Quit porn + masturbating or just porn?

I see a lot of comments about guys who’ve totally quit porn by going cold turkey. Excellent. But do you continue to masturbate without porn? If yes, do you set a limit on it or how does that work? And does it depend on whether you’re also having regular sex or not with a partner or otherwise?

Curious to hear from those who have quit porn whether you also stopped masturbation entirely.

Cut the porn. Try to go two weeks without masterbation. Longer if you can. It will suck but it does work wonders. If you get an urge to wank or watch porn, just coast through it. Don’t dwell on it because the more you do, the more likely you are to cave in.

I agree that you need to stop masturbating as well when you cut out the porn, but I don’t know that you automatically have to wait 2 weeks. You should definitely refrain for a few days, but once you get horny enough to get hard just using your mind, you’re fine to masturbate IMO.

Yes well I don’t need porn my self. I am actually quite lucky. A women’s Foot turns me on more then anything. So much that I can just think of women’s Feet, and I am instantly hard and able to Cum within minutes. So yeah its definitely possible. Mind of matter. Or in my instance Feet over Mind :wink:

But do you ever allow yourself to wank as a constellation for not watching porn? After all if you just wank off without porn, then your urge to watch porn goes away. I guess I’m trying to understand whether the goal is to quit porn, or quit wanking off entirely (to which porn is a major factor that causes that)

Thanks this is what I was looking for. I never understand if people are talking about also quitting masturbating in addition to porn. To me, porn is always harmful, whereas masturbating is only harmful if done too much. But wasn’t sure if the point of the program is to have you quit both entirely forever, or maybe quick both cold turkey for a while and then slowly reintroduce masturbating (without porn) to a healthy frequency.

Ahh you are a lucky man indeed!

I personally went cold turkey with porn and masturbation. I went 24 days without masturbation, initially aiming for 14 days, but I didn’t feel ready after the initial goal. Since then I’ve done it twice, but honestly, I don’t think I was ready as the finish has been a let down. So I’m debating whether to go on the ban again or not.

I’m still not watching porn (38 days now) and even stopped following all the thirst traps/OF models on social media to cut out all the over sexualisation. I have also limited myself to an hour of social media a day, and to be honest that has had the biggest impact on me so far.

Try the ban on both for as long as you can, then when you feel ready set yourself hard limits on how often you will use both (masturbation and porn).

I would say the opposite. In the past, I’ve I’ve wanked and came then my sex drive sky rockets and it makes it easier to cave and watch porn or start down on a binge. You know your body and your urges. My advice is to cut both for as long as you can. For me, I am trying to overcome performance anxiety and delayed ejaculation. If your goals are different, do what works best for your body and mind. Trust yourself. If you think it’s wrong that’s your mind telling you to refrain
