Control

[JonnyH]

How do I control of me watching or viewing any pornographic materials? How do I stop from viewing it everyday?

P.S. Not sure if this is the right forum to put it.

U have to set ur mind on not trying to
view it everyday but it is difficult when u r
on the web and there is so much of it out
there. Its hard to say what anyone can do
with any kind of compulsion. Don't give it up
all together but start doing something else when
u feel like u r watching too much like reading a book
or listening to music or playing a video game to get
ur mind off of it.

I agree with ska8er, its a compulsion and you have to do things to get your mind off of it by doing other things when you feel the need to view it. Depending on how into it you are depends on how difficult it would be for you to ween yourself of it. Do it gradually and eventually you will have it under control.

Try keep yourself busy on other things for the most part of the day it works by keeping you thinking of other things to do besides being on internet

[Bluebyrd]

Don't feel like you have to stop it. If it isn't causing you an harm or disrupting you from your day to day activities then why not continue doing it? Anyhow, if you do want to stop, then I suggesting just keep your mind off it by carrying out other activities. Maybe stay out of the house so you can'tt do it.

Some of the answers so far seem to have been written as if by saying you want to avoid watching porn that you want to avoid masturbating as if the two are inextricably linked.

In some ways, if you are trying to lick a bad habit, it can be worth changing things that link to the habit in question so, for example, people are advised to avoid the situations in which they would usually smoke when trying to give up.

On the other hand maybe what you need is to break the link between masturbation and porn. If you view porn on a laptop leave it in another room while you go to your room and masturbate using your imagination or just enjoying the sensations. When you've finished and are no longer horny you can collect your laptop and use the Internet for homework or Facebook or whatever and be less tempted to look for porn. Likewise leave your phone downstairs or masturbate in the bathroom with all porn-capable devices elsewhere.

I agree with Hermes above . If you have a mac you can use an app called self control which you can block certain websites for a certain amount of time.

when you get the urge to watch it just try keeping yourself busy with something else. maybe even think about how much better and fun itll be if you only look at it every once in a while lol

[zaccary]

Whats the point?

[TheLotus]

Keep yourself busy with other things to do. Lately, I've been very busy with school and stuff and haven't had much time for anything else and haven't masturbated or looked at porn because of it. I'm doing pretty fine

[hairy palmer]

i reckon ur title says it all man. CONTROL!!! as fun as porn is, dont use it always coz like everything else if u overdo it then it gets boring n predictable.
i probs only look at porn bout 3 times a week. i know my older bro has watched so much shit that he looks 4 extreme stuff now coz hes bored with the 'normal' porn ( i know coz hes said) same as if all u do is eat chocolate n then chocolate becums boring which is why i reckon there so many shit flavours out there now....who wants 2 eat chocolate with salt flavour!!! crazy!!!
keep the amount u watch down 2 a minimum n ull enjoy the porn u watch better.....:metal:

I think it rather depends on how you view porn. Many view porn as harmless entertainment while others have various reasons to want to avoid including religious views, concerns about exploitation etc.

I know if someone ask "how do I stop masturbating" I'd always suggest not trying to stop and instead address whatever gives rise to the desire to stop but that doesn't mean we have to take the same approach with porn. If someone is uncomfortable using porn it may be easier to do without it. Certainly it is very possible to enjoy masturbation without it.

[Sanchez16620]

Just try distracting yourself with other things you enjoy doing and set limits like an hour or half an hour per day

[Pitsirikos]

Just keep yourself busy with other activities.

[Serra]

Find something else to do.

[Jasynquin5]

You could put a parental block to stop you from searching for any of that material

[Kory123]

do something that turns you off. for me, its math. lol

[lliam]

For me it worked thatt way:

With 12/13 everyone suddenly watched* porns. And it seemed as if everyone constantly talked about it.

Technically, I've seen just a few porn, but all the talk about it got completely on my nerves over the time. So I think it was kinda that "overdose", that dissuaded me from seeing a porn again ever.
