Day (53)- For the first time over the many years I have been masturbating, I finally have control over my masturbation frequency.

Usually when I try to decrease my masturbation frequency, it never ends up happening. I would masturbate everyday, sometimes up to 4 times in the same day. Now that I’ve stopped viewing porn, my urges have calmed down tremendously, and I have more control over them when they arise.

Also, something I noticed earlier on was that when I was having major urges in the beginning, I would masturbate without porn until the urges went away. Which would sometimes still be up to 3 times a day. Gradually, the urges went down, and so did my masturbation frequency to the point where I only feel the need to masturbate only once a week.

Even though I have gone 53 days pornfree, there’s still apart of me that believes I haven’t quit yet. The reality is, it takes so much discipline and willpower to quit porn, but relapsing is as easy as 1,2,3. The important part is to believe deep down that one day regardless of how long it takes, you will eventually quit this addiction. This is coming from a 19 year old single guy that has been addicted to porn since the age of 6. You guys got this.

I'm not to where you are yet, but at 42 days, I'm also finding that it's been getting easier to not masturbate. Keep going!

Good for you man! It's easy to convince yourself you just have a 'high sex drive' - when in reality you're addicted to something that has very little to do with sex.
