    The secret is to find out what gap in your life you're trying to fill with porn and work on that (with help of a therapist if needed). If you are overall happier with your life there will be less temptation to resort to porn.

    Furthermore it helps to read about mindfulness and practice meditation. Especially useful when you experience those acute cravings.

    Last but not least: it also helps to be really fed up with porn (addiction). You need to have reached that rock bottom level.

    I agree counselling has helped me, but also finding that something to fill the void. If you have something to distract you from the porn you willl be able to attend to that when cravings arise. Coming here daily even it is just to check alerts has also helped me. Earlier in the day the better
     

  4. Quitting porn is for every one of us a different thing. Some suffocate cravings, some substitute cravings, some live their cravings.

    You'll find here tons of ideas and recipes.

    But one thing that applies to all of us:

    Porn doesn't love you. Porn gives a dammed shit what will happen to you. So either you kill porn or porn will kill you.

    When I started to realize this it made 'click' though I have to confess it took maybe 1 year that this 'click' really started to kick in.

    And when you start going on no PMO you are basically making self experiments with what works and what doesn't work. In this sense relapses are almost unavoidable showing a failed experiment. But if you really want to quit you will find the formula and continue trying to find a new recipe which works for you.

    My recipe to quit porn was not to escape involuntary arousal (erection) but rather try to savor the feeling without touching to masturbate. This seems to give my body the stuff I need whatever this is. Maybe dopamine.
    I observed my body reactions almost clinically and it seems that erections/urges are especially at the beginning very frequent. But I noticed (and this might sound to you as complete nonsense) that erections coming from your body have a different quality than erections induced by porn. They feel more vivid, vibrant and rewarding even if you don't ejaculate. And after a while I could use this stimulation as a substitute for PMO. Where is the difference? It is not compulsive any more. You need to wait for it and you don't know how long it lasts but it is always longer and more rewarding as the few seconds you get with masturbating while watching porn.

    Good luck!

  5. I agree with @Jazzmusician, I am facing the same problem. It's really getting bad, yet there should be that kind of strategy to help us get in progress. So even hopelessly, never give up and you shall make it.

    Very funny, I had been trying to quit porn for a long time, but the willpower just not strong enough, like you. I feel that it is a routine for me already. Then one day, I went to a massage parlour after dinner, when the masseur touched my dick, there's total no respond. I felt embarrassed, but scared more. I am young, but have an ED!!??

    Then I research about ED and porn, which is very related. This is a brutal honest truth. I am young and have Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction. Want to have a hard erection dick? I HAVE to QUIT PORN!!!!

    Today I read an article on internet, it is about an overweight man losing 240 pounds!!! Again, the same thing, he was being brutal honest with himself. If he didn't lose weight, he will die. Want to live longer? He HAD to START EXERCISE and LOSE WEIGHT!!!!

    You can read the article on here https://www.goalcast.com/2018/08/17/zach-vogler-weight-loss-story/

    You already porn is really bad for you, but you cannot change it no matter how hard you try. Maybe you haven't experience any life threatening experience like me, or like the once overweight dude. (I consider ED a life threatening experience for me, because I cannot have a baby if my condition continue). Only until then you have the strongest will to change.
     
  7. Don't judge, I am personally facing a very bad health because of failing to nofap :) and i tried all strategies that came to my mind but nothing helped. Willpower is dead and in a hopeless situation but only faith.

    do I understand right: you wait for an eretcion and you savor it but you don`t masturbate? My problem is that if I see a woman on the street she triggers me so hard that I have to go to masturbate. Than this leads me again to PMO.
     
  10. Male erections seem to follow a rythm if you just let it happen without trigger. Most men have one in the morning which seems to be in our program like a function check before a plane takes off. And then one some time around noon. In the morning I just lay on the bed and literally let it happen. At the beginning of nofap it was still short and weak but already after on week of no PMO it is a very pleasant and fulfilling feeling similar to the moment just a second before ejaculation but muuuuuuch longer sometimes up to 40 minutes. Thereafter I am most of the day's pretty calm.

    I support this with drinking soy milk which lowers the testosterone level. So far my difficult days have been a day after not drinking it.

    I understand what you say about looking at women. Hard to give good advice. I just wonder that you have the time during the day to go somewhere to jerk off. I'd say just try to avoid to go to a place where you can do it.
