    I have such a question, only 1 time I was so long without masturbation earlier times were up to 3 weeks, only this stage without pornography and masturbation is another previous times were very strong pressure on masturbation and pornography, but in this I do not have pressure I do not even feel like sex only do not know if depression such as it looks like with discontinuation miserable or other substances, may be the result of starvation from porn, these symptoms began somewhere 3 weeks ago.
     
  2. I have felt this myself before. I think it can be a kind of withdrawal symptom. It's not enough just to stop the porn/masturbation. You need to fill the 'holes' left with positive actions for your life. It's not just about stopping, it's about changing your behavior.

    So maybe spend some time reflecting on what's important to you, in the long run, and get involved in some personal development work. This can be anything from expressing yourself creatively somehow, or getting involved in a social cause, or taking on a challenging exercise program, or studying some new subject, etc.

    I think it’s not having much to do with the free time that comes without porn. Porn has been a part of you for such a long time. It’s like a break up and your body may be reacting to it that way.

    Hang in there! You don’t need porn to be happy!
