No-Porn Forever - are you a bad enough dude to reboot?

Jesus, it's only been two days. It feels like months :(

I'm realizing I was more addicted than I originally thought

Count me in, let's do this.

By the way, now that we're on the subject, can somebody confirm that gays look upon these things differently than straights do? I believe I heard that somewhere.

There's a good chance that it's not addiction, just biological attraction.
You still might be addicted, though.

Going to be serious as from tomorrow, Fridays are a nice day to start off on.

They get their prostates touched by dicks/fingers/whatever, I think it's much easier for gays to get off and achieve erection.

Straight people get their prostates touched too. That isn't exclusively a gay thing.

So if it's not a main part of your life, you're fine.

Speaking from experience, anal stimulation of the prostate is a lot more intense than stimulating the penis.

Wait, really?

[yawmwen]

[QUOTE=Paravin;35632942]Wait, really?[/QUOTE]

Yup. I've never personally had it done, but I've known people who have. I think I would need to trust a girl a little bit before I let her stick her finger up my bum though. I'd definitely try it, but not just with a random chick.

[Steff]

This has turned into PORNY 2012. I wont get too surprised if this starts showing up on facebook in the next few weeks.

And in the end, we will all end up jackin' it (in San Diego).

I didn't watch porn for 4 days now. Did I already survive the hardest part?

Yes you did. I'm proud of you! I'm at day 8 or 9 without fapping, 12 or so without porn.

[PockyWitch]

I want to try it, just to prove myself that I can change part of my daily life.

Okay, just deleted all my porn. Now I got a bit more free space on my second HDD.

[DaCool]

Atleast, my mood is not going up and down like my penis yesterday.

[Pace.]

some tips for everyone, im on day 3, but the most ive ever been is 6 weeks.

make sure you occupy your time. if your day consists of 12 hours on the computer or something, you are going to find this VERY HARD (BONER PUN MOST DEFINITELY INTENDED) Take up a hobby, call up some friends, make sure you occupy your time with something.

secondly, browse this thread, and yourbrainonporn.com regularly. its very easy to forget why your doing this over the long term.

Giant 300+ page thread on this whole subject

[url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=138995133&page=1[/url]

also get an internet censor/blocker and put a password on it you wont remember.

[B]Note:[/B]
If you feel the urge, immediately shut off the computer, do some pushups, go for a run or do something else. The worst thing you can do is say "oh ill browse a few pics or something its fine" because then youll get horny and when your in that state you wont be thinking rationally and itll be heaps easy to give up there and then.

Also, if anyone doubts that this works, think about it. If you're constantly making your brain release large amounts of dopamine, your dopamine receptors are going to numb eventually because theyre used to getting a constant fix of dopamine. This means you arent going to feel as good as you do normally. Come to think of it its pretty much analogous to drug addiction in the neurochemical sense, only its not nearly as bad.

Finally, try not to count this in days. I'll admit, the first couple of weeks are going to feel like a year, but after that it gets a whole lot easier, and you start to feel a whole lot better. But don't try to think "im on day 5 im on day 5 im on day 5 HURRY UP AND END ALREADY DAY 5" just try to think that you've just given up porn/fapping, and thats that.

only 4 days has gone since last, feels like a fucking eternity

[MxOAgentJohnson]

I've been wank free for 2 weeks now and whilst i do get random erections, i couldnt get it up with a girl i liked so it hit me that i needed to stop waking/watching porns.

I have been so tempted sometimes but i stopped, hopefully this helps as i find myself more in control of things now that i can overcome the urge to rip out the beast and fap to whatever the hell i want.

[disseminate]

I was at some girl's house with a friend last night and somehow the topic got onto masturbation.

Long story short, I now know a cute girl that masturbates more than I do. fuck

Oh, also, found this massive testimony list - [url]http://www.reuniting.info/download/pdf/0.BENEFITS.pdf[/url]

Feel free to browse down it, see what symptoms other people have/had, what they went through etc.

[SilverBullet]

Well, here's my shitty theory, I myself have excellent sexual drive, and I have never had any adverse affects from porn, but that's me. I enjoy my life and it doesn't feel dead and numb. I really enjoy the little things. I think that your brain gets used to the way you watch porn a lot, releasing dopamine and all that. But it gets well adjusted, in my case at least. And if you stop, your brain has to adjust to the other pattern that you are now putting on yourself. At first that might make us feel shitty but once it's adjusted we feel great again and it is nice in comparison to when you felt like you were having mood swings all over the place. Makes you feel like it was a improvement from watching porn.
Maybe it is, but for me, its not. Don't tell me I have never tried it because I have and it didn't do much.

[Centralia]

I don't give a shit about the science mumbo jumbo. I've had interesting experiences with depriving myself of things. One time I took away my computer and tv and literally just sat alone for 2 weeks. It was an eye opening experience and it took me a while to hook my computer back up. I don't use it as much now as a result and don't think about it much.

[reverno]

I'm in, add me to the list, noticed I was considerably happier and girls reacted to me more when I stopped masturbating for 3 weeks, went back to it due to boredom a couple of weeks ago, feeling depressed again, I'm also less confident and the girl I like noticed it. When you do it due to boredom, it needs to stop.

Will do 20 push-ups and 15 sit-ups every time I get the urge, seems like the best way.

The thing that helped me quit for 3 weeks before was I was always listening to music around the time I generally felt the urge, if I was enjoying the music I just didn't get the urge at all.

Possibly a placebo, don't care, if it works for me then I'm happy being ignorant.

you watched porn without wanking? that is like eating without swallowing
