I saw this on GAF, I think all you guys should check it out! Very facinating!

First watch this video! All of it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zif0_60b3WUAfter watching that video and reading their website/forum http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/ I decided it was about time I quit porn.

I nuked my entire collection and deleted all the bookmarks. Now I am on a 90 day journey to reset my brain, been porn free since April 26, 2012 :P

Heh. I'm pretty sure it's an obsession, not an addiction. How can you be addicted to porn? Some people like porno more than others, so that means those who like it more than others must have an addiction? No. There is no physicality. And besides, that would make the porn stars basically psychotic wouldn't it? I'm calling pseudo-science on this (possibly with an agenda). Other factors would be the reason someone is obsessed with porn, it's not just the porn causing the obsession.

"I can't help myself I'm addicted."
No, you need to get the fuck out of the house and socialize. Your world is your room, you're an introverted recluse and it's unhealthy.

addiction as in using porn instead of talking to other women, watch the first 30 minutes of this video to see what I mean

Today I was studying at the library and this hot girl next to me was kinda checking me out and she looked horny.... for the first time I can remember my dick actually got erected in a public place it felt good. I haven't looked at porn for 11 days now (before it was a daily routine: drop off parents, go to the gym > wait for sister to leave for work then look for porn.... I haven't done that in 11 days and more and more I have been thinking of ways to approaching real women, reading the neogaf dating thread, watching vids on youtube when i can and so on.

This is real science, if you watch the video above it will put everything in a layman perspective. So far I have spent my life amassing a collection of porn and porn related websites (now deleted). I masturbated to it so much that it totally killed any interest I had in approaching real women. After watching the first video I posted, it really made sense and the second video was even better...plus this thread on neogaf

If you have a a girlfriend or wife then this is unnecessary but if you are alone and have been using porn as a substiute to a real relationship then yes this applies to you. No more porn for me ever! So far this has really helped me out but I will keep you guys updated.

No matter what you call it. They need to get the hell out and socialize.

Good to hear you're getting over your self-destructive (if they were) habits/problems Doom.

yea it was self destructive for sure, terrible habit....day 13 today, so far I don't miss porn at all, I haven't even glanced at a single video or picture of a girl online. Only paying attention to the real life girls now.

Also reading the dating thread on neogaf when I get a chance (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459177&page=6)

But man I need a job asap, gotta have money first! >_<

fixed..

not hard for me....I have made myself very disciplined over the last couple of years

it was a pun :(

Interesting choice of words... hah.

yea discipline doesn't just come out of nowhere...before I was a total wreck.... spending way too much time on forums, playing games or looking at porn all day, but I gotta say ever since I started exercising 2 years ago (after reading the phenomenal book called "spark the revolutionary new science of exercise and the brain") my life has gotten a lot better.

it's pretty difficult to police yourself when no one is around but I have mastered that now :D

It's okay man, I got it... don't be so hard on yourself.

:3

Ok day 38 today and to be honest this will be a lifestyle change for me, I won't be browsing porn again. And because of this I have become more goal oriented and somewhat driven. I haven't even touched a video game since last week! The only things on my mind are: academic goals (passing advance functions and Calculus & vectors by July then beyond that) and getting a decent job so I can take care of myself and start dating. It's unbelievable how much mature and responsible I have become since October 2011, had my brain been so strong in high school, I'd be an engineer or a doctor today. But alas, I can't go back in time....

If any of you guys are serious about this I recommend the following things:

Read this book called "Spark the revolutionary science of exercise and the brain" This book is really well written and it lays of the benefits of running/cycling (doing exercise that pumps blood to the brain and throughout the body). I have been exercising regularly since Summer or 2010 and as a result: I am more focused, my ability to concentrate has risen through the roof, my mood is better, I am more optimistic and my academic grades keep on increasing big big time....I didn't even know that I was good at math or liked math until late last year.

Buy organic turmeric, boil water and mix one teaspoon of turmeric and drink it daily. This yellow spice from India is simply amazing...I am pretty sure it helps me concentrate better, I have been taking it since January 2012. It also makes the skin shiny and healthy looking ;)

Eat locally grown blueberries (similar to turmeric - helps me a lot) and buy green pastures cod liver oil (you may or may-not need this depending on your diet and consumption of omega 3)


If I could only chose of the above it would be exercise. Seriously, exercising regularly (at least 4 times a week for 30 mins at 50-60% heart rate capacity) since Summer of 2010 has helped me greatly. I was totally lost in life and didn't know what to do next, but reading that book and committing to exercise is slowly but surely paying off. My academic performance just shot up....I now love reading books, love math, I have superior control over urges....simply amazing all thanks to that book IMO.

So I masturbated today after 45 days, it was like a shower! Crazy high ejaculation but it stopped rather quickly (I was using my imagination which isn't very good since I don't know any girls) but worth it!
