Porn Detox Countdown

carrbc try and set yourself a goal of making it three days. Tell your head and your dick “In three days I will watch porn” Try to trick it into having to wait for the treat at the end of the stick that it can never reach.

That is what I had to do in order to get a long of enough spurt of days in that I could avoid porn. I would always relapse into a video of somesort in the first three days and then the hardest day would be the 7th day. After which it got a lot easier to avoid porn for longer amounts of time.

Try that instead. Maybe telling your brain and your dick straight off the bat that you are done cold turkey is kicking them into porn frenzy overdrive and making it harder for you. You understand?

Best of luck to you mate, but I have faith in you.

Thanks for the advice. Today is starting day four without porn, so I guess some slight progress has been made. As long as I’m busy I don’t think about it. Idle time KILLS me though…

Look at idle time as your chance to prove to yourself to stay away. Not as your time that you must suffer. :) Either way idle time is horrible but changing the outlook on it seemed to help me. Best of luck!

I am a huge addict here as well.

After 10 years of edging/masturbating and online hookups, my sexual triggers are very generalized. (bad sign). Places, smells, sights of type of attraction can easily trigger me…

What I do now is focus on PE and tell myself that if I masturbate, I won’t gain anything from PE. It has somewhat worked a little bit for me as I haven’t gained much over a year now. I still get tempted into porn and online hookups quite often… so with my new discovery of heat+extender, I plan to stay away from porn for at least a week.

My biggest challenge is the withdrawal effect of porn. I find that if I don’t “release” in more than 3 days, I start to have crazy horny nights. Sleep disturbance is really a problem for me. Last year I tried for 2 weeks without any porn and my sleep was hell! I was on the verge of taking some hormone pills to calm down my system.

Did anyone go through that??? Horny nites without “release”?

I believe all addictive habits are developed during idle time.
It’s not surprising to see a greater number of individuals (by percentage) are more addicted to alcohol, smokes and drugs in a small town/city where there are not a lot of public amenities or things to do. There is just too much time on hand!

One trick that works for me (sometimes) is to NOT USE that much computer at home. When I have days off, I will go to a coffee shop to use my computer. At night time, I will turn off my computer completely after 10PM. To me, a quiet alone-time is a major trigger for me. I used to spend hours (2-3hr a day) to browse and surf internet porn. That habit is so darn hard to get rid of! Right now I a much better. I may engage in over an hour edging/masturbation 2-3 times a week instead of 2-3hrs a day!

Again, all good advice and glad to see I’m not alone on this. I’ve actually started a blog about overcoming porn addiction as a means of filling my idle time with something productive. I’d put the link up but I don’t want to be accused of being spammy!

Day 5!

Erotic stories are porn?^^

Ok. Where’d that come from?
