Tolerance break will help.
Edit: Can't believe some relevant experience is finally paying off.
Also can't believe my second most upvoted comment is about a tbreak from masterbating while I'm on pump #5. I've been up, for 4hrs.
Honestly I stopped watching porn for a while because of similar sentiment to OP. After about a week or so I masturbated again without porn. It sounds campy but reducing consumption would do loads for labido (pun intended)
Addiction doesn't work like that. They need to keep themselves busy instead. OP should make a post in this sub with the title "Can anyone explain how there are more than 2 genders?". That will keep them busy and distracted for the next 24 hours.
>only measured by ability to quit
The two signs of addiction are withdrawal and tolerance.
If you only watch porn once a week, I doubt you experience much of either.
The mental side of addiction is different. My mom drank once a week, she was an alcoholic. She looked forward to it all week, it was the only thing sometimes that kept her going. If she had to miss that one night her body would not have withdrawals but her mental state definitely did.
That’s actually impressive that she can stop herself after one day. Every alcoholic (including me) that I’ve ever met simply cannot stop after the first day. That one sip will turn into a 2-4 week bender. Fuck alcoholism. 10 months sober.
Congrats! My form of alcoholism, if you can call it that, is I’d go out every Friday and get blacked out drunk. Then my mental state would suffer, but I haven’t drank in 2-3 months. Sounds like you’re doing great, keep up the good fight!
Thank you. Every day is a battle. There is a quote I’d like to share, and believe it or not. It’s from Ben Affleck and he says this:
“The only real cure for alcoholism is suffering. You just hope that your threshold for suffering is met somewhere before it destroys your life.”
Those words I keep in my mind.
Heyyy you're awesome! That's no easy thing!!
Yeah different kind of alcoholic. I just wanted to point out it isn't always a physical addiction.
My dad on the other hand was drinking every day, so much we didn't even realize he was basically drunk all the time. Eventually it caught up to him and he lost his job, went to jail a short time, endangered himself and others... But he was able to eventually stop too! My mom had trouble with it because she had to give up her one day a week to help him stay sober.
They're good now.
I know that I have a habit to breath, with quite severe withdrawal symptoms when I stop. I never seem to quit more than one or two minutes.
Same with water, can't really stop drinking that stuff for more than one day and I already notice the withdrawal. Its really a strong habit.
Just kidding here, I understand what you mean.
I know you're kidding. I just want to add that this goes for non life essential things of course. And there are good and bad habits. The trick is to try to replace the bad ones into the good ones.
Neither of these are measured by volume.
If I drink 5 beers a night but could quit tommorow, I am not addicted. If I drink one beer a week but get physically sick and aggressive if I don't drink it I am addicted
I'm so happy that you paid attention in health class but if you seriously think that missing one beer when you only drink one beer a week would make you physically sick, well, you have no idea what you're talking about. If you're just using it as an example, then maybe use an example that makes sense.
Yup! There many different medium of porn and erotica that light up different parts of the brain.
Besides erotic novels, there are erotic short stories and erotic serialized short stories: r/erotica. There is Korean inspired erotic comics (vertical panels with dialogue, designed for phones): r/pornhwa. Both of these tend to focus on what leads up to the sex, which tends to build excitement (then xplicit sex.)
Then there just different things like still photos which engage the brain differently than videos: r/pornpics.
Then there are ~~fetishes~~ specialized/fetishized porn: r/freeuse, r/bdsm, r/yiff. There is also rule34 (everything can be porn): r/rule34 and subs dedicated to helping people find specific categories of specialized porn: r/NSFW411

You don't even really have to have an imagination. If your horny, your horny and should be able to reach orgasm. If not, then your probably just bored, not actually horny.
I've been where you've been. I know that feeling. As many have suggested try taking a break from pornography and more importantly understanding that pornography is not actual sex. What really broke my addiction was analyzing sexual dynamics, sex and objectification. After I understood how truly fake and banal a lot of pornography really is and how it portrays a stilted, juvenile and toxic power dynamic.
Where women are commodified and infantilized and men are demonized and shown as pathetic and exploitative.
It helped me come to terms with how cheap and fake it was and how it was insulting my intelligence and my sexuality.
But most importantly. It's very imperative that you get yourself out there. Talk to people, if not possible in person, than online. You're 18, try talking to other young people who are also exploring their sexuality. I mean Dirtyr4r and DirtyPenPals is all about that sort of thing. Talk to real people, and make connections.
It's not even remotely easy in real life if you're an introverted shut in like me. But if you have an extroverted friend. You can go along with them and meet new people and the more practice that you get, the more confident you'll be and the less you'll worry about how you're percieved. Because no one remembers your most embarassing moments as frequently and as fearfully as you do. Realizing that you really don't stick around in people's minds as much as you thought is a freeing thing.
Most importantly, don't interact with someone in hopes of getting laid or in a relationship. Level with them as you would with a platonic friend. And get to know them if they wish to share themselves. You'd be surprised by how much people might share when they have someone to listen. Good day and Good luck!
I hope that OP finds something worthwhile in what I wrote. I know their addiction all too well. NoFap is no solution. They don't even get to the root of the problem.
This really should be the top comment.
I did want to add that I agree with you on the porn thing when it comes to most porn but I have recently done a lot of research on "ethical porn" and it's not the easiest to find but there is definitely porn out there that is much more realistic, non abusive and healthier than the mainstream stuff that most people watch. After watching a couple documentaries and hearing first hand accounts of people's experiences in the mainstream porn industry I found it extremely difficult to enjoy any of those videos.
It's important to remember that porn is entertainment, just like movies and TV shows. For some reason we have no problem separating movies from real life but seem to get confused when it comes to porn.
It's actually crazy how common it is for people (mostly teenagers and young adults) to think that porn portrays what real sex is like because that's where they have gotten the majority of their information about sex from. I was one of those kids at one point. Now I would love to create porn that is more about sexual education.
>I have recently done a lot of research on "ethical porn" and it's not the easiest to find but there is definitely porn out there that is much more realistic, non abusive and healthier than the mainstream stuff that most people watch.
Oh yes absolutely, How else do I take care of my hormonal needs 💀 🖐. I just wanted OP to figure that out for themselves and work on actually building connections with real people primarily. But maybe I should have mentioned this too. But I feel like they should first understand why ethical porn exists and to do that they have to introspect on why mainstream porn is so fucked up. But yes, great point.
Shouldn't this be the top comment? Reddit is wierd...
Get a gf/bf or whatever you are into. Porn sucks compared to the real thing. Don't be an incel...
I think the main point against this is that if they're desensitized then they might have issues when being with a woman and that might lead to further issues with confidence/performance. Real sex isn't anything like most porn so if they're only able to get off to porn they need to take a break and also use it much less when they resume. Ultimately finding a partner is a good solution long term though.
You don't get to choose to be incel. The whole definition about an incel is he can't get a girl even if he tried hard, if he doesn't want to get a girlfriend then he'd be a volcel.
This sounds like you’re struggling with porn addiction, which is a legitimate addiction and can seriously negatively impact IRL sexual relationships in the future. I would highly recommend that you stop watching porn.
If OP would like to have intercourse with human women one day, the expectations he has from porn are going to leave him disappointed, potentially expecting unrealistic things or behaving in a way that actual human women are not impressed by.
You quit. I was in your situation and I ended up watching shit im ashamed to admit. From what i hear it varies from person to person but porn fucked me up
This is what happens to your brain when you become a porn addict and eventually just get either burned out or go too far and want something new:
Your brain has destroyed so many neural pathways that it's struggling to make new ones. Drop porn completely and everything sexual related. Your future 20 something self will thank you, as will your testosterone levels and mind.
Look into how porn affects your brain long term.
If you haven't already, then why not consider finding/ developing alternative sources of pleasure. For example, physical activities, get a new hobby, socialising more, building projects etc etc. Not only can these potentially provide long term personal development but it also may take the focus off that one thing.
Honestly I think quitting porn in general will help. This doesn’t mean you need to quit masturbation but you’re a clear porn addict. You might slip up sometimes but don’t let that spiral you down it again. This will be healthy for you, you’re not the only one dealing with this but if you don’t get on fixing it now, your future intimate relationships will suffer. This is just a guess but I’m sure being burnt out means you’ve probably watched some major hardcore stuff already trying to find anything to get you off, this is a bad sign. Try taking a break or preferably quitting for good (I know that’s easier said than done) I’m rooting for you :)
Before I make my full assessment. I must ask you OP, is your porn viewing and masturbation intervene with your daily life? For example: does masturbating make you late for work, school, etc? If not, going against this whole comment section. You do not have an addiction. To be honest, 4 times a week for a young man such as yourself is actually pretty healthy. Most teens would do more than that in a day.
People are not considering the fact that sometimes, porn/Hentai just gets boring in general. Just like most things in life, sometimes, we get burnt out in general with certain activities, especially if with porn, you’re watching the same genre of pornography every time.
Without any knowledge of whether your porn schedule intervene with your day-to-day. I don’t think you’re addicted. For your burnt out issue, I do recommend taking a break from your usual viewings and specifically cut down on the Hentai viewing since it is highly unrealistic unlike amateur porn. Try something different that you may end up enjoying to diversify your palette. For example: any kinks you wanna explore more into, check it out, give it a spin. Or, do my personal favorite, try using your imagination more. It’s almost like your own personal video. See some girl you thought was hot that random day, sure, put her in and make whatever scenario you want in your head.
You’re 18 and a man. 90% of men are very horny on a daily basis at that age. As long as you’re not being a creep about it, you’re fine.
As a now m50 year old, I was daily masturbator back in the 1980s. Back then we had to either jerk off to a magazine or more commonly our own imaginations. My suggestion is to maybe have a short break and then see if you can spank one out using only your imagination.
Therapy. As a woman who dated a man who was addicted to porn. I never want to date someone like that again. It affected their sex drive so frequency was severely lacking. Performance was much worse than ex’s that were not addicted to porn.
Look in to porn addiction. All this advice about finding a girl is nice and all, but if you are a porn addict, you will destroy yourself + your relationship over time.
Exactly, so many comments saying he needs to find a girlfriend but that relationship would just fall apart if he doesn’t get his addiction under control first :(
The best advice is what everyone is saying: give it a break for a week or something.
My bad advice is this though: use different (but safe as posible) websites. I vary from PornHub for your regular stuff, Chaturbate for something a bit more exciting knowing that its live, and that you can get one guy give a 500 tip and get that toy vibrating at any time (not most of the time though), 4chan for something random, as long as you ignore all the trolls (which are a lot), you can always find something hot af on there, or even on the NSFW pages here on Reddit. I've made a secondary account just to follow all the pages I like and just have fun. Variety is the spice of life.
As others have said, your dopamine receptors have become desensitized over time. It may be helpful for you to see an AASECT-certified (or whatever the equivalent is in your country) sexologist/therapist. Watching porn to that level can negatively impact sexual relationships in real-life.
As others here have already mentioned, try quitting porn for a couple of weeks. Personally, this has helped me (28m) a lot, to the point where I'm almost free from it.
Good luck 🤞

Bing answer: "Download Tor to access the dark web ;) "
Bummer man, I'm so sorry. You obviously know how great sex is, but a little self control goes a long way. In all things. You are so young to be this used up and jaded already!
Just give it a rest. You're probably overdoing it. Fill that time with something else, like learning a new hobby. Chances are if you aren't getting into it, you don't need to be doing it anyways, so as long as you can resist the urge for a day or two it generally becomes easier, and when you do go back to it it'll be more pleasant.
Your still young go try and find some experiences out in the world reset your brain and I don't mean finding sex, go to a different country, meet new people etc.
You’re going to escalate to next level, and then next, and then next because you might be addicted to porn. Find hobbies, quit social media for a while. Seek help before it damages your sexual life.
Literally the answer is take a break. For a while. Then do it. But yeah you gotta stop looking at the stuff for a bit. You can come back to it some day though
Real talk, just don’t watch porn. Be horny and if you can wank without it, do it. Live life and meet real people and have imagination fueled fantasies. Etc
try out something different that engages your brain as well. Like look for "almost porn", suggestive images that don't show nudity, movies about seduction or teasing. Watch older porn movies and challenge yourself not jerk off until the movie is over. Try jerking to the memory of your favorite porn. Look for stuff you hadn't before ( I really got into women masturbating alone for a while or even panty play).
And if possible go to a strip club or hire an escort.
Damn bro you watch 8 minute of porn a week for 4 years and you’re already bored??? Back in my day we would jerk it to the same picture of a random model from sports illustrated. And much more than 4 times a week, pathetic.
Quit porn for a week or two. Only release when you are horny, not because you are bored
Your second sentence there is extremely important and everyone needs to know it.
Try gay porn
Its something different for sure

Found imagination porn was more exciting than watching it.
Honestly I stopped watching porn for a while because of similar sentiment to OP. After about a week or so I masturbated again without porn. It sounds campy but reducing consumption would do loads for labido (pun intended)
medical porn!
No! I say double your wanking!
Pump up my numbers you say?
4 times a week? Thats rookie numbers
5-8 /day.
“My teenager is always in the bathroom using lotion. I don’t know why he needs such soft hands for Airsoft.”
Tell him to switch to Avon Skin So Soft. Way less needed.
Just quit wanking for a while. Porn detox
Addiction doesn't work like that. They need to keep themselves busy instead. OP should make a post in this sub with the title "Can anyone explain how there are more than 2 genders?". That will keep them busy and distracted for the next 24 hours.
Only 4 times a week isnt addiction.
Once a week can be addiction. Addiction is only measured by ability to quit, not by volume
>only measured by ability to quit The two signs of addiction are withdrawal and tolerance. If you only watch porn once a week, I doubt you experience much of either.

Functioning addict ;)
Withdrawal is not a necessary symptom, usually the case but not always
It can be habit-forming
So can over-eating. Doesn’t mean that eating a normal amount is bad
I know that I have a habit to breath, with quite severe withdrawal symptoms when I stop. I never seem to quit more than one or two minutes. Same with water, can't really stop drinking that stuff for more than one day and I already notice the withdrawal. Its really a strong habit. Just kidding here, I understand what you mean.
I know you're kidding. I just want to add that this goes for non life essential things of course. And there are good and bad habits. The trick is to try to replace the bad ones into the good ones.

I think it’s also about how much it affects your daily life.

That will just add fuel to the fire lmao but reading erotica will really spark your imagination. OP needs to stop wanking for a week or so
[удалено]
Literotica was a great one back in the day, they have a few hood free stories now.
Switch to using your imagination if you are at all creative
This is the best advice. Quit watching porn. You can still jerk off, but use your imagination instead.
You don't even really have to have an imagination. If your horny, your horny and should be able to reach orgasm. If not, then your probably just bored, not actually horny.

I mean for some people it ain't that easy tho lmfao, if anything you can pay a hooker
4 times a week. I can do that in 1 night depending on how sad I am
When i was that age, it was wake, wank, and bedtime wank or two every day. Surprised my willy didn't fall off.
I don't usually wank in the morning. I only wank a bunch when I am depressed. Bad habit since I am sad like 90% of the time.
This sounds like you’re struggling with porn addiction, which is a legitimate addiction and can seriously negatively impact IRL sexual relationships in the future. I would highly recommend that you stop watching porn.

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those up!
Not really tbh
go touch grass instead of yourself for once

Therapy. As a woman who dated a man who was addicted to porn. I never want to date someone like that again. It affected their sex drive so frequency was severely lacking. Performance was much worse than ex’s that were not addicted to porn.
Look in to porn addiction. All this advice about finding a girl is nice and all, but if you are a porn addict, you will destroy yourself + your relationship over time.
Exactly, so many comments saying he needs to find a girlfriend but that relationship would just fall apart if he doesn’t get his addiction under control first :(
Find a girlfriend
Lol trying too
Step one quit porn
You're addicted to the point of being bored by it, it's pretty bad my dude.

Stop watching porn! You're Gona ruin sex for yourself!
Stop it all together, porn is poison.
Put those fingers up your ass! All those fingers up your ass?! ALL THEM FINGERS UP DAT ASS!
The best advice is what everyone is saying: give it a break for a week or something. My bad advice is this though: use different (but safe as posible) websites. I vary from PornHub for your regular stuff, Chaturbate for something a bit more exciting knowing that its live, and that you can get one guy give a 500 tip and get that toy vibrating at any time (not most of the time though), 4chan for something random, as long as you ignore all the trolls (which are a lot), you can always find something hot af on there, or even on the NSFW pages here on Reddit. I've made a secondary account just to follow all the pages I like and just have fun. Variety is the spice of life.
stop watching porn. it rots your mind and destroys your ability for healthy sexual relationships.
+1
Porn addiction is a thing. Stop now before you can't stop yourself
As others have said, your dopamine receptors have become desensitized over time. It may be helpful for you to see an AASECT-certified (or whatever the equivalent is in your country) sexologist/therapist. Watching porn to that level can negatively impact sexual relationships in real-life.
Have sex.
Easier said than done 😭
As others here have already mentioned, try quitting porn for a couple of weeks. Personally, this has helped me (28m) a lot, to the point where I'm almost free from it. Good luck 🤞
Buy a cheap mountainbike and explore the forrest
Go out and get laid
It feels so hard to do that man 😭

I ran out of straight porn and had to start watching gay porn. I just imagine it’s two guys who got to the threesome really early
Touch some grass
4 times a week? Those are amateur numbers
Bummer man, I'm so sorry. You obviously know how great sex is, but a little self control goes a long way. In all things. You are so young to be this used up and jaded already!
pogs
Get a fun hobby like fishing or mountain biking or anything that makes you have fun and get outside!
Time to take a break. The road you are on could get pretty dark. Slow down.
Dude I promise you take a couple weeks to a month off and your next nut will be incredible
Four times a week? Rookie numbers. I do that before breakfast.
NoFap is what u need
find some pussy bro
4 times a week.... those are rookie numbers!
4 times a week? Them is rookie numbers!
Find a real person for sex, stop the porn for a few weeks/months
Read instead of watch porn - literotica is a nice goto
Start running 🏃♂️
Just give it a rest. You're probably overdoing it. Fill that time with something else, like learning a new hobby. Chances are if you aren't getting into it, you don't need to be doing it anyways, so as long as you can resist the urge for a day or two it generally becomes easier, and when you do go back to it it'll be more pleasant.
man has never felt the touch of a woman
Time for tranny anal train action. chicks with dicks! the best of both worlds!
Quit watching porn
Your still young go try and find some experiences out in the world reset your brain and I don't mean finding sex, go to a different country, meet new people etc.
Stop watching porn and pursue something more worthwhile like actual sex.
You’re going to escalate to next level, and then next, and then next because you might be addicted to porn. Find hobbies, quit social media for a while. Seek help before it damages your sexual life.
lol you won't die if you stop
Porn addiction is a real thing. You are young but it will effect your life and relationships when you get older.
Use imagination. You are beginning an addiction that is bad. Watching porn is not bad, but wanting it and craving it all the time is.
Maybe try flirting with women
Literally the answer is take a break. For a while. Then do it. But yeah you gotta stop looking at the stuff for a bit. You can come back to it some day though
Real talk, just don’t watch porn. Be horny and if you can wank without it, do it. Live life and meet real people and have imagination fueled fantasies. Etc
Stop rotting your brain and find a real partner. You're sick.
Penguins... Try Penguins...
try out something different that engages your brain as well. Like look for "almost porn", suggestive images that don't show nudity, movies about seduction or teasing. Watch older porn movies and challenge yourself not jerk off until the movie is over. Try jerking to the memory of your favorite porn. Look for stuff you hadn't before ( I really got into women masturbating alone for a while or even panty play). And if possible go to a strip club or hire an escort.
Something something reddit constantly saying theres nothing wrong with abusing pron and masturbation
Go get laid
Get a girlfriend and make your own porn.
Holy shit y didn’t I think of that lmao
Find a girl. I am not saying to have sex. You will know how wholesome your life is when you start chatting with a girl.
Best part is without abstinence you aint gonna even froth on any pussy you might get your hands on, your dick won't work buddy ahahah
Damn bro you watch 8 minute of porn a week for 4 years and you’re already bored??? Back in my day we would jerk it to the same picture of a random model from sports illustrated. And much more than 4 times a week, pathetic.
Do you have a minute to jerk instead of me
You are considerably a sex addict. I’d figure out how to not be hyper focused on sex or porn.
Go back to the basic. Vintage. Don't skip.
