Join the challenge! Porn detox!

Day 55, have two busy weeks ahead of me so I can hit that 2 month mark.

LOL!!!! yeup! I put two references in that post. You nailed the Starcraft one…there’s one more lurking….

Thanks for the compliments too, man. Hopefully I can still gain more and more(I’ve had less time lately).

Well, I went for 5 days and jack off. Anyway, I am starting to get bored of masturbation… perhaps because I use to jack off all the time when I was younger. I wont jack off till my birthday on August 14 (20 yo). I wont give sex too much though also…

For the guys that have gone 30+ days… You are having sex?.

yes, an obscene amount. Not sure I could have made it otherwise, it’s hard.

Yes. Its a lot easier to not think about porn when you are with a woman frequently, even if its just once a week. At least that was my experience. I guess you could say I’ve “relapsed” a few times, but after reading about a lot of guys experiences, I’m not really that addicted to it anymore. It does, however, have an overall negative impact on my sex life. I can’t explain why, but if I’m having easier time with sex when I’m not watching porn. The height of my addiction was in college. I mean, I was 20 with a long distance girlfriend that I was faithful to. I was horny out of my mind and I would often smoke and watch porn multiple times a day. Now that I have a career and am around women far more often, I’m no longer dependent on it. Problem is, porn can get me going in no time. That “quick fix” is what’s addicting. Whenever I want to have sex for some reason More often then not it goes away, but it will always get hard with porn. With time I’ve gotten good at fighting that urge and rarely give in (whereas before I would give in every time).

Bottom line after, say, a year to two years of semi-successful/successful “detox”: There’s light at the end of the tunnel, but expect it to be a long tunnel with plenty of bumps.

Check it out, fellas…basically what we’ve read is becoming more and more mainstream…

Restarting my porn detox tomorrow.

I’ve also noticed that since going off my Adderall for the summer that my penis is like a bullet now. It’s like it needs only 10-15 seconds to become erect and ready to go. I’m gonna have to see what I’m gonna do about it.

This is so much harder than I thought. I seriously cannot stop looking at porn. I installed Net Nanny today, so hopefully that helps. I have the admin controls, so I’m sure I can just override it, but at the same time, having that pop up to give me a moment of pause will hopefully do some good and help me break the cycle!

Day 64

Day 0.

Do you have anything installed on your computer to help block the porn?

I have bad news and good news. Bad news first. I’m not going to see my woman for a week, and a couple days into that I fell off the porn free wagon - got horny, watched porn, masturbated. Now the good news… I couldn’t cum from porn so after an hour or so I put it away and just imagined my girl, no problem cumming then. So I’m back to day zero with a new appreciation of having better sex in real life than I can find pictured or filmed online. Woot!!!!

:D

btw - that article you linked Stallion is really interesting and inspirational.

Day 69…. Vegas sucked! Was never more turned on in my life and couldn’t get any! I actually caught myself staring at all the stupid hooker flyers around the city. Had to jerk it in the shower once but didn’t use any stimulus other than mental imagery… still though, the urge to watch porn was at its pinnacle this week. Back at home now the urge is gone, mostly from getting laid but being away from all of the pornographic stimulus is a huge help. Still trucking on!

I find it ironic but extremely good and healthy that society is just now discovering some of the detrimental effects of pornography. Perhaps in the future porn may have a smaller impact in society and on peoples’ lives but I highly doubt it, the industry is just too powerful.

It hasn’t been posted in awhile from what I see in the last few pages so going to toss it in here again for others Your Brain On Porn - I find this website to be one of the best tools to avoid watching porn, the information in the videos is priceless IMHO.

I’ve made great gains w/ PE and this Internet porn gets in the way with great sex with my wife. Let’s hope I can stick w/ it.
