How do I stop masturbation/porn?

[Mortimer]

Well that's good and all but jerking off is natural and good for you.

I can get that somehow but porn is evil. Well now they even feature satanic bi and gay porn. that disturbed me and shocked me so much that im afraid to open their site. I think if i use my imagination only its ok.

its hard to stop if you've been doing it for a while, especially asian porn. That category can get really addicting not gonna lie.

Anyways surround yourself with activites, hobbies, etc. not sure what age group you belong to but if you're still in school/college you could easily avoid it cause you're surrounded by school work, hobbies, activities, etc. If you have a lot of free time, then you got to get some work or join some groups, get involved at some local events, etc. There's lot of stuff to do around if you are willing to look for it lol. You can get a girlfriend too. Initially you'll keep doing having sex constantly with her but will get bored overtime and wont do it that often. At that point you wont jerk off that much either.

You might be trolling (i hope you are not), but i can still tell you a couple of things. Because you probably watch porn anyway.

Everything starts on the mental level. Everything you do follows you. Everything that gives you pleasure will be something your body will be needing in the future. Fast pleasure is usually very harmful for our bodies.

Consuming porn is itself pretty destructive. For some people it can be even more harmful. Some people are more prone to get addicted to different things like alcohol, sex etc. It is unfair for sensitive and impulsive people but life is unfair sometimes.

I personally had to acknowledge these specific things:

1. We are vulnerable human beings and we might get addicted. You have to be able to say what you need help and seek for help, because addictions harm our lives.

2. Porn is a very sick industry. Watching porn supports that industry. Many girls on legal sites are underage, treated badly and some are half forced to do those things (because of many different reasons). You do well if you stop watching porn and you make a morally right choice too then you decide to help yourself. You are responsible for your mind and your body and being addicted is a bad thing for both of them. If you practice spirituality it harms that part as well. We all are spiritual beings so it will harm us any way.

3. We have to understand that porn addiction is like a drug addiction. Being addicted to porn or sex is a very strong addiction. Porn gives you a dopamine rush, a very strong one. It gives your body a very strong adrenaline kick too. I know some people might laugh at me, but this is not some bible bashing thing only, it is a scientifically proven fact as well. People are too often very primitive and don't see obvious things and are dumb and selfish.

4. Porn leaves you alone and will not satisfy your soul. It is not a masculine act or a cool one. Only bright things can satisfy us. Then you fight against your addictions you will fight against negative things which will affect your sexual life in the future. Porn does change the way we look at women and think of them, just like having sex with different people every weekend does. You becoming free of this addiction will make your lady/ future lady more happy so you do it for her too. And for yourself. Unless she is into porn. I think most of the women are not.

5. Praying or meditating is a very important thing to do. We are spiritual beings and this helps us to concentrate on some deeper things and will help to heal our brokeness. I personally believe in loving God who cares for us.

6. Sex is beautiful, women are beautiful, but porn is not beautiful. It is ugly as it gets. Sex is a very intimate act which binds souls and minds, bodies together and should be cherished as such.

7. Porn locks are one thing, but your will is another. Our will tests our hearts. How much do we want something? What do we believe in? If we want something badly we have to fight for it. If you want to get free you have to run. Run from that filthy dog which will never satisfy you and wants to destroy you.

Keep on moving and fighting then hard times come. Imagine being a cocaine addict. Be your own Matthew McConaughey. Never give up. Pray, have faith. Keep yourself grounded. Be productive and search for your soul mate then you can. Some people might fight their traumas, emotional issues and such things with stuff what is very addictive, so being reflective on those things can help that neurotic behaviour which porn addiction usually is. When people feel bad they usually go for a quick fix. They drink alcohol, watch porn, consume sugar. These things make us feel a bit better for a very short time, but will eventually drain our energy and harm our bodies. Very small things can play a huge role in our lives... But everything starts in our hearts and our minds and ends up in our actions. Use that vital energy, life force you have for some jogging and exercising or some creative act. Meet friends, share things with them. Write. Train. Play music. Do sports then you have free time etc. Remember that porn is a very dirty thing for your soul. It is a huge stress for our brains too, not even speaking about moral issues it has. I jumped too much, but i hope you will get me. Keep fighting a good fight man!
