I have been struggling for years with a porn and masturbation addiction, I want to quit but I dont know how, it's not as simple as "just quit anon". Please any advice is welcomed.(the longest ive gone without it was 2 months)
>>350196152 months is already far more than some other anons just take it slow if you do it many times a day. But considering you have been able to be without it for 2 months. Just find something else to distract you when you get the urge to blast rope.
>>35019615are you quitting both at the same time? I think you can masturbate in a healthy way, just not to porn and within reason.
>>35019639yes, fapping makes me feel like shit even if I do it without porn
Perhaps this is, in itself, some established sign that should beacon your dreams.In economics, there is this term called "Opportunity Cost" in which tendering this habit exchanges everything else that could have been, even your goals and aspiration — as in place of these magnificent intentions, porn cannot.
>>35019712Perhaps it is not this exertion you are mustering to quit porn, but the use of this very same force to exact will on all others in place of this are better.
It's not all that big of a deal, just concentrate on finding other (constructive) habits and socialization opportunities and try to watch less porn every day until your life is better and you pretty much never look for porn
>>35019615I can't remember the exact message from it but there's an old self-help book about quitting addiction, I think it was written for smoking and then re-written for porn but I think the gist of it was that you're not supposed to frame it as quitting something, because that implies you're giving up something valuable that you want. Instead you should focus on what you stand to gain from stopping. There's also a lot of power in habits, I'm willing to bet that many porn addicts don't have a superhuman libido they're trying to sate, rather they just spend a lot of time being bored in front of devices with access to porn.
>>35019615Quitting porn is a very good idea; quitting masturbation is pointless. Find something else to masturbate to; don't do it unless you're actually horny (as opposed to just bored) and don't goon: come as quickly as you reasonably can. Think of it simply as a form of physical relief, like peeing; do it when you need to, then get on with your life.
>>35019615find a high sexdrive/highly skilled gf. some women WILL manage to keep your balls empty.I miss you Sophie.
>>35019615Easy-peasy method helped me.Also thinking why and where you fap is a good step in stopping. Is it boredom, anxiety, do you use phone in bed and so on.
>>35019615U need 2 get the sex
>>35019818This is good advice. You need to know the reason for it to be able to manage consumption.Personally I've tried quitting and managing usage for years. Now I'm kind of satisfied. Only once or twice, maybe three to four times a day if I'm a bit bored.
>>35019674You can read some books or go to the gym or take a cold shower and make a hobby to distract from porn and masturbation >masturbation addiction worst than a cocaine
>>35019615You are not addicted; you just need good sex. Masturbation and porn are bad, but until you are getting sex, you have to work with your fucking hands we all are in some boats afterall im also addicted to porn and masturbation >coming to this shit site 4chan to watch bitch asses of bitch
>>35019818Easypeasy is boiled down to "You have no reason to use it, so why do you?" Maybe I misunderstood it, but that, and the assumption that you even really need a reason is why it's never worked for me. I'm not trying to make myself sound better or above you or ezpz, I'm stuck with the same issue as OP, and if you could help me out with it too, I'd honestly really appreciate that.Also, isn't asking for help for a porn addiction on specifically 4chan a little strange? Not that I'm much better, but still.
