I wanted to know what ppls ideas was regarding beating without porn. When I get to around a week and a half urges become pretty intense. Intercourse isn’t an option since I’m waiting for marriage. Tbh most of the time I just want to get a wet dream to let it out, but I’ve never had one before.
I personally think it’s ok to do so without porn *IF* it is genuine sexual arousal and not the typical dopamine craving that feeds the addiction. I went 100% cold Turkey for a while when I first started and it helped me a lot to require myself. But I think long term it is best to just understand your desires and have a good relationship with your sexual interests. I would personally recommend going cold Turkey for a bit to build up the discipline (Just my opinion, so tweak things based on your goals, motivations, triggers, etc)
