has anyone here actually conquered a porn addiction? how did you beat the fomo?
>>84374944I watch porn but im also hung at 8 inches and have balls that are twice the average size and grow to 4x or 5x the average size if I dont jerk off for even 1 day
>>84374966do you think you could stop if you didnt have that issue?
>>84374944I did, i beat it by getting a gf, then she left me and after that porn just wasnt the same so i stopped
Why is it not "addiction" when foids have sex everyday, but it IS "addiction" when I simulate doing the same thing?
With religion, now I can't enjoy it.
>>84375168Because sex is productive and fapping is not? Fuckwad.
>>84375286Jerking off wakes you up it can replace a mid day nap that would take 3 hours and leave you groggy
>>84374944It's like most addictions. If you just cut yourself off, you will inevitably stop caring. I've briefly relapsed a couple times, but for the most part, I've barely watched porn for the past 10 years. And this is after spending my teenage years gooning every second that there was. Like literally sitting with my dick in my hand for hours and cooming 6-8 times a day if I had the time. All my free time was spent watching porn and playing vidya. Nowadays I literally just do not watch porn and have no desire to 99% of the time.
>>84375004i wish i could do this tech>>84375168whether you personally believe you have an addiction or not isnt my concern, i just want to hear from people who actually felt it was bad enough that they needed to stop>>84375268im not against porn in general, but the way i consume it is negatively affecting my life and i need to tame it
>>84375298Do you have narcolepsy? No one under the age of 60 should need a mid-day nap, unless you're doing back-breaking labor from the break of dawn.
>>84375302ive tried this in the past but cold turkey unfortunately makes things worse for me. the fomo controls me and brings me back harder than before
>>84375286Women having sex daily while on birth control isn't any more productive than me jerking off.
>>84375317No I have trouble sleeping at night and I have extremely cognitively demanding hobbies
>>84375317Try memorizing pages of random numbers and shit like that for work it gets really cognitively demanding
>>84375317Well now I cant delete any more shitty posts now, I dont why I keep responding
>>84375324Yes it is, sex with someone else is a social bonding activity, which increases both participants' mental health. The only time it would be worse than jerking off would be if you were a slut and catching diseases from random scumbags.>>84375325I would say that figuring out how to correct your sleep issues would be orders of magnitude more productive than whacking your dingaling to jew-produced smut.>>84375342If you get enough sleep, you won't need a nap for a 9-5, even if it is cognitively demanding.
>>84375317You started off to say that having balls twice the size of average is an issue, and I would not cut my fucking balls off because of the bad evil japanese cartoons they spam on this board
>>84375366>I would say that figuring out how to correct your sleep issues would be orders of magnitude more productive than whacking your dingaling to jew-produced smut.Okay so if your hand offends you cut it off, okay you go cut your hand off and live in fantasy world and be sure to freeze some of your sperm before you do, be glad you werent blessed with tiny balls and poor self discipline so you that you dont at the bad cartoons
>>84375374>>84375389I'm not that anon and no idea why you would think I was, meds time buddy.
I lowkenuinely have watched all the good porn from my preferred subgenre (amateur solo female) and even going onto other sites I stumble across the same select good videos that fit my requirements for a coom, she has to coom and it has to be a decent one and real (I can spot the fakery but with amateur its mostly genuine) so ig its boredom? im on day 11 of not spanking it and before it was 1-2x a week.I also recently cut out any processed sauces and added honey as well as spices from my mostly wholefood diet so that may have contributed towards it but I just dont feel a desire. Its like audio porn too, I like the ramblefap audio jois but alas all the decent ones I've listened to over the years and despite the internet being full of so much porn, my genre doesn't seem to get anything decent or new. Like on gif the same webms are circulated, on the sites its the same vids pretty much to where the coom time extends into 40 minutes which is ridiculous so I have to stop it really, trying to find new shit to satisfy me takes too long and theres nothing elseso watch ALL the porn, no fomo anymore. Unless youre some NPC that can get off to anything then youre fucked as theres too much but that would be your own fault for not curating a select taste.
>>84375419to be honest my problem is that im mainly addicted to one specific person, and i have a massive collection of their content. the fomo is constantly telling me theres more content to download, and it has caused me anxiety for years. without getting into detail, i basically cant run out of content.
>>84375286>Sex is productive >Natality in taters Could you kindly commit suicide after posting your tits with timestamp?
>>84375482Sex is productive even without pregnancy, but obviously it's more productive with it. In either case, it's better than fapping.>posting your titsYou wanna see my hairy mantits, faggotron?
>>84375553It is not. You claim that it bonds but interpersonal relationships are also at a historical lowest.Stop making excuses for your fellow whores, post tits and gtfo.>bu-bu-but I'm a manThen why are you here defending whores while crying about porn like any woman would do?
>>84375583>It is not. You claim that it bonds but interpersonal relationships are also at a historical lowest.Hmm... Well anon, do you think zoomers' sexlessness might have something to do with that?>Stop making excuses for your fellow whores, post tits and gtfo.Never made one excuse for any whore.>>bu-bu-but I'm a man>Then why are you here defending whores while crying about porn like any woman would do?No one defended whores. In fact I actually said being a whore was le bad and worse than fapping, if you go back and read. The only one crying and throwing a little tantrum here is you because your precious pornography addiction has been criticized.
>>843757081st The idea that pornography addiction exists besides extreme cases is a joke. A fantasy promoted by fundies and radical feminists2nd Pretending that watching porn is minimally comparable to whoring out is just a way to defending the later by false equivalence 3rd Read The American Sex Revolution by Pitirim even in the 50s people knew this hit would end badly, that sex would cause the social atomization that we're suffering
>>84375763>1st The idea that pornography addiction exists besides extreme cases is a joke. A fantasy promoted by fundies and radical feministsI can tell you're an addict just after reading a few short posts.>2nd Pretending that watching porn is minimally comparable to whoring out is just a way to defending the later by false equivalenceIt's possible to say that one thing is bad and another thing is also bad, anon. Which is what I did.>3rd Read The American Sex Revolution by Pitirim even in the 50s people knew this hit would end badly, that sex would cause the social atomization that we're sufferingSo you think people just started having sex in the 50s? Makes no sense.
>>84375837Feign mental retardation is not an argument and will never be
>>84375862Okay bud. Well anyway, gooning is bad and being a whore is also bad. You can stay mad if you like, won't change those facts.
>>84375914Drinking coffee and scamming are both bad.See how stupid this argument is?
>>84375168Sex typically lasts like 10 minutes, guys turn fapping into a multi hour endeavor. Sex is about maintaining an already present relationship, fapping becomes a hobby of seeking out new material, and lessens the motivation of getting a girl. I'm not even saying you shouldn't do it to some extent, but it absolutely isn't the same thing.Besides OP, fomo? Missing out on what, new porn drops? What you should have is fomo on developing a relationship while you're still young and it makes sense / you have options. I'm too old now, there are only single mothers, fatties, or women who aren't even fertile.You want the secret to conquering your libido? Outlast it. It won't be there forever. Use it while you can to fuel aspirations of finding a woman, because once it's gone, you won't want to touch women and their problems with a ten foot pole.Hopefully by then you have a wife you've screened and can tolerate or children to focus attention and time on.
>>84376060Are you fucking 70?
>>84375454That desire is normally attached to something called a wife. I say this without derision or malice: you have an attachment disorder.If you're paying money for this you're basically a cuckold, financing her life so she can whore herself out to hundreds of men and fuck others as well (not you).Get some damn self respect. >oh nooo i won't see the titties!>>84375583Sex is productive and it does bond. However. Does it not make sense that sex with many people ruins the bonding mechanism? If you're pulled in several different directions you end up going nowhere. That's not an indictment on sex it's an indictment upon promiscuity.
>>84376111Come on anon, think. At what age do women lose fertility? Yeah there are guys who date much younger women but I have neither the time, the game, the fame, nor the energy for that. No woman in her twenties wants a chill relationship with a man twice her age, they want at best sugar daddies.
>>84376060im not really in a position to be in a relationship atm, and in the meantime ive fucked up my brain wiring and this one girl turns me on ten times as much as any other. im just looking to undo that for the time being.>>84376114to be even more honest, its not even a pornstar or of model that im obsessed with, so im not even seeing any naked body parts. not sure if that makes it better or worse. but no i am not paying for it.
>>84376193Lack of payment makes it better, but you're in a rough spot. I kept nudes and stuff of one ex of mine for years. And granted there was an additional layer of emotional attachment there, it ended up being a very bad thing for me and took a while to get over it even after the emotional aspect was settled. Just trust me here, it's doing you no favors. You can try to stop cold turkey, and you will often fail, but the more you attempt the more successful you will be. One thing you can do, which you will not want to do, is to delete everything. There will likely come a time you will regret it, but that passes in time and you will be unshackled for the most part after. And I do mean secure delete a la bleachbit or something so you can't recover it.
>>84376250i actually did delete everything a few years ago, and it made me so anxious that i just redownloaded everything. i realize how pathetic this and i may be beyond saving. i appreciate the attempt to help tho
>>84376280Im glad youre comfortable anon if you were well endowed it wouldnt be an issue
>>84374944most men aren't addicted to porn you're probably just horny
I did when I was super busy I guess. If I was able to stay super busy with actual payoff I would leave it forever.
>>84374944Getting a gf is the only way to beat it really. Because when she's around you wont be able to fap
>>84376339i lowkey cant figure out what youre saying here>>84376346its not really porn itself that im addicted to, but its functionally very similar. some of my previous replies will explain a bit more
>>84376392>i lowkey cant figure out what youre saying hereWeII what does it matter
>>84376412i believe most people say things with the intention of it being understood
>>84374944Im on SSRIs. The rest is me entering a zen like state because getting women is the same chance as me becoming president
>>84374944Just apply presence and really ask yourself is this doing anything postive for me or am i just falling for a illusion
>>84376827this reasoning is what keeps me addicted lowkey, i cant get a girl so quitting porn will just leave me undatisfied>>84376868unfortunately the illusion makes me cum really hard
>>84376392>its not really porn itself that im addicted to, but its functionally very similarafter reading...yeah you're just horny anon i think that's fine if you can't have sex you probably jerk it like everyone else
>>84374944I haven't conquered it exactly, I've just gotten old enough that jerking off has turned into a chore. So I do it much less and can easily go days without thinking about it. Would do it less if I wasn't addicted to browsing the internet where is one click away.
>>84376895i dont intend to stop jerking off, i just wanna stop being a content hoarder and let go of my obsession essentially
