how do i quit porn?

Question

and no, getting a sex partner is out of the question.

is even trying to quit normal?

Answer 1

Porn is nasty stuff. It supports criminals, degrades women, distorts the nature of sex, and should not be a part of your life at any age.

Usually it's easier to replace a bad habit with a good habit instead of just trying to get rid of the bad habit, So find something you can do instead of watching porn, something that you will enjoy in a non-sexual way or that makes you feel good about yourself. Maybe go running or shoot baskets. Maybe during the time of day when you're used to watching porn, arrange to do some serious volunteer work. Set a goal of two extra A's on your next report card and study hard at the library instead of coming home and turning on the smut.

Don't let porn control you -- you need to get in charge of your own life and how you spend it. Porn is really unhealthy and teaches guys to regard females as objects instead of treating them as equal human beings, and it sets totally unreal expectations (such as how big a penis is supposed to be -- the ones on porn are mostly digitally enhanced). Breaking this bad habit is an important way to earn some real self-respect.

You could consider getting a filter on your computer (something like NetNanny) that will make it harder to access the filthy stuff. BTW, porn sites are very likely to give you a computer virus.

Keep at it even if you slip a few times. You are a valuable person, and you should spend your time doing things that make you proud of yourself, not watching some sicko sex stuff. Sex is beautiful at the right time with the right person. Don't let porn pollute it for you.

Answer 2

It is a good sign that you intend to quit watching porn. It is not easy to give up a bad habit, since by letting it happen each time, this habit becomes us. Now you have become an addicted porn watcher, which means you have become a porn watcher by nature. You can not stop this habit by taking a hard decision or by controlling yourself. More you control, more will be your intensity to watch it again. So, please note that this intention is good and it comes from the Holy Spirit of God. Unless a person is guided by Holy Spirit, such good intentions shall not come to his mind. So what you can do is to thank God for making you feel like quitting porn. You submit this in prayer on daily basis and request God to enable you. Leave it in his hands and forget it. Do not think about it and wait for God to strengthen you totally. If you intensely feel like watching it, just observe your feelings at that moment and try to see whether you can do something else at that time. If the urge is too intense, watch it, but again repent and pray to God to strengthen you. Surely, you will win over it with the help of God. Submit this issue to God and forget it. Don't take any decisions over this.

Answer 3

This is a moral question. Yes, you can quit. But first you need to recognize that porn is addictive. You need help and from my perspective, that can best be found at Church. If you don't like that avenue, then ask your doctor to recommend professional counciling, specifically for this addiction.

Oh yes, it's not only normal to try to quit, it's healthy!
