SIGN ME UP [editline]17th April 2012[/editline] I go rage mode after only a few days with no fapping, start snapping at people for minor things, how the hell am I supposed to hold off for months? :D BUT I'M DOING IT ANYWAY. *Salutes* Bon chance, comrades.
COMMENCING OPERATION FOREVER ALONE

This reminds me of Teens Against Pornography, before they shut down their site :v:
Cheat code: Have a girlfriend. Anyways, I'm stopping porn for her and me. I want to be more sexually sensitive, and looking at porn makes me feel like I'm being dishonest towards her.
Sign me up! I've been slowly weaning myself off and I'm almost to once a week viewing porn. Hopefully I can keep it up longer than a month.
So I can basically never browse any board on 4chan or 420chan ever again?
I agree with what the OP says. During times I've tried to quit, I have felt 100% better but one little thing just causes me to collapse... I'll try it. I've been trying to kick this addiction for a couple years now. I even put up the OpenDNS website filter on my computer but I'm too good at computers for my own good... I'll find ways around it or reverse whatever I did in the instructions.

Personally, I think it works to some degree, making yourself reconsider exactly what you're about to do, even though you've come that far - but it won't stop you.
Add me to the list, if I ever get the urge I'll just think of old nuns exposing themselves to me.
I agree. I checked out the yourbrainonporn.com website and it gave me a huge variety of filters and software that uses passwords that I could use, throw out the gibberish password, and lock myself out. However, I still need to cover every single device I could use. My android has a software for it too so I'll try that when I get home. I feel so less connected to people and depressed recently because I've relapsed into a long indulgence of this dang thing. I tried using safesearch and password protecting the switch but for some reason, it didn't work. And Facepunch and Fast Threads totally don't help... I never considered masturbating to actually be part of the problem. I don't like it because I fantasize about people I know and since I've started yeeeears ago, I still feel awkward afterwards. I have been able to stop for about a month or two at a time but I always kept masturbating... I guess I'll try to stop that too.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;35605130]This isn't some fight you can win, seriously. You're gonna fail. Every single person in the history of the world who's ever tried to do anything like this has failed. You're fighting against the most bred in, deeply rooted instinct in the human brain, you're gonna lose. Sorry. You might as well be trying to wait out boredom. I have no idea why any of you are bothering.[/QUOTE] I really pity you. I've overcome a couple things much worse than a simple masturbation addiction in my relatively short life.

With any luck, you'll see one and think twice about your rationalization.
[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;35605361]Porn is good stuff. If you see good stuff constantly, you're slowly losing your excitement for it and you need even better stuff until this cycle grows out of control and you end up with erectile dysfunction. That's what he seems to be saying anyway.[/QUOTE] I've watched porn a lot in my days and I've never had a problem getting it up when I'm with a woman. Some of this sounds about right but much sounds like bullshit.

I've watched all the movies and read all over the site. Still not get it.
40 hours in. Oh god I feel like I need to touch my willy.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;35609034]40 hours in. Oh god I feel like I need to touch my willy.[/QUOTE] 3 more days.
[QUOTE=Disseminate;35609112]3 more days.[/QUOTE] I can't concentrate no more. 30 hours here.
Well, I will not give up my porn but I can cut down to 1-2 days a week as a start. Won't be the biggest change but I'll see how I feel.
I'm at about 30 hours as well - and I have to go to work in an hour. It's manual labor, so I'll be able to get through it with any luck.
might do this, i noticed i used to get a lot more action with girls before i was fapping everyday. I guess i'm just no longer horny enough to deal with all the bullshit that women give you in life haha
I don't use porn daily so I guess I'm not addicted? To be honest I doubt I will receive any benefits except maybe 30 free minutes where I'm not acting suspicious for one day in a week - here goes. I am already 3 days since last porn.
Cool theory.
[QUOTE=Gareth;35609875]I guess i'm just no longer horny enough to deal with all the bullshit that women give you in life haha[/QUOTE] Bahaha exactly Yeah hopefully I'll feel more obligated to pick up a girl to satisfy me instead of going home to porn every night
hahhahaha good joke
Well giving it a new try, was kind a joke the first time [sp]So I hope I get away from the fail list[/sp] Wow, can't believe it. I've deleted all my porn, 140gb, gone.
Alright I guess I'll try it out.
Count me in, but I'm doing it for my own specific personal reasons and not for anything else.
