You are probably not horny every time you fap. That means you fap/watch porn to feel better or distract yourself from something.

Figure out why you fap/consume porn when you are not horny. Deal with that problem.

Go cold turkey with porn/fapping. There will be ups and downs but after about 3 weeks you will be ok. If you can last 2-3 months you will feel 100 times better (like gettig a hard on whne you see a (not even a very hot) girl on a street). After that you can go back to normal but only fap when you are horny. Dont look at porn, it will mess you up.
