I am trying to get rid of my fapping addiction It’s affecting my health a lot. But it’s very hard for me. Any one have any tips for me.
You are probably not horny every time you fap. That means you fap/watch porn to feel better or distract yourself from something.
Figure out why you fap/consume porn when you are not horny. Deal with that problem.
Go cold turkey with porn/fapping. There will be ups and downs but after about 3 weeks you will be ok. If you can last 2-3 months you will feel 100 times better (like gettig a hard on whne you see a (not even a very hot) girl on a street). After that you can go back to normal but only fap when you are horny. Dont look at porn, it will mess you up.
try making a conscious effort to get out of the house more and do more social stuff. There’s websites like meetup where you can meet folks with similar interests. Making real connections with other people and/or finding satisfaction in pursuing your interests will fill some of the hole which your fapping is trying to cover over. Also you won’t have as much time to yourself so it won’t be possible!
Hey man! That is rough. I’d check out some videos by Dr. K. He is a streamer/psychiatrist that talks about this stuff. Here’s a stream he did with a bunch of guys who are in various stages of nofap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1ndqAkiQZo&t=1s
Look at a picture of Richard Simmons in a speedo. That should do it.
Thanks asshole, now I can only fap to richard simmons.

Get rid of free time. Commit yourself to some project that involves both the body and mind. Bicycling or running + listening to useful audiobooks might be one.
Seek a therapist who practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Well, for now I recommend you to filter out all NSFW here on Lemmy LMAO, I see porn here even when I’m not looking for it.
Keep your mind focused at doing (anything you like that is not porn) and keep doing it 24/7. Recognize your “impulses” and when you need to chill. Avoid anything that “sexually provokes” you in any way (watching moves with women moaning and/or with big bouncy breasts will definitely not help you here). Eat/drink (something sweet/strong) when the “itch” kicks in.
If all goes wrong… then seek help.
Antidepressants.
it’s very hard for me

Of course, I only wish OP firm hand when dealing with this addiction.
If it’s actually affecting your health, I’d suggest talking with a doctor about it
Go to a Gym or do calisthenics, get committed to that (exercise and diet). It’ll help you with testosterone and not letting you a lot of energy to fap.

Three pieces:
- Empty your bladders as soon as they fill up. Full bladders make you horny even when you aren’t
- Be around other people
- You are certainly not going to be able to fck the girl in the porn. Cause the girl’s just a 2D grid of pixels. It’s your primitive brain not being able to tell the difference. Override your primitive brain with your rational brain
