and the pressure of your own hand. None of this matches real sex...

    Think once women look different but we get same satisfaction with all so it is just our wants to watch some more women but we have to know all are same don't waste on this.just stop it. Unworthy for us
     
  8. like some of the others mentioned block it and try to train your mind you dont need it.
    -get away from screens
    -delete entire porn collection (really)
    -porn blockers
    i used stayfocused nuclear mode on my pc to block any sites I flagged set to unlock in about a year. i also blocked the page to disable it or download alternative browsers
    for phone i have a dns changer app that utilizes opendns dns 208.67.222.123 and have it set to start on boot and locked from deletion and disable with a crazy password.
    -get away from P annd it gets easier tho i do have my urges sometimss
     
  9. Simply realise the truth… Excessive fapping is basically a nice way of telling someone that they are castrating themselves. If you already having PIED at such a young age just imagine how bad it will be as you get older. If that scary thought, is not enough to make you stop now then you are going to be in a world of hurt.

    As guys we feel obligated to please a woman I don’t know if you have a GF already but if you want one or you want to maintain a relationship with one put a stop to the fapping now before it gets any worse. Find some self control and do whatever it takes because difficulty to have a decent erections with different girls as you put it should be your wake up call.

    Straight up truth right there.

    Porn = difficulty to have a decent erection

    Read it over and over again until it sinks in.
