Porn is a Sin, masturbation alone is not.\r\n\r\n[Your Brain On Porn](https://www.amazon.com/Your-Brain-Porn-Pornography-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00N2AH8NW) by Gary Wilson would be a good resource for learning about the science and the plethora of experiences behind these claims","subreddit_name":"NoFapChristians","author":"lapizlazule"},{"body":"You need to read[Your Brain on Porn.](https://www.amazon.com/Your-Brain-Porn-Pornography-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00N2AH8NW)\r\n\r\nRead it for him. But read it all before talking to him.\r\n\r\nHe'll need your compassion.\r\n\r\nHe's already swimming in a sea of self-loathing for his lack of self-control over his addiction. Especially saying he probably can't even admit to himself it IS an addiction.\r\n\r\nRead that book. It will help you understand SO much more and maybe give you a path forward.","subreddit_name":"NoFap","author":"findyourwayforward"},{"body":"If you really want to be done with it then at this very second, the instant you read this sentence, delete your collection. You feel that resistance? Thats the lowest version of yourself trying to pull you underwater and keep you there. Face him right now, if not you're just on here procrastinating what you know you need to do and eventually will *have* to do.\r\n\r\nThe thing about addiction is they are 80% mindset and 20% biology. Being successful in life is having mastery over the biological drives that will test you until you die. You've cranked the knob to 11 on your dopamine and reward system which is going to hijack your thoughts for a little bit until you get this handled because the knob is going to go to 0. Sex used to be a reward for being a man that women were attracted to, now your fooling yourself that you're this badass that mates with multiple women a day for doing nothing.\r\n\r\nI used to be exactly the same in my early 20's. No Fap as well as reading this book really solved the issue entirely for me. If you need some accountability let me know dude. You got this, stop being a wiener (literally lol) and face your dark side, its the most liberating feeling in the world.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Your-Brain-Porn-Pornography-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00N2AH8NW","subreddit_name":"DecidingToBeBetter","author":"TylerTheRelator"},{"body":"I implore you to read “Your Brain On Porn” by Gary Wilson. I don’t have the time or energy to list off a ton of sources and studies and research, but this book is very solid and backed up by credible research. Much more credible than those Vice or HuffPost articles where the writer tries to rationalize their own porn addiction. Remember when the tobacco industry was trying to convince everyone that tobacco was perfectly healthy? That’s exactly what’s going on today. Let’s hope we don’t wait decades to decide to do something about porn like we did with cigarettes. \r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Your-Brain-Porn-Pornography-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00N2AH8NW","subreddit_name":"dankmemes","author":"MegaGyarados1"},{"body":"Abstaining from it. It was the hardest thing i've ever quit. And I still haven't been successful to cut it completely from my life (I still watch like 3-4 times per month). \r\n\r\nMy addiction was so bad that I always had this brain \"fog\" that made it impossible to me to think clearly, and I don't remember 90% of my teenage years. Only bits and pieces :(.\r\n\r\nIt was the best decision i've ever made though. The benefits are countless: much more energy, more motivation, more excitement, better memory,  better sex life, getting happy with small things in life and generally more positive outlook on the world and people around, etc. \r\n\r\nIf you have the time, please read this book [\"Your Brain On Porn\"](https://www.amazon.com/Your-Brain-Porn-Pornography-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00N2AH8NW). It goes into the details of porn addiction and how it affects your brain. It's scientific (not religious or something).\r\n\r\nIt really makes me sad how many people are addicted to it, especially young kids that start watching it from like 10 years old.","subreddit_name":"h3h3productions","author":"quit_that_98"},{"body":"This.

That feeling of relief when you wake up one day though and the withdrawal is gone after a good long streak is incredible. Sure, your brain might give you more withdrawal down the line but the general trend is that the withdrawals get weaker and less often, and you become more yourself until eventually you're in control and no longer bogged down!

Overall, I'm generally where I want to be in life; living in a major city, doing a job that genuinely interests me, and surrounded by lovely people. The reason I'm quitting porn is that I don't have a girlfriend due to constantly achieving virtual sexual release, plus I agree with UberTacoMan; it's just not natural. I think it's generally a bad habit, and I'm definitely improving as a person for giving it up. \r\n\r\nAs Gary Wilson said in [Your Brain On Porn](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Brain-Porn-Pornography-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00N2AH8NW), it doesn't _hurt_ to try abstinence.

Try nofap, but be patient and enjoy every second that you haven't fapped -this isn't something you can rush and rushing will make it much harder\r\n\r\nI also suggest you read this book when you know what's going on it's a lot easy to deal with.
