I’ve been free from porn in about 6 months now. I’ve cut dramatically down on the fapping also, but not stopped it completely. I would say I now fap 4 times a week, where as before I could have done it 3-4 times a day at worst.
Quitting the porn seems to have been the most important thing. I think I have noticed this for a while now, but it wasn’t before last week I really started to think about it: whenever I have fapped lately, I don’t fantasize about the usual stuff I would, but rather I focus on the sensations. In other words I’m not imagining some sort of retarded scene, and it feels much more natural.
I read somewhere that a common thing of quitting porn for good was that eventually you would return to your old preferences when it comes to sex, and that has also happened with me. Everything I’ve seen in porn don’t turn me on anymore, I get turned on by ‘what I’m supposed to’ get turned on by. I’ll spare you for the examples, but all the things I get turned on by now, are things I liked in my early teens, before I found porn.
To the guys/girls that have recently stopped porn, give it time. Your brain will return to it’s old/natural ways eventually!
