I stopped enjoying porn within one week.

Day 11

Long post- I’ve struggled with porn addiction since I was about 11. I’m now 21, and finally found something that works. I tried two things at the same time, and I found that it completely turned me off from porn. Obviously I’m on this app, and that alone was huge. For me, spending 20 bucks to fix this habit is worth it. So the first thing was this effort. The second thing was I tried to jerk off in a better way. I used to always do so without anything additional. I would watch porn and pleasure myself with my hand, dry. I decided that I would prefer to have real sex when I could, or when I’m feeling it, using oil to satisfy myself, since it was the next closest thing. But I would avoid doing porn at all costs. So far I’m only about 15 days in or so, but I haven’t even felt all that tempted because using oil has felt so much better physically, that I actually feel like I can just use my imagination, and the new physical feeling is much stronger, and highly stimulating. I know that sounds crazy but doing this change… it’s like vaping instead of smoking, but now I can actually quit porn. I can stop being addicted! The best part is that this method is simply preparing me for sex, since that is wet, and this is too, it’s been a lot easier to acclimate/ change my poor habit into one of exploration and healthy growth towards the goal of having great sex. It seems like the perfect mix of something new and something good to which I can confidently say it’s the best way I’ve tried in a decade. I’ve never felt in control of this problem until now. Literally try any oil, but I use sex specific lubrication because it’s as close as I can get. If you’ve already tried this, then try something else, something different so that you can pleasure yourself in a novel way, as close to sex as possible, and then just feel it. Focus on feeling it in that moment!

I thought I should also add that I only allow myself to use oil without using my phone. It’s a preventative measure but when I use the oil, it gets on my hands, and I don’t like to touch my phone until I wash them after. (This is just my personal method, not saying it works, but it might be worth a shot, rather than trying the no nut challenge.)
