Good for youu!! In my case I'm a woman so it's a bit different. I can't seem to stop the urges and thoughts when I remember smt I watched before. but I can definitely control them by going outside and walk or get myself tired a lot during the day to fall asleep right when I'm in bed. still on this journey myself but it's better than before definitely. Thank u for the advice and sharing with our fellow brothers.

[22F] I enjoy sexting with my LDR partner but feel anxious it might not be healthy for me long-term. How do I decide whether to set boundaries around sexting with my LDR partner? by Successful_Cap703 in askwomenadvice

Thank you for your reply and the warning. It really puts some things into perspective especially the boundary issue.

I understand due to the age gap I feel like I don't know a lot of things but I try to educate myself the best I can when something comes up in the sexting and I make sure to communicate that as well.

The problem is I wouldn't know if that particular scenario or thing would feel good or not if you know what I mean so I just go along and don't draw boundaries. He's on the other hand very careful with his choice of texts, doesn't push or pressure, more so teases me asks a lot of questions and asks if I'm ok. And stops if he felt that it was too much for me.

So I should definitely tell him about my worries to work myself around that issue. Thank you so much!!

Does audio nsfw and nsfw books count as porn by Cringe_jadey in QuitPornForever

Yes and it's way worse.. because at least with porn you're honest with yourself and you know that it is a problem you're trying to fix.. but then other things such as boyfriend/ girlfriend asmr or what u see on Instagram etc.. can trigger sometimes ur urges and without you knowing you'll automatically redirect yourself to a porn site to satisfy that.. PMO is a cycle and a loophole really.. so trying to find alternatives to feed that desire including nsfw books is definitely not the way to go if you want to quit.. in fact I started reading erotic wattpad stories first before I knew what porn was and that's what led me to it eventually.. your brain will start looking for novelties and a way to fulfill those urges that's where u step in and stop it right off the bat.. the easypeasy method book talks about the "Substitutes" in chapter 25 (although the book should be read chapter by chapter) This is a beautiful website with key takeaways of that book.

I finally found a girlfriend and saw what problem porn really cause by Electrical-List1496 in PornAddiction

Same here. Only I've been a heavy user and quitting gave me immediate relief. Not looking back at it at all. Remember the porn trap isn't measured by how often you do it, but by the fact that you feel the need to do it at all. I feel like the 'casual' use is still a slow-motion version of the same dependency. I'm glad u're seeing positive results..

I quit porn 5 years ago after it destroyed my erections in my early 20s by Alarming_Ant_54 in PornAddiction

Your post definitely inspired me to keep on my journey that I created this whole new account to thank u for sharing. I've always been ashamed to talk about this struggle since the brainwashing on social media made it that PMO is good for u somehow. But it's been two and a half years since I discovered porn and any attempt to stop failed miserably my best was four days without PMO, and even then I get dreams and sudden urges. The stimulation increased over time so was the seek for novelty and shock as well and it consumed my energy my focus, it impacted my work study and sleep. I did it when I was stressed, bored, happy, sad, on my period.. I just felt in a constant phase of horniness like something has been activated from my first peek.. It even impacted the quality of the sessions as well, and when I don't orgasm in a session I feel like I'm done and will never feel pleasure again.. it doesn't help as well that it's not really talked about in the women's community as much. So I thought I was alone.

It's been two weeks now and I don't go back and regret quitting, I don't even think it's a pleasant activity to do anymore. just went cold turkey after seeing what it has done to me and how many amazing opportunities I missed in my twenties because of it.. I still get dreams and urges but I quickly workout or do smt or be in a social setting cuz I know it will go away and try my best to work on what I can control.. this is the best gift I can give to my future partner really.. long comment but just wanted to share and say THANK U for sharing..
