I can’t stop watching porn. Maybe you know something that works…
Hey everyone, I’m single 21 years old guy and I can’t stop watching porn about 2-3 times a day. It takes about an hour each time because I can't get enough of one video. I start a video, and within the first minute I'm scrolling further to find more.
It's similar to TikTok, but instead of TikTok, it's a well-known website. I've watched literally tens of thousands of videos, and every time I try to find something new, since I've already seen literally 90% of them. Sometimes I browse other sites, but the situation is pretty similar there.
I'm wasting so much time that it really bothers me. I don't enjoy it anymore, but I literally can't stop. It's like smoking cigarettes for about 20 years—you don't enjoy it anymore, but you still want to.
Sometimes I feel like I'm literally going crazy. I tried to abstain from watching porn, but I couldn't last even a week.
I'm sure I have serious problems with this. It's not just about porn, but also about the number of times I masturbate per day, but this isn't the right thread, so I won't go into detail about that. The only thing worth mentioning is that because of the huge number of videos I watched, I started repeating some of the things I saw to myself (yes, I'm bisexual). I started spending money on various things I saw. I started buying photos from girls on Onlyfans.
Right now, my brain is literally overflowing with it—porn, porn, porn… If I were asked what search term to enter to find a particular video, I'm sure it would take me less than a second. I literally remember the names of videos of various genres. Some of these videos have been familiar to me for SEVERAL YEARS.
I started watching it early. It was probably back in elementary school. I started watching it actively about 10-11 years ago, and I haven't stopped since.
I’m just a regular normal guy. As I said before, I'm 21. I study and work in IT, and I have friends. I go to the gym, play guitar, and meet up with friends on weekends. I'm not a virgin; I had a long-term relationship with my ex-girlfriend and four other short-term relationships. I lead a very normal, measured life, but porn simply drains me of energy. Even in a relationship and having regular sex once or twice a day, I still watch porn several times a day. Today is Sunday, and I literally wasted eight hours on porn before I decided to write this post.
So, guys, are there any people here who have overcome a similarly severe porn addiction? What would you advise me to do?
