Porn Free for 42 Days!

I have been porn free for around 2 months now and feel like I have it under control now. I also bought a fleshlight so i am correctly programming my dick with by not using my hand anymore nor do i ejaculate unless it is in a woman. I get erections more easily now, just a sexual thought gets me hard. Just the other day I was talking to a sexy milf, she was short and slender, so in the middle of conversing with her, I started thinking about how deep into her I would have to go into her to bottom out (gee thanks thunders posters lol) amongst other sexual thoughts, and that led to my soldier starting to salute in gym shorts. I had to abruptly end our conversation just so that she wouldn’t see it as I would have been embarrassed if she looked down to see that especially since we weren’t even discussing anything sexual at all. As I said in another thread, that has been a problem for me since I started edging and even more now that I don’t watch porn.

I think one of the things that helped me get past the porn addiction was someones advice about turning off the avatar feature. Not sure who said it, but by turning that off it helped me get past that vulnerable stage because when you see a nice ass or a busty chick it starts getting you in the mood to want to see more. Then before you know it you are on a porn site watching a busty chick porn. So that is a good tidbit of advice for those just getting on the path to porn detox.

Ich1, congratulations on your progress. Glad to hear your reboot is taking hold. Can I ask you your age and how bad would you say your ED problem was in the beginning?

The avatars don’t seem to bother me too much, at least on a conscious level. I need to stay away from the dive when I’m on this site. I’ve cut down my porn viewing greatly and I have started to have some sexual fantasy. No wood though.

I know I can overcome this problem and get my brain back in line. It’s a virtue, not a race.

I’m not sure about Net Nanny, but most browsers have a “child safe” setting that will block access to sites with NSFW content. That could be the extra obstacle you need to avoid a relapse. If your wife ever notices, you could just shrug your shoulders and mumble something about “…must have reset to the default setting…” Of course, this might block access to a lot of other sites, like this one. Just a thought…

Good idea C.C. but I tried the child filter and it gives me a popup for every website that I visit. I tried tweeking it but it just got too much of a hassle to use.

I’ve been on the computer for about 2 hours this morning. The thought of checking out porn did enter my mind strongly. I successfully resisted the urge as telling myself it’s not a good idea. This is progress as I see it. If I can continue with this way of thinking, I’ll be porn free soon.

It only pops up when you go to a site that it deems as pornographic. It can be a little testy at first, so sites she might visit (stuff like gossip sites) might be considered porn and a message will pop up.

I’m not advocating lying, but what’s going to be the bigger issue: her finding NetNanny or your not being able to have sex with her because you have porn induced ED?

NetNanny is a good backstop for those moments when you’re not strong enough to tell yourself it’s not a good idea.

Thanks bowie! I am actuallyin my late 20’s but I used to have the problem of not being about to get hard without stimulating myself, I remember when I used to not be able to get it up when i was with a girl because of all the masterbating, but now I am almost like a teenager again, I get hard off a breeze now. LOL.

carrbc, when you visit Thunder’s, will netnanny recognize it as containing porn due to ‘The Dive’?

I see your point about the “bigger issue”. An analogy that comes to mind is was when I was quitting smoking. Cigarettes were sold everywhere. I could not possibly stay out of every store that sold them. I had to accept that cigarettes would be around me. The cravings for the first couple of weeks were tremendous. I gave into the cravings many times before I quit for good. I have to come to terms that porn will always be available to me, but not good to view. I believe I’ve come to terms with porn and started changing my way of thinking.

Baby steps.

Thanks for your concern and taking time to post to me.

Ich1, you’re doing well but please keep your guard up.

I don’t know how long my reboot will take beings that I’m 52. I’d like to think it wouldn’t be longer than 2 months. I’ve been viewing porn for a long time. I’ve never had marathon sessions though. I guess some alcoholics are beer drinkers, some drink straight vodka.

Thanks for you time to post to me.

I started this porn-free venture back in January ‘12. I managed to go 3 solid weeks without masturbation, but I went on until June of this year without porn. Lately and unforunately, though, I’m back on the porn which means I’m masturbating more frequently.

Any good tips aside from the OPs that you guys can provide to get back on the no-porn bandwagon? I was actually surprised I lasted 5 months without it so I’m not sure what got me back into it again in the first place.

I really, REALLY want to be done with porn.

As a side note, I have no issues staying away from porn on my computer, it’s my iPhone that’s giving me trouble. I just get the urge in the morning after I wake up and I try to resist, but then I grab my iPhone off the small desk attached to my bed, search “pornhub” on Bing, and have at it.

Isn’t the availability a bitch? All I can offer you is to dig down deep into your soul and find the strength to resist. Or you can ditch your phone for a piece of crap phone.

Maybe every morning before you grab your phone you could post a message on this thread. That would put a break in your morning routine. Just a thought.

Best of luck.

That’s a fantastic idea. That sort of pattern break could really help.

I’ve been porn free for 6 months now. If you’ll read on yourbrainonporn. Com , it is important to avoid testing yourself to see if you’re capable of not jerking off to it, or just plain avoid watching it . The only thing I’ve succumbed to watching were some occasional ass videos on youtube. :D

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I can’t view any porn without spanking it. I may not orgasm at that time, but I’ll have set myself up to do so.

Congratulations by the way on your 6 months.

Yes, Thunders is a site that is automatically blocked. As far as I can tell, you can only unblock an entire site, so you wouldn’t be able to block certain images/threads within a site. At least, I don’t think. Someone else please correct me if I’m wrong!
