However, I have ventured back into the porn now because I'm in the offseason and have more time. I have a girlfriend so thats not the issue I just have a lot of energy? During the season I have temptations but I'm a lot more tired and have more work to do, but now in the off season I seem to be going on rampages and I deleted all my porn. Any advice as to how to get back into the land of freedom?

whatever you do just want to let you know that your amazing for wanting to give up your porn addiction instead of just letting porn consume you like most stupid males
let your determination to be free free you!
you are sexy! :)

Try making all porn sites blocked with some sort of parental control. Have a friend do this or if you're comfortable a parent set up settings w/ a password so that you can't look at adult sites. Or you could just use the computer at a public library or abstain from the computer indefinitely. Porn can be an addiction like smoking... It's a hard thing to refrain of. Good luck.

Well I dunno about you but Im bit younger and I had this problem when I didnt have a gf and I sorta realized that Its not mandatory. I have also been hanging out with alot more girls that are just close friends, And I didn't want to lose my close friends cuz im getting horny, then start trying to get action with then. Not everybodies idea is the same but I think if you only do it a few times if that a week your good to go. Even I get the random buildup of testosterone and the need to give in. I havent really answered the question yet have I.. Well I would try advising thinking about "THE NEED" of things and maybe getting out doing excersise or working out hanging with friends. Try not seeing girls as sex objects and or instead of seeing them as hot try seeing them as Beautiful, Instead of I'D TAP THAT try turning away. Simple ways to start off to a porn free life?? Im not sure but it worked for me. If you ever get the need to watch it just redirect your mind and do something that invovles using your brain or concentrating. Anyways hope it helps, you have to have will power for anything to work ;) Cheers

 I think just trying to go cold turkey and not looking at any at all, which means no internet and no playboys or whatever else there is out there. have you told your girlfriend any of this, maybe she would be willing to help.
maybe even seeing a doctor..., and taking cold showers might help too. lol. or maybe getting a new hobby or another job. something productive.
I hope this helped a bit

i am in a similar situation. i never thought i had a problem but recently i have been wondering if i do. i look at porn once a day, about 4-5 days a week. i live with my girlfriend and normally do it during the week while she is at work (i work from home). she knows i masturbate once in a while, and it doesn't seem to bother her, and i know she does too though much less than i. we have sex maybe every other day now that we live together, but i still have the urge to look at porn when i can. recently, i sometimes don't get as hard during sex as i used to, and have tried to cut back on porn, with little progress.
i'd like some advice, though i imagine it really comes down to self control. i'm just confused why i look at porn while i have a consistent sex life as i did when i did not.
you're not the only one out there, and i'd like some advice too!
