How to quit porn and masturbation?

Hi, sorry for bringing this out in the open. But I’m noticing some bad effects from watching porn and excessive masturbation.

For example, I notice 1) a pain in my head following ejaculation, like a mild headache and dizziness, 2) some pain in the penis during erection, 3) some pain around the anus area after ejaculation. Therefore, I’m going to see an urologist to check up on my health.

Therefore, as I’ve quit excessive smoking, I’m also looking to quit porn and masturbation. Any help from those who have done this? Also, can someone explain why I have some mild pain in my ■■■■■ during erection? This only occurs while I’m standing, not while I’m on my back. I’m concerned it might be a serious problem.

Thanks ahead

come live in Saudi Arabia, porn sites are banned here, also women are 90% face covered.
In a month or two you will start to think about becoming a gay :joy:

Well the easier option is to get a girlfriend or get married… but the point is as a broke schizophrenic, I can’t afford to do both. I’m concerned no one tolerate my a bit weird behavior.

Anyway back on topic, I need tips to stop masturbation cause it seems to have bad side effects on me. Like I feel less confident, more socially anxious, and also not sure if it’s anti-psychotic-induced, but I’m also having weaker erections than before. It could be the anti-psychotic coupled with weight gain.

Google Covenant Eyes.

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s not free though. I’ll download K9 Protection again. But it’s easy to break the rules when you’re also the administrator

There are free online classes that give means to fighting temptation.

Got a Link? Thanks ahead

Keep yourself otherwise occupied. Find stuff to do man, pick up a hobby.

It’ll help with your symptoms too

My exhusband & I used K9 mainly to protect my daughter from accidentally accessing a bad site.

Uh

Pain during arousal could mean some sort of trauma or some other psychological problem as well as a medical problem.

Do you have a history of abuse? Did someone violate you at some point?

How often are you masturbating? Guys will answer this one from five times a day to once every week or even once a month…and it helps to know how often because too often is bad and too long between can also be bad.

Just trying to get a clue as to what your situation is because what you said could mean a lot of things but your situation is key to understanding what is going on.

No link sorry. I don’t remember the name of the site. I took free classes christian based online. They didn’t Rid me of temptation but it might work for you.

Good answer …

Yep, you have to replace habits, because empty time leads to cravings. It’s a strategy used for recovering from addiction, smoking, caffeine, drugs and alcohol, it’s very effective.

Try purefreedom.org. That might help ok. Bebroken.com. Also a christian site. Maybe you can find a secular site to help you fight temptation. All sites I know of are christian.

The above link isn’t religious.

I look at porneia & self pleasuring as an amoral action. I used to think it was immoral, but most of that thinking was brought on by indoctrination, not from my own freedom of conscience.

If there is a true “crime” happening, then it’s probably the exhibitionists & pornographers that are to blame for hypersexualizing youths. I think a lot of us were hypersexualized as children and are still learning to curb the addictions brought on by it.

Don’t get too down on yourself. It’s a nonviolent action - and nonviolent actions should not be counted as “crimes”.

Addiction to porn/masturbation however can be devastating. I’ve always seen p/m as a sin. Some don’t see it that way.

Well I’ve stopped smoking successfully and coffee. The thing I’m working on now is lowering Diet Pepsi, artificial sweeteners, and masturbation. The other thing I’m working on is starting to lose weight and exercise.

Your words are very scary, to the degree that I want to cut my ■■■■■ with a knife for committing the crime of masturbation.
