    Hey guys, to give some background, I am recovering from a horrible, very serious porn addiction. Porn made me incredibly depressed, anxious, ect. I have successfully gone 54,66,70 days and my current streak is 51 days of what I feel like is the rest of my life if I can keep this up. I am so happy with this beginning of my recovery from porn addiction but I have one problem. I have masturbated 4 times this week without porn. I am having success tackling my main issue (porn) but am struggling to curb masturbation to a minimal amount. Anyone have experience with this? Any advice? Thanks.

    If you had a horrible and very serious porn addiction a complete cold turkey is not advisable. I mean that in this situation the best thing is to quit first porn for 90 days and only after these 90 days you can quit masturbation too. So in my opinion you're doing well

    Yup, my attitude has been to take it easy on myself in regards to nofap so that it makes no-porn easier. That being said, how do I keep my masturbation in moderation, i’m not happy with 4 times in a week. At the beginning of my streak I didn’t masturbate for 37 days and it felt great.

    4 times in a week are not bad in this situation. In my opinion you should try to gradually reduce: the first 15 days you should masturbate 4 times a week, the subsequent 15 days try to masturbate only 3 times a week, the subsequent 30 days try to masturbate only 2 times a week and the subsequent 30 days masturbate only 1 time a week. After this period of 90 days, you should quit masturbation forever.
