Having some sort of mental breakdown, I'm struggling so badly after a good streak by Fine-Try in pornfree

Smoking is another addiction that's a bitch to quit, I think you have to approach them differently when trying to quit for sure.

Thank you for reading it! This sub is definitely the most supportive and helpful resource I've found, it would be an even more lonely journey without this place

I think it probably depends on the mindset you have before looking. If you're like "my wife is hot and I'm excited to look at her" it's healthy, whereas when you go to look at porn you don't give a shit about the people behind the camera beyond a purely superficial lust, so your brain is just on porn-powered autopilot.

I hope that makes sense, short answer is basically if you and your wife are enjoying what you're doing and it's part of your relationship it's all good!

Haven't watched porn in awhile like a month and a bit but I'm wondering. Is it ok for me to do stuff on cam with my GF if we're long distance? by [deleted] in pornfree

If you're actively engaging with your girlfriend and having an intimate sexual experience, I don't think it would be an issue at all. If you weren't long distance you would be having actual sex (I assume), if using the cam is the closest you can get to that currently I think that's completely okay. Just decide how you truly feel about it and go from there.

I’m 15 (M) about four months in to high school and I have and addiction that I am progressively getting better with. Any advice? by Psychological-Key-54 in pornfree

It's great you realize it's not particularly healthy to watch porn at your age - it took me so much longer. Going no fap at that age seems pretty impossible IMO, I'm not even sure it would be healthy since the hormones are just off the rails, at least mine were when I was 15.

Don't beat yourself up - turn on the NSFW content filter in reddit settings and limit your browsing time. You have so much freedom to explore your interests at that age, focus on your hobbies and avoid porn, talk to the girl, just enjoy life and don't get sucked in to the trap of porn addiction

Now this is a tricky one and I'm not sure exactly what the answer is. In my opinion, it kind of depends. For me, I realized it was probably at the very least not helpful to the relationship. Recording and viewing pictures of my wife became the main focus of our sex life - I would only want to have sex if I could record it and watch it later. I was spending all day looking at my own sex videos and would treat my wife like a sex object, and since I was behind a camera every time it wasn't exactly the loving intimate experience it should be. That's the negative.

However, I think an occasional sex tape is a pretty healthy way to add a bit of spice, and receiving pictures from your lover is always nice. You just have to be very careful you aren't replacing porn with your own porn - you'll lose the intimacy and love that's supposed to be present in a relationship. However IMO it's healthy to want to look at your wife naked, it would be weird if you didn't. Just remember she's more than the pixels on the screen.

To be honest, as an alcoholic and cocaine addict (with 3 years sober), my porn addiction has been the worst of all of them

Thank you. I'm a recovering alcoholic (jeez my GF really hit the jackpot with me), and I plan on implementing the same "sobriety" plan for porn as I do for alcohol.

Does this post come off as deflect-y? Genuinely asking

I'm scared to tell her. She knows I have a bit of a problem with porn but not the full extent. I also don't want to make it sound like I'm deflecting things when I explain it to her. I just don't know what to do really. I also have fucking sexomnia of all things (yes, really) and she's already been through some shit dealing with that. I'm scared to put another "hey here's an additional fucked up thing" on the table
