why not? just put the key in a place that's hard to reach and you won't have a desire to jack off.

I'm in the early phases of my journey, I've been addicted to pornography since I was around 12. I can't remember specifically. I haven't gone longer than a week without masturbating since I first started, I'm now 29 years old. I have been a daily masturbator, often times twice a day, for over a decade now. I genuinely do not remember life without masturbation.

I have adopted a few different behaviors, but the biggest contributor has been limiting when I'm allowed to masturbate and how. Don't count days or set time-based goals. All that will do is train your brain to be rewarded differently. It's important to remember that masturbation and porn addiction generates positive activity in EVERY SINGLE PORTION OF THE BRAIN. That's right, your entire brain lights up with happiness when you masturbate. This makes it argubaly the single most addictive behavior possible. There isn't a single substance that emulates the same effect.

This is because sex is the base purpose of existence. Our bodies have reached the point they have because of natural selection, and natural selection is determined entirely by who is the best at making babies. Since our brains are wired to desire sex and be rewarded by sex as much as possible, masturbation and porn consumption trigger the most significant hormone responses our brain has to offer. understanding that you aren't fighting discipline, you're fighting reward, makes things a little easier to manage.

Here's my process
>masturbation can only happen after 9:00pm
>I can only masturbate standing in front of my toilet
>I can only use my phone as my source for porn, no audio allowed
>if I desire masturbation I stop doing whatever I am doing and sit there for 30-60 seconds allow the "desire wave" to hit me and pass
>if the desire is still there, I tell myself I can masturbate at 9:00pm until the desire fades away
>cut PC usage down, prioritizing hobbies, book reading, or TV over my PC

It's also very important to understand how your brain generates and uses dopamine. Your body produces almost all of its dopamine overnight while you sleep. Think of it like a fuel tank. You fall asleep and your brain goes to the gas station and fills up. When you do something during the day that's positive, your brain pushes the gas pedal and uses some dopamine. It does this until the dopamine tank is empty. Once it is empty, your brain cannot push the gas pedal anymore until the next day. If you use up your dopamine on masturbation in the morning or during the day, your brain is unable to relate positive rewards to productivity and hobbies. It wastes the whole fuel tank on masturbation too early and has nothing else to use. This causes a positive feedback loop for masturbation exclusively, and a negative feedback loop for everything else. This is why chronic masturbators rely on substances like marijuana, as it simulates dopamine release and allows you to make up for the lack of dopamine that prevents you from enjoying your hobbies.

So start with limiting your masturbation to night time only, then limit HOW you get to masturbate, and eventually your brain will stop feeling so excited about it.

I also recommend buying an onahole or fleshlight. They're much lighter pressure and don't provide as much stimulation. This both limits how much reward you get WHILE masturbating, and helps you reverse deathgrip over time.

work and find hobbies that keep your mind busy most of the time, so you won't have free time all day to watch porn

Stop being Indian, or as a Christian recognize that having a libido is normal.
Seriously, tired of how these weepy fags handwring about porn constantly. If it bothers you no one is forcing you to consume it. I read porn/masturbate like 3 times a year tops and have gone years without doing it, my life isn't any better or worse for it. Stop getting your worldview from guilty thirdies and religious people who think tuching your peepee is bad because it's not grindset or trad enough.

This is a moronic reply. There's a massive difference between occasional porn use and porn addiction. Porn addiction can derail someone's life and cause arrested development.

There's no empirical evidence that porn addiction is real that isn't pushed by Mormons or Christians, and even then the most damning finding is "religious people feel guilty about it :<," not that it's objectively bad, addictive, or harmful. The internet was better before losers like you started using it.

I never thought about this but I get the idea
if you're quitting porn it means that you believe there's a chance you'll get laid
so you might as well resensitize your penis as you go
