Hello, I have decided to combat my consistently degenerate mind that’s been fucked up due to frequent pornography consumption.It’s been a week or two now and I’m still going strong, but yesterday I found myself with weird withdrawals and having much more horny thoughts than I’ve had since starting this thing, my embarrassing kinks and all. Is this normal? And what ways can I tackle these urges?
>>34482312Instead of trying to go from full-addiction to zero you should try slowly lowering the amount of content you consume.For example, this week allow yourself to fap for a maximum of 4 times. The week after 3 times and so on. With enough discipline your brain will slowly heal the addiction.
>>34482366I see what you’re saying, but I’m worried it’s a slippery slope. Porn (combined with my OCD) has really messed up how I view certain races, body types, dynamics etc. If I were to follow this, do you suggest watching the most basic types of pornography rather than the fetishy/hardcore stuff I had jumped to that really messed me up?
>>34482371Yeah, I would avoid hardcore. "Normal" content will surely help your brain lose those sexual thoughts over time.It may also help to manage the urges themselves. Don't give them space! Stay busy, find hobbies, go out with friends or anything else.If you feel your OCD has a negative impact maybe a full clean break is better than a gradual approach though.I personally would try first one of the two methods and if you fall again in the pit then go with the other one. You'll see that with enough discipline you'll succeed :D
