Porn Addiction = Life Alone

Ever since I was 13, I've looked at soft porn or porn whenever I felt anxious or stressed. It has kept me single and virgin all this time and now I am 30. Porn is like a drug with seemingly little hangover effects, you can watch it all day and feel fine the next day. You can take a break and enjoy life for months only to come back to binge-watching porn and edging, all because of a short weak moment that made you vulnerable again. People say "it's just porn bro", but they don't understand how dependent you can become, I've been squirming in my chair all morning just because I binged porn yesterday, anxious and wanting to feel a relief by watching it again. Needless to say I'm lucky I never tried any addictive drugs and I intend to keep it that way, if I tried heroin this all would repeat with 10000x more devastating side effects, knowing myself.
I unironically suspect porn is part of the reason for the depopulation crisis in the first world countries.

I have been on semenretention (brahmacharya) since past 2 years

Lol, your ancestors conquered the cold for thousands of years just for you to get beaten by tits on a screen.

Yeah, I recall seeing "scientific" articles such as "looking at tits every day boosts your mental health" in my youth. Also there was the WoW meme song "internet is for porn" which I found funny and true back in the day. Porn simply tricks our brain to think we are winning at life, like we are at the top of a mountain of infinite pussy, it's fucking stupid.

Also I've been very productive during my life, more productive than most I'd say, but it's all slipping away because my addiction is becoming worse since I use porn to cope with loneliness. Only 5 years ago I had insane discipline, 10 years ago was the same, 15 years ago even more insane discipline. This problem is becoming worse the more easily accessible perfect looking porn becomes.

Just see a prostitute for fuck sake.

The issue is you're ugly, else you'd just have sex. No solution for that, might as well keep jacking off, what you do is irrelevant if you won't reproduce.

Sounds like your problem is too low levels of baseline dopamine levels. The cure is simple and easy just do cardio at the gym every 3-4 days for endorphin release. Fap once before sleep. Easy fix.

I'm also a 30 year old touchless virgin.
Started looking at porn when I was 11 or 12 years old. Jerked off a lot and still do. Fapping is super exhausting too, even just jerking off once a day saps my energy for the rest of the day.

That's seriously your response? What would that even solve? I don't care if I'm a virgin, I only care that I am lonely, that hurts so I watch porn sometimes. If I fucked a prostitute I would just spiral into despair, fearing I've caught some STD like herpes, knowing myself. It would only cause misery and accomplish me nothing, I don't understand why you fucktards think prostitutes solve anything, wanking to porn is inherently better than fucking some stupid fucking whore paid or not.

I look average. Also why would I just keep jacking off, I'd rather kill my sex drive and focus on more meaningful things in my life.

Stop looking at porn then. Not that hard.

Thing is, with dating apps, women are actually at the top of a mountain of dick.

Yeah, but as I said I've gone months without porn, only to come back to it in a weak moment. I've also made the choice to not go back to it in such moments, countless times, but it only takes one mistake to binge again on it and then it's painful to wean off it again. You'd think a human would learn from their mistakes, but I've found that the longer I'm off porn, the less serious its effects on my life seem.

even just jerking off once a day saps my energy for the rest of the day

That might probably be a good thing because it demotivates you from watching it. I have high energy levels and high libido all the time, which makes this problem harder to manage I think. If you want higher energy levels, check your vitamin, zinc and magnesium levels and correct if any are low.

I do gym but I should do cardio too. Yesterday I binged on porn after a hard gym workout because I got incredibly horny afterwards, no idea why. I should just keep it in my pants.

Don't come back next time.

Do you have any personal experience of battling against addiction?

feels good to be that mountain

OP I say this unironically and with the best intention brother: quit porn. Quit it once, and quit it for good.

It is pure, spiritual poison and is damaging in ways that are very hard to perceive - just like any good poison should be.

Find God, pray to the Lord Jesus Christ for help. Slay and destroy the lust demon forever, and be free from it's sick and wicked grip. God bless.

If you have a porn addiction force yourself to go to the gym, swap the addiction for a gym addiction instead. Working out feels good mane.

Our primitive brains are not adapted for this sort of excess, same with fast food.

I have porn adiction and fucked dozens of girls in my life

Weights are good for strength and aesthetics, but they dont result in an endorphins release.

So your brain craves it after a weights workout and you go for porn.

You need to have a cardio day mixed into your gym routine, where you just run or bike or swim or whatever for a good hour, if you’re out of breath change the speed down to low, and then try to go higher speed again a bit later.

You will feel like shit during the hour, but your body will pump out a shitton of endorphins and they will connect to the brain receptors that crave porn, so they no longer do so.

Just try once a week to do a dedicated cardio day, nothing else, warm up for 15-20 minutes, do some stretching, then run or whatever for 60 minutes.

All the muscle gains in the world will not help you if your brain is fucked.

I quit porn entirely for 18 months once and it did nothing to improve my life. If you are an ugly zero value loser you will get nowhere porn or not. It doesn't matter. Nothing really matters.

Yes. I just stopped drinking wasn't that fucking hard.

Porn

Addiction

Lol, My addiction was physical yours is because you are bored.

Thing is i will never experience the kind of sex I'd want with the kinds of people I'd want in my life. My life's empty rn and porn is kinda the only thing that keeps me going. One day i will find a porn bud amd we'll jerk off to filth till we die.

Truth is, no one can say anything that'll stop your addiction, it only depends on you actually acting.

I suggest masturbating without porn and seeing if that makes you less prone to binging and going from there.

You can indulge in hobbies and if you really need to fap, you can simply do the deed without porn to your imagination. Saying "nothing really matters" is your depression speaking, anon, I believe one can find meaning in life and half of that journey is related to balanced brain chemistry. We really are not in control that much - "we think we do but we don't".

Good advice anon, thanks. I've enjoyed the runner's high few years ago and it's great, I might start chasing after it again. Cheers.

Kudos to you, anon. I was addicted to drinking at one point in my life, quitting was difficult but possible because I made sure to remember how bad hangover feels whenever I had urges. My addiction wasn't severe per se, I just saw the signs of the addiction becoming worse so I quit.

The problem with gym is that it only takes 1-2 hours of my day. I don't really understand how can one become addicted to it, muscles need rest.

Just jackoff using your imagination, quit watching and then focus on getting real women more your life will improve drastically I promise

Why do you have that faggot shit from tumblr saved, nigger? Disgusting.

You need to re-wire yourself. Start by masturbation without porn, and thrusting the underside of your meat on a couch/bed, as if you’re pounding her doggy. If you’re going to be a wanker at least fuck something rather than de-sensitizing yourself to a hand’s death grip. Good luck

My point stands. You are watching porn because you are bored. Get a hobby that will take you away from your computer and you will stop jerking off as much as you do.

It's hard for the average man to find a good woman to settle down with (or a woman at all for that matter) and even then it's going to be close to impossible to replace the intense kinky sexual experiences that high quality fetish porn can provide. Even married couples uses porn to spice things up and enhance their sex life. It's a fun and healthy outlet for most people. Not part of the main or bigger causes of society's problems.

I wasn't dismissing your point. I agree that in principle it is very simple, exactly as you said.

I agree and I know from experience that fapping without any visual stimulus will make me laugh at my "porn addiction", in hindsight. It's just important to keep that habit running and never peeking at anything, which is difficult on the internetz.

What has porn to do with you being a virgin at 30? Genuine question. The way some people talk about porn like it's some hardcore life-ruining drug has always sounded insane to me.

I unironically suspect porn is part of the reason for the depopulation crisis in the first world countries.

There is no "depopulation crisis", we have more people alive today than in any other time in history.

It simply demotivates one from seeking any real life sexual encounters. I'm not interested in looking for a woman because porn gives me almost infinite pleasure without the downsides (except for wasting my life).

That only applies to 3rd world shitholes. In the first world, there is a crisis. Less than 1 babies per woman means that the cumulative effect of such low fertility causes population to decline rapidly over few generations.

Once boomers will die I would pay to see your pikachu face

I'm a bit older than you. Please quit man. It doesn't go away...as you've probably already learned.

Yeah, it really tricks your brain, doesn't it. It's insane how it tricks it, you're stuck in a loop until you forcefully through temporary pain cut it.

Because it's all concerted effort to normalize wasting your life on pixel pussy. It's a war that is ran by the JQ. The internet is for porn .. it's safe and effective ... same propaganda.

Porn is based and redpilled.

I unironically suspect porn is part of the reason for the depopulation crisis in the first world countries.

Wrong, if porn didnt exist I would still refuse to have children or associate with w*men. I would literally make caveman paintins of boobs on a wall and fap to it before I associate with neurotic hysterical bipolar holes who spend every moment trying to shit test me and gaslight me into slavery again, being stuck for years with one when I was born was enough for this lifetime and the next.

That only applies to 3rd world shitholes.

No. It applies everywhere. At no point in history have existed more humans in developed nations than now.

Less than 1 babies per woman means that the cumulative effect of such low fertility causes population to decline rapidly over few generations.

That's assuming downward trends will persist into perpetuity, when it's just the usually ebb and flow of K-strategists.

Let me stop you right there. You and everyone on Earth. Sorry you're ugly and an addict but that's literally not my problem. Shut the fuck up you're annoying

At no point in history have existed more humans in developed nations than now

Yeah but it's not in balance. Jeets and niggers are still fucking like rabbits compared to 1st world countries. The problem, in my opinion, comes from the immigration of these niggers to civilized countries in hopes of solving the "crisis". I agree that there is no real crisis, populations fluctuate naturally, I just fear the replacement of intelligent people, I have no problem with a fluctuating population if it's kept in sensible isolation from the rest of the world.

I highly doubt Indians immigrating to Finland are of the low intelligence variety.

Of all the fucking flags, why is germany like this? Don't you have eyes?

Don't you have eyes?

I do, but sadly my eyes can't find your argument.

Men can't be virgins. And if you're addicted to porn you're a loser. Porn isn't even real, you're just watching other people have a good time. That's disgusting, no wonder you're miserable. You're basically the creepy cuck who lives in someone's closet.

it's even worse, they smell of shit and curry

lol, true
I only watch lesbians tho

stress the body and brain out by elevating your dopamine to near cocaine levels for prolonged periods of time

wtf why do i feel fucked up the day after

it lasts like a day tops.
“you can do it all day and the next day you’re fine” never done drugs?? there’s always a come down and it’s shit but then you get high next weekend anyway. that’s the uncaring dopamine machine pushing us all forward.

I unironically suspect porn is part of the reason for the depopulation crisis in the first world countries.

imagine being a woman and accusing porn of making men disinterested in relationships, pathetic
if tits on screen win the fight over male attention with you, I'd say the problem isn't with tits on screen, the problem is with you

i want to add another thing. guys who are virgins later in life who finally get with someone and especially if it goes long term… yeah well all i can say is good luck. you’re going to discover some shit about life. you’re gonna discover what’s real in porn and what never happens. you’re gonna seethe that your awesome gf who you genuinely love was with other people before you by this age. it fucking sucks. i have experienced love but some times i wonder if i should have just visited hookers when i wanted to fuck flesh instead of my hand and a screen. now i have someone i simply fucking fell for, and she fell for me, and now i have these all these feelings. 15 year old proto-chudcel me would bully the pussy ass current me.

You think I want to touch some dirty whore? I fear STD's, man. Also I find most women insufferable beyond repair.

my friend you have general anxiety. you just find comfort in porn. dont hop on jewish drug shit like xanax or SSRIs, they nuke your brain. but do research how you can find mental peace. that fucking mind-racing feeling is god awful and im sure freaking your dopamine system out with hours of porn doesnt help. you said in OP that its a hangover-less drug but it isn’t

If I didn't watch porn I'd probably be in prison or on a sex offender registry.

I've thought about SSRI's as a last resort if all else fails because I've read they kill your dick. That's not possible though because I don't want irreversible damage either. So I just must have discipline.

dunno what to tell you man, sometimes whores are cleaner because they know what they are. you think 28yo stacy who fucked “a hot guy” last week is doing regular STD tests?

With "whore", I meant all women, because it's safe to expect almost all women I meet are whores, as-in they've been fucked by multiple dicks raw. So I really don't want to touch women, I don't want diseases.

The theory is that if You are prone to addiction and got one the only way out is by sinking into another one. Do You like jogging? You vill love it and You will be happy!

yeah man, avoid avoid avoid. it nukes your brain. i thought breath work and mental stuff like affirmations “i am calm. i am relaxed.” was libtard hippy bullshit, but i can now recognise when my mind is racing and im fucking nervous. it’s like being a tweaker but you never done meth. anxiety fucking sucks so bad. now i can give myself 5 minutes to chill out when i feel that “heaviness” in my head. that jolt in your chest, that fucking gnawing feeling in your guts. i hate it. then with your porn addiction, it’s just a case of treating like an addiction. would you pound 10 bottles of beer every day? leave it for the weekend

I love this idea

Killing yourself might do the trick
I have tried all sort of vices smoking alcohol drugs not even one addiction

many fitness dorks started this way. i just hate how fucking fake the whole scene is. if you get into Anon Babbleness just know EVERY influencer, personality, coach, the big guy at your gym has taken some form of steroid or otherwise unnatural enhancer. and brother i mean EVERYONE. then they sell you their super secret and formulated scientific program to get YOU just as shredded and big as they are! for the low low fee of €20 a month.

Good morning sirs

People are so fucking dumb it hurts. Fuck you. You need to have your voting rights removed and then you should be put into a labour camp because you're not smarter than dumb nigger cattle, you fucking loser

Never though about such obvious consequences of this mechanism, thanks Anon! But just jogging won't turn one into compulsive 'roider... right?

good.
now do it for life and spare another soul from being born here

I am single not because of porn. I know it because i tried nofap for a long period.

No no no, SSRI will elevate your serotonin and then you will be more tolerant to various things. Also to being more prone to Your own compulsive ideas how stupid they could be
To get your horniness down the best is melatonin, but in your region this could unironicly kill you long term, also there is always risk of slight gyno

oh nah. it’s like any other drug too. you’ll do one cycle for a few months and see INSANE progress. yeah it’s great until you’re 35 and your fucked up hormones break your dick, drilled a hole in your liver, and aged your face 20 years in 1 year. all i can say is, research diet. research lifting form and technique. research a routine you can fit into your weekly schedule. even research roids, and know that for every positive it has double the negative effects. no one ever talks about the mental effects roids can have. it’s not simply “roid rage”, it just puts a 10x amplifier on your existing anxiety. so do you want to be a mentally destroyed muscle freak for a couple of years or just be natty and thin and in shape for the rest of your life? is how i look at it.

There's a good book in Romanian by a bio-chemist Virgiliu Gheorghe -Pornografia, maladia secolului XXI. Buy it as pdf, and use chargpt to translate it. It's the best book on the effects of pornography on the human brain, body and relationships.

you bought a PDF?? are you actually romanian

This sounds so forced lol

Its over jews

Behavioral, good 'ol Pavlov tactics might be helpfull, you said that by deafult you associate women with STDS and you are disgusted be concept of whore
So just be consistent Anon! Train your' mindfullness' and every time you watch or seek porn think that you are getting manipulated by those whores into wasting your time
Let your disgust flow through You!
Then you could escape completly or skip just to danboorumaxing and divert your addiction into weeb territory, there you at least have a theoretical chance to get to know someone with the same addiction(hobby) on some anime convent

there are also millions of people who have taken roids but just look fat / muscle fat because they assumed they’d look like 23yo arnold in a few months. roiders still can’t just stuff their face on slop and be 8% bodyfat.

Men want love you nigger. You can't pay a prostitute to love you.

and brother i mean EVERYONE

It's true, something like 4% of American men have been on at least one cycle. A big guy 4u at my uni gym tried to rope me into it.

True but they're also alone and have convinced themselves they don't need no man to take care of them. Both sexes have been fucked over by jews. We need Hitler.

Feel fine the next day

Squirming in my chair all day due to not gooning

Perkele Pekka!

It has kept me single and virgin all this time

lmao at u blaming porn for all this. u sound like boomer who blames school shootings on video games. me and every chud i know fapped to porn and fucked. ur single cuz ur socially awkward autistic loser. Get out of your moms basement sometime and meet new people. This isn't rocket science.

Why do men keep flagellating themselves?, it’s not porn or videogames, the System is rigged against you and these things are the cope. If they get rid of these things you will still cope with other things like alcohol or gambling, and even if they still ban every cope escapism possible, men won’t even stand against the real baddies or get rid of anti-western things like women’s voting/working rights, AoC or abrahamic religions which are the ones keeping you down.

Just don't go for gacha games (unless you think the addiction exchange is realy worth it)

WORDS WORDS WORDS

You're all weak faggots I rather stay in my post nut clarity till eternity while you simps will lose your minds and go insane on pre nut pussy delusions

Porn 'addiction' is a myth in the literal sense. It is not like a drug you get hooked onto despite what maudlin faggots and christcuck grifters would have you think. That one image that gets pasted around of the brain before and after is fake/misleading. Your problems go way beyond that and you probably have some form of OCD/poor impulse control

The system convinces you the problem is your cope and the few pleasures you have and not the jewish system

This

Smart anons like these used to be more common here and retards like op had some pushback not too long ago

it’s simply dopamine habituation, but you’re right it’s always paired and caused by some root cause too.

Bingo
There are no withdrawal symptoms for coomers anyway
We shouldn't even help crack addicts we should let them rot on the streets like the animals they are but christcucks had to ruining everything with their "hate the sin not the sinner" bullshit

OP is a christcuck youth minister who has made it his mission to further his religion's puritanism by meme spamming, with a youth angle

I was only 13 when I became addicted to Satan's media

But scratch out "Satan" so it looks like a secular argument.
St. Augustine, whom some call the father of the church, admitted he was a libertine until age 35, when he suddenly saw the light. So feel free to take your 35 years, like the father of Christianity.
We are sexual beings and masturbation is part of it. If you need to do it 5 times a day, do it 5 times a day. Be efficient about it.
Stop pretending there is a you that doesn't masturbate, and move onto more substantive arguments.

You are both half right. But to say there is no addiction is to say that conditioning and brainwashing do not exist.
You are right people need some coping mechanisms and do not need to wageslave from them
But you are also right about that weak self control part

The idea is to not fall into one coping mechanism which enslaves your brain from other cope mechanism. Its about though clarity, freedom and ability to connect with others and being able to commit to others when they are worthy

I have it in physical form.

You're a virgin because there are no fuckable women.

Ever since I was 13, I've looked at soft porn or porn whenever I felt anxious or stressed. It has kept me single and virgin all this time and now I am 30.

I guarantee you there are more reasons you're alone from age 13 to 30 than "I look at porn sometimes".

That's completely bs. Most men that watch porn have relationships.
You've fallen for the lie that tradfags and feminists have made to blame single for their situation instead of addressing the real issues.

stop watching porn. cultivate self respect.

That's not how addictions work. It's like you didn't even bother to read his post and just saw "porn" and had to reply "quit it".
If you read through his post you would realize it's not porn itself keeps him coming back, like a druggie on a binge. It's his inability to deal with stress and anxiety.

Go on a therapy to find other ways to deal with stress and anxiety. Just like you reach for porn, some other people reach for food, alcohol, weed, YouTube or even sport. Avoiding these things will not address the underlying issue. You need to learn how to maintain emotional stability so you won't have to escape from it with these means. Ask for professional help.
