You need something else to focus on, a goal which will help you to improve your life. You masturbate to porn partly because it's a distraction, and partly to relieve stress.
Depression can either destroy you or it can be a driver.
In the past I've been right on the edge of killing myself. I felt hopeless. Then I thought about my family and what that would do to them. That's the main reason I decided not to, and from that point I saw it as my responsibility to better myself, something I've done relentlessly ever since.
Maybe your depression isn't as bad since you say you feel low, but the point is that you have a choice between bad vs good coping habits. Masturbating to porn is a bad coping mechanism. Using that low feeling as fuel to drive you forward is a good one.
I can understand how it feels when you don't have women like you used to. That must suck. At the same time it's a big mistake to let your happiness rely on women. The reason you turn to porn is that your focus is women.
What else matters to you? Do you have any other passion than getting laid? Any career goals? Money goals? Hobbies? You're turning to porn because of your immediate desires, not meaning to insult but kind of like a teenaged boy. What about your long-term goals? That's where I'd say your focus needs to be.
The longer these lockdowns go on for, the worse things are going to get money-wise for most people. Things are not going to go back to normal for a very long time. There are ways you can get your money up and be in a better position than most people however if you play it smart. When things really begin to go downhill who will single women be looking for? The few guys with their shit together.
Thanks for such an honest answer. I know most people are dealing with their own demons in different ways. I dont know why I am so down on myself when I am in a great Situation money wise and in terms of career. I feel like my "teenage tendencies" are always on and off and I have to figure out a way to balance it out for me to feel better about myself. I feel like not being able to attract as much women anymore has made me feel bad about the way I look now. When I definitely know I am not that bad looking. I feel like I am just looking at myself in an unhealthy way which is ruining my confidence overall in life.
What do you think of relationship? I get the impression that you’re the type of guy who doesn’t my like to be tied down?
Well I have been more open to a real relationship since my college days are pretty much behind me. But Its been harder to meet people I'm interested in since this whole Covid situation, which doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.
Cut your penis!!!

I'm just kidding... 😹😹😹
You can't stop masterbating...
No worries... People will suggest you many different ways but they will not work...
I'm happy at least you know you are doing over...
So simple and easy way to stop is reduce it slowly... Like go for 1 time a day then 1 time in 2 days then 1 time in 4 days and when you feel moderate... Stop there...
And when you will get urge to do it... Do some else... Like do exercise or paint or just go for walk or talk to someone ir just go and sit with someone... Create situations where you can't masterbate even if you want to...
Best of luck.!
I just feel like its getting to a point where it is effecting me mentally and throws me out of focus even at work. I see a fine chick and it just gets me going. Very bad habit I used to never have, but I think since covid hit and im notninteracting with as many women its thrown me off big time.
Just try my advice and tell me if its work... I'm 100% sure it will work... And porn addiction is very bad it will ruin your life...
There is nothing wrong with healthy masturbation but when it's all you think about try taking a break all together from it for a week and see if your drive goes down
I feel like I've gotten to a point where its not the healthiest at least mentally. Its really thrown my view of women off and I feel like I am having less luck with women because of it. Covid hasn't helped much also since I'm not really interacting with women as much as I used to.
Overuse of porn can cause erectile dysfunction when you try to have real sex after not having it for awhile. If that's not an incentive for you to stop, I don't know what is
*not having sex for awhile*
