If its affecting your ability to build relationships or its stopping you from hitting goals/deadlines, then its an issue. Go to the gym, read a book, learn something new. If you want to stop, just distract your mind with something else. Find what works for you
Nothing wrong with jerking off. Ditch the porn, use your you brain. Just do it every day when you wake up like brushing your teeth.
Buy a dumb phone.
You have to fill you life with other things. Get some hobbies, set up something recurring every week. Hit the gym. Make some friends and be there for them.
I got into endurance sports which take up a lot of time but keep you from doing self-destructive activities.
Probably if you can’t stop it is addiction… Block all websites and delete social media and you will end with this soon
Just use your imagination, and don’t wash it at great speed every day.
Read the easypeasy method. It is great book. It helps you change your mindset on porn. I have also gained lots of benefits reading it!!
i would advise you to observe your emotions when you feel like watching porn. a desire to watch porn might arise out of stress, anxiety, loneliness or just plain boredom.
it’s good that you have realized that you want to quit porn. it’s likely because you realize that watching porn (and jerking off) isn’t good for you. remind yourself this the next time you have an urge, when you try to convince yourself about how it’s okay. remind yourself that porn isn’t going to solve any of your problems.
watching porn is effectively:
quitting porn became surprisingly easy for me when i realized just how embarrassing it is to be someone who watches porn. would anyone look up to a person whose hobby is sitting alone in a dark room, watching porn and jerking off? i wouldn’t. make it a game to see how often you can say no to your desire to watch porn, you’ll also become a lot more confident in your own abilities in the process.
social media is awful too, delete that shit. focus on yourself. life’s beautiful and i’m sure there are things you enjoy doing. think back to times when you were a child and loved doing things just for the sake of doing them, and pick those hobbies back up. your insecurities will go away in the process.
Yes it’s addiction, but nearly the entire population is struggling with technology dependence. It is common, but that does not mean you have to accept it!
You can block adult websites & apps. I would try deleting all of it just for a short term commitment. Just pick a time limit, even if it’s 1 hour. See what your mind is like without it
Reading and going to the gym. Set a goal when going to the gym and pick a genre of novels you’d enjoy. Also fix your posture, and take your vitamins.
Yes,it’s a addiction.I’m also trying to quit it and im now 1 week clean of mastubation,not porn. I realised mastubation is not the problem,porn is. I would recommend blocking everything that can stimulate you to “do it” . I wish you succes at destroying this addiction
Start by changing the username
Remove social media apps, turn on the blank and white mode on your cellphone. My “digital wellbeing meter” says my time spent on phone has cut down to half since I did this. Black and white screen repels me from using my phone (I think I will not care about my phone in 2 weeks time)
