I've quit going to the gym for about a month now, and something happened which I didn't expect. Rather than increasing my urges they actually decreased. This makes perfect sense in my opinion, at least if you're not having sex. When I went to the gym I'd usually have more energy in my body, but it also meant a lot of excess energy with nowhere to spend it. So I ended up going to porn most of the time when I didn't know how to get rid of all my energy. However, I'd be interested to know if there is anyone who actually goes to the gym regularly (3-6 days a week), under the age of 35, who is not having sex and has actually been off porn at minimum more than a month.
The reason I think this is important to ask oneself is because I've never heard of people who are unfit having a problem with immediate gratification, aside from a food addiction. It seems to me it would be easier to stay away from porn for one of two reasons: 1. you have a girlfriend/somewhere else to place your emotions or have sex with. 2. You aren't high strung on testosterone from going to the gym all the time.
Intuitively, it seems not exercising would be the easiest way to decrease urges, provided one has a fairly busy schedule.
