Im a junior in high school and i have been addicted to porn for about three years. it has really screwed up the way i interact with people and it has brought me some pretty depressing periods in my life because when i masterbate i get horrible acne. i have never gotten in a relationship in my life and never had any real sexual experiences. i have been trying to quit for the last six months to no avail. i just moved across the country recently and its really hard. i've quit masterbating for the last three weeks and started trying gaming at my new school. some girls show some interest when i show confidence, but its really hard when i have giant red and yellow spots all over my face and neck. im taking acne medicine, and doing just about everything else i can do to clear up my face, but not seeing my friends and not having any girls show any interest over here keeps driving me back to porn. Can somebody please give me some advice on quitting or clearing up acne or anything at all. ( i don't want to go back into depression again, i look back on it as the worst period of my life) |

The longer you fight your addiction the harder it will be for you to be successful. If you can muster up the self-discipline to stop masturbating to porn then you will achieve a goal. The accomplishment of one goal will lead to improved self-esteem. Restrain from your temptation to watch porn, although you do have to masturbate. Every 7 days is a good number. You will notice your motivation increasing the closer you get to your 7 day mark, and you will have the most confidence during that time. Don't bottle up all the energy, release it every 7 days. Don't masturbate more than once a week. I know it is hard, although your habits choose your character, so make the right decisions while you are young. If you have acne, then be discipline in personal hygiene and the application of the medicine. We all have to play the cards we are dealt. If it’s required to scrub your face three times a day with soap and water, then you must be discipline and do it. Your success and happiness will reap the benefits of your discipline. |

The trick that I have found to getting over to much beating is to just have something better to do. Now listen up, because this is easier than it sounds. If you have the temptation to go at it, go for a bike ride, call some people up, play some Xbox, read something, or work out. (If you can't get to a gym, just do some push-ups/crunches/etc on the floor in your room.) As far as having acne goes, I used to be right there with you. (I'm a senior so we aren't that far apart in age) Being outside a lot and just being consistent about keep my face clean and not that oily helped but what really did it was watching the food I ate. I used to be eager to eat a slice of pizza or any other kind of junk food. I was also in some pretty bad shape back then. Now, I just eat a lot healthier and avoid that kind of junk. Clears you're acne up and puts you in a lot better physical shape. We all have our slumps champ, you just happen to be in one of them. The only way get through hell is to keep going. Listen to the advice here, these guys know there stuff. They helped me and they can help you. All you need is the drive to succeed. Good luck mate. Cheers |

thanks for the advice guys, i've found that music is the best way to quit it though. whenever i get the urge i'll just go jam out on my guitar or blast some Pantera or High on Fire. what magnum said is so true, the longer you fight it, the harder it is. and today is halloween so fuck being on the computer, im going out, i really dont give a shit its freezing outside and raining, anything is better than wasting away my life on the computer |

Nice billy I like your new positivity on the last post:) I know how you feel because I've also had some problems with acne (still do,not so bad tho) and its very hard being confident and not self-conscious when you keep thinking about how bad ur acne must look. U just have to reason that you just have to cope and that it's temporary. I've never heard that masturbating makes acne worse?? Is this really true and how so. Someone also said hanging outside makes it better ? Do u mean vs. sitting on the computer all the time. |

i know, i've accepted i just have to deal with it but its not really that temporary ( most of my uncles and my mom have horrible acne and they're in their 40-50's) the whole masterbating acne thing is debated heavily by alot of people, but from my experience it gets ALOT WORSE every time i give in and its been clearing up since i haven't released for four weeks |
