Help! I am addicted to porn?

Question

For some reasons, i can't stop watching porn ever night. How can i stop !

Answer 1

Just stop. Do something else instead.

Answer 2

Is is easy to say "I'm addicted." That transfers the blame for unacceptable behavior to a disease and absolves you of the responsibility of doing what you have to do.

The ability to chose belongs to humans alone. No other animal can actually make a decision.

Decide you are not going to watch it on Tues and Thurs. Get a good book (non-porn) and read it on those nights. Later add another night or two to your book reading. If you would rather, volunteer to help some elderly people or do something else productive on those days.

Answer 3

First of all, the fact that you're trying to avoid it is a very good first step. Here are some tips from wikihow.com:

1. Think carefully about why you want to avoid it. Having a strong reason for avoiding it is a great help. If possible, make a list of reasons why you want to avoid porn, with the strongest reasons at the top, and review it every morning and every night. (You can have it in a Microsoft Word file, password protected.) It is important for you to make the decision that it is bad for you, not your partner or anyone else.
2. Promise yourself (and someone else, for more safety) that you will never watch pornography.
3. Get rid of everything in your possession that is even remotely related to porn. Do not keep anything at all. If you have bookmarks to porn sites, delete them. If you are a member of a porn site, resign your membership. It goes without saying that you shouldn't rent pornographic videos or DVD's, or buy or read pornographic magazines. Bin your webcam if you use it for porn.
4. Don't spend lonely lazy nights zapping between TV channels, or you may break your promise. Try to go to bed at the same time as the rest of the family, or earlier.
5. Try not to be alone in a room with the computer while connected to the Internet. Plan how much time you will use the Internet, and for what purpose. Follow your own guidelines. And remember, having broadband access doesn't force you to use the Internet all day long!
6. Before you go on the internet, make a list (on paper) of the things you wish to do on the internet, work your way through the list and then log off! Move straight away from the computer and do something else.
7. Do physical exercise and look for a hobby or activity that suits your interests and likes.
8. Don't fool yourself! Keep your promise, and think about the benefits it has brought and will keep bringing to you.

# Internet Tasks to Help:

1. Install a new browser instead of Internet Explorer. Firefox and Opera are popular choices. Browsers by Mozilla offer additional security by the installation and use of add-ons (ie: extensions). If additional security is desired, be careful to only select well-established extensions that block specific web addresses, ads, script, and Flash files. The FoxFilter add-on can block porn sites and prevent its own un-installation. Get your partner to set a secret password (see external links below).
2. Install software to filter web page content such as pornography (see external links below). It will help to protect you from stumbling into pornography by accident. That's important. If you are tech-savvy you can edit your hosts file to block your common haunts.
3. Do not guess web site addresses. Many pornographic sites have similar addresses of respectable sites. For example: www.whitehouse .com is a porn site. The real address is www.whitehouse .gov. Use a search engine instead.
4. Do not follow links in e-mail that is unsolicited. If it is a link you want to visit, copy and paste it into a browser instead of clicking on it. Often spam and phishing e-mail (Identify-and-Resist-Phishing-Bait) will hide script behind their links.
5. Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mails. To secure against pop-ups and other bad scripts, use a free web-based e-mail service to complete on-line registrations.
6. Use filtered search engines or reputable directories to find the information you need.
7. Do not search for ambiguous terms such as "girls" or "pump". Think carefully before submitting a search.
8. Keep software updated. Make sure the operating system and its software are up-to-date. Either schedule automatic updates, or perform updates and search for patches manually, on a regular basis.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I have done a lot of research on this topic.
You are addicted to porn if:
-- you lose sleep because you stay up all night looking at it
-- you avoid human relationships in favor of sexual fantasy with pornography
-- you spend uncontrollable amounts of money on porn
You are not addicted, but merely are a responsible adult user of porn, I repeat, a user of porn, if:
- you enjoy porn but it does not interefere with your sleep or your family or personal life in any way
-- you enjoy human relationships and do not place porn above that
- you are in control of the money you spend on this rather embarrasing "hobby"
There, I hope that helped.

Answer 5

Get some change in your life. When you have more important things to do you won't have time for that. Or else you can wait until you just get tired of it and you don't feel you're getting anything from it. The main thing is you'll start developing other habits and you won't miss it.

Answer 6

Shame to say I have been there. Cold turkey and pick up a different hobby that doesn't envolve or will lead back to porn.

Answer 7

Get rid of every bit of porn you have and delete it all off your computer. take it one day at a time.

Answer 8

Is that something you will want to do if your God was sitting right next to you? If you think about that each time you get ready to watch that then it might help.

Answer 9

get a real women. so instead of watching someone else having sex you can have it for real.. much better in person than watching on tv with your hand.

Answer 10

you need to do alot of praying.... maybe get a hobby, throw your porn out.... get a woman in your life..
