I’m 11 days without porn which is the longest I’ve gone in a very long time. I’m having a difficult time not masturbating, I’m getting aroused frequently and I’m constantly looking for distractions. If anyone has advice on controlling arousal please share
Do not watch movies with sex scenes. Do not listen to music about sex. Never stay alone at home without anything to do. Hit the gym. Read books. Go for a run. Be a better version of yourself. 11 days? You almost have the hardest part done. Trust me, it gets better. After a while, you don’t even want to masturbate. I once went 6-7 months without jerking off. I relapsed, but now I know it’s possible to stop.

I’ve found even just walking the block helps - even only if because it uses up time, leaving less time to relapse (doesn’t always stop the urges, but does stop the doing)
