The willpower problem

Why most men fail alone

Is it really that hard to stop watching porn?

In theory, it shouldn't be – You decide and stop.

But in real life, many men get stuck for years.

One study of 1,298 male porn users found that 14% were interested in getting help for their porn use β€” but only 6.4% had ever actually done it.

In other words: many men know there is a problem, but most still try to fight it alone.

And the usual method goes like:

"I'll quit for a few days to see what happens".

But eventually the body refills its sexual desire, and willpower has to fight harder and harder.

πŸ‘‰ The danger is when the urge opens the novelty loop again.

It took me years to understand this:

β€œI want to stop” is a good start.

But for most of us, it is not a complete method.
