I've watched porn a lot in my days and I've never had a problem getting it up when I'm with a woman. Some of this sounds about right but much sounds like bullshit.

Whether or not you believe this stuff, its pretty easy to test it yourself as long as youve got a bit of willpower, or you arent addicted to porn

Well then again you don't have a PhD and have done multiple intensive studies on this (I know there are studies saying the exact opposite) but we are just people, we have to trust what people say and choose which side we would agree with after doing personal careful and unbiased research to both sides of the argument.

But I'm still confused what's going on. I've watched all the movies and read all over the site. Still not get it.

40 hours in.

Oh god I feel like I need to touch my willy.

I can't concentrate no more.

30 hours here.

[ica|kvantum]

Well, I will not give up my porn but I can cut down to 1-2 days a week as a start. Won't be the biggest change but I'll see how I feel.

[Disseminate]

I'm at about 30 hours as well - and I have to go to work in an hour. It's manual labor, so I'll be able to get through it with any luck.

[Gareth]

might do this, i noticed i used to get a lot more action with girls before i was fapping everyday. I guess i'm just no longer horny enough to deal with all the bullshit that women give you in life haha

[Chopstick]

I don't use porn daily so I guess I'm not addicted? To be honest I doubt I will receive any benefits except maybe 30 free minutes where I'm not acting suspicious for one day in a week - here goes. I am already 3 days since last porn.

[SCopE5000]

Cool theory.

Bahaha exactly

Yeah hopefully I'll feel more obligated to pick up a girl to satisfy me instead of going home to porn every night

[a dumb bear]

hahhahaha good joke

[ica|kvantum]

Well giving it a new try, was kind a joke the first time    So I hope I get away from the fail list   

Wow, can't believe it. I've deleted all my porn, 140gb, gone.

[Pnukup]

Alright I guess I'll try it out.

[Centralia]

Count me in, but I'm doing it for my own specific personal reasons and not for anything else.

[cccritical]

24 hours down

[wootmonster]

I could easily go for more than two weeks without masturbating or watching porn before I began this reboot. So I don't think I really was an addict in the first place, because after a week now I feel no need to watch any porn or anything.

[Cpt_Volto]

I'm in.
Anyone know of a way to disable Google Chrome's Incognito mode? Temptation is a bitch.

[Hardpoint Nomad]

I'm in.

Haven't fapped in 3 days. Lots of pent up desires. MUST FIGHT IT.

[Coolboy]

Some kind of ranking in the OP for the people who try would be cool.
(1 day 2 days 1 week 2 weeks... You get the idea)
Would consume much time thought.

The best advice I can give to resist is to just do something. Schoolwork, video games, a hobby, friends, whatever, you know?

[RopaDope]

So can I still have sex?

[Bat-shit]

I guess this is it; no porn of any kind ever again.

Inb4 porn industry collapses.

[RopaDope]

also working out really kills your sex drive. So when you think you cant take it anymore do pushups or run until it dies down.

automegre

[DeadKiller987]

I am attempting this as well. Count me in.
I'm mostly trying this because of the major time waster watching porn has become. I sometimes do nothing but jack off for like 6 hours straight. Not good.

Maybe if you don't regularly workout. The testosterone boost from regular workout would increase libido overall. But, yeah you could do something exhausting to simmer down

Hoyl shit that is a lot of time, good on you

[Wolfie13]

This guy's medical specialization is Medical Massage. (Yeah, it's him, address matches WHOIS record)

He's neither a neuroscientist, nor has he studied psychology or psychiatry.

[Kabstrac]

Hmm, I also found an interesting thing

http://www.amazon.com/Cupids-Poisone...N%3D1556438095


The author of this book is married to Gary Wilson
"With her husband Gary Wilson, who taught anatomy and physiology for years and is a neuroscience enthusiast,"



Again, I'm still gonna continue this regardless of his classifications, as I feel life without all this porn is better for me and could probably help with relationships.

A few things to consider for everyone in the thread/ taking up the challenge:-

If you're still craving for porn after not masturbating for a while, did you really fix anything?

If you're still craving for beer for years after 'beating alcoholism', did you really fix anything?

If you're still craving for cake after not being a fatty, did you really fix anything?

[rosthouse]

I'm going to try as well. I have no idea if I'll succed, but it won't kill me and the benefits seem huge.

I haven't fapped for about 24 hours already so I'm of to a good start vv

With perseverence you can change your brain addictions, unless it's pathological, such as obesity that runs by genes.

Alcohol and porn aren't pathologic. You just have an increased expression of dopamine receptors on your nerve endings, so you always need more and more stimulus to get excited and to relieve cravings.

It then starts to ge physiological. And it's really hard to stop, like in the case of using heroin, as an example, bear in mind.

Edit:

Don't compare heroin to porn, it was an example. All I'm saying is that if you crave porn/masturbation 1 time a week it's okay. Daily it's already pushing the limit, go work out.

Edit:

Dumbed the explication down for people to understand. I'm an actual medical student.

[The First 11'er]

Porn isn't hard to quit. I just picture previous sexual situations that happened in real life. [strike]I'll start on friday because I'll be high as fuck.[/strike]

Scratch that, just jacked off. Now I begin. Put me down. No masturbation or anything.

Thanks for the information

[Teh Soviet]

Oh god. I kept all my porn pics right in my downloads folder, had to wander through and selectively control click each one in order to delete them, t'was like walking on a minefield.

[mobrockers2]

Survived day one!

Oh man, OP sure has conned him some grade A suckers.

You can drop addictions authentically and permanently in a second if you figure out causality.

That's why I advocate that instead of putting huge amounts of effort into what amounts to nothing more than covering up symptoms.

[iggy650]

This is actually true. Whenever I whack it the next day I am tired and can't concentrate as well.
