Lol,watch porn for 5 hours,Your case is serious.
I have sex more than the average dudes and I still watch porn and masturbate thrice or twice a week.
Mastubation is good.Excess of it is bad.

You need to rely on your faith to break the cycle.
You want to stop
Its destroying your productivity and obviously affecting your relations . People have given threads and online info . Let me add this.

Break the pattern. Take small meaningful steps to break that pattern.
1. Work outside your home. Since you work for yourself then find a place OUTSIDE your home to work in . Pay for it. Even if its just one day of the week. Rent office space or find one of these cohub workspaces and pay. Factor rent into your business.
2. Start a sport. Sports require people. Force yourself out of your comfort zone. Be around ppl where you are forced to interact.
3. Participate. Your prayers require you MAKING an effort. God works with us so quit being lazy show you are READY to quit.
4. See women as humans living and breathing. Change that mindset. Porn is 1dimensional real Life isn't.

You will succeed in Christ name.
Since you've opened about this you will feel much better. No need to feel like a hypocrite, you've confessed it and asked for help use that help and celebrate small victories and continue to make PROGRESS.

First of all repent from your sin and accept Christ as your Lord and saviour and also ask Him for the grace not to fall again. Then watch your motives, actions and internet activities. I pray God will have mercy on you

I have this strong urge to slap strong sense into you right now

There’s much wrong with it. If there’s nothing,then why do individuals feel guilty after the act

MrBrownJay1:
1st of all understand that there is NOTHING wrong with masturbation... just like anything in life, its the EXCESS masturbation that is the problem here, to the point where you prefer wanking than earn money (job)...

as this is an extreme case, you need to do it COLD TURKEY... but as you are a grown man, its all down to your own will to sop, as there will be no one around you to tell you DONT DO IT. i suggest you stay around people, you get your mind off sex, maybe even get a girlfriend and get rid of all the SEXUAL FRUSTRATION that is bothering you, but as you said you are shy, then this is a tough one.

as for god/praying, this is useless because, as i said before, there is NOTHING wrong with masturbating.... but hey, if you think this is wrong in your god's eyes, then then why dont you ask him for help.

i guess the same way someone could feel guilty after kissing someone OR after buying something OR after eating something...

Porn0addict:
I had to create another account to type this.

Help guys!!! I am a 25 years old guy who is seriously addicted to pornography. I spent 5 hours watching pornography and masturbating yesterday. 2 hours in the afternoon. 3 hours at night.

It started 10 years ago with a porn DVD a friend lent me after I finished secondary school. Since then I have been in this mess. It affected my results in the University. During normal school days I miss some lectures due to masturbation. When it is exam time, I partake in it even more. Thereby I procrastinate reading till the day before exam or some hours before an exam starts. I was very brilliant in secondary school and even in my Part 1 days.

Even during my NYSC days, I continued.

I am a freelancer and I work from home. I was supposed to be working on projects worth hundreds of dollars with a various deadlines but I spent 5 hours out of that time watching porn. Working at home has been a sort of disadvantage like I have power on my laptop and I have access to good internet too.

I don't think working outside will solve it. When I was on 400 level IT. I wake up as early as 5 am to get to work early. Yet I can watch porn from 11 pm to 4 am. Valuable time that I could have spent perfecting my web design and programming skills. So, I sleep in the bus in the morning and the evening. I also sleep at work during my break time then. Getting an outside job won't solve it.

I am an introvert who hardly talk to girls. I am kind of shy and hardly look anyone in the face. But I am financially comfortable, average looking with taller than average height. I dress okay but not flamboyant. Girls try to talk to me at times but I don't respond well due to my shyness.

I feel like an hypocrite. Among my friends, I go to church the most and they have a kind of respect for me since I don't sleep around, drink or indulge in other vices. But I masturbate almost everyday. These guys may not sleep with their girlfriends for a week. But me, I hardly go without masturbating. Deep inside me, I know I am far worse than them.

When I gave my life to Christ, the urge went away for about 2 weeks and I was very happy with my life generally. But I fell back to it again. A lot of times, I feel so guilty that I can't pray. I was one of those mocking our chaplain in secondary school when he talked about the hazards of masturbation. This was because I hadn't engaged in it then and I didn't know the consequences.

Now I am so unproductive. I used to be very innovative and creative, brimming with several ideas that a lot of people look up to me. But now, I hardly have time for anything. It's just from one deadline to another. I know I can finish my jobs comfortably but pornography takes a huge chunk of my time. Plus after you masturbate, you get depressed and you don't have that deep motivation to work fast and accomplish lots of things in little time.

It's been 10 years now. My life is wasting away. I have started facing that marriage pressure from my parents. On the outside, I look perfectly okay and many people admire me. They come to me for advise and financial aid. But on the inside I am dying. I know I have a lot of potential in me. I know I am not meant to be mediocre. I don't want to live that average life of just earning some money, marriage and death. I know I am meant to impact a lot of people. I had a lot of plans that went dead.

Sometimes I even have suicidal thoughts. I feel death will be better rather than this misery. I have tried a lot of things but I can't just stop. The worst part is pornography make me see women as sexual objects some times. A lot of Nigerian men also hold this viewpoint but I know it is terribly wrong.

Sometimes after listening to Christian tapes and messages, the urge goes away for two days but it comes again and I fall. I don't to fall at all.

Maybe I will just start listening to Christian tapes and music 24/7. But I can't concentrate on work if I do that. Or I could just take 2 hour breaks to listen to Godly messages.

Guys please what do you think. I need serious help. You could be saving a brother from a miserable life or even suicide.

Thanks in anticipation of your response. Feel free to bash and insult me. I need it.
