where now?
i’ve (20) quit porn for about a month now. now i only watch homemade videos of my girlfriend and sometimes ill look at art or cartoons, but recently i decided to quit those (the cartoons and art, im still looking at videos of my girlfriend and i) too even though my girlfriend said she’s comfortable with me viewing them. i no longer have the desire to watch porn.
i think i was imagining i would get superpowers once i quit porn but nothing happened. my already bad libido isn’t fixed (which is especially embarrassing as a male) and i’m not any less depressed than before. i’ve heavily used porn since i was 14 and i think i expected myself to struggle to quit but when i actually tried i could do it just fine.
i’m now looking into other addictions that seem normal like video games and fast food to see where else i need to improve.
is there a logical next step? did i miss something? did anyone else feel the same before and after?
