Through prayer, fasting, acts of charity, and the sacraments. Also touching grass helps

I'm not religious but the way I do it is 1. get used to using your mental images and memories for arousal, and 2. imagine how lame it would be if you were still watching porn in 10 years

it is pretty crazy yeah. I feel like the age of pornography isn't the right term for it though. The age of stimulation, or just the age of the internet, those feel kore accurate to me, while also encompassing the pornography aspect.

“The age of stimulation” is even more wild to me.

Both you and number 1 appear to be correct. It’s just wild we had a Bronze Age, Iron Age, industrial age, modern age, digital age, and now whatever this age is… it’s as if abstaining from the stimulus is the inversion of thousands of years of instinct but it is somehow the key to success.

What do you mean by using mental images for arousal? How does that help with abstaining?
