ITT guilty fapper syndrome jackoffs and their performative penance.
For whatever background reason these types fake or feel guilty after porn or after masturbation. That feeling of shame, that they were doing something wrong that they shouldn't be doing, something bad, it adds to their arousal, makes for a stronger orgasm. Thus they keep telling themselves it's wrong, trying to "quit it", going without for weeks, months at a time, deleting the porn collection they built up over a year only so they can feel extra ashamed and thus extra aroused -an even greater orgasm/release- when they inevitably relapse and start the process all over again.
It's the same whether they feel guilty about porn/masturbation in general or specific types of porn whether it's gay porn, fart porn, ntr porn etc.

Years ago, I quit all porn for three months at my therapist's recommendation. I had a girlfriend at the time and my habits were making our sex life unsatisfying for her. During my period of abstinence, our intimacy became more frequent and fulfilling... for her. To me, it was incredibly boring, even though we were pretty freaky. Once that 90 days was up I went right back to my laptop when she wasn't around and the dopamine kick was incredible. We split up years ago. She's now happily married and I'm lonely as fuck. The thing is, I don't think happiness with another person is in the cards for me. Neither is happiness being alone lol. Don't get me wrong. Sex with another person can be the most wonderful thing. But when it comes to living life with them every day and not allowing yourself certain vices that really do it for you, is that the right way to go? I don't know. Even when it comes to simply hooking up for sex, porn addiction can make that quite difficult. I've had many encounters over decades where my equipment didn't work properly and we were both left frustrated (and humiliated). I'm sure I am addicted to porn. It may be accurate to call it a crippling addiction. Do I want to get away from it? Not really. Because I'm a fucking addict. The reason I'm going on about all of this is to give you some insight as to what your future may be like if you don't do all you can to get things under control. Younger people who have had access to internet porn their entire life are up against something they can barely comprehend and I'm actually concerned for them. Best of luck.

Masturbating could also be seen as a habit. If you really wanna make your mind think bad about it passively just do some bad harmless habit as you feel the need to touch yourself.
I know a guy who slapped his butt with great force every time he touched his pp and after a while he cured from his 2 year fap streak.
I personally start reading and responding to threads on this site knowing very well I will quit before getting member+

I've tried to stop many times and also feel like I have no control. I tried different methods : self-promises, waiting at least 10 minutes, blocking the websites on my PC. In a relapse at the moment. Next time will be the One, as they say. I haven't fully lost hope, but it's such a strong coping mechanism for stress. I'm elsewhere when I consume; just worry free.

i quite long time ago and i wont lie, its difficult, but when you experience sex that change everything, and when you stop jerking off the next time you'll do it it would be so great.
its bad to look at porn 24/7 but if its only few time then nothing bad happen, you can do it mate!

Your best bet for the short term is to keep yourself occupied. When I want to jerk it, it's usually out of some combination of boredom and lust. When I'm on vacation, I can go weeks without any desire for porn. I'm just too busy doing fun stuff to bother with a 15 minute wank. I don't feel lustful, I don't feel bored, just too damn busy enjoying life. The key is that when you're bored, have something else to do other than masturbation. You don't want your first thoughts to be porn. Go outside and get some sunshine and exercise.
You might also not need to quit completely since you could gain some benefit from just reducing your consumption. It's pretty difficult to do when you're single, but not impossible. A once a week quickie using only your imagination will keep your lust in check. After that, go about your day as usual, just don't be tempted beyond that one time per week.

The analogy that I’ve used. Imagine there is a magical device that a carpenter uses. It can be any carpentry tool whenever he needs it, and it makes the act of woodworking seem less. This device also has the ability to become a flask that is always full. This carpenter starts by taking a few sips every once in a while. But over a few years he is a full blown alcoholic. His life falls apart he loses his marriage his home his job. But he still has this little magical device that he keeps sipping on, feeding his addiction. People tell him to throw away the device, but he argues that is just so convenient and amazing. If he ever gets his life on track he might need this device to become a carpenter again. Meanwhile his body degrades. You would never ask an alcoholic to try to get sober while he has a full flask of whiskey in his pocket. You tell him to throw out the flask. This goes especially if you have an addictive personality. You cannot expect of yourself to overcome an addiction that you literally have access to in your pocket. That’s unfair to yourself. Get a dumb phone, get rid of your computer, and if your work necessitates you have constant access to those, than if possible, get a different job. You have one life on this planet, and I promise, speaking from experience, life is always better when you are free of your addictions. And it is damn worth it, To free yourself from whatever is preventing you from being okay. Whatever the cost. Pay it.

u should also be aware that ur gonna watch porn again... i mean ur gonna slip up and watch smth, and thats ok, theres no reason to beat yourself up about it, feel bad for a bit then pick yourself back up and continue. the reason i say this is cause porn addiction is bad and extremely hard to get rid of, slipping up doesnt undo the progress u made, its a small setback. its like gym, stay consistent and disciplined, but missing one or two workouts doesnt push u back to the start. make up for those lost workouts and keep going. same w this, ur gonna slip up, but u lasted a week, u can do a week and a day atleast next. stay disciplined, stay consistent and good luck

It is a struggle, but one worth fighting! Nice to see a thread like this here with people being supportive. Shows a lot of us want to take that step but are at different phases of our journey. It definitely comes in phases, but the best advice I know is to keep yourself busy in good things. Find ways to get out and be around people more, find some self improving hobby like exercise, etc. And make it harder to access your addiction locations and tools. And when you slip up note the triumphs along the way and try again, slightly increasing your goals with time. Wishing you the best and anyone else trying to break the chains of addiction!
