So I Am Trying To Quit Masturbating.

[TheBoyRo]

But I didn't give in. Yet

No jokes, but I've done some research, and apparently, the word is that you're supposed to do away with all kinds of pornographic material, even if you're just looking at it.

The main culprit is neither porn nor masturbation (both of which aren't "bad" per se) but porn fantasy. If you can't get off without thinking of "pornographic" material, then you're already knee deep. If that pornographic material is some fucked up shit, then you're neck deep.

You have to pull yourself out. You have to abstain and let your brain cool down and "normalize." That might typically mean nearly complete abstinence from pornographic material from about 6-8 weeks to 3-4 months or so.

I really don't know if it works or not, but I'm trying. Almost 3 weeks clean (and let me say, the image of Kelly Devine that you put in my head doesn't help one bit, and neither does a fifth of the posts in this thread).

I'm not an addict at all, but I'm led to believe that porn can decrease the quality of sex. It's like one gamer put it - 'it's like using cheat codes to beat a game to the point where it's too easy and no longer fun.'

For my brethren, a few helpful sources that I've recently read:

Smh I saw a video of Kelly divine getting fucked in the ass by a girl with a strap on. The image of her bent over with the other girl behind her bent over was beautiful

Damn man thats some real shit.

I just emptied my "other bookmarks" folder which was obviously filled with my favorite shesfreaky.com clips.

I think this right here is one of the reasons more people are doing NoFap is because of this.

what is the number of times a week that you do it to think it's too much.... to where you have to quit ???

I thought this was a joke but after reading all these posts it sounds serious :/

In my 20s I would do it on average like 3 times a day, 3 days a week. Is that too much?

I'm not even sure

Were you having sex too ?

Yea but I was masterbating much more though

I'm not a Dr. but that does sound like maybe you had a problem

No judgement ...

you a woman and we all know y'all flick that bean like its no tomorrow . i'd like to hear some femanle input. how often do y'all finger pop yourselves and was there ever a grace period or downtime when you took a break or tried to stop @MsSouthern @obnoxiouslyfresh @Kat @kai i'm running out of names to @ its a damn sausage fest on this site. y'all save the ic! save it somebody!

Chill. If they want to speak on it, let them. Women do it too and there are women on youtube that talk about it, but IMO it has more of an effect on men.

[Preach2Teach]

Did I fail if I beat it for 5 minutes but never finished myself off?

 

[JoshuaMoshua]

Yall niggas got some weak ass wills man

 

[Plutarch]

Did I fail if I beat it for 5 minutes but never finished myself off?

Yes, apparently, it's worse. What if I masturbate (edge) or watch porn without orgasm?

 

[Rum Middleton]

Been strong 5 days in, got the pussy twice, its the weekend, kids was home...we good....

I think tomorrow is when the urge might surface..wife at work, kids at school...we shall see.

Damn, didn't know it did all that.

@Qiv_Owan That Shame movie was wild. I like Don Jon more but Shame just seems different. Like it gets more into the mental and social disorder with the addiction and how it effects the people around you. Definitely something that I've struggled with, in terms of social anxiety, but I was never THAT bad.

 

[JimmyJu]

why would you do that ?

 

[traestar]

@ChiCity ?

 

[blackgod813]

I be on sex lines Im down to four times a day i had sex with this girl 18 I thought i was beating it up she clowned me when she said I needed hormones its hard an soft :'(

 

[Chi Snow]

@traestar accidental reaction

 

[Preach2Teach]

I managed 10 days then beat it, the first 2 times was with no porn but the last 7 times has been with porn, my cock was starting to feel all shriveled up like it was dying or some shit, I am looking at the positives tho like how aware I am becoming to the downsides and the effect it has on the brain, I will give it another shot soon.
