Find out the root cause - you are totally wowed by the female form. That can go too far when you see photos as objects. If you had an incredible girlfriend, you would probably not lose interest.
On the other hand, a lot of the porn industry is about domination and physical abuse. That leads to some awful stuff. Jeffrey Dahmer, the guy who would have homo boyfriends over, kill them and eat them, said it all started with an unhealthy interest in porn.
You need to figure out where you are going with it. If you are truly amazed by the female form, make sure you see the real thing as often as possible. If the real thing isn't doing it for you, you need to get away from it cold turkey as fast as you can.

According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. Adrenaline is one sure way to do this. If looking causes you to get an adrenaline spurt, or an orgasm, then low blood sugar is probably the cause of why you are feeling addicted.
Suggestion? Put off looking for 30 minutes the next time you feel the need. Go to the kitchen and get some protein, meat, a can of tuna (salmon is better) or whatever, and eat it. Also have some carbohydrate, like a handful of chips, an apple, or some carrots/celery, and also some nuts or peanut butter. Eat at least 2 ounces of the protein. Then drink a glass of water and do something else, preferably exercising, for 30 minutes. You may find your need to look has lessened a bit.
Chronic low blood sugar can also cause self-esteem problems, anger management problems and a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out.

You need to replace it with a healthy addiction. What do else do you enjoy in life? Hiking, surfing, collecting something, making something?
About a year after my marriage split up, I discovered telephone dating lines and I went crazy. I got so much attention from men and met 25 people in one month. I was going out at all times of the night and friends were starting to worry about me because I was taking so many risks. I was so addicted that I would be talking to guys until 4 in the morning and then had to go to work. I also ran up a $200 phone bill!
To break my addiction, I signed up for a marathon and started training for it. I had to run so much, that I didn't have time to talk on the phone all the time and to go out on so many dates. I've always been addicted to running, but it keeps me healthy.
(By the way, if you should want to train for a marathon, feel free to email for tips - I have done 20 of them.)
Good Luck and know that there are people out here rooting for you!

Put your computer in the living room where there are other people like your parents or sister or brother, then you cant really have the chance to watch it. This will work.
At the same time I should say that some guys including me, are very horny and they get excited very easily and thats why they need to turn themeselves off by masterbating or having sex.
Sometimes resisting is worse and you just need to release that energy as soon as possible (before going and checking for the porn websites)
A statistic in England shows that more than half of couples of england visit porn web sites or watch porno movies.

I don't think turning off your Internet is practical this day and age. Install Norton Security and put in the parental controls. Also, you'll need to get professional counseling. You're not going to be able to fight this addiction (or any addiction, for that matter) alone. Don't be embarrassed about going to counseling. Even Oprah has done a show on this and got such overwhelming response, that she had to do a followup show. There is help for you if you seek it.

Here's a link to a forum that is very helpful. It's a community of people who have the same problem who support one another. There are also some examples of gameplans for how people overcome this.

You might also get some counseling, either group or individual. There are a lot of groups for people with this issue. One is Sex Addicts Anonymous.
http://www.sexaa.org
You could get some individual counseling. People who have a problem with pornography typically use it self-medicate or soothe other emotional problems. As a result, most people who have PA also have problems with things such as anxiety, depression, loneliness and personality disorders. A counselor could help you with all of this.
Take it one day at a time. I'll say a prayer for you.

I strongly believe that many people have this problem. If you are a part of the problem, you are also a part of the solution. So you yourself are the answer. If I were you, I would not drop out of the subscription. I would face the problem and take up a hobby if possible an out door one. You should try to spend more time with friends or doing sports. I think you are strong enough to overcome this. Believe in yourself. You can do this.

instead of watching porn... just workout. do sit-ups, jog, and stay outside, or go to the beach and play volleyball or go find people who are playing a sport outside and join. go for a walk... go swimming. get a part-time job if you are already working a full-time, cause it looks like you might have more time on your hands, and you need to fill up that time with something productive.
if you're young... you don't know what you're missing... there are so many things you can do... get a job and raise money for later on in life... invest even. there was once this 14 year old who bought some wells fargo stock online with 1,000 bucks that his dad gave him... in a couple of months it became like 15,000 bucks. see. go read, learn something new. but whatever you do, do it wisely... good luck!

I agree, you need to get rid of the internet, it makes it too easy. Limewire, or just searching yahoo without safe search, it's too much temptation. Just like an alcoholic needs to stay away from bars, you need to stay away from your sources. Internet, strip clubs, porn stores, off limits. Can you imagine how unsuccessful an alcoholic would be if he had a fully stocked bar and a bartender on staff 24/7 in his living room?

Every time that you find yourself going to look at porn, force yourself to do some thing that is so difficult for you that it requires your total concentration. It won't be easy at first, but as time goes by you will find yourself thinking less about the porn.
Another option is to have someone take your computer for awhile. Or have them block the sites with a password known only to them.
