Quiting porn

[derocker Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close derocker]

I'm in a serious relationship now. Although it might seem pretty silly, I feel somewhat guilty watching porn. I decided to quit watching it. I'm sure it won't be easy, I've been watching porn for at least ten years. Still, I hope to succeed! I'll keep track here.

Nice! Did you notice something at your first reboot? Any difference in how you feel, how you make gains, or anything at all?

Do you perhaps have any tips?

I too am deciding to "reboot." I stopped using porn a few times. When I started dating my (first) girlfriend last April I went all summer without looking at it once. Now it is a long-distance relationship and it's hard not to look at it. It doesn't make it easy when she tells me she watches it sometimes and I am 2000 miles away, but I have decided I am going to stop.

Noticed any benifits from quiting?

Day 1 went smoothly, didn't feel the urge to watch porn.

Honestly, when I had a girlfriend, I had no need for porn. I've gone 21 days without porn now being single. It's a time waster, and I just feel good not having to watch it. That's a benefit in itself to me.

I just finished my reboot of 7 weeks a few days ago, masturbated to orgasm twice and viewed porn for maybe two minutes. But now im going to continue without porn, started PE, replacing my porn watching with something more useful. I have no moral issues or shame about porn, mainly started the reboot because I noticed my erections didn't feel as good as they used to and were sluggish most of the time, and had morning wood maybe once in a week or two. Also had less interest to real sex and lost my change with two girls because I could't hold erection for long enough, just wasn't turned on enough. Already after 2 weeks I had morning erections more often and at the end of reboot woke up with erection way more often, and now that I started PE I have erection about every morning I wake up. And also noticed some other benefits from reboot, like now Im more interested finding real sex partners.

About a year ago when I also had some libido problems I did read about porn addiction and just thought that no it can't be because of that, because I wasn't acting like addict and didn't masturbated for it couple of times on everyday, mostly masturbated maybe once every other day if even that. But later ended up on a site which opened more the role of brains on this thing and explained about reducing of the dopamine receptors and I started my reboot from that day, was a good decision for myself, had my sexual confidence back.

Nice to hear your story, definitely motivates me to continue!

Day 2 went pretty smooth, didn't feel the urge to watch porn.

Day 3 went smoothly. Felt the urge to watch porn a little bit, mainly because I was somewhat horny. I masturbated without porn.

Just a question. Would you consider reading erotic stories and fantasies as porn??

Well I just decided I need to quit a few days ago. One of my big motivations is desensitization and the fear of that getting worse. I definitely have delayed ejaculation and it is very hard to orgasm during sex with my girlfriend. That upsets me and I know it really upsets her.

yourbrainonporn.com is what got me back on this track. It was mentioned in a new thread in the success forum.

Tough question. I guess I don't, since it's not visual.

Saw that website as well, it seems to exaggerate a bit though.

Day 1: regrets...

its a hard thing to do. I've been trying to not watch it and been doin good too, but the past few weeks I've done nothin but jerk it and watch a lil porn. Did go about 6 months no porn though, want to go a lot longer.
