Get off the internet, or see a doctor

Step 1: Don't look at so much porn.

Step 2: Find a girlfriend who isn't a prude.

Step 3: Live normal male life with a healthy sexual appetite.


Despite going for a doctorate in psychology, pornography addiction is just one of those things that makes me question the whole profession. You don't need to go to therapy because you like naked women. You just need to exercise some self control. Maybe you have a problem with that and your therapist can help you there, but going to a doctor "for a porn addiction" is a cop out and you're not addressing the real problem. Pornography does not form a chemical dependence, you're not going to have withdrawls if you stop looking at it. Unplug the computer for a few days if you have to. Ask your therapist about self-control exercises you can do. Don't hand your self-control over to a misnomer.

Just don't... watch it so much? There's nothing wrong with liking to see naked women heh.

QFT, lol. All you can do, I guess, is go see that therapist. Or you could get some balls and quit without any sort of therapy... For porn.

Or, you know, just get laid more. I don't think you're addicted to porn so much as masturbation, unless you're unable to get off-- Even during intercourse-- without some sort of visual stimulation past the obvious, it's not a porn addiction.

If it is the case that you are addicted to porn, just lock your computer so that only your girlfriend can log on. It's not hard.

Install those porn blocking monitoring software? Install vnc and have a porn buddy that can check on what you're looking at anytime maybe.

There are hobbies and addictions.
Addictions are when you miss school/work/showering.
Hobbies are something you indulge once in a while.

As for any addiction, isn't going cold Turkey the worst way? I thought you have to phase it out.

What are we talking about here? Sneaking mags to work? Looking at porn instead of going out with your buddies/fucking your girlfriend? How does it interfere with your everyday life? Plenty of people look at porn daily - what makes your daily porn consumption an "addiction"? Serious question.

[Yangsing]

I'm trying to grasp this concept porn addiction you have. How much porn do you watch? Do you spend more time looking for then doing anything else irl?

[Epical]

Assuming your girlfriend doesn't feel like being naked for pressured sexually everytime you guys meet up, what is it that you're lacking that you make up in watching porn?

Fill all your lotion bottles with hot sauce or krazy glue.

Oh god I rofl'd

[Maxxthepenguin]

Nobody is going to take you seriously if you don't post what the symptoms of your addiction are.

[Mufferino]

The real question here is, Who here would go ass to mouth for a million bucks. You are catching. Normal sized dude is pitching. (Question was brought up at work today in a very odd conversation)

1. There is nothing wrong with porn.

2. It is very healthy to express sexual exploration in a safe atmosphere.

3. Date someone that isnt a fucking prude. If you cant watch porn with your GF, gtfo.

4. Dont blow money on therapy jsut because you have been brain washed that sex is bad.

The day you realize sex isnt a dirty deed and your not a "sinner" for exploring it, the day your "addiction" goes away. The average man masterbates 2 times a day, thinks about sex every 8 seconds (not every 8 seconds, but the amount of time spent per day divided by the time in day equals about 8 seconds). Releasing this sexual tension in a safe manner is NOT bad, get out of your church a little while and get a GF that is a little more open minded.

BTW are you one of those people that think gay people can be cured through therapy?

i lol'ed

but to be serious its not about sex because well she gives it to me when ever i want and porn isn't just masterbation to me, because 3/4 the time i don't.

I think its because its there on the net i look at it idk, i did get in trouble at work once for it on comp >_> to, even got where it got one point i racked up 400$ worth it in overdrafts.

and i tried cold turkey it only worked for while , even church but seems to be same cycle im going threw D:

[Yangsing]
