    First time poster here!

    I am determined to kick my daily PMO habits, and it is difficult to not get horny or want to watch porn after a day or two of no PMO. How did you guys wean yourself off your porn addiction? Did gradually cutting down the frequency of PMO help you guys?

    Thanks :D

    This is just me talking about myself.
    I made a rule of absolutely no porn any more no exceptions.
    Then I created the safety valve of allowing myself to masturbate to orgasm on a prearranged date. First time, after 5 day abstinence, second after 7 days abstinence, I'm into the middle of 10 days abstinence. Still not a spec of porn in 21 days, and hardly any urges toward it.
    Knowing that I can pop off an O if I really need to helps for me.
    There are all kinds of approaches, come up with your own. Try to think through all of the details first so that you don't get confused about your boundaries once you are into it. It helps avoid doubts.

    I think that leaving PMO gradually isn't possible for an addict. Because addiction means that you can't control the habit. If I allow myself to PMO for example once a week, I can't keep that promise and at some point it will become excessive. First it is once a week, then twice, then every other day and so on and so on.

    Leaving PMO gradually is same sort of things as trying to recover from heroin addiction by injecting heroin only once a week. It probably won't work.
