HI,
If you are really serious about this, just try your best NOT to go to these sites!
You can do it! There are also Support Groups, which you might find in your local area, might not.
But, tell yourself, that just for today, just one day at a time, you are NOT going to visit any porn sites; then don't do it. Don't think about tomorrow, just today.
I do wish you the best, and do you have any hobbies? Find something you like doing, that does not involve sex at all, and give it a try.

Krs agrees: nicely said FredG :)

Like any other addiction, you'll need support and help to get through it.

Check your local newspaper for a Sex Addicts Anonymous group. Go to the meetings, even when you don’t want to. Read and think about the 12 steps…

For you:

Become more physically active. Work out. Go for walks in the park. Play a sport - It’s spring, and lots of local softball and slow-pitch teams are looking for players!

Get a hobby that will take your mind off sex. Maybe you’re interested in history, or cars, or baseball statistics. Find something other than sex to think about.

I would also install software to block adult sites. Something as simple as a hosts file block will help (check http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm).

And of course, resist trying to see what gets through and what gets blocked.

And as previously mentioned, pray for help and understanding.

When you're tempted to do either, go outside immediately. Walk around the block, go to a park, throw a frisbee with someone.

You will not beat this overnight, but if you can visit one less porn site tomorrow, than you do today, and so-on the next day, you will work it out.

Simple...find something to do away from the computer....go out and walk, jog...work out. Key is to break the habit...which is exactly what it is.

These types of sites can be a serious adiction. We had an employee in our company, we found he was visiting porn sites. We explained that this violated company policy ( he was allowed to use a computer on breaks or lunch to check his email)

Well even after telling him that we had a way to know every site he visited on the computer, he stoped for a few days but went right back to them knowing we would see it and fire him. But he just could not stop.

It is very possible that you can just stop, get a computer shop to put in filters that can not be turned off, so you just can't go to those sites is one choice. And if it is just to much, get rid of your computer.

And of course professional help is always a good idea when facing a serious problem

All the advice given has been good. I'd like to add a bit more. All behavior has a stimulous which provokes or encourages it. Masturbation is caused by sexual tension which naturally increases and clamors for release. Marriage is the biblical suggestion to alleviate that tension.

1 Corinthians 7:9
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.


The following sites offer additional relevant advice.
