Hello, I am 17 years old. I have been watching porn since I was 11 years old. It is daily routine for me to masturbate multiple times per day. I even developed a foot fettish eventually from the amount of porn I watched. I have had sex with Amy girlfriend, but it still has not pushed me over my addiction like I thought it would. I even find myself masturbating when I’m not having sex. How can I get over this?
Hi Jaxson, and welcome to YBR! Yes relationships do not cure porn addictions. The only sure way to get rid of it is to stop using it. Start a reboot. Delete all your porn. Make a plan to limit the chances you have of viewing porn, such as moving your computer into a public area. Make a plan for when urges come. Then be consistent in implementing your plan when you do have urges. Exercise, cold showers and mediation can all help you keep urges at bay. Hope this helps. Please keep us updated.
I have an idea. I think that strong emotional blast can reduce porn addiction. Something, that you fear of. In my teen years ( I'm 27 now ) my parents almost caught me masturbating. This adrenalin and stress helped me to forget about addiction. Unfortunately, after several heartbreaks and losing a good job in my mid-twenties, the depression came and I developed this bad habit again.
really continue to post / view in this forum because it helps a lot, try to read about the addiction in pornography and never give up, if you have a relapse do not blame yourself but come back to the reboot as soon as possible
All of the above mentioned tips are good places to start. Eliminate all sources of temptation including oogling over girls out in public.
All great advice from everyone. What I would personally recommend is to start a routine of meditation. That's what has helped me most, especially develop control over my mind. But of course, if you're new to it there is going to be an amount of trial and error.
Imagine that: Today, you are 27 years old, and still masturbation daily & struggling to live. And you wish that "I am too regret what I did - too waste time & energy, I miss the train to happiness - today I totally feel stuck&poor&lack confidence & money, If I were 17 years old now, I will never .... and manage to do ...". Please fill the ... whatever you want!
