I 86’d kratom the other week so im officially sober aside from sex. This is not a flex. I’m masturbating way more often than having actual sex. I know this is kind of a touchy subject on this forum but it’s hard to deny the havoc porn wreaks on many peoples lives. I was wondering if anyone has successfully quit porn / overcome sex addiction?

Thank God I don’t have sex addiction, because I would be seriously Jones’n. Cause I aint getting any 
.
As for whether or not porn “wreaks havoc” on peoples lives is debatable I suppose. Can’t wait to see all the juicy posts in this thread. Gonna be a barn burner

Im on rexulti. I feel my sexual function is pretty high.
But yeah, porn does terrible things to your brain. Its has similar effects on the mind as methamphetamine and other dopamine triggering drugs. I rarely watch it these days because i feel its not very healthy to. Lucky i have a partner in that regard. I have no idea what 86’d kratom means. Might have to look it up.

I mean everyone’s argument is gonna be it’s the addiction not the porn but idk man. I’ve essentially had perpetual access to it since I was 12. Pretty sure I would have been better off if I didn’t. Especially that young. I don’t care what anyone says, children should not be watching porn.

I was 15 when I started watching porn, though I don’t watch it that much as I got older.

Yea the accessibility is definitely the biggest part of the problem.

I dunno. Ive always had access to my jimmy johnson and i never needed porn to use it lol. Although it can be nice to watch
At the end of the day if you watch it a bit dont beat your self up to much (pun intended).
Get some other hobbies going to fill up your time.
Lol I dunno, seems to me there’s a big difference between masturbation and masturbating to porn.

I definitely think it’s more natural to develop your sexuality without porn at a young age.
Sadly I had too much access and the internet was a dangerous place for content that is too much at around 11.

Well, I don’t spend 6 hours a day looking at porn but I’d be lying if I said I never have looked.
I didn’t have access to internet porn growing up so I have no idea on the impact of having it at a very young age.
Back when I was growing up you had to go sneak look at your friends parents nudie magazines if you wanted to view anything resembling porn. And it was softcore stuff. Mostly just nudes. Is that even considered porn? IDK. Am not an expert.
They did have the playboy channel back then and I saw that at some friends houses(my parents never had it), but that is tame compared to what they have on the internet.

Tell your partner about your porn addiction. Addiction thrives in secrecy.
Sex is biological need. Porn is not. From what your post porn seems issue for you not sex.

I am wondering if this has anything to do with your schizophrenia and your symptoms
My conflicts with porn also I noticed have to do with my delusions that I get from my symptoms of schizophrenia
I thought if I cut it out completely I would clear up some of my schizophrenic symptoms
I don’t have a partner right now but in the past the amount of sex I’ve had with partners has been a bit excessive. I agree that it’s most definitely in general MORE of a porn problem than a sex problem but I think sex in general is something I have an issue moderating. The partners I’ve had though also seemed to want the same amount of sex as I have so idk maybe not maybe just high libidos.

Moderation is everything.
Cold stopping it can make you relapse.
I think identifying the problems it is doing to you and adjust your porn consumption.

They are 100% intertwined. Watching it can make me more paranoid for days.
I think this a lot as well. Where did you end up with the whole situation?
I’ve just read so much information saying moderation is impossible if you’re an addict. It really does seem to be a compulsion I have very little control over.
