Porn Free for 42 Days!

And the big head has been screwed up by porn! Just take it a day at a time.

Just wondering how all of your detoxes are coming along? Today marks two weeks of being porn free for me!

I love this thread.

Keep up the great work brother! I am in my mid 20’s right now and I looked at porn starting at 12 and was so addicted I had a ritual of using it multiple times a day and was even watching it when I was not turned on which fried my sexual response to real life females.

My main motivation a few years back for stopping was the Hebrew scriptures, and the gospels since I did not want to commit adultery even in my heart, and the happiness I gained from realizing it cured my erection issues was priceless to me and I have been trying to share the knowledge with everyone. It was only after I quit porn that my sexual energy and confidence exploded and I could fuck like a real man with intense passion and also actually feel a deep connection with the girl I was doing it with.

I also cut out masturbation which I felt was a large piece of the puzzle, but now do it only for PE purposes and look forward to the day I can stop completely again.

I had 5 days but it ended this morning. The orgasm wasn’t even that good. I felt guilty the whole while doing it. I don’t look at it as a failure. It’s now somewhat ingrained in my brain that porn is a waste of time. I feel now that I’m capable of stopping this behavior. Last week or so I was really doubting I could.

I just restarted last night. I feel the same way bowie knife

Guys you need netnanny if this is that bad, I am serious.

I hope you get on your track again soon.

As for me, I have never succumbed for any addiction, much less porn. I watch 12 hours of porn (I recommend redtube.com, excellent!) and jerk off 5 times daily with no noticeable harm other than a small ulcer on the shaft of my dick, felling drowsy and confused all of the time and a little anguish when I’m not watching a lady being banged. Otherwise, I’m just fine.

Take care.

If I watch porn and masturbate watching it twice a week , would that be an addiction ?, and I masturbate with fantasy also .

Sorry in advance for my ignorance but I didn’t know you could get addicted to porn until I join TP.

An addiction as I see it is something you’re compelled to and can’t resist.

I’ve never watched 12 hours straight porn, no where near that, or jacked it 5 times in one day. Maybe 2 times. What’s your age? If I were you, I’d cut back while you can.

I thought about the netnanny but if my wife sees it on my computer she’s bound to ask questions.

No, I feel there’s going to be a profound change in me very soon. Yesterday while watching the porn, I was bored as well as feeling guilty. Watching porn is a waste of time. You can’t touch the 2D women, as hot as they are. In the few days I was away from porn (I did look at some pics in The Dive) I was starting to check out real world women more closely.

Very soon I believe I’ll be porn free. Now being masturbation free may be a different story, not that I do this everyday, maybe 3x/ week. I do want to get down to 1x / week max. I feel a change in my attitute towards porn. When I decided to give up smoking, the first step was the coming to realize the stupidity of the addiction, then in time things feel in line. It took me many tries but I quit.

I haven’t seen almost any porn (no more than a minute in total, but it was a case of curiosity about something in the clip, not actual porn-watching) for over 3 months and I haven’t masturbated in more than 40 days, aside from helping myself get erected enough for jelquing and maintaining that 60% erection, but that’s not really masturbation.

And I'm not feeling any different. Shouldn’t a change of some sort occur? Is it only me, or what?

From what I’ve been reading, it seems some guys reboots can take 3-4 months to happen. Have you been reading Your Brain On Porn - .

You’re 100% right. That was a big help for me.

Are there any pop up type messages with netnanny? I mean, I’m not opposed to using it, I just don’t want my wife question why its on my computer.
