Porn Addict

I started watching porn when I was 14. I have masterbating since then. I have not slept with a girl yet. I am 30 now. I am single. This has led me to hesitate talking to ladies. I have attempted get rid of it 1000s of times now but I fail everytime. Long walks. Maximizing not being alone, new habits and what not. But I still watch it for hours and ***. I can not miss 2 days of it.

 I'm sorry that it's been such a struggle for you. Having to deal with such a habit is likely to have affected your confidence, which would definitely make it hard to approach ladies.


I admire your determination, having attempted to get rid of the habit thousands of times. Are the attempts repeats of a similar approach, or have you tried a great many unique approaches?


Long walks sounds like a great plan, which increases well-being, along with feelings of well-being. Exercise is known to elevate "feel-good" endorphin levels, and increase clarity of thought.


Not being alone sounds helpful too.


I doubt if just any new habit can distract from one that is long-term. I think it would have to be just the right activity, and probably one that elicits significant passion that can be focused in a different direction from the habit to be replaced. A habit that is able to result in activating a similar hormonal response, is likely to be more effective. It doesn't need to be an equivalent hormonal response, but perhaps just enough response to "take the edge off" of the addiction.


Have your attempts to get rid of the habit included counseling or therapy? There are some recent developments in medications that help with cravings and addiction.


I wish you success, and appreciate the courage it took for you to reach out here.
