See, thees are arguments I'm seeing for MODERATION, not cold turkey approaches. drinking too much may kill me, I'm not gonna quit my whiskey. Video games could consume my life, except I'm smart enough to realize that I don't make money/friends/progress when I play games in anything except the game. And shit, these concepts don't require a genius IQ to figure out. I think "porn addiction" is just another way for the self-help industry to make millions a year with books and counseling sessions, plus it lets guys sit around and blame the world around them. It's easy to blame outside factors and addictions one why your life is goin down the shitter, tougher to acknowledge that its at least partially your fault and will only change when you man up and learn when to put the controller/bottle/fleshlight down.

How much porn have you guys been watching? I can't see the harm if you guys turn it on for five minutes when you jack off but it sounds to me like you are watching porn like other people watch movies.
Watching a little here and there is totally harmless but how did you let this grow in to an addiction?

Porn tends to become an addiction when it's used as a reliever of underlying emotional issues, such as depression/anxiety/anger, over the long term. Using porn for pleasure/entertainment is fine in moderation, and providing its used just for that, not as an escape or something to control ones underlying emotional issues. It's using porn to relieve emotional issues that is pivotal to it developing into an unhealthy addiction.

Its harder said than done! Tried this a few times and longest i have gone is 14 days!Ive slept with around 180 girls and i watch porn daily for new positions. Im addicted to it, but starting from tommorow (after tonight lol) i am going to delete my 20gb of porn and say goodbye )

Holy crap thanks for posting this...

It also reminds me of other novelty things that I have become addicted to, for the dopamine release.

I usually look at porn for 1-3 hours per day, everyday, except I don't ejaculate. I try to minimize ejaculation since it makes me tired and not horny, to once every 3-5 days... but not sure if they helps or hurts.

It does seem like I become more and more desensitized to chicks, especially when i'm in bed with them, because the last two i've been with I wasn't able to get a full erection. Shit. It's almost like I have to jerk on it just to get it hard, even then, it's only 70% hard, and i'm about to ejaculate, which is not good of course

And when even you feel like watching it, get on the floor and do 30 pushups, helps you get your mind off it.

Hell with pr0n.........have an imagination, thats always better.

Does this mean no more porn? or just no masturbation to that porn?

joined!

im up for this, could be interesting!
my rules are no porn whatsoever and masturbate once every 3 days. loving the idea of doing push ups to take mind of it!

Good ideas in here

I find the problem in watching porn:
1. You lose valuable time you could use to meet women and try to get laid.
2. When you masturbate a lot, you'll often finish more faster.
3. It kind of affects your head, is not healthy to watch it all the time.

I'm not saying you shouldn't watch porn, is good to see it sometimes is like a kamasutra in action. But there are some people that get like porn freaks and is awfull, i once even met a guy who had 80GigaBytes in PORN! I figure out that the best way to become a man who gets laid all the time, is to act and be like a guy who gets laid all the time.

The Porn Trap book is a good resource for anyone who thinks they have a problem. Really I'd say only necessary for anyone tettering on addiction and that means you start to compromise work or other things for porn. Otherwise it's a habit perhaps like smoking, drugs or acohole. One thing I noticed by not jerking off is that my erections became more strong but I guess everyone's different.

havnt watched porn for 2 months nearly and yeah ther are definite benefits guys! stronger erections, bigger sex drive, more energy and of course with not masturbating you gain added motivation to game girls. i have limited myself to one wank a week and some weeks i dont even do that now, i do fuck at least 4 times a week though. just wanted to let you know that cutting out the porn is definitely the way forward. booyah!

Not jacking off isn't motivating you to game more girls. Telling yourself "not jacking off will make my game better" is doing it. It's a placebo effect. If you're masturbating less than a dozen times a day, you have the energy to roll out. And I've said it in similar threads and possibly this one, but I will repeat it.

If getting off hurts your game, having sex with women hurts your game. Thus, successful game is actually a cycle of building up sexual tension through no orgasms, reaching a biological point where you're nearly guaranteed to get laid, then going back to square one because you came. Makes no sense...
