Hello, everyone! What you are about to read has been bothering me for quite a while. I will cut to the chase and be as brief as possible.

I am a 21 year old male pursuing Masters and preparing for various competitive exams, which means that I have a lot on my plate already. Of late, I came across a few web-series on internet, which showed everything that I expect of me and my (future) partner; also, a few sexual scenes in it made me really turned on.

I had promised myself that until I started working, I wouldn't either look at porn or download any dating apps. But the urge to do both of the above things was so strong that I ended up watching porn and dwelling upon negative thoughts of what my future would be, would I look good, etc, thereby wasting almost two weeks of my time. I got turned on and felt confused at the same time.

Now my heart sinks when I look back at what I have done. I am scared that I have got addicted to watching porn (I end up watching twice in six months). Also, where I used to masturbate twice a week, I have started to every alternate day.

What do I do to resist myself from watching such web-series? Since I have broken my promise with myself, have I got addicted to porn?

Thank you so much for reading this much! My Regards.
