Starting Porn detox march 1st

I failed my way to a succesful quit in both tobacco and porn. It’s great to be free from both! When you slip start up again right away.

There’s nothing like a porn free spontaneous erection at 46 years old. I feel like a teen again.

I’m just a couple years younger, Titleist, and it’s the same for me, all thanks to PE and quitting porn. Perhaps I shouldn’t be grinning as I write this, but I’m starting to feel kind of sorry for my wife— her husband is now bigger, harder, lasts far longer, and wants to squeeze that fat thing inside her all the time. The poor girl is getting pretty wiped out lately.

I quit porn a month and a half ago. Cold turkey. Not only is sex better, PE goes a lot easier not scrolling around on the macbook for the perfect porn video. I say quit if you can and stay away!

Girth

I quit 10 days ago, and last night was the first night I was slightly tempted. I resisted though, so my streak is still alive. It hasn’t really been that difficult for me, but it has freed up some time haha.

Right guys, don’t take the failures seriously, just pick up and try again!

Very happy for you! I find it’s the simple it’s things that get me hard now.

Keep your quit going!

I will. It’s been really easy for me, actually, and I wouldn’t really characterize my viewing as being addictive— unless we define the term as ‘habitually engaging in an activity that adversely impacts one’s life’.

For me the turning point was that I changed my PE routine and stopped clamping. With clamping, the porn was necessary to keep me interested for the duration of each session. Now that I don’t need it for that purpose, I don’t feel the need for it for masturbation purposes either. And since this has led to such fantastic (and rapid) changes in my life, there’s not a chance that I’d go back. The positive effects are just too good.

What about women that watch porn? — I don’t have sex, but I enjoy watching certain things.. Is that strange? I don’t NEED it to get off.. I have a pretty vivid imagination, but I do enjoy the visual stimulation from time to time.

I’m pretty weird, though.. I don’t flirt with guys, usually.. I only flirt with one guy.. And I’ve known him for 16 years. We’ve never had sex, but I flirt relentlessly with him, because I’m comfortable with him.. He flirts back.. Anyway- In real life, I’m very shy/modest/reserved.. Most people would have a difficult time imagining that I’m interested in half the things that I am (sexually speaking).. I think most people that know me would have a cow, actually.. I haven’t got a lot of experience or anything with men.. I’ve only been with one guy.. 8 years ago.. So I tend to shy away from men, because I’m embarrassed and just really am so shy.. So I find myself at home, by myself, watching porn.. Doing my thing, lol.. Of course I wish I was with an actual guy & not using my fingers or a toy.. But then I realize that I’m just too shy to find anyone & would never just do a one night kind of thing.. So I just do what I have to do & move on.

As for you guys watching yourselves masturbate & it being sad.. Bless your hearts. :/ I’m so sorry. You’re lucky that you have wives, though. :) Even if you do watch porn & stuff. I’d love to be someone’s wife, so I could get myself some regular booty, lol :) (not the only reason, but one of the more awesome benefits of being married!)

That also reminded me about something that happened to me the other day.. I had used the restroom & was washing my hands & stuff.. And as I walked by the mirror, I saw my butt’s profile.. So I turned and looked at it.. Then I turned around and was looking at my butt from every angle I could.. It hit me that I hadn’t really looked at my butt in a while.. So I was staring at myself, and thought “damn, girl.. Look at that booty! That is NICE!”.. I got all happy, so I did what anyone would do in that situation: I texted all my girlfriends and told them how awesome my butt looked, so that they could take part in my joy. LOL :D I don’t think a mirror would deter me any. I kinda like what I see.. >.> LOL

Anyways, good luck Happi. :) I wish you the best. Hope that you get what you want from this & that your life improves. :)

I’m 1 year off tobacco and that seemed easy compared to porn. I just had my first cravings after 12 months, but with that kind of time under my belt it was easy to ward it off. Ill try qitting again here soon, I just need to knock out a couple of other things off my bucket list. Plus, I jsut found “new” porn a while ago, so I can’t back look away right now.. Is that bad or what!

Read this thread and my post at 158. You seem like a wonderful person, take a look at the Subliminal Blaster and make a wish!

Subliminal PE. Try it! (p. 11)

I suggest starting with “love myself, love my life”. I think you will pleasantly surprised by the changes that will occur. Just run it all day on your computer when you are on it, and give it a few months, you have nothing to lose.

When you download subliminal blaster (I suggest cnet.com) and you go to accept it, (accept and decline choices) only accept the first and decline the rest (3-4 I believe), they are add on crap.

Good luck!

More proof

Watching Porn May Be Bad for Your Brain, Study Suggests | Time

I didnt read through the actual technical data, but another data point suggesting that porn has an adverse effect on the brain

Myself, I wouldn’t call it proof— correlation vs causation issues and small sample size.

That said, I have no doubt that my life is much improved since I’ve stopped ‘watching’ porn and there’s no going back for me. (The quotes are because no one merely watches porn; there’s usually something else going on at the same time.)

You don’t only watch porn. It re-programs you.

All media does.

Much as women watching romances warps their sense of what a man is,. So porn warps a man’s perception of what a woman is.

By the way, women have been doing this for centuries, this is new for us.
