No, I understand, but I am trying to say that people in this app sometimes use language that is not appropriate for your age. There are posts in this app that has very disturbing content for your age.

@kevinlester that's good, do you want to stop watching porn all together or ok watching once in a while?

@kevinlester I'm addicted to porn and used to be heavily addicted watching it multiple times a day for many hours. I'm trying to quit for good too as I've lost control so cant manage my porn anymore. Some people who aren't addicted I've heard can watch it once in a while and it npt take over their lives, but Im not one of them.

Mine was about 45 days, but it helped that I had a accountability partner. Maybe look into the 12 steps as a framework if you haven't already. It may or may not be for you

This is the nightly review they do to keep track of emotions that can lead to a relaspe alcohol,, drugs or porn, doesn't matter Daily inventory 1. Was I resentful? 2. Was I dishonest? 3. Was I afraid? 4. Did I promptly admit when I was wrong today? 5. Do I owe an apology? 6. Did I do or say something today out of fear? 7. Have I kept something to myself which should be discussed with another person at once? 8. Did I think today of what I could do for others? 9. Was I kind and loving towards all? 10. Did I reach out to someone in recovery today to see how they were doing? 11. Did I take the time to connect with my higher power through prayer or meditation today?

Anyone struggling with porn use? @pea I'm not in a position to explain the question. Although the question became relevant to me when I was age 8, I wouldn't want any child be exposed so young.

@ProgressNotPerfection I am. It's a lot better than it used to be 1 year ago, but still I'm slightly addicted to it.

@ProgressNotPerfection I don't think there's such thing as watching porn only once in a while. It produces dopamine so the brain wants more and more. Eventually, I'd find myself heavily addicted to it again. So I'm trying to quit once and for all. How about you?

What are you doing to try and quit?

I see. Those people probably have a healthy sexual life so porn is just a "supplement" for them. But who knows. I installed two pretty good website and keyword blocker extensions to my browser (I use Chrome). This way I can't even open porn sites or search for it. The apps are TinyFilter and BlockSite, you can find them in the Chrome Store. I wrote down my password to a piece of paper and placed it at the bottom of my drawer. Of course there are some loopholes and sometimes I lose control... so from now it's just the question of my discipline. So far, that's it.

No problem. It's about 15 days for the past two years I think. Not much, sadly. But I'll break it.

You may notice a difference at the beginning but as time goes on they become powerful tools equal to exercise or meditation

Sorry if this is a bit of an odd post, but I’m wondering if there are any girls out there that have specifically struggled with shame around watching porn? A lot of my real-event ocd stems from watching that kind of content in the past, and for some reason it feels particularly taboo as a woman. As a young teen, I saw some genuinely disturbing things, and I think a lot of that was to do with having unrestricted access to the internet. However, despite lots of people telling me “that’s normal teen curiosity” it just never feels like it applies to me, and that I’m genuinely just a sexual deviant. I think because that kind of content is so graphic and overstimulating it’s really stuck in my brain, and I just wish I could turn back the clock and switch off the computer. I’ve recently been struggling with doing typical ‘girly’ stuff because I feel tainted and gross, and I just want to get back to feeling myself again.

Anyone struggle with this with having ocd?

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please
