How can we avoid the tentation of watching porn or masturbation??

[mmo]

Hi all.

I started my reboot 2 weeks ago, and when i was on amy first week rebooting i was happier and i felt more succesfull.
The problem is that even non-masturbating i was everyday touching my penis and thinking sexual things. Is a fact i couldnt stop.

So, here it comes the problem. The day after a week i was alone in front of the PC and the adiction won me. I started watching porn and i couldnt stop, so i ended up maturbating and eyaculating. I felt so bad after that moment and i promised i woundt do it again, but a week after it ocurred the same.

Yesterday, i was on the bathroom and i started a hot chat that ended up with photos and i couldnt avoid masturbating. The problem is that both the last week and this, when i did relapse i did 3 masturbations per day as I used to...

Please I need help, I dont want this to happen again. I want to know how can i stop the tentation of thinking on sex or touching myself.

Thanks all.

Hi mmo,

I think you answered your own question.  Each relapse you describe is following an unfortunate situation that you've put yourself into.  If we wait until we're in these situations and staring the opportunity to look at porn in the face, then zombie mode will take over and we will never regain control.  So, what do you do right before you look at porn?  What do you do before that?  These are all habits and triggers to map out, figure out, and avoid.

If being alone in front of the PC is a trigger, minimize the time alone in front of the PC.  Figure out ways to accomplish what you need to do that won't endanger a reboot.  Don't do the hot chats with photos.  Maybe you do other things like checking out social media, or other non-porn sites that get you started.

It is a learning process, and it takes time.  Each streak you get helps you in the long run.
