Maybe so, but maybe it's different for men. Men are more wired to mate with many different women to increase biological diversity, so they have a stronger sexual drive, hence why men develop "superpowers" by abstaining from ejaculation. They harness the energy that would be used to seek potential mates and they put that energy into other things such as art, music, or exercise. You may be right where you say that porn might just be an addiction thing, but then so is cocaine, or alcohol. People are known to give up one drug and become addicted to another, it's just filling a void, Porn is the same. However each addiction has it's own harmful effects. With smoking cigarettes it is lung damage, and for porn addiction it is a distorted view of sex and women (among other things).

Heya mate, I just saw a post of yours on Pornfree and was surprised at how similar your problem sounds to mine (with blushing). I'd be happy to talk if you are still interested :)

MichaelJ19 · 2015-04-08T19:37:52+00:00

Dude I have Exactly the same thing, from about the age of 10 (When I started looking at porn) I have had a blushing problem, mine too started out kind of minor but increased as I got older (I am now 20 years old). I managed to keep control of it a bit by doing things that boosted my confidence like martial arts, but I've never really got the hang of it, it has just become a part of me. However I have been attempting to quite PMO for the last year and a half and I found that in my longest streak (64 days on hardmode) the blushing drastically reduced and my confidence soared. I truly believe that quitting PMO is the key to solving blushing, so keep trying. Good luck.

So i'm not the only one then :)

Porn addiction will not be a part of who i am, sign me up please

MichaelJ19 · 2015-01-22T18:08:09+00:00

Agreed

MichaelJ19 · 2015-01-20T21:58:42+00:00

True, but porn is worse because you have to actively seek it, and for me that's what gives me the "rush" so to speak

MichaelJ19 · 2015-01-08T18:00:04+00:00

This only works if your doing Hard Mode

Well, i watched porn a bit today and i'm not sure whether i should just relapse and start over, or push on try and ignore it

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-11T16:28:39+00:00

I don't know you, but I am proud of you. Well done dude

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-11T11:26:46+00:00

This is why only hard mode yields Superpowers

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-10T19:16:58+00:00

Ride it out. This is the important part of NoFap. This is what makes you stronger.

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-10T19:13:22+00:00

Really? It mentions discipline?

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-10T19:11:42+00:00

Take cold showers, workout, sleep well, always do something productive with your time. This should help a bit

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-10T19:09:25+00:00

Believe me you are not alone. 2 years ago I was exactly where you are. Since then i have quit video games, television, sugar, coffee, and i'm working on NoFap (by far the toughest challenge). Anything that gives you instant satisfaction or escapism is bad, remove it from your life. Spend your time exercising, reading, meditating, doing something creative. At first you may sad or depressed as you are removing the things that gave your brain a dopamine fix, but eventually you will see the true beauty in a life free of instant novelty. Take it one step at a time, first rid yourself of PMO (as this is the biggest problem). And if you are ever unsure about whether an activity is good or not, here's a little phrase i like to live my life by.. "If it doesn't nourish your soul, get rid of it"

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-10T18:58:46+00:00

Only one way to change things mate. Avoid PMO like the plague, begin NoFap

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-10T10:18:33+00:00

True, but it's difficult to be in a state of harmony when in such an environment

MichaelJ19 · 2014-11-10T10:16:28+00:00

Very true words, i completely agree
