  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

This is so difficult for some of us. If I fancy someone at the time then I can fantasise about them, but otherwise, thinking up a random scenario with a random person (that is "enough" to get me turned on) is very challenging. I'm very visualar which is why porn was always my go-to.
Yeah, it's nothing easy especially for anyone used to regular porn. That's why I suggested to ease into it by starting with erotic literature written by other people which there's no shortage of on the internet. You could even try to find explicit fan fiction on archiveofourown. Of course this is still assuming you want to wean off porn in the first place.

its super hard to quit cold turkey, for me i had to reduce my frequency first missing a day or two then build that period.

it took me weeks of not watching any porn to get my imagination back if that makes sense. try again brudda i bet you can make it, might just take a few goes :)

One go was enough, thank you. This emotional pain is something I will not experience again, and I am feeling way better about my situation than before this "experience".

i feel ya mate, well at least ya tried. i once used clomid to suppress my libido whilst boosting my test temporarily, kinda gave me a head start.

do you feel your regular deadlifting/leg workouts has increased your test?

I don't need testosterone, I just lift because it removes the emotional pain. I'm not a self-development guy chasing after women at the moment tbh.
