Literally just don't open it. Like you have to actually seek it out to view it, so when you find yourself doing so, stop yourself.If you need a step-down program, stop watching hardcore and switch to softcore images, then switch to audio, then erotica, and finally quit that as well.Here's some pseudoscience: Porn gives your brain an unnaturally fast spike in arousal, from 0-100 in a few minutes, provided entirely externally. You want to slow that down and make it come from within, and you do this by making the stimulation come via imagination. Hence, shift to softcore to wean yourself off the heavy stuff, then to material that requires you to imagine to get the full experience (audio and erotica). Finally, use your imagination only.You'll have intrusive thoughts. Porn is unfortunately a virus that burrows itself in your mind. But when you have them, either shut it down or shift it to healthier sexual thoughts.And give it time.

My dick is so hard
>>34527550Do a radical change in your daily routine and environment. You only watch porn because a certain trigger tells you to do so. If you find and eliminate that trigger, you will stop doing it. I have pretty much the same story as you. From time to time I average on about 16 jerks per week. Thats pretty much. But every time I change environments, and thus loos all the triggers that trigger my gooning session, I stop to even think about it. Once I moved for 3 months to a different city. I had no problem to not cum for the whole 3 months. When I moved back, I relapsed in 1 day. But I actually stopped trying, because I didn't see any benefit. Maybe I had a little more time in the day, but thats it. But if you want to stop, change your routine and, if possible, your environment. Most people probably jerk off when they are bored or something. So try to be as active as possible. Make it a habit to go on a walk in the evening. Go to the gym. Create an routine that doesn't offer the time frame for you to nut.
>>34527550Anon, if you are an addictive type or easily understimulated, then there is no other way but to make it difficult and inconvenient to access.I should've never broken my streak.

>>34527764Honestly seeing my balls swell again is enough for me. There's nothing cool about having a drained nutsack that looks like it belongs to an elderly man and women can also tell if you're coomer as well by how saggy and empty your balls look.
>>34527550Get a gf or throw away all your electronics
stop browsing /v/
>>34527550I got clowned by guys in my class when i was 14 because I had zero clue what sex was, they showed me porn images and that's what made me lookup porn for the first time. Gooning frequency reduces when you get busy and physically exhausted at the end of each day. Or try to think of rewarding yourself if you goon just 3x a week then reduce it to 1x a week until you phase it out. don't start out with a commitment like 30 day no fap right out the gate. >t. Went from 14x a week to 3x a week over a period of a year.
>>34528598sometimes I wonder what I could have achieved in life if I had never discovered this addiction at a young age.
Ive been weaning off porn for no reason other than my favorite site is becoming a broken unusable mess lol
>>34528758>Could've, would've, should'veThere is no point in ruminating on the past. You can take action today to better yourself. There are plenty of people who had setbacks who made something of themselves and plenty of people with no problems who do nothing. Simply take it as a lesson, and be glad that you will not have to deal with this when you are older.
I found this channel and his videos helped me a ton in regulating my porn addiction. While it's important to learn how to get off it, you should also know why you got on it in the first place and how it effects you in aspects of your life you aren't aware of.https://youtu.be/QJvHglNMsqc?si=0gqbn_KTKyt7myyhhttps://youtu.be/cojJ6fOwVKk?si=kxLCxWixAKxnjhlLhttps://youtu.be/OH6PQVmnNzI?si=ufEJvzYmIn9rRFbx
>>34527550>How to defeat porn addiction?The problem is not porn, it was never porn to begin with. The problem is that masturbation is the only thing keeping you from killing yourself, and somehow, you want to be rid of this. The real problem is life suffering, not masturbation. If a person hates their life, has no intimacy, no meaning, no hope, and one habit gives temporary relief, they will attach themselves to it and never let it go.
>>34528789It's not the porn itself that's the problem. It's that you see some shit you don't want to see ever in ads and recommended on porn sites. That's the real damaging shit.
>>34528888>doesn't use an ad blockerOn a scale from fuentes to pantone, how brown are you?
>>34528962Does this answer your question
>>34528872This (sort of).The thing about addictions (like fapping) is that it's not done out of hedonism. It is done as an instant mood corrector. You are feeling anxious, depressed, lonely. You fap, you feel better.You never develop healthy coping skills. You never decide "I want a girlfriend, I'd better work out". And just fap your troubles away. You never decide "that school project is stressing me out because the deadline is getting close and I haven't got started", you just fap to feel relaxed. So your entire life becomes dealing with stress by fapping while problems pile up instead of addressing the causes of the stress.
