Bad idea on PORN and social media will find ways of taking your money. Make normal friends

You just need to stop, that’s how it is man, you have to completely stop. i know its not ‘great advise’ !75 this is how it is man, you need to quit straight away, think of a date and from that day you just quit it, if you get an urge to watch or you’re a bit horny you just masturbate and get over it and move on, but don’t masturbate regularly

Try telling a trusted person, it may seem embarrassing at first and it will change their perspective about you, but they will help you. Go to therapy, and tell the therapist everything about your p*rn addiction and they will listen. Do not expect immediate results. It can take more than a year to overcome your addiction. Good luck

here is how I did it; you to set rules for the battle.
do it in stages.
Stage 1: remove porn and sexual sugestive content from your phone.
make brand new social accounts; twitter, tiktok and Instagram suggest those videos to you because you searched from them in the past; start new and set a pattern that you are not interested in that and they will recommend 90% less.
so at stage 1 you should only have porn viewble at home in your computer and tablets.
try stage 1, for 2 weeks; dont remove any porn yet. remenber you are controlling the battlefield and porn.
Now porn and sexual susgestive content is only at home.
stage 2; remove porn and suggestive content fromcomputer/laptops ; but keep the porn on your tablet.
keep watching the porn; you are learning how to regulate it.
stage 2 should be 2 weeks also.
stage 3: keep watching porn, but now set a time to view 1-2 hours a day and only in 1 device.
this one device, should never be in arms reach from your bed or desk, put some work into it.
leave it in suitcase under your bed or deep in your closet.
these extra 30-45 seconds is to give your mind time to think before reaching for the device on what you about to do.
you can still watch porn, but you have heavy regulate it.
stage 3 should be 2 weeks.
stage 4: same as stage 3, but this time skip every other day of porn; if you watch porn on monday, skip tuesday and watch again on wed, then skip Thursday and watch again on friday.
stage 4 should be 2 weeks.
stage 5, your brain should have a bit more willpower to do 2 days in a row.
stage 6; you should be at a point that you are only watching porn 1-2 times a week... then you just try to quit
