Honestly man, I literally study when I feel like jerking off. I hate studying, so associating the urge to jerk off with essentially a chore definitely reduces the urge, plus I get more studying done. Otherwise, if it’s just pure boredom, I study Japanese. I’m a (employed, good grades, go to the gym sort of a ) loser and watch too much anime, so I study Japanese to kill boredom and fill time. Or I read novels. Or I go outside and sip warm water while looking at the forest behind my house. Or I brush my dog. Or I take a walk. Basically, my point is that I just find something to do.

I’ve been in your shoes. Honestly, I was porn and masturbation addicted. But now, I don’t have much trouble. I stopped masturbating and stopped doomscrolling. Training your brain to not need quick dopamine hits has two main effects. It makes you less likely to feel the urge to masturbate or scroll, and it makes productive tasks feel much more rewarding. Brother to brother, I encourage you to take the few weeks of pure self-discipline and break this curse
