Any of you out there struggling with masturbation and porn I figured out a great way to quit.

Simply fall in love, get your heart broken, fall into a depressive episode, try to ctb, fail, get put on sertraline, and spend all day thinking about your ex. You will never feel anything again never mind getting horny!

I spend the whole day thinking about my ex... She died.

And yet I have this addiction. Am I insensitive?

with me it was because she left me for someone else so perhaps it's the element of destroying my own confidence that makes me like that

I'm digusted with the amount of porn I've started consuming in the past couple of months especially. I was hoping going back on meds would solve the problem but not so far, and now it's just another source of self loathing. Got to get on top of this.

Think I've finally solved this. I stopped smoking some time between one week and three weeks ago, and have had no cravings at all. Did this by chewing nicotine gum, it's literally that easy. We apply the same thing to porn, meaning that jacking off without porn will be our nicotine gum. Kinda cringy to do this as a low-status incel NEET, since I can't have any realistic fantasies, but I can just barely get the job done with my imagination.

The real hard part is doing it without any reason. My dick is fucked up, so don't think I could even have sex (without medical treatment first) if I had a gf (which is impossible for me to get). So guess the only reason is hoping for some of the total anhedonia to be lifted since porn fucks up the dopamine or whatever. And to maybe then enjoy food/gaming/jacking off without porn. Sound so unrealistic since I can't remember the last time I enjoyed anything, has to be at least five years now.

It's not funny, but I will say, this is so cut clear and dry isn't it?
Killing yourself over a spouse isn't worth it.
Unless they're an abusive spouse and you're tired of them raping you and stalking you and humiliating you or screaming at you and telling you there's no way out and you have no money and nowhere to go and if you don't like it go to your last abuser or back to the biggest abuser of them all, your hideous leather faced piece of shit MOMMY and tell her how much you "love" her and facing her hideous self every day.

I would say the results may vary with this method.

Last time I got my heart broken I ended up feeling compelled to jack off way more than I usually would in a futile attempt to make the pain go away and because the one I had fawned over was a self proclaimed hyper sexual who had done a great job of getting me overly revved up before she cut things off. I went from only masturbating once every one or two days to going at it three or four times every day. I ended up developing a concerning but ultimately harmless cyst that grew right on my dick which STILL didn't stop me from attempting to coom multiple times in one day. I think I probably became more addicted to porn or at least the act of orgasming far more than I had ever been before which is unfortunate…
