I've lost track of time. I've been addicted to porn for 6 years or more. I hate how I can't control myself. I hate it so fucking much. Why do I stop doing things I enjoy just to masturbate? It doesn't even feel good anymore. It's horrible. I feel disgusting. I hate how deep I've gotten into it. I hate the stuff I masturbate to. I don't recognize myself. I do it 3 to 4 times a day, every day. Can you believe it? That's about 90-120 times a month, 1095-1460 times a year. Why? Why can't I stop? I don't like it. I don't feel any pleasure from it anymore. It feels more like a chore than a relief. I would rather be addicted to alcohol or drugs at this point. That way I could be at least killing myself slowly while enjoying it. I hate myself for this. Why can't I be normal? If I had spent all the time I wasted on this addiction doing something else, I could've become a decent human being. This is a disgrace. I'm a disgrace. I wish I could end it all as soon as possible.

"I'm disgusting" → feeling terrible → using porn again to escape → feeling even worse.

No matter how much I hate it, the cycle just continues...

Yeah, it's awful. I feel like my use is relatively vanilla and moderate, but it's still been thousands of times. Can't be good for your mind. I got weird in different ways during my long periods of abstaining, but it felt better. Just don't have the willpower usually.

If I could abstain myself for a single day it would already be a success to me, to be honest.

I did 200 this year on a religious kick. Did 500+ secular like a decade ago. Hard to believe how little my mind has changed/improved since then. Youth ends.

I'm sorry, I talked about this in another thread so I'll just copy and paste the answer I gave, I don't wish to make you feel bad or anything but it is the truth about the industry more or less. This type of thought that I described below helped me go vegan a while ago.

"If you want to stop, you should realise that most of the material you use comes from women who were pitted to do it against their will, filmed rape or if it's fictional , it's made by people who have fantasies about rape or worse. This is true in too big of a proportion and the problem is that the material that is genuine let's say, that is consensual, that is non problematic, is published on the same websites where rape, incest and pedophilia is promoted.

Start having empathy for women, they are not objects. Overcome this addiction by becoming a better person and seeing the perspective of others instead of yourself, it's a virtue that is hard to come by, empathy.

Just because you have this addiction now, doesn't mean it was always meant to be, maybe it was societal influence that made you this way, a poor family home, depression, your colleagues, maybe you were abused in a way. Try to be a better person by limiting your access to these things, try to see this from the eyes of these women but not because they could be family/friends or that you could be these women; but from the perspective that these women just are, they exist out there in the world and just like every person on this planet, every living being on this planet, they have/had (unfortunately many lose every ounce of hope) their own hopes and dreams regardless if they are related to you by blood or by gender or by hobbies or by anything.

You can overcome this but it needs to be out of a place of empathy. Just like you might be depressed, misunderstood and alone, think about how these women feel when the sex work industry is pushed as a norm, where being coerced by capitalism to do stuff like this is the norm. Where it's portrayed as empowerment, it isn't, it's a degradation of your body for the sake of others who get off from seeing it, who wish they were there to use you as an object.

Out of the absurd, a question. Do you wish that you were in the situation of raping women or degrading them like in the material you consume (assuming you see these types of things since they are the norm)? of overpowering them? If you'd find a man on the street doing the same stuff to a woman or a child, what would you do? If you were drafted in a war, would you rape? would you stand by idly as other men rape women and children? Film it? If not, if what I typed goes against what you believe, try to find empathy.

One more thing, if this seemed absurd to you, if this seemed unhinged, the reality, the truth, understand that 70-80% of the men that I've talked to when I was a teenager/young adult and that are adults right now, past their 25's; were salivating at the mouth thinking about how it would be to be in these situations as the man overpowering the woman, of raping women and even children if they could, they were even talking about trying to do it to our girl colleagues or their own sisters/cousins.

What was learned can be unlearned, you can be a better person. hopefully, you see that too."

It's completely okay! Thank you for taking your time to reply.

"If you want to stop, you should realise that most of the material you use comes from women who were pitted to do it against their will, filmed rape or if it's fictional , it's made by people who have fantasies about rape or worse.
I believe this too. Seeing people defend these fantasies is something that always bothered me.

Empathy is what I value most in my life, it feels like the one thing I can offer others without becoming a burden. I just never applied it to my addictions because, most of the times, I see them as some kind of self-punishment.

Do you wish that you were in the situation of raping women or degrading them like in the material you consume (assuming you see these types of things since they are the norm)? of overpowering them?
I've seen materials from both perspectives: raping and being raped. I don't really like imagining myself in place of the people there, but, it already happened. I've imagined myself as the one being rapped sometimes.

salivating at the mouth thinking about how it would be to be in these situations as the man overpowering the woman, of raping women and even children if they could, they were even talking about trying to do it to our girl colleagues or their own sisters/cousins.
I don't really have any women around me except my mother. I'm actually pretty terrified and insecure of being close to the opposite genre. Having the thought or desire of raping has always been distant from me.

I will keep everything you wrote in mind... Thank you for this.

Makes sense, as someone who has went through stuff as a child, when I first discovered adult materials, even as someone who considers themselves aromantic and if not completely asexual, 99%, I didn't mostly care, right until I discovered what was the description of what I went through as a child, that changed something about the interaction I had with the material. (it was fictional but still nonetheless it portrayed the scenario and it most likely didn't have any different effect than what god forbid the real material would have had)

I don't know what you've been through but if it's something similar, that is most likely not your wish, the physical reaction that you are getting is your brain trying to rationalize something irrational, something that would otherwise would have driven you insane if left unchecked, it's the only way that the brain knows.

Many people use that knowledge on folk that have this ""desire"", clouding their minds with bullshit, sexual "positivity" and all that; all of this so they can use them, humanely rape them, ethically do it, "in a controlled manner", I luckily haven't fell victim to this but many people have and what could have been just healed trauma and a bad memory, just became a grand canyon for them, a closed wound that is opened and is 5 times the size now.

If you might ponder for a while I believe you can overcome what you are going through now, it will take steps and it will not happen overnight most likely, but being aware of it will help.

I wish I never got curious.

It got really bad starting from high school. Now, I can't be left alone without me going at it. Multiple tabs bookmarked -> Feel bad -> Delete -> Repeat. I want to be productive but my brain feels too rotten to even get into hobbies because of my attention span. I've managed to be more consistent with exercising but even that couldn't stop me.

First of all, there's a reason for your addiction and compulsion. Maybe it was trauma of some kind. Whatever the reason is, it's important to try and not judge yourself because that's only going to make you feel worse and likely keep you in that cycle, either because you think you deserve judgment or because at least your addiction is familiar and, that alone, can be a comfort. As far as being normal, there's no such thing. I don't remember who said it, but there's a quote that goes people are only normal until you get to know them. Maybe you could start small and say, "I'm going to do this one less time, today," and gradually reduce. Baby steps are often more successful than trying to go full abstinence in one fell swoop.
