    In my experience, I've found that simply occupying my mind with something else for 10-15 minutes works wonders. Just wanted to know what others think!

    For me, it is more difficult to manage my thought life than it is for me to fight porn. My thoughts are my brains last go to for dopamine. It's like a pathetic attempt for my brain to get its next fix. Back when I was a teenager I could easily get off to my thoughts, but now that I have been desensitized through pornography I need much more than just thoughts to get off. I honestly just allow the thoughts to play their course, but I don't act on them. I just let the thoughts pass by like clouds in the sky. With porn however I have to be a lot more vigilante. I have created a "Personal Porn Plan" to help me fight porn in a logical and ordered manner. It's my emergency go to when I'm in a rut. It includes all of my triggers both sexual and emotional. It also includes a "Plan of Action" when I am tempted. It's my exit strategy when things get heated. It serves to identify when and where I am most vulnerable or suspect to fall to porn. It's basically a defense mechanism that I use to keep me from watching porn. It works only if I have the will power to read over it when tempted.
