Porn Free for 42 Days!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Glad to see I’m not the only one actively trying to kick the porn habit (although, I knew that already).

I’ve survived to Day 44, although, last night I had a dream that I went on a weekend-long porn binge. It started off with me “accidentally” clicking on a link that took me to Jizzhut, and then, I kept hitting refresh until there was a thumbnail on the homepage for a video with Sara Jay (she’s always been my favorite for some reason). So then I *had* to watch all of the new videos she’d released over the last month and a half.

Anyway, I woke up this morning and, because the dream was so vivid/I had a few too many last night, I was afraid it had actually happened. Thankfully, it didn’t.

Not sure what the dream means, but at least it wasn’t reality!

I understand you very well. When I can reach long period free from porn suddendly I start dreaming porn. And the day after is really difficult tring to not find the video on internet.

Anyway compliments for your 44 days of abstinence. Keep on!!

I’d say that’s your imagination becoming healthy again, I almost never have sex/porn dreams. Can’t wait till I do. I seem to re-boot pretty fast.

Were you masturbating in this time? This means no nudity photos at all right?

Yesterday was definitely tough after the very vivid porn dream, but I was able to avoid porn!

Yep- no nudity photos at all. Or, Maxim type photos for that matter.

Okay hold on. Have you been masturbating or not?

No masturbation, but I have been having sex.

carrbc,
Thanks for a great thread. Congratulations on your 44 days. Keep it up, so to speak. I have a serious porn addiction. I’ve given up alcohol and smoking in the past. Porn on the otherhand is just something I can’t stay away from. I’ll give that Netnanny a try. Like you said, the few seconds of delay from porn could be what I need.

Thanks again.

Okay great that clears me up. I also need a reminder. I guess I need to delete the photos of exes on my cell as well.lame!

@ bowie knife - you can do it. Seriously! It’s going to take a lot of willpower and effort, but you can do it!

@iron - get rid of or avoid ANYTHING that used to prompt you to look at porn. Yes, EVERYTHING!

For some reason today has been incredibly tough. Definitely jonsing for some porn. Probably because work has been stressful and kicking my ass!

I havent watched porn since April 20th and I haven’t masturbated for 14 days. Last two days I’ve been insanely horny with stupid wood. Reading anything borderline sexual gets me hard now. Hopefully in a few months all my symptoms of ED are gone.

Sounds like they are already gone. I look forward to the dopamine boosts my brain will naturally get now without the porn shit. I can’t wait to feel what you are describing, I get it in about 2 weeks, 3 at most.

Hang in there, don’t do it. I personally don’t see a problem with masturbating or making sure you have sex when you get home when the urges are that high, it is natural after all.

No man, I still struggle to get a full erection without vigorous masturbation for the most part. I’m thinking after 90 or so days I should be good though

Made it to day 50! For some reason this last week has been incredibly tough. Not sure why.

Funny story - I have a monthly calendar that hangs on my wall at work, and, since I quit porn, I’ve counted up every day (e.g. my calendar today has a number 50 in the lower right corner), and I’ve highlighted every 30th day. Yesterday, my boss came into my office to talk about some scheduling and looked at my calendar and asked why I had a day highlighted on the calendar. It took a second to think up something, so I said it was something for my diet. Thankfully no other questions were asked because I probably would’ve been stumped!
