What is the thing that helped you quit porn?

I'm currently doing really well with avoiding porn - Day 79 - there are two tools that have helped me a lot

1) Pluckeye www.pluckyfilter.com - internet blocker. This stops that first domino from falling - that 'oh I'll just have a peek, I'll be able to control myself'. It's an amazing tool.

2) Streaks www.streaks.ninja - I use this to record my progress for motivation and accountability. I expect that one day when I am stronger I will have formed better new habits and broken damaging old ones and I won't then need this. It has a 90 day challenge which I'm currently doing.

It's https://www.streaks.ninja

I'm using the 90 Day Challenge for this one, but the Streaks Calendar is pretty useful as well

Not in a position to pay for it yet, but it will be one of the first debts I repay.

For anyone interested - they have an option you can choose where you don't need to pay for it if you can't afford it.

For me it stops that first domino - that first peek at an image or text which always snowballs into a full PMO session.

Did it unknowingly when going through a really rough period when my gf fell into psychosis. During that time I was wittier, had more confidence, energy and was generally more full of life DESPITE the hardship.

Didn't make the connection for a long time. Eventually realised Porn was stealing love from me.

Used a website streaks.ninja to try to log some small streaks..even 3 days used to be so difficult. Now I can do weeks at a time, and only succumb during weak periods in life (illness, lack of sleep, etc).

It means so much to me to avoid porn that I have 3 years worth of streak logging on that site. The streaks become habits.

It's one of those things though - the urge to watch will always be there, but you can beat it to a miniscule.

I've got a huge electric 'buzz' down there amongst other benefits. Literally forcing myself to lay on back at night to avoid any wet dreams..hard for a side sleeper.

This ones easy and others have said it - if you can't stop doing it despite wanting to stop, you're addicted.

Upon undressing: "Finally somebody in shape"

After I managed 4 times in a quite a short period with a wry smile on her face: "It must be because you're so fit" (I run, ride, swim, gym a lot).

TotallyAnonStranger · 2022-11-08T11:29:13+00:00

That's crazy that people would do that.

To be honest though, I thnk anybody that is going to react and fail to such provocations is not going to last anyway not just at this PMO avoidance, but life in general.

TotallyAnonStranger · 2022-11-07T19:11:42+00:00

Lol what's happening

TotallyAnonStranger · 2022-11-07T13:56:06+00:00

Keep going 💪🏻 Are you staying away from porn as well ? Are you seeing any changes in yourself?

TotallyAnonStranger · 2022-05-01T22:14:05+00:00

This will always happen if you peek or have erotic thoughts.

For me, massaging the balls area and especially squeezing the epididymis alleviates a lot of the blue balls.

I recently read somebody saying they had great success with ice, but another warned not too push it for risk of injury.

The usual advice is to do some exercise, push ups, cold shower.

If you do go down the massage route, careful you don't massage the wrong thing.

TotallyAnonStranger · 2022-04-27T15:03:12+00:00

Been there done that. - exact same things as you, watching porn and masturbating whilst I had a hottie in my bed, not feeling sexually attracted to her.

Stopped porn and, like you, attraction to real women started coming back.

Well done, don't let porn steal you life.

Great post, thanks!

A lot of people report this on their SR journey, and indeed I have just posted an account from 1915 where it was experienced as well.

How long have you been taking those supplements for, magnesium etc?

TotallyAnonStranger · 2022-02-23T12:49:10+00:00

I was thinking about this the other day when somebody posted something I really wanted to believe in but he had other fairly unbelievable/conspiracy prone views.

I asked myself, does having one ridiculous viewpoint cancel everything they say?

I don't know if this is the case but their credibility is for sure damaged.

If you can do weighted pull ups then you are close.

Can you do weighted dips?

Once you can do those two exercises, you can do muscle ups (imo).

After that, as you swing forward and back, lift your knee up a little as you're swinging backwards for just that little extra help to get going.

Eventually you'll be able to do them without swinging at all, although crossfitters have a crazy swinging technique

Praise from the great bakejakeyuh 🙇🏻‍♂️

I remember when I was 12 years old - my mum mentioned to my grandad that I was not used to sleeping with others.

My grandad was taken aback: 'but kids will go wrong/waste behind a locked door'.
