Yup, but this allows time for growth in other parts of your life. Try staying off line unless you need to be on it, enjoy some time outside, reading, cooking, exercising, etc

Yes it is, that exactly the point.
Everything else in your life has potentially become boring because of your porn habit.
I spent 3 weeks away from porn and suddenly lots of other things in life became far more interesting.
Recently I fell back in for a few days and couldn't believe how depressed I became in such a short amount of time. I was picking pointless fights with partners on this forum, completely lacking any happiness or empathy for them.
It's become fairly easy for me to launch back into a no porn mindset, because now I know what I have to lose.
I'm on day 2 of my second streak without porn, hoping to hit at least 1-2 weeks.

Your turn around has been quite remarkable, NWR!
I'm glad you've toned it down and are getting along with people. You are a very smart dude and you think outside the box, which is always useful on a forum. It's also great that you aren't selling the virtues of P and hookers any more. More than anyone else, that was hurting you. You seem to be on a much healthy path now. Keep it going!

Hey slow down, I didn't say anything bad about hookers, let's tackle one bad habit at a time my friend ;D
Just kidding, I'm still seeing escorts occasionally, but I'm avoiding sites like backpage, and only seeing classy, independent girls where I am reasonably sure they are not being coerced into the lifestyle.
If they don't have an independent website, and they aren't willing to talk on the phone, then I don't see them anymore, reading some articles about backpage trafficking in my area was a bit of a wakeup call.
Still, I would rather move on to something better/cheaper as soon as possible, I'm spending a lot of time on pof looking for that special anyone at all...

That's really interesting about paying for sex, i cant do that because i am in addiction recovery group and its "No" to all forms of sex unless in a relationship well that is how i perceive the program and these are the effects on me. I have been single for nearly 6 years and i just cant meet anyone unless i go out to night clubs or sex venues and i don't do either for a few years. When i do i would meet people face to face. With all these dating sites they do not work for me so i feel stuck and crazy, i need human connection affection touch but am in a dilemma. And now no porn or m.

I heard of a novel idea earlier this year, professional cuddling services. Maybe it's something you'd be interested in.

Escorts are happy to cuddle, some even offer sessions of clothed cuddling at a cheaper rate, no funny business allowed.
Perfectly legal as long as you don't cross the line into the other services she might offer
