  • I don’t have this relationship with porn but have been addicted to other things. I have found some success in this method:

    I tell myself “ok, I can do bad habit in three hours, and I promise myself I won’t feel bad if I do.” and then in three hours, if I can, I just tell myself the same thing over again, and put it off for three more hours. If I buckle, I don’t kick the shit out of myself, and I’ve found that I can make it a whole day if I bargain with myself based on time. If I’m going to do bad habit in three hours, I can think about other things until the three hours is up. And no matter what, setting a small goal (just three measly hours, what’s that to me if I can do bad habit as much as I want when it’s done?) and accomplishing it gives me a different form of reward.

    Idk, it doesn’t always work, but when I was trying to fast for health/personal care it really helped me not eat until my “shift” was up.

    It doesn’t have to be three hours, it could be 30 minutes, or “when I’m done doing other activity” or something similar. Small goals that are possible to attain.







  • Definitely not gender-restricted. I think every guy I’ve ever dated has poked/shaken/bothered me awake just to ask in a loud whisper “pssst hey are you sleeping??” and when I’d say yes, I was sleeping, they’d be like “okay you should probably keep sleeping” or something like that.

    One guy would find that I wasn’t in bed anymore (he snored) and then come to the couch, poke me to ask if I was sleeping on the couch, and then ultimately climb into the couch with me to then snore some more!

    Looking back it is very endearing, but I’ve never considered hurting someone I love as much as I did in those instances.
