I think Quesadilla made a pretty good post I'd follow his advice if I was in your shoes. Also if you're looking for something to do that would be constructive, maybe join the fitness initiative that Energies has created over in General. Physical activity ups your endorphins making you feel happier, and you'll feel better about yourself if you're fitter, both physically and mentally.
Their are four errors in this sentance.

Actually I can relate to this thread a whole lot more than I'd want to, and even more than I'd ever admit personally. But I'm on the rising, getting out of the black hole.
The trick is to learn to like yourself (how was already covered by previous posts) - it'll shine through you, take away fear and add selfconfidence. That's a much greater position to turn your life around in terms of getting out, get a gf, experience your own stories and live a normal life.

A quote that just came to my mind - felt like sharing it, since it relates to the topic (imho):
The notebook
I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one aspect I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul. And for me that has always been enough.

Yes, they will tell you in any rehab program that the best way to break a habit is to form a new (hopefully positive) habit.
How do you think drug addicts start with 'gateway drugs' like weed and work their way into heroine junkies? They fill old hobbies with new ones, of course its easy to kick alcohol when you've got cocaine to fill the void.

also, I have heard that it takes on average 21 days to break a habit cold turkey.

I watch porn plenty and so does my gf, sometimes we watch it together. Its great. Sometimes I can even get her to try the shit the chicks are doing in the videos.
I could probably say I am addicted to it, but I don't think its a bad/detrimental addiction in my case. Some days/weeks I have other shit to do and totally forget about it. Other days I can't stop watching throughout the day. I think its just the nature of the human sex drive. It comes and goes for me.


PS- I think its absurd when people quit porn. I just can't understand the logic. There is really nothing to gain from it. Unless of course you are a chronic m-bater and it is ruining your life. My friend recently got his first girlfriend and he deleted all his porn then proceeded to tell me it is pollution and blah blah. So after some ridiculing I googled it. I found mostly religious people on youtube talking about quitting it etc. Personally I think it's just weak minded people who let themselves be consumed by it and it's the same weak minded people who have to quit it. That's probably not a good theory though because you could say that about anything really. I mean anything can be an addiction right? Hell I live/ate/breathed SC 5-6 years ago and it totally owned my life.

But with something like porn, It is just so manditory. I think of it like food or water. It is just a lesser necessity in life.

Top4 living requirements in order:
Air
Water
Food
Reproduction

So since we aren't savages going around fucking any random women, it is a required release imo. Otherwise you're gonna have a bunch of angry males all over the place. Just look at most serial killers, they are usually antisocial guys who never got laid. The releases are needed otherwise your animal instincts of proving yourself in one way or the other (being argumentative, fighting, etc) are going to take over.

edit- Also, Too much of a good thing is usually a bad thing. All things should be done/used in moderation. Hell, even too much water can kill you.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Thanks for all the helpful responses and advice guys. There are some things I initially wanted to respond to, but in most cases I think that thank you will suffice, and in the others, I'm too tired to do any internet warrioring. I posted the blog partly to get out my thoughts, and also so maybe that people might reexamine their own lives and habits. I don't think porn is morally wrong (although the exploitative hardcore stuff is pretty dehumanizing) nor do I think the internet is inherently bad and addictive. Ultimately each person has to examine for themselves what is a problem for them or not.
