Was feeling great for two days, I was extremely productive and everything. But tonight I couldn't sleep at all. And so my mind wandered and I caved in and went to a hentai site. What really sucks is that I wasn't even in the mood for this, I just couldn't sleep and felt stressed by it. I've noticed one of the biggest factors in keeping my streaks is by sleeping early. But that's very difficult for me... So here I am awake at 2am with even less interest in sleeping. And it freaking sucks cause I need to wake up early in order to be productive! Why can't I quit hentai!? I set up a password protected porn blocker and I forgot the password so it was working! But then I used another phone to look up hentai... I hate this.
Hey, hang in there my friend. You did the first step which is to admit it. I know how hard it is, so good job on that. Don't make yourself worse than you need to be. Say "okay, that happened, now what can I learn from it?". You already noticed that sleeping early is a big factor, so now you might consider working on it. My suggestion would be to analyze the reasons for going to bed late and then try to come up with solutions for them. For me sleep also has a huge role for my well-being and willpower, so I feel you. This whole thing is a process which means there won't be an instant change from 0 to 1, but rather a gradual improvement. That were my thoughts to what you wrote or "my 2 cents". Never give up Even though you might feel bad at the moment, as long as you keep coming back, you haven't lost yet
Dude, hentai is like crack cocaine and its tangent to pedophila ( think about the youth faces and high pitched voices of all female characters). Interestingly enough, hentai exploded aftee the ban on child pornography in Japan, which used to be legal. Think about Japan, their population is literally shrinking because they dont have sex anymore, something like 50% of men under 30 are virgins. Stay away from anything hentai related. Oh and never sleep with your phone in the bedroom, leave it in another room
Thanks for the words of encouragement Baerle. I appreciate it. I should have joined this community sooner, but it was difficult to talk to others about this stuff. And sleeping early is very hard for me...right now it's almost midnight and I'm still awake :/ Mainly out of stubborness cause I am actually tired. Ultrafabber, yeah it's very addictive. Although I don't really think there's much of a connection with child pornography(But I rather not get into that topic right now). I have 4 other cellphones in my room that aren't my main one. Probably not a good thing, but I did block porn on them today. And made the password a number that has meaning to me and will hopefully force me to re-evaluate the situation. (And I still don't remember the password for my main phone's porn blocker lol) Hopefully I can build up another streak. Although not gonna lie, the temptations are strong today.
You need to change perspective of reading hentai. I find some are really funny that I don't need to fap at all. or the story is emotionally good that it made you shed tears instead sheding semens l.. oops sorry for cringey example
I'd say it's " *only* almost midnight", as this is an improvement to the "it's 2am" from the night before I recommend seeing small changes like this as an improvement. Even if they are still technically bad, they are already better than the situation before. Like -1 is still a negative number, but at least better than -2
Agreed. But it's not gonna be easy. Funny thing is that I never cared about hentai at all for the longest time. I only saw some of it here and there. But then I got really bored of my regular porn for the longest time, so I started reading hentai instead of watching and I was hooked since. And at first it didn't bother me. Due to them having better stories and characters than regular porn(Not like thats hard tho...) I shamelessly enjoyed them. But now...yeah, now I have to stop.
