95% of men have seen porn.
90% of men are addicted to porn.
Here are 9 steps to stop watching it:
1) Understand the truth
You aren't addicted to porn.
You're addicted to dopamine.
You don't watch porn because you're horny.
You watch porn because you're craving dopamine.
You watch it because you're hurting and want an escape.
2) Embrace your urges
I know that sounds crazy.
But if the urge to watch porn is a craving or pain
You must allow yourself to feel that.
Stop running. Before you can face them (as I teach you) you have to know what you're facing.
Your urges aren't bad.
Here's why:
3) Backtrack your urges
The urge to watch porn isn't the urge to watch porn.
It's the urge to release negative emotional tension.
You need to figure out what's causing the urge so you can address it.
Most Common Reasons Men Watch Porn:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Loneliness
- Boredom
- Depression
- Frustration
All of those are emotional stressors that put stress on the body.
The brain knows it can release the tension with porn.
That's what causes the urge.
4) Find new ways to cope
This step is crucial.
You're using porn as a coping mechanism.
Instead of facing your problems you're using porn to run from them.
But if you want to stop running, you need a plan to face them.
I help clients personalize a plan to their needs and situation.
Better copes:
- Lifting
- Hiking
- Journaling
- Calling friends
- Reading
- Praying
Those activities serve two purposes:
1. Release natural endorphins and dopamine
2. They get you out of your head and let you use energy (instead of it using you)
Tell yourself:
"I'd feel better if I went for a walk, porn won't help."
Then take the walk.
You'll feel amazing.
5) Figure out your triggers
There are 3 types of triggers:
1. External triggers (pictures, social media)
2. Internal Triggers (emotional stressors)
3. Habit triggers (before & after habits)
The kind that affects you the most?
It's number 2.
Figure out yours and make a plan.
6) Channel your sexual energy
Porn zaps your energy.
When you have too much energy you're prone to self-sabotage with porn.
Or when you feel low energy you use it as a pick-me-up.
But once you learn how to channel that energy into other things...
You become unstoppable.
Before you can channel your energy you must know what to channel it into.
How to do this:
1. Take your goals
2. Break them down into daily steps
3. Time block when you do them
4. Redirect your energy into them
"I'm going to use my energy to [accomplish X daily step]"
7) Don't avoid porn
"I can't watch porn"
Avoiding porn means you're avoiding facing your tension.
Give yourself the option to watch porn and watch as it becomes easier to release tension in a healthy way.
This will eliminate the cause of 95% of your relapses.
8) Brainwash yourself
What you tell yourself influences your actions and your identity.
If you tell yourself
"I'm porn-free"
You will become porn-free.
If you tell yourself:
"I feel better when I do X instead of watching porn, I'll do that"
It becomes true.
You can brainwash yourself into quitting porn. Here's how:
1. Stick to positive affirmations
2. Don't use negative words (i.e., "don't)
3. Use them whenever you have an urge
Watch as quitting becomes easy.
9) Get accountability
This all can be a lot to manage on your own.
That's why an accountability partner can keep you on track.
Remind you what you need to do.
And guide you through it when you don't feel like doing it.
That's why my clients succeed.
They have me.
