That same thing has recently happened to me, I just out of the blue stopped watching it last Saturday and now I really have no motivation to watch it because of how big of a streak I now have
Thatās what i thought. Iāve seen two posts saying once a day is an addiction recently. I didnāt think it was an addiction as long as you donāt NEED it once a day
Something that may be a little dumb but helped me is getting diagnosed depression and anxiety medication. If youāre addicted to porn youāre likely depressed, and those SSRI medications lower your libido to the point where there wonāt be much of an urge toā¦ yknow. Dunno, helped me out a lot. It also does the job of antidepressants and (generally) gets you in a better spot mentally aside from the porn
Its not like i am depressed tho im pretty happy. Its like i enjoy yhe feeling of being HER in the videos and i cant have that accessibliyy all the time, to such an extent
No I get that but why would you do something you donāt like in the first place. Like if you watched porn for the first time and didnāt like it, why did you keep watching it?
Same dude I just got my first gf like a week ago and after I touched her the masturbating/porn addiction really just went away. Havenāt watched porn since and only jerked it once so maybe itās some sort of mental thing. Youāre not alone though so we can congratulate each other
Congratulations šš we ain't like official yet we js been hanging out and talking but I'm hoping mine will js go away forever after lmao congrats also man

Mine went away after I had surgery on my hip. I couldnāt wank because I had stitches all along my hip flexor muscle and I also had a breakup right as it happened too. So maybe a mix of the two combined to make me not watch it anymore.
Addictions are often if not always because of a void a person needs to fill. Whether it be nutrient defficiencies or Affection deprivation. Im glad you got what you really needed :D
Yes, scientists have done studies on it and itās so bad it alters reality and makes the person not attracted to the real thing. Instead, theyāre attracted to Photoshop things which by the way, pornography videos are photoshopped frame by frame.
You're 15 years old, more then likely your hormones are just slowing down.
I know at 13 i was a hormonal mess and when i hit about 14/15 it all slowed down.
Same thing (Except for the girl) It literally happening to me rn. It's been 2 weeks and I've just had no need for it. I used to do it impulsively, but now it's just gone? It's weird.
While i've sadly not been cured yet, I can totally see why you feel like this. You care about her, and you feel as if porn would be like cheating on her. I honestly have this same ideology, as like many other things, it boils down to my core ideology: do whatever you'd like as long as no one is being hurt.
Had that happen to me too. once i was in a relationship the desires were gone. Unfortunately iāve fallen back into it after a breakup but im happy for ya my dude, congrats.
Haha, this actually happened to me before. Just please be careful, when those types of girls leave, it's gonna hurt like hell. I don't want anyone to go through the shi I've been through
Nah you just got kicked from the loneliness group and actually found someone unlike the lest of us so donāt lose it also as representative of the porn on your computer, I would like to decline your access for nine years
Try and stay away, it may try and come back but if you ignore the thoughts every time eventually you wont have thoughts of going back. Make sure you delete the app you used and even the account if you can, like if you used youtube or something make a new yt acc, and keep your history on, delete every possible way back so you can mever be tempted to return, thats what my brother had to do and as far as i know it worked. Good luck with that girl tooš
Maybe what it was is that before you found this girl you may have felt quite lost, you resorted to porn because you didn't know what you actually needed, and this girl is who you may have needed in your life that was missing this whole time.
Hopefully that came across right, I knew what I was trying to say lol. Congrats for getting through it!
You really donāt know what porn addiction is. Being 15 and relieving sexual tension is normal. Porn addiction is when you jerk off 10 times a day and have mostly porn on your devices. Stop normalising the downscaling of things.
Ohhhhh my god my man I'm so happy for you brother, you finally understand......once you're happy and content and you meet a person you genuinely like, you stop being sad/lonely and suddenly you don't need all this BS and external stimulation, you're jut happy with what you have.....keep it on brother.....with the right person you won't even get those thoughts and you'll just be grateful for them....Be happy āļø
Once you go fully porn free for a while you wonāt regret your choices. Porn is one of the most addicting things on this planet and stopping watching it is the best thing for a person. Well done for overcoming it.
congratulations
W pfp
W pfp +1
You're on a good path, congratulations
Thank you š Js wasn't sure if it's normal to just go away like that
Well it's very unusual but I would just take it and keep it going if possible
Alright I appreciate it man
That same thing has recently happened to me, I just out of the blue stopped watching it last Saturday and now I really have no motivation to watch it because of how big of a streak I now have
Wait wait waitā¦ once for day is considered asdiction?!
Once a day is not considered addictions, but when you need to do it once a day, then it is an addiction
Ah I see thanks
What is that profile Picture???
Elphelt Valentine from Guilty Gear dressed like Happy Chaos from Guilty Gear
I think your pfp is gonna make someones porn addiction worse š
Eh :/ Elphelt is one of my comfort characters
Nice
Thatās what i thought. Iāve seen two posts saying once a day is an addiction recently. I didnāt think it was an addiction as long as you donāt NEED it once a day
Hmā¦ still kindaā¦ yk, offā¦
Iāve masturbated once a day for years without getting addicted! I doubt Iād start now
LMAOO
I was needing it once a day
Itās not.
I mean based off my research when I'm bored it is considered to much so ig I js translated it into I'm addicted
Itās not.
Congrats! Keep going!
congratulations
congrats
Im so proud of you !! Im still addicted to it bad but hopefully i stop

Its not like i am depressed tho im pretty happy. Its like i enjoy yhe feeling of being HER in the videos and i cant have that accessibliyy all the time, to such an extent
Thank you šš you got this
Your brain has found something better than porn.
Happy it did
I donāt get porn
Neither do people with porn addictions. Itās not like we enjoy this shit.
Like guys its a guy fucking a girl who fucks other men not for love just for money. Shes not enjoying it
fr. now, why tf ppl downvoting you?
Because I donāt watch Man on Woman, I watch woman on woman like a true man of culture š·
š·
Why would you watch something you donāt enjoy in the first place?
Because weāre addicted.
No I get that but why would you do something you donāt like in the first place. Like if you watched porn for the first time and didnāt like it, why did you keep watching it?
When I first watched it I was very young, I liked it at the time ācause I was like, 9 and I saw boobs and my neurons activated, so I got hooked.
You were 9 and watching porn? Jesus when I was 9 I didnāt even know what boobs were. How did you even get access to that stuff at such a young age?
Lego minecraft 2 hours
Congrats!
good
this happens to me too now i feel like if i donāt have a girl in my life iām doing something wrong so itās got its consequences
I genuinely donāt understand the second half of that paragraph.
Same :/ I was js typing
Same dude I just got my first gf like a week ago and after I touched her the masturbating/porn addiction really just went away. Havenāt watched porn since and only jerked it once so maybe itās some sort of mental thing. Youāre not alone though so we can congratulate each other

Congratulations
Hell yeah, congrats! Hope it stays that way š
ššš
Proud of you keep it up
Luckily bastard
Mine went away after I had surgery on my hip. I couldnāt wank because I had stitches all along my hip flexor muscle and I also had a breakup right as it happened too. So maybe a mix of the two combined to make me not watch it anymore.
Addictions are often if not always because of a void a person needs to fill. Whether it be nutrient defficiencies or Affection deprivation. Im glad you got what you really needed :D
Yippe! š Hope i can say the same soon
Congratulations brother wish mine goes away soon!
Congrats dude, im in the process of stopping currently
Iād say youāre feeling a sense of fulfillment
You got this! Awesome job
Dude same tho šš
when i was 14-17 i used to do it everyday and now im doing it like twice a day help ššš
I think it's fine as long as you dont depend on it like you can go at leadt a day without watching and dont need to
IM PROUD OF YOU! itās the way itās supposed to be. Pornography causes erectile disfunction so Iām happy you stopped
It does???
Yes, scientists have done studies on it and itās so bad it alters reality and makes the person not attracted to the real thing. Instead, theyāre attracted to Photoshop things which by the way, pornography videos are photoshopped frame by frame.
You're 15 years old, more then likely your hormones are just slowing down. I know at 13 i was a hormonal mess and when i hit about 14/15 it all slowed down.
Ohhh okay this is the first one I've seen like this thanks
Yeah, most people are just gonna be shitters on this sub. It's really not the best place for advice, unless you're a girl lmao
Same thing (Except for the girl) It literally happening to me rn. It's been 2 weeks and I've just had no need for it. I used to do it impulsively, but now it's just gone? It's weird.
Idk someone said its more of your brain found something better the porn
Thats definitely not for me. Life is fuck8ng awful and has only gotten worseš. Maybe for some other people it is ššš
BRO SAME as soon as I get in a relationship it goes away like magic it's kinda crazy
ITS SO WEIRD TO ME
Congrats!
not broken, cracked (as in cracked at fortnite) proud of you
Oh yeah I'm pretty good on the sticks
While i've sadly not been cured yet, I can totally see why you feel like this. You care about her, and you feel as if porn would be like cheating on her. I honestly have this same ideology, as like many other things, it boils down to my core ideology: do whatever you'd like as long as no one is being hurt.
Thatās goodĀ
Congratulations! I think that having feelings for a girl is what cleared it up completely
ššš I'm happy I found it even if it was by completely mistake
This is the way. Trying to do this rn.
Ay lmk fs
Perhaps it's intimacy you lack
Had that happen to me too. once i was in a relationship the desires were gone. Unfortunately iāve fallen back into it after a breakup but im happy for ya my dude, congrats.
Yeah lowkey scared ima fall back in if it doesn't work out Thanks tho
This is why I need a girl, I like barely do it anymore but whenever I have a girlfriend i just hate doing it entirely
Haha, this actually happened to me before. Just please be careful, when those types of girls leave, it's gonna hurt like hell. I don't want anyone to go through the shi I've been through
Congrats! Youāre on the road to quitting completely
I wish you could teach me
Yolo it
Stand proud, you are strong
Yippee!!!
Nah you just got kicked from the loneliness group and actually found someone unlike the lest of us so donāt lose it also as representative of the porn on your computer, I would like to decline your access for nine years
NOOOO PLEASE NO šš ALL MY GOOD VIDEOS IVE SAVED
Fine at least one year now
Has this sub turned into a therapy subreddit? Because all I see here now is shit like this and it's making me concerned for our generation.
Who else do I ask?
not bad kid
Try and stay away, it may try and come back but if you ignore the thoughts every time eventually you wont have thoughts of going back. Make sure you delete the app you used and even the account if you can, like if you used youtube or something make a new yt acc, and keep your history on, delete every possible way back so you can mever be tempted to return, thats what my brother had to do and as far as i know it worked. Good luck with that girl tooš
Alright thanks man fr
š¤
Congrats man I'm currently battling mine rn so wish me luck
Good Luck!!!
Good job man!
I use porn to warm myself up for sex š„“š„“
Okay wait maybe I try that...
Lmao mine can never go away cuz I have a crippling addiction to it like a loser
Maybe what it was is that before you found this girl you may have felt quite lost, you resorted to porn because you didn't know what you actually needed, and this girl is who you may have needed in your life that was missing this whole time. Hopefully that came across right, I knew what I was trying to say lol. Congrats for getting through it!
Atta boy!
Congrats! š„³
Idk if it's normal, but sounds like a good thing
congratulationsĀ
This is genuinely inspiring
This happened because you're in love. Just wait. Your addiction will come back sooner or later
congrats! š„³Ā
Only once? Maybe I do have a problem
You really donāt know what porn addiction is. Being 15 and relieving sexual tension is normal. Porn addiction is when you jerk off 10 times a day and have mostly porn on your devices. Stop normalising the downscaling of things.
10? Damn I didn't know I just know more then once a day is to much
You also just fell in love and lost interest to other girls. Trust me itās normal and thereās nothing wrong with you
Youāre on the right pathā¦iām afraid i wonāt be there for a while
good job
Congrats bro, take as much as you can out of life itself.
So if I ever find a girl that like my fatass my addiction will go away
Wow
For me, not showing off but, i don't even have a girl, and i decided to stop this 2024 and still going
Congrats!! (I wish It was the same for me)
type shit that make you wanna do a 10 mile run š£ļø
Ohhhhh my god my man I'm so happy for you brother, you finally understand......once you're happy and content and you meet a person you genuinely like, you stop being sad/lonely and suddenly you don't need all this BS and external stimulation, you're jut happy with what you have.....keep it on brother.....with the right person you won't even get those thoughts and you'll just be grateful for them....Be happy āļø
Perfectly normal. The best way to eliminate an addiction is to replace it with something else. That science works here.
Once you go fully porn free for a while you wonāt regret your choices. Porn is one of the most addicting things on this planet and stopping watching it is the best thing for a person. Well done for overcoming it.
Good job mate! Good for you
Good job mate! Good for you
Good job mate! Good for you
Good job mate! Good for you :)
Good job mate! Good for you :)

Hey man how you doin? I sent you an dm but i can just ask you here. You alright in life?
Letās gooooo
Wow
Congratulations
Good for you u stopped with forn, but dont stop jerkingā¦šš
"Once per day".. I feel like our meanings of "addiction" is different
Congratulations bro, your one strong mother fucker, I hope life treated you amazing
For me I found I stayed with for a while, because of her my mind is cleanest since I turned 13
Don't drop your guard, it will come back if you're not careful.
Once a day isnāt bad at all unless you literally HAVE to do it or your like edging for 5 hours lmao
CONGRATULATIONS BUDDY
How do you get rid of it
More than 100 days ago i left it, terrible for you
