As difficult as it sounds, really go into it without masturbation. Or, if that is too difficult at the beginning, only masturbate a few times in the first week and gradually stop to nothing while you have also not watched porn. ---

Perhaps someone could pull this off by substituting porn with some activity equally, if not more stimulating šŸ™„ ---

Actually, I think that porn is a drug you can really get addicted to (just like tobacco or cocaine). The main problem is that this ā€œdrugā€ is always alvailable and your primitive brain always beg for more of it (theres an interesting parallel with food and obesity). I think it is a true addiction. ---

This was on the radio this morning as the topic. Something like if there is no sex of any kind the male body produces 60% more testosterone in just 7 days. Then they went on comparing to social networks and alcohol and drugs. It was funny and interesting. ---

Some other threads covering the same topic: > [@I didn't know this exsisted!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/i-didnt-know-this-exsisted/50103): > > My friend and I were joking today that every once in a while we love to watch porn and get really turned on by it. We went as far as saying we are porn addicts and of course our significant others are not to happy about this. I was like I wondered if we could get help and typed in porn rehab and came across this site. I guess since you hear so much about alcoholic and drug rehab so much didnā€™t know that there are sites to kick porn addictions.

What if you make your own porn? ---

> [@TwistedOstrich](#): > > What if you make your own porn? Not sure if youā€™re being facetious or not, but Iā€™ll try to answer this question. After discovering this website for myself (though this thread of course) Iā€™ve stopped watching porn. I havenā€™t been addicted, but rather used it as a masturbation tool. After learning what the site has to say Iā€™ll try to break it down as simply as I can. You want dopamine. Novelty stimulates your brain so you can produce more dopamine. Gambling, food, sex, drugs all count as novelty. Your brain perceives these willing females in porn as real mating opportunities. Since you have all the porn in the world via high speed internet connection, you have endless novel ā€œwilling femalesā€ at the click of a mouse. Once youā€™re done with one female, you may not have received the most powerful dopamine blast available aka orgasm and continue searching for more females. This can continue on for minutes or hours, leading to hundreds of female mates your brain perceives as real in less than a realistic time frame. So what happens is your brain needs 100 females in the room at the same time doing some kinky thing before youā€™re able to get that dopamine blast that you need to get off. The result? One female is no longer enough to get you off (both dopamine wise and physically). So ya, Iā€™d imagine if you made your own amateur porn youā€™d be all set since youā€™re only viewing yourself and (a) (few) partner(s). Otherwise, this site has me convinced. Itā€™s all sciencey n stuff. ---
