Hi everyone, I decided to quit from porn for good now, but the urges are just unbearable - I can't study, watch videos, read books or any other activities without a sexual desire in mind. Cold shower isn't helping either. What do you do when you feel this way?
stay still or continue doing the activity what i meanis if urge at night and you cant sleep then just stay still and breath out when you have an urge if doing activity such as reading or studying force yourself to stay put (stay seated at desk and study) practice this cus I still am not good at it. also practice saying no internally or shaking your head as a way to shake the thought/urge.
I got some techniques. Do the plank pose like pushups and hold it until urge go away. Also you can stand, sit, or lay on bed and move hips up and hold it there until disappear. Hope that helps.
Ride it out ,it’ll pass. Not everyday is guaranteed to go smooth even when you do everything right but managing it without having to cope through fapping gets much easier the longer you go. The more tough bouts of urges you overcome, the easier it gets to handle the next onset. Taking a day or two off and away from the led screens in our face seems to help too or at least minimizing usage to necessities only, like phone calls. Anything else I’d recommend you probably already know (do more constructive things to keep busy, cold shower/bath, have a consistent daily routine, stay away from sexual stimuli, stand up and walk around until the urges subside, just work through the urges and learn to live with them and not letting them control your life)
Enjoy the sensation honestly, and when I say that I do not mean start masturbating I mean just enjoy the feeling of being horny, study the emotion. Or instead use that energy towards something, like running until you drop. Just do not touch yourself or go on any porn site.
