Never Stress
Although I don't have a crippling addiction like some people and have gone very long stretches without it, I still always end up back at it. I am not at all a proponent of nofap (it's stupid) or semen retention in general (not natural and dumb) but I do recognize that porn is bad and damaging. I have moved away from watching cucked porn where chad fucks the girl for about a year now, but I still end up coming back to pornography of some type. I know it's harmful and damaging, but the industry makes it pretty damn accessible and addicting. I'm trying to be a better man of God, better for myself, and for my future wife. I can't be living like this. In my desired reality I have no need for porn, because I have my woman. To live like that I have to stop living like this. If anyone's got tips aside from the water shit I'd love to hear it.

I don't stress. I live stress free, but porn isn't good, that's irrefutable. I don't wanna always fall back to it. I don't stress about it, I just wanna move away from it. It's never a really proud moment to be a cuck yk? It's fake.

Watch this video man.
 
Excessive masturbation is a coping mechanism for stress. Don't fret on it too hard friend, just stay away from nasty porn.
You'll stop when you get a woman.

Ok tell me the issues your having with porn. How often you watch, what time of day, etc.

The issue is it's an addiction. I don't watch it often, but It is like a couple times a week recently. It's usually at the end of the day, closer to before I sleep. The issue is that I don't wanna keep watching it but I feel a bit addicted.

I know I will, but I wanna stop before so I can be mentally ready to have a woman. It's gotta be like that first.

The best way to quit masturbating is to have a "fun" girl, obviously you can force yourself, but overall that's just not worth it for your mental health.

Start watching porn in the morning instead. Dopamine and sexual activity in the morning are way less enticing. Over time, porn isn't going to be nice to watch anymore.

Force myself into what exactly? I know I really don't think I'll ever go back once I find the girl I'll want to be with.

Shit that might actually be a good step towards it. If I restrict myself to mornings I bet I still will but less. Thanks for the non water advice buddy

Forcing yourself into selective celibacy for an unknown time period is far too hard. Quit stressing about it, try to aim for 3 times a week and gradually go down.

Yeah. Well I've already been a volcel, so the selective celibacy isn't too hard for me, but yeah in this case it is. I feel like I cope with it because I don't have sex. It makes me no better though.

I blame my excessive gooning on hormones, knowing full well I have poor self-control.

once your deep in the addiction tho its hard to approach a girl and get her number ask her out etc its a cycle yes a girl will greatly offset watching but just getting one can be extremely difficutl if your deep in addiciton

I didn't felt like that tbh
But maybe i didn't watch violent porn because it looks like the girl is r***d sometimes
 
I would suggest if you can skip one day and then go back to it slowly over weekly periods keep skipping one day go slow and find other resources that can help you get out for the house to bordem without good habits can lead to worse things.

just my suggesion if its still hard to follow these then you might be cooked tbh

exactly theoretically if you could absence for e very long time were talking 3-12 months then you could slowly start to make it dissepaer but it's very unlikley unless you have no acsses or is David gogigns that most men will be able to do that

Giving you impossible challenges is destined to fail. Most men will probably do better fapping once per week for example, and then watching only solos from women

I actually have no clue. I know my test is far higher than it was in the past though. I'd say average off a guess.

I've heard from others they noticed a huge decrease in their desire for graphic pornography when they increased their testosterone levels, but that's mainly testimony and I haven't done much research on it. So I don't know if it's super accurate.

Cutting out pornography doesn't mean you have to cut out all sexual desire. If need be, you could try doing other methods that is not video. You could try listening to audio-only content, reading smut/books/fiction content, doing lewd content instead of straight pornography (so clothed content), or looking at just one-person nudes (so a single person is in the picture).

The reality of it is pornography will effect how you view women and your relationship with them, so I understand the desire to reduce it. It's caused me issues in the past in my relationships and it can be really damaging to everyone involved.

Another thing is, consuming pornography in small amounts is okay, but you already knew that. If you feel like you're struggling to cut it out, then it's more of an addiction. And it's sometimes hard to be a 'social drinker' if you've been an alcoholic for a long time. But cold turkey will stress you out, which will make you depend on coping mechanisms, which in your case is probably pornography, lol.

Getting a test isn't a horrible thing. Talk to your doctor and see what they say. 'Worst case' is you get to take some testosterone which will help you in every aspect, or 'worst case' you don't need it and you're fine. Not too many downsides to getting a test done if you and your doctor might think it'd benefit you.
 
I’m gonna start using aspirin to lower my cortisol, hopefully Nofap will last longer

I've been on that method. I've stopped hardcore for the most part, still fall back here and there. Bit of a battle.
