discussion How do you moderate your porn consumption?

[master cruss]

Sort answer nope

 

[MajinGuu]

I'm on a niche of a niche porn forum, man. There is no moderation lmao

 

[Jubjub]

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?

I don't need to. It doesn't interfere in my life at all and I rarely ever consume it. There are only a few games on these types of sites that I actually enjoy and it's mostly because of their gameplay. They could dump the porn parts and I'd still play them.

using my time for other things like exercise or other hobbies helps

Porn is bad, period! It gradually destroys your dopamine system and causing permanent damage to you brain, it makes you weak, sad etc. also those "depression waves" are caused by consuming too much porn.
In fact it may and will damage your brain if you've been on it for too long. half a year is enough for permanent changes in your brain, studies show that watching porn regularly will rewire your brain and lower your IQ significantly. That's why you make dumb decisions when horny. Also all those weird porn kinks or fetishes are poisoning, corrupting and destroying you from within

This is what every human being has to do, healthy soul, body and mind are gifts to be nurtured and cherished

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

...to handhold haha

creating a new different habit

a healthy habit*

psychologist

psychology is a pseudoscience, just like horoscopes, numerology and other charlatan's shit. don't let them milk you, they just prescribe drugs, that will turn you into a vegetable robot and steal your money!

Pornography is associated with addiction due to the endorphin (raising serotonin/dopamine) generated in the moment. It's an addiction because you start to feel that what you already consume is not enough and you look for other alternatives, other games, other themes.

I heard pornography is a weapon of war, there were certain evens in wars when enemies occupied TV towers and started broadcasting porn on all channels, the occupied population was exposed/forced to watch porn and in short period of time the people had no resistance or moral values under such suppression. 21st century where porn is completely legal and available to everyone, including the young generations, no wonder why is everyone so depressed and sick nowadays

In my case, I spend energy doing some sports, hiking to waterfalls or going to the beach, and having dates/sex IRL.

Touching grass is a great advice!

lesbian lolis

are the best, i don't consider them as porn, it's just kawaii overload haha

Why would I want to do that?

Because!

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.

I think if someone's mind is completely poisoned by porn, there's no hope in curing them, they will eventually get back to it. It's like drugs: alcohol and tabak, they consume it regularly without even thinking, and saying "iM nOt aDdIcTeD"

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.

There is everything wrong with it!
Sex = Masturbation = Heart attack = Death
Sex may kill you. Do you know what the human body goes through when you have sex? Pupils dilate, arteries constrict, core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets, respiration becomes rapid and shallow, the brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere, and secretions spit out of every gland, and the muscles tense and spasm like you're lifting three times your body weight. It's violent. It's ugly. And it's messy. And if evolution hadn't made it fun, the human race would have died out eons ago.

Porn is literally chronic masturbation, which means you're running out of protein (sperm), and your body's working hard to replenish your depleted "energy", that's why most porn-watchers look so worn out haha

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

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

If you can't control your actions then it's pointless to have "restrictions" like this, you will steal stranger's phone and here we go again

I don't, currently unemployed and porn is a stress relief, better than nicotin, sugar or worse

Porn, nicotin, alcohol and other drugs are worst of the worst. The most dangerous drugs are already legal. You better get out of this toxic and poisonous loop of addictions of yours

Getting myself to ejaculate as quickly as I can usually helps to end porn sessions faster so less time spent with porn that way.

It's still bad, you could've spent this time and energy on productive things. I heard young people waste over 1/4 of free time on porn and other dangerous and harmful addictions

Work, household chores, hobbies, reading books, watching regular movies all impose certain limitations.

This!
And the best advice is just "DON'T DO PORN" period! Quit and never come back!

gaming

I wouldn't recommend gaming, because it's another addiction with the same consequences

there's only 24 hours in day, so the clock pretty much limits how many hours in a day that can be used

Every day is worth as any other. What I did or didn't do doesn't not change its worth. Wasting it on porn is the worst!

How long have you been clean from porn?

 

[MattShizzle]

I don't. It's not really much of my time, anyway.

 

[Vindex Indomitabilis]

I only leave it for my weekend off work. once or twice a week is what I try to shoot for.

 

[BS3DX]

moderate? I don't. I am an artist even if retired (burned out), I still make porn from time to time.

 

[smite22]

Hmmm... how do I moderate it???? When I'm caught up with the new updates on stories I follow and nothing new looks interesting I look for something else to do.

 

[SupreTiso]

I play those games once in a while

 

[watsonjohn]

By praying to God and slapping my dick for being a sinner.

 

[Magooo]

I don't. It is physical pain that forces me to take a break.

 

[orphan]

My needs aren't very strong so it's fine for me to do it every 2/3 days

 

[famkam1111]

I am a very horny dude but I try to limit it 2 times a week

 

[Bernardo80]

Pop til you drop

 

[scmuk]

Moderate!!????!!! I am not sure I could moderate myself.

[dedekay456]

Feel like there is quite a bit of good advice in here.
I'd be lying if I'd say I am always on top of it. Same as watching tiktok, youtube etc. For me it helps to do other things: spending time with friends, work, family and hobbies.

Yup, spend more time reading *about* it than consuming it. I also find live action stuff depressing since I admitted to exploiting damaged goods for my entertainment.
