    I have nothing to do right now, and got bored of playing a video game, and felt a temptation to reset. And I realized, it's not that I am feeling horny, it's that I have nothing to do!

    That being said, it's much easier to resist when the urge comes from boredom, so I am happy for that.

    It's really easy to think about porn when you are bored. Why don't you try going to the gym? That's what I did and trust me you'll feel too tired to even try to watch porn.

    You shouldn't find yourself in that state. Spend some time coming up with things to keep you occupied when you find yourself in a state of boredom.

    Agreed, get out and enjoy nature or meet up with a friend. Fresh air will do you good.
     
  5. Doing some exercise or going outdoors is good like others have said. For those times like later at night when I'm bored and restless I find doing some challenging intellectual activity helps. Say like playing a complicated strategy game, or doing a difficult crossword puzzle, or reading a dense novel.

    Another option I've found is to meditate, because being occasionally bored while you meditate is expected as part of the process, so at least you're getting something positive out of it. And often the boredom kind of leaves as you settle into the rhythm of it.
