The first 3 days are the hardest, but get past that and you can quit. Porn rewires your brain to make you a horny mess.>inb4 it's not and i'm successfulok cool leave this thread then, but don't lie to yourself.For those quitting porn, fighting with cutting back or addiction, I wanted to tell you, from someone else also quitting and battling this addiction quite successfully- the first 3 days are the hardest.I find that if I can avoid jacking off or looking at porn or even arousing fantasies, after 3 days, it's not even a battle any more, it's a walk in the park- and it gets easier.You might think you need it because you're a horny guy and you have no gf, but the thing I have realised is that it's the porn making you like that.You're not using porn because you're single, you're single because porn use prevents you from doing what you need to do to get a gf, from learning how people work, how to talk to women, from creating an environment a girl would want to be in with you, from occupying your time with actually useful activities and building a life you can be proud of.With that, I will be leaving this hellsite to go and do some work now, keep the thread bumped up if you find any of this helpful, to help other lost anons as well.
the damage done by porn is reversible
apply this mindset to porn.
I have a gf and I also love porn :)
>>30513252>I will be leaving this hellsiteExactly what it is. This place is absolutely diabolical. Demons are here, and not metaphorically. Actual real demons operate here. Leave and cleanse yourselves.
>>30513278> POOR> STRESS> GOON> POOR> STRESS> Stop gooning> WORK, WORK, WORK> COLLECT MONEY> WORK> COLLECT MONEY> PAY OFF DEBT> BUY PORN> GOON> LOSE JOB> GO INTO DEBT> DIE HOMELESS IN LAOSWhich way anon?
>>30513510the concept of demons possessing or haunting you and actively working to cause your suffering and downfall, which you should be fighting back against, and a greater power that sees all you do, to whom you will be held you accountable, are really great concepts to help conquer addiction, self destructive habits and degenerate behavior.you i often ask myself; am i becoming a man i could be proud of?

>>30513252Yeah what you say is definitely true for a lot of us, although I think probably more than half of people who use porn and masturbation can still live fulfilling or successful lives (whether theyre still corrupted/damaged is debatable), for others it's more of an issue, whether that's cause we're more sensitive or predisposed to lose ourselves, more disconnected from objective reality, more introverted, idk, but a big step is to not compare yourself to those who can somehow cope with things you cant cope with.I agree the first 3-5 days are hardest, as in the most difficult to cope with psychologically/emotionally, but as (presumably) you and I know, the days after that are hard in a different way - and that is when you start feeling good about yourself, you start to become more carefree, your vitality and libido increases a little, you start to feel a connection with girls irl, your appearance and in your face becomes more open and attractive, etc etc.. At that point it's like: ahh im chllin, im pretty happy, so when something on my screen or in my mind turns me on in that moment, whatever maybe i'll masturbate and maybe even look at some porn, I guess i probably shouldn't but think i'll just ride the wave of how i feel... hey that first time back i didn't even feel guilty for that, it just felt good, i think i'll do it again later/tomorrow, and again after that, and before you realise youre back drinking the poison again glug glugSo im kind of stuck in that phase personally, I can get through the darkness of the first few days because I know the lightness and life on the other side, but staying there enough is difficult.
>>30513510>Actual real demons operate hereand the thing so many anons refuse to understand is that /pol/ is God's war room.it's why most people will never understand the harsh truths that are posted there.we are the Holy justiciars that exist on this plane.the evil ones fear us.sincerely,war
>>30513794>I think probably more than half of people who use porn and masturbation can still live fulfilling or successful livesyour definition of fulfilling and successful is not the same definition that God uses.never forget that.
>>30513252i love drugs
>>30513258>the damage done by porn is reversiblethank god, I'll quit later
>>30513888Thank you anon, yeah I think I intuitively feel that they're not so fulfilled or realised, which is why I suggest they may still be corrupted underneath despite ostensibly living successful happy lives. Not that I believe in God at this point in my life desu, but I'm agnostic (raised catholic) and I still believe a lot of the teachings have truth within them with guidance mostly worth following, and we should aim to transcend materialism, envy, hedonism etc.
>>30513888God isn't real.Religion is a mental illness.
>>30513252Yeah, yeah. I'll quit one day.I just need to get through the day and everything will get better later.
>>30514026I'm somehow too ployed and miserable to quit my self destructive behaviors.One day I'll be able to fix myself.One day I'll be happy and not just tired.
>>30514041employed*
>>30513252nice words... Please explain to us why you have to fight for this problem?becouse whom is harmed by someone having fun by themself?assuming the the production is legal is no one's business to shame the customer.Else we have to realy create the funpolice for so many things.
you need to be a top performer so that jews could bomb gaza, lebanon and iran, anon. stay sharp
>>30513991What about gods from other planets?
>>30513991religion is real, your foundation of what it actually has been corrupted, hence the lense you are viewing it as is from a cracked foundation
>>30514782NTA, religion are mental prison. But good news you are the prison, the lock and the key.
>>30514782"Lens", not "lense" you fucking moron. Learn English.All religion is mental illness.
>>30513252Counterpoint - studies have shown that ejaculating 21 times a month reduces your risk of prostate cancer by 30%.
>>30513991>mental illness of atheists at all time highok
>>30514227>becouse whom is harmed by someone having fun by themself?nice spelling. the answer is: the person themselves. see above videos.
>>30515189that is how often you should be having sex with your wife.
>>30515042did you let yourself out? how is it out there? you didn't take any of those oppressive religious morals or ethics with you, did you?
>>30513952so after quitting porn for a while i find most of it, including that video, disgusting, and seeing the utter ruination of women that this lifestyle causes, stuff like that doesn't arouse me any more, i don't find it attractive, i lament that another good woman has been put through the meat grinder and defiled, never to be loved and never to be a good mother, and for what? one quick thrill and a paycheque that didn't even cover rent for one week?
>>30515189This thread is about porn not about ejaculating, and just in case you didn't know, you can masterbate without looking at porn.Also, are there any studies on ejaculating 70 times a month? This should reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 100%, if my calculation is correct.
>>30513258This is an important topic, but I'd honestly be far more worried about the damage an MRI could do to the brain than a daily goon session.
>>30515406MRIs have no impact on the brain. Its a well understood diagnostic. The fuck you on?
>>30513991You are right. I honestly can’t wrap my head around the fact that nowadays still believe in god. It’s so obvious, because you have to choose to believe. Not learn, acknowledge, understand, discern, comprehend, see or experience. Believe!!! Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!But He loves you XDThe greatest bullish story ever told: Holy Shit
I find the first 3 days easy, it’s keeping it going thats difficult. I just relapsed after 22 days today. Most I’ve gone in 20 years is 2 months. If anyone was as bad as me and has any advice I greatly appreciate it,
>>30515218>mental illness of atheists at all time highShow your work; citation needed.You believe in invisible forces that talk to you; that's the definition of mental illness, and proof.
>>30513252>porn is a drug, corrupting your mind, blocking your happiness and ruining your whole life.Impressive that everything in that sentence is wrong. Porn litterally objectively definitionally isn't a drug and it's retarded to say that it is a drug. Also drugs aren't bad things. They save millions of lives every year, if not every day. Porn can not "corrupt" more than life already has. Porn has added significantly to my happiness and in no way blocks other forms of happiness that are unrelated to porn. My tea I am sipping now is just as tasty. I feel just a much feeling of accomplishment when I complete a task. I feel just as much joy in my heart when I help a person in need. The only impact porn has is it makes my alone time/masturbation far more stimulating and enjoyable. And lastly porn has ruined no aspect of my life. I am a fully productive member of society, maintain hobbies, have regular interactions with family and friends, and overall my life is pretty dang good. Your fear and shame tactics to control strangers sexuality honestly disgust me.
>>30515689>Your fear and shame tactics to control strangers sexuality honestly disgust me.Christcucks fear their own urges (and are ashamed of their entire existence), and try to force that fear and shame on others.Their dumb asses can't understand that their self-imposed "morality" is of no interest or use to rational humans, but they're too pussy to lead an actual crusade.
>>30515645that better than a lot of people, but anyway i guess here is not the place to ask that question.. but as youve been trying for a long time I suggest u try something different, to counter whatever might be causing u to relapse. Try doing some strength training for endorphins (or cardio if u prefer, but strength training feels more like busting), try doing somethings where u meet more girls, try therapy if u feel emptiness without porn, try learning something new that really interests u and excites u. Just some ideas, your streak is better than mine tho so I'm not saying to u from authority glAlso tfw the shape is on first slide of the captcha for all 3 is kino
>>30515717Thanks for the tips, I have a girlfriend so that helps, and I exercise 3 times a week, I think I may have to try therapy. And dont worry your streak will be better than mine eventually. It took me a long time to get to the point where I could go more than a week even.
Might be worth hanging out in this thread.
What if im too young to get married can't get a gf due to the beliefs in my countryI got addicted 5 years ago and can't stop and i can't even legally watch porn yetHow do i cope with it im tired of this shit for real
>>30513252even in my 30s, if I don't coom for a day, I relapse the next day by fapping three times back to back. I would lose my mind if I did no fap for 4days. Basically I can come after every meal. I eat once a day sometimes to manage this. My body processes calories and then it must come. I don't know what to d about it.
After looking at one or two other threads on this board, I'm starting to wonder if my predilection for smut began with watching movies as a kid. Heaps of old movies had nudity and sex in them, and I remember as a kid being titillated every time I saw it, and subsequently wanting to see more. The internet was certainly worse for a variety of reasons, but I just wonder if the seed was planted before I even saw online porn.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfwJeHtrWNI
>>30515222>the person themselves is harmedThis can be used to justify so many things.The science to justify this is... dubious and full of moralizing.are we shure you are not just mad about people having fun without you or your worldview in mind?
>>30515734Thankyou, yes it's like a learning process, when I feel I'm making progress it feels good, even if it's not quantitative yet. If you wanna try a kind of less traditional/clinical therapy I really like IFS, which kind of differs from the idea of fixing your behaviours, instead teaches to unburden your inner 'parts' which lessens the need for the behaviour as a coping mechanism and helps with self acceptance. I only suggest that because I've tried other therapies that made things worse, and also it might help to avoid trying harder to abstain as u have been trying to fix the behaviour already :)
>>30515754u don't need to have sex to give up flapping or porn like you'll have wet dreams if your body rly needs the release. sorry that it started young for u but it's the same for a lot of people in this era, good luck tho u got this, the fact u know it's a problem for you means u have taken a step already, i didn't until i was an adult >>30515778maybe ur full tummy puts pressure on your prostate or something idk lol, i guess you gotta be willing to try lose your mind a lil bit to progress
>>30513991Atheism is a religion. You hold a firm set of beliefs that you live your life by, with 0 proof those beliefs are true. You hold them based purely on faith, faith that God doesn't exist. Atheism is a religion.
I think I developed a trigger, associating smoking (relaxing, good) with gooning. I smoke hand-rolled cigs (I detest industrial shit like marlboros). I start a vid, take some puffs, get hard, then put it down (then I light it up again later to repeat), but I don't cum. But I feel guilt and sadness watching gorgeous girls bc no gf. I think I'll have to stop smoking.
>>30515230Thanks to /x/ I've reach enlightenment. In heaven you only works in love for love. >>30515247Do you know why Satanist are into immoral sex? Because there is nothing interesting in heaven beside infinite love. On earth you have many many pleasure and at the end you are alowed to reincarnate. By the way there is no eternal hell, before entering heaven you are purified and all of your sins are cleansed, it's that cleansing that is called : eternal hell, but it's a simply garbage collector function for your sins not for your soul.
>>30513265>porn empire guy telling others to not look at porn
>>30513252There's nothing wrong with being a horny mess. Some people have a high libido and finding release in masturbating calms them down. In cases such as those, they were already a horny mess and porn is a salvation.Porn addiction is not real. The underlying cause of what looks like porn addiction is always something else manifesting as an attachment to pornography. In those cases, quitting porn does not solve the problem, it simply shifts the problem to somewhere else. Or people relapse and feel unnecessary shame when porn is not the cause but one of many symptoms.Human beings are one of the only species on this planet that can masturbate and does so simply for recreational pleasure. Most animals only engage in sexuality activity strictly for breeding purposes, but mankind creates their own solo sexual activity simply because it's enjoyable and relaxing. That makes us better than the animals.Take your pants off, rub one out, and shut the fuck up.
>>30513252society has abandoned me and now youre telling me to let go of the only thing keeping me attached to society?
>>30516459I know the man watch homosexual porn then tell us not to watch it, ah! Perfect puppet for central masonry.
>>30513252OP is probably a troll post, but just for the record it is entirely possible to not be addicted to porn while also not swearing off of it entirely. For most men, it is an occasional thing that is not damaging or destructive to our lives in the slightest. You are projecting. Well, it's a combination of projection and sour grapes.tl;dr just because you can't handle porn without turning into a horny mess doesn't mean everyone else is as weak-willed as you are
>>30513252>>inb4 it's not and i'm successful>ok cool leave this thread then, but don't lie to yourself.Lie about what?>leave the thread if facts contradict my narrativeI used to avoid porn completely, nothing changed. Even when i got into more heavier usage i took a few weeks break, nothing changed. Porn lets everyone have a free and easily accessible outlet and intensifies the sexual experience. Getting rid of that would be of no benefit.
>>30516940but I must save people from the generational boogeymen that my parents told me were definitely real :(
>>30513252The reality is that women ruin a man's life, not porn.
>>30513252For me the struggle begins after 3 days. I get horny pretty easily and really have the urge to get off.
>>30513252Lmao at you being addicted to porn.
Some men have a porn problem because they hate women and because they hate their mother.
>>30516989Weak men put women on a pedestal and make women their god and get ruined for it. Adam's sin was listening and following Eve when she was wrong.Satan is the modern women's daddy.
>>30517014Do not despair, do not make it a big deal if you fail, just try again and again.
>>30515778How do you have time to beat off three times a day? Just go for a walk outside if you feel the urge.
>>30513252I want to quit this habit, it is really affecting all areas of my life, I have a really bad habit of saving pics and gifs of beautiful womens, this eats up a lot of my time and often leads to me jerking off. I want to quit, but I can't. My mind is like why do hard stuff when this feels so good
>>30513794>but staying there enough is difficult.when you leave you're dopamine source you need to find something else to attach to, like a girl or a project, or you'll just be left in the boring nowhere thinking, man why did i leave? there was actual enjoyment beating my meat all day.
>>30515948nah, atheists doesn't want or require some kind of relationship with a divine being and is therefore not a religion
