/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

>>139962
Work and work out. Find something to do away from the computer. That's how I kicked my habit.

>>139962
Anon here is crying out for Shimmer porn.

>>139962
Why would you want to overcome a porn addiction? It's one of the less harmful kinds of addictions, especially given the fact that you're not going to escape addiction to something.

>>139964
But when I get home from work it's the same problem
>>139966
It's hardly different than drug addiction. It's also sinful

>>139969
I try to read the bible before bed when I'm most tempted. That and keeping myself busy with projects.

>>139969
Work longer, harder, and exercise a lot. No half-measures go until exhaustion. You will be too tired to fap. If still want to fap do push ups and sit ups.

Self-discipline is the first step. If you feel yourself touching yourself than consciously stop and steer your thoughts from whatever caused it.

Lots of prayer and meditation helps too.

>>139969
What the fuck OP? Why would you post this, sigh.
>unzips pants
Well, guys, here goes another 1Month NoFap fail.

>>139977
How do I get self-discipline?

>>139983
It's not something you simply "learn," it has to be practiced. Doing things like going to bed early, exercising, and taking a cold shower help.

>>139983
It comes with practice. Just don't give in, and try to find something else to do to take you mind of it.

What does "porn addiction" mean to people? I usually masturbate twice a day but each time for less than five minutes, so it's no problem. Do people with "porn addiction" masturbate for hours at a time? Is that what makes it a problem?

>>139962
It's a positive feedback loop and you'll feel the effects diminish over time. Eventually you'll just start jerking off (if you haven't already) so that you don't feel like overstressed/over-aroused.

Try finding other, more productive outlets to relax. Cut down the masturbation in fractions. If you do it four times a day, do it twice a day. Then eventually once from there. You'll never be able to remove your conditioned reaction to it, but you can sort of "detox" yourself from relying on it completely.

>>139988
Anything becomes an addiction when you end up relying on it to the point where not having it leaves a significant, negative impact on your life. You could masturbate five times a day and be fine as long as you could go a few days without doing it more than once or twice, and not having a significantly-worsened life during that time period.

>>139966
Your digits betray your post. Porn addiction is one of the worst ones out there. Addiction is how one degenerates to worse and harder things to keep up that "high" you get. This is how the more fucked up fetishes gather more and more people.

stopped fapping. wish i still had my old stuff.

>>140001
This. You can even (especially) get addicted to the reinforcing effects of food.

>>139985
>>139986
Any advise on how to stop feeling like pic related?

>>139989
The problem is being on 4chan and viewing sexual images by accident which start a chain reaction. I have to give up imageboards but it's all I know

>>140011
Find your talent and work at. Little bit each day at least.

>>140011
I am not sure, for me it went away after a long time (but could probably have gone that way sooner, but more about that later). I still wish I found a hobby I really enjoyed doing, but I think I have started to figure some things out. Then again my shyness and introvert demeanor don't help when it comes to socializing and trying out things.
One thing I can suggest it to try some medicine, as it helped me; took forever to get an appointment with doctor that were allowed to actually prescribe (many years), but that is socialized-healthcare for you.
I've heard many people dislike anti-depressants because they go in with the notion that it is a "happy pill", and they don't become instant happy. You just become less depressed, and for lack of better word get less emotions. And some complain that you loose sex drive. But for me it was not that big change from normal. I don't tend to have big emotions, or "sex drive", so it was just less depressing. But it have helped as I am no longer in the runt I was in, took 6 months to a year so it is not an instant fix. Also if you smoke and drink (weed, tobacco, alcohol) stopping is not a bad idea. It is only a temporary solution and it don't bring happiness you only become more reclusive.
But this is only my take on it, and from my perspective.

>>139962
How old are you, OP? You tend to fap a lot through your teens and early 20s because that's the prime breeding age and there's nothing wrong with that. It's your biological imperative screaming for you to pass your genes on, you'll start fapping a whole lot less as you get older and your sex drive starts to fade unless you're super virile or some. In which case you have my sympathy.

>>140029
Not OP, but I take a mix of pride and shame in my slightly above average size and excessive virility. And porn addiction, even after 20, is still rough as ever.

>>140031
Porn addiction is the result of social isolation and lack of opportunity to put your sexual energy towards its proper use, that being having a child, there's really nothing you can do until your sex drive is blunted by age. Anything you can do is just going to be a holding action at best, that's not to discourage you from trying to kick the habit, but don't wind up despising yourself because of it. A healthy sex drive is normal, it's only when you get to the point where you're fapping multiple times in a short window very frequently that it's a real problem.

>>140011
I also feel this way, every day is agony.
It feels like I become more and more isolated with every passing day. I have nothing in common with the few people I know. I can't go into public without feeling absolute disgust with the people I see. My thoughts torture me daily, I can't remember the last time I was remotely happy. I feel like I need "help", but I know if I tried to talk to a doctor it would be some kike who would send me to an institution and drug me.
I find that solitude in nature helps though. It's good to unplug once in a while and think. I also have found cooking to be peaceful.
Perhaps looks for some new hobies like >>140023 suggested.
Also here's a song.

>muh dick

What are you talking about?, I came here since the first week of the site and i never became a porn addict.

>>139962

if you are actually serious abouttrying to cope with a porn addiction i fear you are shit pout of luck on this board, son.

MLPOL uses Porn as content, currency and utility for different purposes. I fear this site could existentially not be if we would not have this multi purpose tool.

FAP TO PONIES!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of existential crisis.
You might wanna ride our other attractions as well, existential fear and depression.

This is why you need religion in your life anon, humans are not meant to live whitout 'magic'

>This is why you need religion in your life anon, humans are not meant to live whitout 'magic'
I wish I could believe I really do, but I have no reason to believe in a god of any kind.

>>140059
This. Give me one good reason I should believe in any kind of higher power that actually gives a fuck.

>>140059
>but I have no reason to believe in a god of any kind
It may make everything easier.
You have been blackpilled so anything supernatural is just bullshit.
To suddenly realize we are meatshacks, living to die whitout a purpose, that's a big hit; Specially looking at society.
Meditate, that helps, if that doesn't work, remember every day you are getting closer to the sweet release of death, so, try to enjoy your stay, it's temporary.

>>140064
>It may make everything easier.
I'm sure it would, but I can't make myself believe something without evidence.

>>140059
>>140063
>>140065
I recommend reading accounts of the Christian saints, particularly the martyrs. It takes fortitude to face suffering and death for a cause greater than oneself. Hopefully knowing about your ancestors will encourage you to embody the same ideals.

Just watched this tiny four video playlist named "Fundamental Doctrines of Christianity" made by TheIdahoanShow, and found it really good.

Maps of Meaning made me believe in the bible which made me believe in God

>>140011
Yes Anon, get reading.

>>140065
>>140063
It doesn't matter if God exists or not, Anon.
God, god it's an idea that unites us as humans, making us stronger while protecting us from the sad route of merely existing.
If we ever prove there are other realms, then the implications would be far greater.

Please take your missionary shit somewhere else. OP clearly has no interest in any religion.

>>140335
I'm not Christian anon, I'm just saying believing in something greater is a basic need, just like food and shelter.

>>139962
A girl to spend your sex drive with.

>>140462
That girl is not going to be as sexy as Sunset Shimmer in the OP though, no matter what

>>139962
You work out and refuse to fap more than once every 2 days. When you fap, you reject porn and use your underused imagination.

>>139962
Hehehe, "clearly". >>139969 "It's also sinful" But yes one should try to stay on thread topic.

It is good that you have realized that you have a problem. I have the same problem. The best results I have had are when I have gone completly cold turkey. I continuesly move away my hands from touching myself. The first few days were tough. One day I had to stop my self so many times but after a while the withdrawl noticably decreases and if I hadn't become to sure of my self at the end of the week I thin it would have lasted longer.

Since I am fighting with this myself I don't really have more advice to give then some of the ones that have already been presented by others on this thread. But something that i have noticed resently is that it is easier, at least it feels so for me, to deal with if you see it as a challange and that you sort of fight against it and get mad.

Hope this helps and take pride in the fact that you try to quit. And don't do as I and read this as, "Then I can reward myself by a quick peek"

Also, are you cr? You don't have to answer but you both are from canada and like sunset. You have great taste in pone btw.

This is a nice post, thanks. Yea that's me, am j so obvious? I guess there's only one shim-loving leaf on this board. I don't know if I'm going to stay here because I do consider my problem a serious issue. It's a real shame because the post quality is so much higher. I might find a way to block images or something. My only concern about going cold turkey is it doesn't necessarily mean improvement, it just lowers the exposure. In my experience it leads to terrible relapse, and what's more reliable is gaining willpower and discipline.

>>140725
Well Anon, I agree, but! I think I have a solution!
Ever consider taking HRT and becoming the man you could never be? (as a man?)

Internet porn is so hard to quit because looking for it feels like going on an expedition and it's an ever expanding frontier. If you didn't come here, you'd see it somewhere else.
