No-more-porn July Beginners
Hi Everyone,

I am really glad that I came across this forum. I have been a porn addict since last 10 years and have GBs of porn storage. I used to be a brilliant student, but this addiction feels like have eaten me up. I don't get any innovative hobby ideas, that I used to sprout with, my social life is very low and I have turned into a total introvert.

I tried giving up porn in past, but have failed. I am starting this thread to track my progress to give up porn for next 60 days starting today July 9 2012. I would welcome other starters to join me. I am not continuing on the other thread, as there are no more new starters on the thread

Will keep posting my updates on this thread.

Thanks,
- BB
Also I would love to listen tips experienced No-Porners have to share to control myself when the spike in desire comes up.

RE: No-more-porn July Beginners
Good to see another starter! I would suggest you keep yourself distracted. Play an instrument, play a sport, etc. Do something productive and don't ever let boredom hit you. I've had a lot of people over lately and I feel it makes it harder to masturbate. As my social interactions increase, my urges decrease.

Thinking about how different my habits are also motivates me to kee pushing forward.

If you have any spare time, do something productive.

I'm ten days clean, thank goodness. I'll also say that it gets easier to say no. There are still fluctuations in urges, but it gets easier in the long run.

Good luck.
Also, I accidentally rated this thread two stars. Sorry, it's hard to maneuver on my cell phone. Sorry about that Sad.

RE: No-more-porn July Beginners
The idea of a mega thread is that old and new will be doing the challenge together in the same thread. It frees up the Lifestyle forum from having a dozen active threads about not masturbation sitting at the top all the time.

Yes there are a lot of old timers who are still part of the challenge but you are mistaken about no new participants. Every month there are 4-6 posts by new users who are just starting out. Since I joined the challenge(about 2.5months ago), there have probably been a dozen new people joining in.

RE: No-more-porn July Beginners
Count me in. I'm currently at 9 days without porn/masturbation and counting.

By the way, I also think there is no need for a separate thread. Maybe someone (Mark or whoever has the permissions to do so) can merge this into the general no-porn thread.

I'm sexy and I know it

Ghe, I'd like to point out the no-more-porn thread at the top of this forum. Also : Delete your porn man. It helps.

RE: No-more-porn July Beginners
Alright, today is the day I start this thing myself. Looking back I notice I've lost a lot in terms of grades and productivity in life overall cause I spent so much time watching porn. I just deleted all the porn I had on my hard-drive, so lets see how this goes.

RE: No-more-porn July Beginners
Been at it over three weeks and I can now say its starting to work!

I'm noticing all kinds of women.
I'm able to start and hold conversation without clamming up
Able to hold eye contact
Increased desire to go out and meet women
I have had sex!

Wicked! Might see if I can leave it out forever.

RE: No-more-porn July Beginners
I have been off porn for nearly 2 weeks its fucking great feel so alive and full of energy like I can conquer the whole world. The times I felt like wanking of to porn is when I felt like shit, lonely, angry at women because I felt they didnt want to meet or date me. Since I have been working on my self esteem I have much less of a desire to look at porn. More importantly I have learned to divert my sexual energy into more productive things in my life.

RE: No-more-porn July Beginners
You guys can count me in also, I'm currently on day 12 on no porn / masturbation. A couple good sites and places to use and get motivated are chains.cc (has group for "No fapping", plus you can track your progress.) and http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/

So far it's been great. I read more books, less internet usage and productive. But I'm not sure if it's due to no masturbation as I started new goals before, but didn't really initiate till I started 12 days ago. I am also attempting meditation.
