discussion How do you moderate your porn consumption?

[User_61141]

easy, not having time, I have so much to do that I barely have time to sleep.
Now if you have the time and easy access to content that you like, why are you worried? go enjoy your life while your dick still works bro

I've tried to quit many times but always failed. Perhaps is it a better goal to just try to moderate it?

What methods or types of thoughts do you practice to moderate the amount of time you spend on porn/visual novels/games?

Do you plan on ever quitting entirely?

why do you want to quit? does it really negatively effect your life? i think everyone has their own level i wouldn't let the guilt consume you though.

Leave your door open. The chance that someone comes by and sees you browsing or wanking it to porn is a good deterrent. Keep at it long enough and you'll develop a habit of not opening your browser and going straight to porn. Set a schedule you're not allowed to look up porn. If you want something more intense then install a website blocker for when you eventually slip up. If you're gooning away and it's having a negative impact on your life, you need to think about seeking professional help.

Instructions unclear. My family is now used to me being a weirdo coomer.

Wait....moderating is an option??

The happier I'm with my life, the less porn I want to watch. I think that's true of everyone. I'm not sure if there's a "healthy" amount of porn you can consume. However you should not carry guilt for consuming porn as there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

The questions should be "How do I enjoy life more". Do I exercise? Do I eat healthy? Do I perform great at my job? As a friend? As a partner? Do people love me? Are my thoughts possitive? How much effort am I putting into things that are worthwhile. I think the more wholesome your life is; the less likely is you'll want to watch porn.

As you have already been told, if it is affecting your life and you are not able to regulate it on your own, the best thing to do is to go to a psychologist.

Best wishes.

[danzerino]

Keep it simple, once every 2 days. Healthy!!

Unless it's actively messing with your life, I don't really see a need, otherwise exercise I've noticed helps since I'm usually too tired at night to bother, also dopamine or something while you exercise idk im not a doctor.

unrelated but what's your pfp from?

Take a parental control software ,type the password (just tape random letters on your keyboard) on the notepad, copy the password on the parental control delete the notepad without saving it. Now you can't watch porn thank to the parental control

Easy. When my wrist hurts, or my skin peels, then it is time for a break.

The pain will keep me in line.

No, I don't ever plan on quitting porn. It comes and goes in waves, sometimes I look at a lot (whatever that is), and sometimes I don't look at it for a long time.

Wait, which hand do you use for head patting again?

As someone who has genionly struggled with porn addiction, to the point that it impacts my actual sex life.. there are actually some very good pieces of advice on this thread.

 

[Deleted member 123057]

being busy with work tends to do that

 

[spartanmnl]

ive tried and failed time and time again now i just embrace the corruption

 

[sullys]

The same way I monitor my alcohol consumption. Do it when it feels good, stop when it stops feeling good.

 

[DadD]

I don't. If my woman away or already pleased and "I have power"... Just do it. I don't see any reason not to.

 

[zakarmmusa832]

During the summer I get so bored that it's basically all I do. Once ski/snowboard season kicks in, I go almost every day, so the motivation goes away. Any time I try to force myself to stop, the denial just turns me on more, a cruel twist of reality.

 

[yesplznothxkk]

I don't, currently unemployed and porn is a stress relief, better than nicotin, sugar or worse - but still quite detrimental, thus the nick. Its probably twisting my perception of what sex is quite a bit, since I get drawn into heavier and heavier kinks, but keeping off real-porn I keep a desperate hope that at some point I'll get a paying job, can start to find a nice girl to have fun with, and maybe shed a bit of my need for porn.
