I got no sleep because of p**n AGAIN? How do I stop!?

Question

This is the third night this week I didn't get sleep and the other days I got 6 hours of sleep.

I have to go to school today and then I have to go to work.

I've already tried putting site blockers and stuff. I deleted everything I had. But I always end up disabling the blockers and downloading everything again.

I don't want to go to a therapist or anything like that and I don't want anyone in my family to know. ( they think I stay up all night doing homework...)

Is the only way to quit, cold turkey? I've tried, but I just have to see one word or think of one wrong thing, or see one wrong thing, and then I'm watching p**n all night.

How do I stop looking at it? Any advice/help please? I'm so tired of this addiction getting in the way with everything. (work,school,homework,friends)

Answer 1

I say exercise is the best way to go...you can also try meditation and use your energy on something else.

Answer 2

Ask God for help - p**n is not good for your soul.

Answer 3

here's some tips for you

How to avoid p**n addiction on the Internet

1. Consider installing p**n content filtering software( Strongly Recommend NetDog ,you can get it from www.netdogsoft.com ) on your computer. it will help to protect you from stumbling into pornography by accident, That's important.

2. Do not try to guess what the address of a Web page is. Many pornographic sites have similar addresses of respectable sites. For example www . whitehouse . com is a p**n site. The real address is www. whitehouse . gov

3. Never click on Web site addresses that you receive in an unsolicited email.

4. Do not open attachments that come in email that are unsolicited.

5. Use filtered search engines or reputable directories to find the information you need.

6. Do not search for terms like girls. Think before you enter a search term.

Stick with reputable sites.

If something looks questionable, don't let curiosity get the best of you. Delete it or close the window.

Answer 5

Start here for a view that might help you understand why it's a good idea to quit and develop the conviction to do so.

I know exactly what you're going through, having been there myself many times, and only very recently getting out of the cycle (sort of).

Honestly, avoiding counseling is not going to be a good idea. If you're in high school, you can still find therapists who will honor your confidentiality. You might also look around online for support networks in your area. I don't know if they have s*x/Love Addicts Anonymous for teens, but it's possible.

Good luck, and remember that what you're watching isn't something that can ever be real. It's called chasing the dragon, just like shooting up with heroin, snorting lines, or drinking yourself into a stupor...satisfaction of these fantasies isn't possible.

Answer 6

There is a physiological cause for this...simply put; the same chemicals you get after you have an o****m make you sleepy.   So you may find yourself up at night watching p**n just to relieve tension so you can get to sleep and/or stop feeling so tense (especially if you are out of shape).

    If you are healthy, you can give yourself an o****m quickly and just go to sleep after that.  The more you exercise the easier this becomes; most people I know who complain they have trouble "getting off" have high blood pressure, are overweight, and/or get very little exercise.

    It can be as simple as masturbating while thinking about attractive women in your mind IE without looking at a computer screen.

  But, as you get more fit...you will eventually find yourself much more wanting and able to go to sleep without an enormous "sexual tension release".  

  And, of course, as you implied...once you aren't so reliant on p**n you will be out with friends more, have more time to meet potential girlfriends...and eventually get one who satisfies you enough p**n would sound boring in comparison. :-D

Answer 7

The question would be are you watching the same stuff over and over again or are you constantly trying to find something new. It could give you insight into if it is an addiction or OCD like problem for you.  Use something like the calendar in Outlook to give a popup message that it is time to turn the computer off and go to bed. See if you can set your own internal limits on this problem. The easy solution would be to get the computer out of your room for awhile and see how things go.  

Answer 8

aren't you getting bored with it? I mean, by now it all must start to look pretty much the same. same old thing. maybe you will get bored soon and get some sleep.

Answer 9

talk to someone about your problem

Answer 10

When something happens in life that results in enough of a disruption in your routine that you hate that disruption more than you love looking at p**n, that will curb your needs some.  But ultimately, if all you wanna do is look at porno all day, I see nothing wrong with that.  Just decide how much you want to do that, then adjust your life to fit.
