Steps

Method 1 of 3: Understand porn addiction

1. 

   Identify the signs. Is it normal that you watch black movies or have started to become noticeable? The following signs will help you see how porn has affected you:
   • Even if you try to quit, you cannot stop watching or engaging in pornography.
   • You feel angry or upset if you are forced to stop watching porn (even if you force yourself).
   • You hide from your family and friends from watching movies.
   • Feel as if you are living two lives because you hide from watching porn.
   • You continue to watch movies even though you know the consequences, such as problems at school or in relationships.
   • You wasted a lot of time because you were completely immersed in watching black movies.

2. 

   
   
   Know the potential consequences of porn addiction. To understand what you are going through, learn about the potential risks. Sure, it's okay to convince yourself that everyone watches porn and that you have no serious problems, but you need to understand the effects of black film addiction to see the potential dangers :
   • Relationships that have broken down or go wrong
   • You find it difficult to maintain interest in relationships and dating
   • Feelings of shame or guilt are always present
   • You have problems with work or school, such as failing grades
   • You are more likely to engage in dangerous or unhealthy sex activities, and at high risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases.
   • You cannot stop arousal even when you are in an environment completely unrelated to sex

3. 

   
   
   Stop stressing yourself. Since this addiction involves indecent cultural products, you may view yourself as an impure, corrupt or immoral person because you make yourself addicted to porn. However, feeling repentant or constantly blaming yourself will make it harder for you to find the confidence to fight cravings and focus on other things.
   • Common methods like pinching yourself every time you watch porn have the "forbidden fruit" effect and make it harder to quit watching black movies. Furthermore, you will have very negative thoughts about your sexual orientation, which will only complicate the matter.

   Learn about triggers. Triggers are the things that make you feel like you want to see perverted culture. It could be a particular part of your daily schedule, like when you're getting ready for bed, or the little-dressed models in an advertisement. Knowing what excites you is important because like this, you will understand the problem and the more you try are not see more. You can do something different instead of continuing to watch until you've stopped craving porn on your own.
   • For example, if you see an ad that makes you want to watch porn, play a game of video games. You can't avoid the ad entirely, but you can replace watching porn with less harmful habits.
   • After a while, you won't need to work too hard to avoid the stimuli or constantly do other things to avoid pornography. However, when you try to give up watching altogether, it can be difficult for you to successfully distract yourself in moments of temptation.
   • Avoid irritating things entirely if possible. Doing so will make the initial cut easier. However, you should also be careful not to avoid them for too long, assuming if the stimulus is a certain type of music or a few friends. If you let those stimuli come back into your life after a complete hiatus, you will be more likely to get addicted again.

These Internet censors, such as StayFocused or NetNanny, act as parental controls on electronic devices - you can slowly block websites of your choice. These software also manage how long you have viewed any website.
   • If you are on a personal computer, you can block the sites you visit frequently by editing the hosts file on a Windows (or even Macintosh) system.
