Hi /fit/. A few days ago I asked here about positive effects I would experience once I give up porn.

Keep in mind that I am doing this because of mental health issues. Nothing related to my balls about to explode or my stamina going up or down when masturbating. I am talking compulsive hoarding, looking for porn for 6 hours a day and guilt/self-esteem to deal with.

I started by deleting all my porn but two folders. I kept on masturbating for a while but as soon as stuff was downloaded I deleted it once I was done. Freaking hard the two first times 'that pic' was sweet! I must keep it! Fantasm number one' etc. But I still deleted it. And guess what? I don't miss it. And that is just great. I lived in fear of deleting porn and people finding out about my addiction. One out of the equation I guess.

Three days ago I deleted my 'beautiful agony' and 'i feel myself' folder. These were the last I had. I kept them for brilliant reason such as 'it's not hardcore, it's sweet, I would love to masturbate with this girl, no degradation, etc.' I am even more free now. I don't even bother to download porn 'why ? It's going to be deleted. Let's just masturbate to something my mind can come up with'.

But this is fucking scary. Because I now HAVE to fill my life with stuff to do. I have to find some goals to look for. And getting rid of porn isn't helping at all regarding that. I am still scared like shit of life and responsibilities. So far, all I managed was to gather enought intellectual neuron to set up an d&d session. Yes, I am that fucked-up. But at least I am doing something that I enjoy and that isn't instant gratification. Talk about starting from day 1 like I was in elementary school (I am worse than that). Masturbating excessively(?) is seldom a problem. The cause of this behaviour is what should be found and dealt with. I hope it's going to be a much more rewarding problem to deal with than just 'stop downloading and archiving porn'.

Just wanted to keep you informed /fit/. If anything worth mentionning happens I'll let you know. I expect to fall back again at some point though. Who knows.

ps: And I found this on the intraweb:

Well congrats. It's nice to see people giving up their bad habits.

Tch, should have sent me the IFM folder.

Anyway, porn's easy to give up once you get a girl.

I am a girl and I would sooner kill you than give up my porn.

Not to say that I don't have the folder stashed away, it's just that I haven't opened it in like 5 or 6 months.

My girl actually goes through it, I found out the other day.

My ex-boyfriend was a 20-year-old virgin when I met him. He's never even been kissed.

He watched porn since he was 10 or 11 years old. All of that time, he conditioned himself to cum only from masturbating.

It took him about eight months of sex before cumming inside of me regularly. He still can't cum from a blowjob, even if I go on for about 45 minutes. Techniques included.

tl;dr Good job, it'll help with the lady friends.

Theres nothing wrong with masturbating, its natural to want to masturbate. Porn just speeds it up.

I find that the less porn I watch, the more I respect women. When I was a porn addict, the first thing that came to my mind when talking to girls was sex. Since I couldn't get any play on my own, I ended up paying for it. Now that I'm recovered, I actually care enough to want to get to know girls I meet. And sex is much better with fewer fap off sessions.

hey op

i am 21 year old virgin and i've always wanted to quit porn but i'm so afraid of deleting everything cause then i won't be able to bring my share ratio up for sites like cheggit and puretna. it's like i want to quit but i'm anticipating a return after my "break". so what should i do?

The guilt from pornography is just a conditioned thing. I once deleted my porn collection and I regret that more than ever masturbating.

What kind of requirements do they have? Is it really not possible to keep your ratio in the black just by continuing to seed for a while?

I masturbate to porn once or twice every day and my total collection is about 25GB. I know people who are far worse than me as far as porn goes but they're more normal than me so I'm not worried.

I see it like this: it's all in your head. At one point I thought I had a porn and masturbation addiction. However, I was simply just a guy who wanted to masturbate who had access to tons of porn. Especially at my (V&) age. Anyone would have done it as much as I have. I think the fact that I'm conscious about myself shows that I won't let myself get out of control.
I also see the " respect for women" thing as complete bullshit. You can't respect " women", you can respect individual women, but you cannot respect people who you don't know.

Also, I do understand that I'm doing quite a bit of justifying, but w/e. I just don't see my particular masturbation and porn habits as unhealthy. ( 1-2 times a day, about equal using imagination as using porn ).

>Whether they are fuckable or nonfuckable shouldn't be the only thing a man bothers to consider about women.

I do admit that I have done that before. I'm trying to come out of doing that.

You admit that that is somewhat a difficult thing to do, for both sexes.

You fucking nigger fucking faggots. Fuck this thread makes me sick. FUCKING NIGGERS JESSUS FUCK.

I watch 1 hour of porn a day. and masturbate thrice daily.

Anyone who thinks porn is bad, is a fucking idiot falling for femanizi bullshit. Seriously, are yo all 14 and afraid of mommy catching you.

Masturbating is healthy, and masturbating in excess is healthier.

Actually most feminsts, myself included, are trying to destroy the myth that porn is inherently harmful and dirty. Yes, a lot of it is degrading to women, but that's only because of the stigma attached to it and the way the industry is regulated.

I'm the chick who loves porn, btw...so inb4 girls hate porn.

Op here. I used to make a ton of fake account on puretna. Once the site told me I should seed and won't show my any torrents until my ratio is up again I just used mailinator or mintemail. Wait a while and tadaa you can download again. Of course you don't want to do that if reputation is important to you on that particular site.

If you think you have an addiction and are afraid to get rid of the substance.. well it's normal :) The substance is helping you in some ways (or at leat it was when it started to get out of hands). You can still try it and see what happens. Maybe you'll download stuff again.. so what? You'll quit again and adopt a different strategy (or learn about another problem that is leading you to porn). But maybe you don't have any problem at all with porn and masturbation. Maybe you masturbate once or twice a week and have 3gb of porn (which is nothing compared to 60gb I once had) and were just raised with the idea that porn an dmasturbation are the same thing and are immoral. Maybe you were raised to feel guilty about it even though you don't have any problems with it. The question is 'why do you want to quit ?' 'Why is it important?'. Anyway, I suggest to delete everything if you want to quit. Then if porn appears again, start all over again.

OP here.
Thanks for the feedback anon. I don't really know about masturbation addiction. I am making a difference between masturbation and collecting porn. I still masturbate (but less) and I think it's not unhealthy even though I am sure masturbation addiction exists and it can lead to porn addict. or the other way around. This his a compulsive behaviour and any individual would normaly be subject to more than one kind of addiction.

I don't want to bring the subject of feminism. But. There are different kind of porn: rape simulation, loli hentai, ifm, bondage, softcore, non-nude etc. All picturing differnt images of women. Depending on your background you are looking at some categories of porn for some reasons or another. Some of these clearly are not in favor of woman, are twisted, or perfectly fine. Respect for another human being or self-respect. It depends if porn (and not masturbation) has become a problem in your life or not. Unfortunately, once you want to get rid of the porn habit in your life one of the best way to do that is to completely get rid of ANY porn. You can't mix this new way of thinking (because it is) with thoughts such as 'porn is healthy because some of these women like it/are okay/ it's artsy soft core'. Not because it's true but because in the end it's still porn you are wasting time to look for and collect. It's not about porn nature, it's about you.

If you feel guilty to look at porn because you think it's degrading human beings just don't look at that kind of porn. It's much easier to quit porn because of that than because your life is fucked up, you are depressed, you have mental illness, etc. But then if you believe in what you think is respect or not and still can't give up porn.. that's when the real issue shows up, right ? And it has nothing to do with morale.

Fighting porn addiction (or any addiction I suppose) with the idea that "it's bad, not morale, or degrading women' and just with that is doomed to fail inevitably because this isn't the real problem.
