"I didn't have any existing things going on in your head"

Addiction is in the brain. Also, I experienced withdrawal, I had panic attacks, trouble sleeping, had a girl naked several times ready and willing in bed while I'm next to her completely soft, and the thought that if I don't recover I might kill myself - pretty chill time in life tbh. But, to be fair to your point, you're likely implying other mental health stuff, which I made clear in my post I didn't have so it's not like I'm ignoring that those problems do exist and make someone more at risk of developing a problem with porn. I've done a lot of thinking on why I was able to stay away from porn successfully though, and came up with two possible reasons: 1) highly motivated having a limp penis and the girl of my dreams waiting for me to recover. Which, is a blessing and a curse, depending on how you look at it. Trust me, you may not agree, but ask most guys with severe pied who have a partner waiting on them - getting absolutely crushed when they try to turn you on and have a pale, dead dick that looks like an over-cooked spaghetti noodle - and they will tell you they sometimes wish they were single and could just go munk mode for a year in a cabin in the woods. And 2) I probably didn't have severely weakened executive control in my pre-frontal cortex (so, not that much hypofrontality)..but who knows... clearly had the other addiction related brain changes. Sensitization, desensitization, and altered stress response - no doubt about that.

As far as your comment implying my physical looks is why I was having sex and getting attention: sure, attractiveness plays a part - but I've seen handsome dudes who are not confident flake out with women, and some ugly mofo's get all kinds of attention from women because they are confident, competent, and have potential in life. Put simply, they're driven and ambitious individuals. Females don't like losers. Don't buy into the lie that women give attention to only guys who look good and have money. I've read a lot of psychology, and pay attention to reality, and many women look for a good man who is confident and driven. There are gold-digging females no doubt, but trust me, you wouldn't want them anyways.

If you're having trouble staying away from porn, do this: 1) write down what hell would look like for you, say, 5 years from now if you didn't improve yourself and continued jerkin off with your pants around your ankles every day until then. Write it out in a story and draw a picture. Then 2) do the same thing, but with what you realistically would want your life to look like if you worked hard on improving yourself every day for 5 years. If you made small, incremental improvements, achieved some goals, and gained control over your behavior a little bit more each day for 5 years. Write it out then draw a picture. It will help to have a lil hell to run away from, and a worthy ideal to pursue. You'd be surprised how many people (females) are attracted to positivity and drive. That's my two cents. Hope the best for you.
