There are guys that jerk off because they have to, I'm a guy who jerks off when he wants to. Big deal. There's nothing wrong with firing off knuckle children on occasion.

If you're watching too much porn. Fuck real women and make your own porn. Highlight reels are fun! Soon you won't watch anything except your own porn.

No-fap, don't be stupid. Getting your balls drained regularly is important for a man's health. You like porn, so what? I've yet to meet a guy who didn't. As long as you aren't obsessed about it, it's normal. How does one fight off an addiction? Just stop. Do something else instead. Instead of watching porn, get kinky with one of your chicks. Make her dress up. Make her role-play. Have fun.

Ah. A ban evader. Not sure how i didn't notice till now. Do i give you a chance or nah?

What happened to your green flag unicorn

On that same note I hope you have since changed how you receive feedback on this forum and have developed more humility

1) Fap without looking at it, so that you don't even have the urge to do it a second time with, till you train yourself to not need it

2) Realize you are using it as stress management like a drug replace it with another thing.

3) if you absolutely can't control yourself reserve it only for times in which you've already done everything you need to for the day and stick to it until these windows are so small and inopportune you just end up never having these windows to even do it and start getting untrained

Nothing wrong with being a high libido horny guy. You're getting laid, save your nut for your sex. Leave the masturbation and porn for when you're not going out with them, I mean like a dry spell or you just choose to not date for a month or two. Save it for lonely times. Not jerking off is the easy part, and usually what triggers watching porn. When not jerking off you will feel bored and that is the thing that's difficult to manage.

I think you know the answer, keep busy and set some intellectual/creative hobbies like reading X book a week,working out,yoga or your daily instrumet practice. Set those goals and meet them.

porn addiction is a real theme for this generation of men.

Here's my take: porn addiction is totally different from normal sex drive. Porn addiction is really just a dopamine addiction.

once you understand that, it falls into place. Remind yourself, whenever you feel the urge to fall into a porn hole, this is your brain telling you 'I want comfort - I am expereincing negative emotions (stress, worry, lonliness etc) and I want to feel good'.

It is nothing to do with sex drive. It is actually much more like food addiction. some people get fat because comfort eating. They are not actually hungry. they just want comfort.

That is what porn addiction is - its abusing dopamine to make discomfort go away.

Once you realise that's its just a dopamine addiction, it becomes easy. All you need is a strategy. everytime you feel the urge, you just do something else that is actually constructive. take a note of how you feel when you get the urge, then do the thing that is the better option (some small action, that you had to do anyway, like write an email, put on a wash, load the dishwasher, tidy your desk whatever, could be anything, even taking a shit) and then take a note of how you feel after taking that positive action - do you feel better? yes, you won. take a note of how it feels to win.

that's all there is to it. porn addiction is a chemical addiction. stop abusing dopamine, and the addiction fades away.

I am not sure if the hormones thing is that big of a deal, so long as you can nut before she starts complaining you are too slow, your prolactin is probably ok.

I think a lot depends on if you are at risk of a real addiction. If not, self disgust will cure your porn binge soon enough (that always works for me but I am a low dopamine, high serotonin kind of guy, which has its own issues). I don't get addicted to stuff really.

If I am wasting time on porn, I find it useful to have a rule of 5 minutes and then I am done. Its the endless doom scrolling looking for something a bit hotter that brings on the self disgust for me as minutes turn into hours of wasted life and I realise I am a weak and dumb creature held by porn hub to watch its adverts. Scroll to find a girl you would like to bang, then watch that one video. Unless its unexpectedly repellent, jerk off, close the site, carry on with life. 5 mins, 10 max and you are done. So long as its not making you nut too slowly for your girl, then its not really effecting your life like that.

A practical solution is to download a website/app blocker. Include every porn site you can think of. Make it so difficult to get through the blocker that it's not worth the effort to disable whenever you're horny.
