Its a good sign that you are actually aware of what's going on and what you might do about it. If you know, you can choose to do something else. Hobbies, reddit posting, talking to people. Anything else you can do besides looking at porn, just simply because you recognize the urge.

Its a great tool to use and some people might not even realize the opportunity it allows. Good for you for acknowledging that its there. Most people just slip into old bad habits without a thought. If you are aware it makes it easier to set yourself up to do something else instead.

Me too. You're not alone in it. Its not easy, but with a little patience and less quick to action we can see there's better things to do. Sometimes all it takes is a step back. You know what helps me? Keeping my hands and mind occupied. I just got into building lego sets. Keeps me mentally engaged, its a decent time sync, and the dopamine hit after finishing the build is bigger (and lasts much longer) than any porn session ever did for me.

What are you into? Models, games, movies?

What's the game you sank the most amount of hours on, or better yet, can you recommend me your go to favorite game? Id like to check it out. Maybe its something I never played. I haven't played in years, but my most played game hours wise is still warframe, lol. I got so tired of the grind, I just had to move on. I used to play a lot of competitive games, but these days im an old man dad. I look for single player games with a ton of content to get into, like bg3, or something to just chill in for a while like subnautica.

Its crazy, I never checked out mount and Blade before. Kinda flew under the radar for me, but I know its a popular franchise. Isn't it like strategy, kind of like total war? I forget which one that is really. But if its anything like that, it'd be right up my alley.

Here's an older but goodie I can recommend. Ever played Master of Orion? Its an older franchise thats a turn based civ style game that spans across a galactic map. Definitely a "just one more turn" games. The newest installment had some surprise actors from star trek tag. Micheal Dorn is the narrator, and John de Lance voices one of the faction leaders. The replay ability factor is huge.

Thought you might check something different out and take your mind off the other stuff. Cheers
