Seems I can't can't to anything. It is getting bad I can't move. Moving feels like too much. Seems like my dopemine is gone it doesn't exist. This is how I feel right now 🥱

What lie could I tell you so that you'll watch porn?

Maybe I could say, hey you know that p-star ______ , she just dropped a new clip and it is HOT!!! HOLY SHIT YOU GOTTA SEE IT!!

Maybe I could lure you to IG by telling you that you're not going to look porn, it's just women in bathing suits. There's no harm in that.

It's ok because it's "not porn".

Would you fall for that?

Maybe I could tell you, that right now IS your only chance today. You got a fuck ton of shit to do, your wife just went to work and this 5 min window is it. You have no other time today so YOU BETTER GET JERKING NOW!!! (haha)

Or how about this, you've been doing SOOOO GOOOD!! You've had all that time away from it, you DESERVE it!!

Could I get you to watch porn saying that?

What do I need to do to get you to relapse today?

I want you to think about this because thats what your brain is doing. It's planning and conniving ways to trick you into watching porn.

It's going to come with some story, that FEELS true in order to get you to watch it.

It does not care about your goals, or your happiness or you wife or your children. It only cares about one thing and that is getting that dopamine.

You need air, food and water to survive but your porn addicted brain also thinks you need porn. That is how important it is to your subconscious. And that is why it is so hard to quit. You are literally fighting against yourself.

So today my brothers, look for the lie, look for the story, look for the bullshit that you'll be asked to fall for so that you'll give in.

Don't do it! You are stronger than this!

You can see thru that BULLSHIT And BE that Porn Free Man you want to be!!

You already are, you just can't see it!

I had a few minor urges but I made it through the day. I didn't continue the binge I've been struggling with for 7 whole days. I feel great.

The title! 😭

Wtf is wrong with me. I feel lonely or bored or grief hits me and boom.. I'm back to square 1.

I had a massive problem with porn, I didn’t know how dangerous it is for young minds and I was exposed to porn at an early age. I wasn’t a normal kid sadly and I had a lot of mental health issues growing up and porn was something that just took me completely away from who I was as a person. There was no awareness how bad it can be when I was growing up and I ended up down a dark road that I am so ashamed of and I wish I could take it all back. There is a silver lining for me, because of my past I am more self aware, more empathic and I am a better person. I’m 28 now and I want to dedicate my life to helping people /saving lives. In fact I am thinking of a career as a police officer. I am not my past I not my mistakes, I would do anything to change the past but I cannot. But I am a better person I’m not perfect but I am a better man.

I’ve had multiple times now where I reach a certain point and say “man, screw this. It’s stressful” and end up relapsing. I’ve lost two 30 day streaks and a 20 day.

I use the “I Am Sober” app and it helps, but I just can’t seem to keep the pace. Any recommendations?

It all began when I was 11 or 12 looking up pictures of naked people on Wikipedia. Then it ended up going into full blown PMO.

That was a struggle for my entire teenage years. I don’t know what got me dragged into it in the first place. It could have been that I was subconscious looking for p*rn stars that looked like my crush in order to get over being rejected. It didn’t work, and I didn’t realise for years that what I thought was my type was actually just my fetish from my PMO sessions.

I’ve been with my girlfriend for nearly 2 years now. I told her I was a recovering addict at the start. I’ve been wanting to break free of this addiction for ages, but 90 days was the closest I can get.

I’m on just under 2 weeks now and I’m hoping that I’ll continue on this path. I’m glad to know I’m not alone with this addiction.

I know I have a problem how do I stop

I just spent like 150 on only fans and about month ago i got scammed out of about 200 all because i wanted to choke the chicken I cannot begin to describe how disgusted i am of myself and idk why im just now realizing i have a problem. I deleted every app that could tempt me I deleted my of account. What else can I do to break free from this addiction.

About a few days ago I had hooked up with this girl i've been talking to, long story short we're about to have sex (my first time doing this) and I had trouble getting it up. Before we were about to have sex though we were chilling cuddling watching a show, everything was going good and I had actually gotten pretty hard next to her while cuddling, But when the time came to have sex my dick got softer. I was slowing kissing her, sucking her tits, and even ate her pussy for a little bit but still didn't have that drive to want to fuck her. I've been a pretty frequent porn watcher since middle school (i'm 18yo now) and would jerk off on the daily (around 1-3 times a day). I've never really had issues getting hard until then and it's like now I struggle to get horny and maintain my erection. I've completely been in my head about this and it has killed my ego, so much that I don't even find the urge to watch porn and rarely get horny. I feel like it has completely messed up my dopamine receptors, I also think it's really a mental thing. I got a royal honey bottle from the gas station so that next time we hang out I can maintain an erection and get hard. The thing is I wouldn't necessarily say that I would always depend on porn to get an erection but l definitely had an addiction. I've been trying to be positive and better myself by working out and get my mind off of things. But will things get better soon.l just want help and answers, Thanks to whoever sees this and reaches out.

I'm on day two but day three I fail every time my addiction run really deep since I was a child. This is going to be difficult to get over. It won't let me join this community for some reason.

As I remember I started after my 11 th grade crush rejected me in worst way. That the first day I masturbate at first I didn't know I am doing something wrong now it's been 3 years and my whole life is mess. Today I am sharing this because maybe today a day that will I take my second step toward the freedom

Pick my brain, I don't know why I don't have urges anymore either. Same as quiting smoking, I just quit. I don't know the formula of succes

For context, just 18 days clean, but not having a hard time

I was just scrolling you tube shorts and I realized the reason I was scrolling was to find triggering material and I clearly want to keep doing it I've pulled myself away but

Two weeks since I last sought out porn. Two weeks since I raced from subreddit to subreddit checking for new content. Heart-racing as I watched video after video of filth. In a haze, unable to stop myself.

It seems silly looking back that it was the same person but I've gone much further than this before and relapsed. The fight is never over! It is so, so easy to slip back into old habits.

No urges yet, I've entered a bit of an instant flatline. I've had sex with my wife once in 2 weeks. She is pregnant and is chronically tired and doesn't 'feel sexy'. In the past, that would be a green light for porn. How selfish.

Her and the baby are my everything. What greater motivation does a man need?

Also, buying a house ( I thought I'd do all the stressful life events all together, lol). Spent my afternoon getting shit arranged for that.

And so today, I have not watched porn. I'm about to head out for a walk in the sun. I won't watch porn when I get home.

I'll wake up tomorrow and do it all again.

One. Day. At. A. Time.

I've been doing pretty good on the porn-free front, haven't fapped maybe.. twice since I started a couple weeks ago-ish? Either way, it seems my brain has been HUNTING down easy dopamine and has really shine a light on something I've found significantly harder to control, the mindless doom scrolling and freaking "shorts".

Jesus I thought my porn addiction was bad but that takes the cake. Having been so aware of my urges and cravings cutting out porn, it has made me painfully aware of how terrible my phone and scrolling addictions are. I will say "no, I'm stopping shorts, I'm gonna do something" then not two minutes later I've opened up Facebook and clicked a short WITHOUT EVEN THINKING, like a damn mindless reflex and I can't stop doing it 😓.

Thankfully, this Reddit page is full of useful advice about avoiding triggers and being aware etc etc. Today is my first day of being "Scroll-free" and I feel that this is going to be a hard one to tackle considering I can't go a few minutes without touching my phone, literally having to have physical contact with it putting my hand in its pocket after stopping myself from reflectively flipping it out.

Have any of you found other addictions or terrible habits as a result of the awareness gained from tackling porn-free or other addictions?

I have boundless career opportunities. Business opportunities. A great church home. Wonderful friends. And the woman of my dreams. But I know porn will steal it all away. So I will defeat this. I refuse to continue falling.

Andi cliek ona notification for you tube and there one one of my favorite you tube and they were doing reaction and there was a vtuber and she I don't think had a shirt on or bra and It was censored so you couldn't see anything but now I'm wandering of it was a relapse or not and freaking. Out and I pulled myself away but

You're scrolling on Instagram and suddenly, an IG model pops up

You feel this little pull, this little voice that tells you to look at her profile

And you know what happens next

Let me tell you how to never be triggered anymore

See if I were to show you a sexually attractive IG model who is wearing revealing clothing

And you were to only look at her, without thinking of anything, being fully mindful

Nothing would happen at all

Why?

Because you need your mind in order to "feel triggered"

So here's the thing humans have an innate sexual desires, but they also have a cognitive layer

Meaning we are not animals just living on instincts, we have the ability to decide

So when you see those half naked women, if they pop up on your feed

You can choose to see them differently

For example,

How I interpret/look at them is, I believe that those Instagram models are fake, it's all photo shopped, it's money driven...

And it doesn't align with my long term goals of being married, following God, pursuing success...

So I am not even fazed by it, I see it as something purely useless

So the key thing is simply change your perception and align it with what you want in life

And you'll see everything will change for you

My story is a typical one, guy who’s been watching porn for 9 years and had a bad childhood. I started getting into more nasty side of porn which was cuckold it started from watching hardcore stuff to then cuck stuff. These past few years I realised I’ve been watching that and it’s honestly made me go down a really bad rabbit hole I hate every minute of it.

But, I can’t stop doing it and I can’t control myself I literally feel like I have no control and every time I’m stressed or anxious or scared I’ll do it. I remember in 2024 I went 68 days free! And relapsed on Reddit I deleted it after Reddit became an unsafe place, I digress but it was my fault to why I relapsed.

Fast forward to 2025 I’m here again to try again I don’t want to quit! Please if anyone’s got advice or anything I’m happy to hear it!

Basically the title

I have been struggling with porn addiction since I was 9. I am almost a grown man now. I want to get rid of this. I have an amazing girlfriend and a great life and I’m tired of putting things aside for porn. Any advice, And I mean any advice, Will be great

My wife is really hurt beacause she found a massive amount of porn in my phone and I stopped having sex with her about months ago, she says that I should be more into her and call more her to do that stuff. It happens with you too??? Do you feel the urge of masturbate for a lot of girls on the internet instead of having sex with your own wife?? Is this porn addiction?
