    Hello. As my signature correctly states, I am currently on day 118 of no porn. Longest streak in 20 years, don't have much troubles with beating it at the moment.

    The problem I see now is real life. So when I go outside, I still always stare at the girls, mostly their bodies, so I realize it's not good. It's better than it was before - in the past, this staring at ladies made me horny so I would rush home to masturbate on porn, but I don't get this rush anymore.

    Still, I don't think it's good and it makes me feel low, but it's hard not to stare, it's like a reflex now, just like it was with porn videos. I still think about the girls in the sexual manner when I stare.

    Anyone went through this and won? Is it something that I need to battle at all or is it normal? If I would battle this - how? Just look past them? Look away?
    Any advice please and share your experience.

    If you want to know more about my journey of fighting porn, I made a 8 minutes video on YouTube:

    The most healthy thing is to approach them. Not even to pick up, but simply to chat. You need to brake that neurological chain in your head that says: if there is hot woman - > INSTANT SEX.
    You need to rewire yourself and the best way to do it is to go and speak to them. Actually, it is the only path that works.
