This may not work for everyone but for me, the main issue was not masturbating but porn itself - if I was going to relapse I wouldn’t use porn. I think it’s perfectly normal to have the urge to masturbate unless you are in a close relationship; there’s nothing normal about the instant gratification porn gives us. It creates unrealistic expectations in our head, causes erectile dysfunction in young adults and a range of other side effects this app warns us about. I’ve been trying this for a while and it seems to be working because I do not feel the urge to watch porn and it’s severely reduced how much I want to masturbate :)
That’s a fair point and question. There have been times when I have watched porn and not masturbated, but not the other way around. The tip I gave above has helped me to stop masturbating and watching porn altogether. The main problem for me was the urge to watch porn which then made me want to masturbate. I came up with this idea because I never masturbated without porn. I understand you may not agree, however this is mainly aimed at people who are in a similar position to me.
