How to Quit Porn Forever

Importance of Quitting Porn

• Watching porn regularly disrupts the dopamine reward system in the brain.
• Dopamine is crucial for motivation and zest for life.
• Poor dopamine function can lead to a lack of motivation in achieving goals, socializing, and other essential life activities.
• Full commitment is necessary to successfully quit porn.

Tips for Quitting Porn

1. Identify Your Triggers

• Understand what leads you to watch porn:
  • Where are you?
  • What are you doing?
  • How do you feel?
• Common triggers may include:
  • Boredom
  • Seeing provocative images on social media (e.g., Instagram)
  • Being home alone

2. Seek Replacement Activities

• Engage in alternative activities when triggered, such as:
  • Going for a run
  • Calling a friend
  • Working out
• The goal is to reprogram your mind to opt for another activity instead of watching porn.

3. Make Porn Inaccessible

• Steps to make access more difficult include:
  • Unfollow provocative social media accounts.
  • Install browser extensions like StayFocused to block porn sites.
• This reduces visual triggers and makes accessing porn more challenging.

4. Understand the Negative Effects

• Realize the detrimental impact of porn:
  • Desensitizes you to sex, requiring more stimuli for arousal.
  • Weakens signals of arousal, leading to potential erectile dysfunction (ED).
• Statistics show increasing ED rates, especially among young men:
  • 1 in 4 new ED patients is under 40 years old.
