Theres this guy I know ;) Actually there really is, no really, who has a very REAL problem with well, the title says it all. Please, if anyone has solid practical advice and not just the standard 12 step or religious anecdotes you would be of great help. Thanks.

What is the source of this "media"? If it's from the computer, put the computer in a public place. Also have him do something else (ie bball, running) when he gets tempted to "play with himself".

WHat do you consider a "problem" ?

If he just owns a lot of porn, nothing wrong with that. If this porn, watching it, and masturbating is detracting him from school / outings / etc. then intervention might be necessary.

Try to get him into a place where there are more people, or put the computer in a place with more distractions. If you're in a dorm type environment, try to keep people around.

I'd say offering to help him with his problem would cure it real quick, but since you're already helping yourself...........

12 steps?

How about 2 steps....

1. Wrap your pillowcases with sandpaper
2. Cut off your hands

So many wise people but only one useful suggestion (relocating PC) so far.

How about cutting supply channels: If it comes from the Internet, get a ISP with no Usenet feed. Get a "Nanny" software. Cancel credit cards to which online memberships at porno sites are charged. Downgrade cable/sattelite to basic. Shred DVDs and tape from videos... I guess I am getting too creative here :)


NO, I do NOT have had this kind of problem. :)
