Hey everyone, I really need help on avoiding watching porn, since this addiction has been with me for so long, but it’s so hard to avoid looking at when I’ve struggled with it for so many years.
some steps you can take to work towards getting rid of this addiction: Seek professional help,consider reaching out to a therapist or counselor who specializes in addiction treatment. They can provide personalized strategies and support tailored to your needs. Join a support group,connecting with others who are going through similar challenges can provide a sense of community and encouragement. Groups like Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) or Porn Addicts Anonymous (PAA) may be helpful. Identify triggers,understanding what triggers the urge to watch porn can help you develop strategies to avoid or cope with these triggers effectively. Replace the habit,find alternative activities to engage in when you feel the urge to watch porn. Exercise, hobbies, mindfulness practices, or spending time with loved ones can be healthy distractions. Set boundaries: create boundaries to limit access to porn, such as installing filters on devices or setting time limits for internet use.
@Anonymous - Nice thank you so much, I’ve tried to get in contact with a therapist, but it’s been hard for cost, and I’ve tried using a app to block with 18 plus apps like ph and x videos and others, but I wish I could set a password for it since at times my urges get the best of me and make me want to search pornography again, but I haven’t been at these social groups so I might try that!!, again thank you so much
@Dave789 Baby go to screen time settings, go to “App Store, games, web” tab, there’s a section that allows you to restrict websites and adult websites. And you can block physical websites by typing in the never allow section
You're welcome. Like many things, avoiding porn needs practice. You weren’t initially this way. Step by step, you can free yourself.Porn ruins Human minds,and you are so brave to understand that, see it, and decide to quit it. Therapy is the first and faster option I mentioned, but you can completely free yourself from it by yourself. I am sure you can do that because you took the first step, which is the decision, and you see it as an addiction. Many people can't see or accept this.Also, during the time you get rid of porn, you can overcome POCD too because I think porn affects those kinds of intrusive thoughts too.
Run away from porn it will ruin your life!!!!!!!
I need help I have a strong urge to look at pornography I consider myself straight although I have jerked off to trans porn before it's just I feel a urge to do it I was in class randomly just had a urge to look at porn I had a response pre ejaculation leaked while I had my eyes on something else I feel so ashamed I need help idk why I had this urge I just did idk what to do someone help I have fucked up thoughts too while looking at it sometimes of minors younger idk what to do I always get the same thoughts of my younger cousin need help
I can't look at 18+ videos, comics, etc. I am straight, but SO-OCD tries to make me think I am not And the thoughts turns to feelings, and makes me scared, uncomfortable, sad, because I know this is not me. And when I try to imagine myself being with the woman on adult videos, and comics, my OCD gives gronal response not at the girl, and it fills me with fear, and anxiety, I always loved, and was attracted to women but I can't and it caused me to be depressed, and I keep ruminating I keep trying to focus on her, but it's so bad that I avoid those all the time now. I am wondering has anyone gone through something like this, or currently is, and wondering how you have done to combat this!
Hi everyone I could really use some help on this topic. It’s hard to admit and talk about but after being on here I see that I’m not the only one! Still I would love some support and advice with how to deal with those unwanted sexual thoughts. For me it’s so uncomfortable and honestly gross when sexual thoughts get out of hand with normal people and also do extremely out of hand that even loved ones get involved. Like when I watch tv and all of a sudden I have these gross thoughts that I know if I accept they will go away but how can you accept something so gross? Would love some help!
