I'm fortunate that I'm at a point in my life where I need to limit my porn consumption. Otherwise, 100% agree
Any tips on cutting back on the fap?
Meme answer: rely on porn from one website and wait for that website to implode cough reddit cough
Real answer: I try to limit myself to once every 2-3 days. I've found that as I get older, an orgasm takes a lot out of me and makes me much more tired. If I feel the urge to fap late at night, I try to think "nah, I'll just do it tomorrow morning" and go from there. Finding other hobbies/activities to distract is also a great way to cut back on the fap.
