    Well im back to the forums for a good reason that was discussed a post ago. After reading some of the posts by others. I realized that my porn addiction stretched further than i expected. Now im not terrible with girls i do get some girl attention ( thank god my confidence is based on social interactions) but recently i texted my friend saying that i always want a new girl. I told him that a girl would be a goddess to me before i talk to her and once i talk to her and get her and feel that she likes me i automatically dont want her and want something new. i also told him that whenever i sit with 1 girl my mind is running and thinking about all the other girls i could spend time with and sit with instead.

    At first i thought this was due to the number of girls in my uni and thought it was a common problem. Thats not true. Its the novelty affect. Its the same phenomena as clicking on a picture you like only to get a high and switch to another one and then another and so on.
    Its novelty in girls in real life. Its the reason why i have been single for 4 years its the reason why im starting to prefer guy company more than girls. its the reason why building a connection, other than the typical flirting teasing and laughing, with a girl is seeming impossible. Even with my closest female friends i often find myself so disgusted by them that i ignore them.

    The constant novelty in porn is literally making me dependent on novelty even i real life. I need to stop porn.
    I want your opinions on this, talking to others helps me so much. Please input.

    Read my reply on the other thread you made :p

    Simply put, one of the benifits of quitting PMO is that you get more interested in women. You get more interested in who they are as human beings, rather then looks or in your case, some new thing you have.
     
  3. I can totally relate to the novelty effect. Mine was sex chatting via Facebook. @anony mous and now you mention it is is the same effect as clicking through images. Ive definitely had more respect for women during the last couple of months, still a long long way to go though. I'm certainly not ready foe a relationship
