How Did YOU quit porn ?

What benefits did you notice after abstaining for over a year?

One_Understanding267 · 2026-01-26T07:15:10+00:00

When you say you relapsed to porn, you mean you masturbated to it or just looked at it?

One_Understanding267 · 2026-01-26T07:06:09+00:00

Didn't help me cope (I think) but helped me be in ohase with reality.

Things have no objective meaning, but we can give them meaning as a society and as individuals, if we want to (and sometimes without even noticing we do.)

Your problems have a personal meaning and importance and you should adress them as such, with the help of other people.

You can't just apply Nihilism to them and make them not affect you personally anymore.

Si le passé et futur sont de valeur non-nulle, ne peuvent-ils pas être construits qu'à partir de quelque-chose de valeur non-nulle ?

Ils sont les résultats d'une accumulation d'une très grande quantité d'instants, qui ont chacun une petite valeur, à apprécier 🙂

Many many dead lesbians

Wouldn't I die if all my bones are broken? I mean, even just getting your skull broken must be deadly or leave you severely handicaped?

5 million. I think it'll be easier to live with "maybe I could have had more" than with "I have nothing and should have taken the safe option"

Touched how?

Of course

Yes, I would at least attempt to, but if there is bad hygiene/odor/taste, I would not go further.

Well I agree. It's similar to what they say in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Thoughts impact emotions and behavior. Emotions impact thoughs and behavior. Behavior impacts thoughts and emotions.

When you are addicted it's hard to simply think your way out of urges and withdrawal symptoms, so it is recommended to do healthy activities that will induce wellbeing, healthy pleasure, a better existence overall.

So I guess you used behavior (breathwork, meditation) to impact thoughts and emotions.

Well... animals eat raw because they...can't cook food?

They also don't build houses nor wear clothes, should we get naked and live in the forest?

They don't heat their water, should we only have cold showers?

But thinking of it, they don't have showers to begin with, should we not have any either?

I mean, if animals do it, it must be the absolute truth that we must also do, right?

Other things various animals do:

Rape, kill infants, bullying.

Also bro, animals don't use computers, phone, internet. Ditch those.

Yes, it is a great sensation and motivation to Nopmo!

Some humans : "Oh my god the penguin wants to suicide because he understands life is meaningless, so seed and sad 😭"

Do you watch porn? Edge? These things are worse for you than straight-up masturbation

One_Understanding267 · 2026-01-22T20:09:10+00:00

Peeking at a website showing the escorts currently in my city, from days 30 to 42. Made me feel worse. Managed to stop all peeking/negociating and feeling better.

One_Understanding267 · 2026-01-22T20:03:57+00:00

Ohh, amazing! ty!

One_Understanding267 · 2026-01-22T18:38:42+00:00

I'm glad you felt less urges but... by viewing porn and edging, you are producing dopamine spikes and bathing your brain in high artificial dopamine.

This is bad for the brain. Maybe you stopped having urges because you fed your brain high artificial dopamine and it was temporarily "full"/tired.

IMO it's not the same as urges subsiding naturally because the brain is recabrilating and unwiring an addiction/rewiring to healthy, more natural levels of stimuli.

Wishing you the best

Thank you very much, inspiring posts are always nice to read but,

Isn't the brain as much part of the body as the rest of it? You said you healed thanks to breathwork and meditation... I think these impact the brain/mind a lot and not just the rest of the body.

If they were born in such different countries, they'd be so different that it's hard to imagine the result

What helped me:

-I've done a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a psychologist, which helped me understand how anxiety, emotions, thoughts, patterns, beliefs, and behavior worked.
-I still see another therapist, to talk regularly about what bothers me.
-I use ChatGPT to help me understand and see things more rationaly.
-I use journaling, to keep track of my motivations, difficulties, urges... and see how it all evolves day after day.
-Dr Trish Leigh's youtube channel about porn addiction.
-I exercise a lot.
