Try your best to avoid it. I have found my mind to be healthier this way and I see women more for who they are.

Also women see you for who you are. Strange, but it's true. Porn is the damn devil.

Hey! Great job! You're on the road to recovery!!!! Keep it up! :)

I just woke up to the biggest morning wood ever! i was having sex dreams which never happens, this is the first morning wood i have in many many years, the last time i had one i was probably in middle school, i clearly remember not having them in high school.

I am 6 days porn free, i've been doing RKs for over a month now to treat my IKs (they are almost gone), when i touched a sensitive spot of my glans i would get spasms in my PF, i don't get them anymore and i am starting to be able to masturbate without having trouble to imagine situations, when i watched porn i was watching a guy have sex with a girl and when i masturbated without porn that's exactly what i imagined, a guy having sex with a girl while i was watching but now i can see myself having sex with the girl. I am extending and jelqing as well. I love PEGym!

Hey guys!

I am on day 24 of AP90 and day 7 of no fap (doing only 30 days of no fap so i can lose any death grip i may have), the thing is i am facing a flatline, my penis is dead, it looks thinner and flaccid length looks smaller, how am i supposed to jelq like that? is there any way to get around this ? I just hope it does not affect my extender training or current gains :(


the morning woods i was having for the first time in years are also gone

Stick with it bro, everything will normalize within time. If you can't PE right now because of flatline then don't PE until you're rebooted.

You won't lose gains, just EQ if anything, which should come back after reboot.

Just wanted to share this to sort of celebrate it feels amazing. As I noted I had a type of ED induced by having learned to masturbate prone and could not masturbate by hand it also effected me in sex positions I could pretty much only perform in missionary.

Anyway I took the advice given to me by RickBhmcsb to take it easy on the masturbation and start working out. I have done both. It has been 16 days porn and masturbation free. I randomly got horny today and I successfully masturbated to orgasm by hand with no porn. The orgasm was intense. This is very encouraging for me on so many levels. So far it hasn't been an issue not watching porn. When masturbating prone I rarely viewed kind of became more of a crutch to get me masturbating the traditional way as I couldn't with out porn.

Anyway guys thanks for this community and support I actually feel hopeful for my next relationship and future sex life... oh I am also down about 4lbs since starting the exercise as well and I can tell in the mirror. These forums are one of the best things to have happened to me so far in my life!

Well, here I am again. December was rough for me. After 2-3 months of being porn-free, my extreme stress in December led me to go back to my porn addiction. I am now re-starting the AP 90 (Day 2) and feel like I am more ready than ever. I started meditating more which really helps in dealing with emotions. I have porn one last hurrah on Friday night and I have the sites blocked on my phone (Blocksite app). The only workaround I've found is to go on Chrome incognito and look up GIFs on Google. Does anybody know a way to block that also? Cheers and good luck to all in our road to recovery.

Agreed!

Have you noticed any triggers that cause you to relapse? For me it seems that if I drink or smoke weed the odds of looking at porn and fapping increase exponentially.

For me, I think the biggest ones are stress and easy availability on my phone/laptop. Plus, I only see my girlfriend once every 2-3 weeks so I have to use a lot of imagination for my masturbation sessions. In the past, I have gone 5-7 days without shooting my load. I read several sources which say men should be releasing their load every 3-4 days max to avoid prostate issues.

I've noticed no one has posted any updates on the kicking the porn habit. How's everyone doing in that area? I'm here to encourage when needed.

Thanks for checking in!

March was very hard for me and I partially relapsed. I was watching small snippets of porn every other day but not masturbating to it, so there's that.
April was much better but still rough.

I realized that certain websites would have ads that would trigger me to think about porn.
I have since blocked said websites and am implementing meditation to keep my mind focused and my spirit centered.

Any advice?

Sounds like you're still on the right track. Addicting habits are hard to break especially when the temptation is right in front of you. Maybe take a break from whatever device you're using the most. Here lately I've been taking periodic breaks from social media plus I do take breaks from this site as well. Apologies to Big Al. :) You need that "down time" to refocus.

"When you characterize porn as an addiction it tells you that it is hard to break free, that it is a struggle, that relapse is inevitable — all things that have nothing to do with porn. But when you characterize online porn as junk food, the solution is obvious: don’t eat it." –The Last Psychiatrist

I did 45 days porn free (it was super hard), relapsed, after a while i did 20 days but forced myself to relapse because i needed to know if i was going through a flatline or finasteride sides, even though i relapsed i was not enjoying as much as i used to, probably because i see it as a problem now, currently 8 days porn free and 4 days of no fap ( i will be doing only 30 days of no fap).

The hardest part is rewiring your brain. It misses the visual stimulation watching porn provides. The porn industry knows this better than anybody. The old line "sex sells" is still very true. Getting your brain to kick the habit probably does take the entire 90 days. Personally I think going without masturbating 30 days is way too long. Going two weeks without it would be an easier and more attainable goal. When you do masturbate, do it without the porn! In fact do what I do. I use masturbation as a form of relaxation.

Just did 35 days porn free and relapsed 6 days ago and i've been watching porn every day since then, the main reason for my relapse was because my dick "died" after the first 7 days and was still dead until i relapsed, i am taking finasteride for my hair so i wanted to be sure that the reason my dick was so unresponsive was because of a flatline and not because of the medicine, of course i could have watched just for one day and get my answer but i kept watching until today, so it seems like when i stop watching porn i get one hell of a flatline, i don't see this as a huge step back since it was much easier to do this 35 days then the first time i did 45 days.

Its been a few hours since i watched porn and my head is still weird, that feeling flooding my brain, this sucks, but i am confident that i will now get to a new streak, 60 days, the only problem is the flatline since it makes me feel nothing, no sexual desire at all, i get bored just by the though of masturbating, hopefully i might get to 90 days porn free but i will set one goal that i am sure i can achieve so i don't get frustrated.

I'm a bit over 90 days no porn and honestly it is fantastic. It definitely changed my interactions with females and how I actually view females (not as just sex objects, if that makes sense).
