Whose literature got you to stop being a coomer and start practicing restraint? For me, it was pic-related–Phaedo, to be exact.

Plato was an unrepentant coomer

I can't stop masturbating, anons. I can't take this anymore. I keep doing this every day and I can't stop thinking about porn. Help me.

get off porn first, then stop masturbating. Easy does it anon, cold-turkey just encourages relapses.

You live in a skinner box where you push a button and get a reward, reinforcing the urge to keep pushing the button. It seems there are 2 obvious solutions. The first is to take yourself out of the box as much as possible through outside/social activities and the second is to stop being so weak-willed when you're in it

Plato coomed at the form of beauty, you backwards mong. To suggest that he lusted after shadows is pure heresy.

I didn't need a book to not be a coomer, but Lysistrata is probably the first anti-coomer work in all of literature.

I once spent a month and a half reading a chinese webnovel. Technically that's still internet, but I was so engrossed in it that I didn't visit any other site. I didn't even know covid was a thing.

oh, and in that period of time, I would go like five or six days without masterbating because I just wasn't bombarded with imagery that spiked my libido like I normally was.

Nietzsche:
>The reabsorption of semen by the blood is the strongest nourishment and, perhaps more than any other factor, it prompts the stimulus of power, the unrest of all forces toward the overcoming of resistances, the thirst for contradiction and resistance.

Figure out what triggers your addiction, and distance yourself. It can be: environment, media, people, even thoughts.
An alcoholic can't have liquor in the house, or go to a bar, or be around other boozers because that will trigger his addiction.
A porn addict is kind of screwed, because you can't escape the internet. It's on your phone, your computer, at libraries, at your grandma's house - no matter where you go there are devices with internet.
This is the end of a golden age, when things collapse, and people become diseased. Simply put, you're being tested, and you just have to overcome it any way you can. Prove you're worthy of the infinite universe. Prove you can navigate a dark age. You can do it, anon.

It's amazing how insidious it is, so much worse than prostitution.
I wish some religious extremists would decapitate the people who profit from it.
