I just get bored of it. I try to look for something to turn me on but just end up wasting too much time trying and then I get bored and give up. I would never pay for it that's for sure.

if you can spend atleast 3 days without watching it or looking at it or even attempting to, then you dont have an addiction

Put down the bag of cheetos, get off your ass, and go do something besides watching porn. If that does not do it then go get help from a mental health professional.
I have doubts as to whether this is a true addiction, or more of a problem because you have no life. Only you know so to change you need to actually do something.

No one here can help you if you're going to be so vague about your habits and how they are messing with your life. We don't even know if you are sexually active.
At any rate, the key is not to be hard on yourself or set goals bigger than you can grasp. Obviously you have tried cold turkey or you wouldn't be here saying you can't quit.
Try instead cutting out video, organizing a small collection of favorite images, and planning quick sessions during whatever times you are least likely to fall down a k-hole and go on edging for hours. Use the images for stimulation, but when you near the point of no return put them away, and end on the strength of a good memory or fantasy about a real person you know. As you do this, focus on the senses you have missed out on when watching porn. Imagine touch, taste, smell, and emotion. The absence of these things are what gives porn its power as a dragon chase. Sight and sound alone never totally satisfy, and the user is prone to continually seek out more exciting content, which often means more deviant and more shocking. Get back to the basics of beauty and pleasure and of sex as a multi-sensory experience.
I'm not a healthcare professional. Consider seeking one out. Porn addiction is no joke and you may well need therapy or a medical solution.

I think the first step is to determine if it's a social feeling driving him to believe he has a porn addiction or if it's a REAL addiction.
If your life is fine and you're a functioning adult that has normal social relationships(friends, co-workers, etc) and eats and sleeps regularly, has a normal job and gets by in life normally you don't have an addiction. If you just look at a lot of porn and masturbate constantly but still do all of life's things then you just watch a lot of porn and might feel guilty due to social issues. It's really about how things work with your life. If you personally feel like you just watch too much then you still might just not be addicted but are just watching a lot. So make a personal choice to change your life. If you're actually addicted and it's negatively effecting your life then you should consider seeing a specialist.

I don't agree with this at all, because as near as I can tell you're leaving sex out of "normal social relationships" and "gets by in life normally." A serious intimate relationship is the centerpiece of a normal, healthy life for most people, and if he wants this but doesn't have it, or it isn't functioning well, his masturbation and porn habits are almost certainly a factor.
If he is forgoing sex, or declining social opportunities that might lead to sex, on a day when he has masturbated earlier, then these habits are absolutely affecting his life. The woman in his bed falls asleep alone, the woman at the club goes home with someone else, the woman at the cafe meets another man and takes his number, while homeboy spends the evening playing video games and feeling in control of his life.

Considering that sex isn't tied directly to social interaction...yes I am. Because I don't know if you realize this or not but not having sex is not only not a crime it's also entirely up to the individual's decision as to if they even want to engage in it. You can't define normal social behavior as engaging in sex because asexuality as well as lack of appeal and lack of a suitable partner are all factors that exist and like it or not you don't have to have sex all the time to be normal. It's perfectly healthy to not have sex if it's a voluntary choice.
Also...masturbation and porn addiction aren't tied together...you can be a sex addict and masturbate constantly and not watch porn, similarly you can be addicted to porn and not actually masturbate all that often.
Thanks though for taking the time to make it sound like he's fucked up if he doesn't want to have sex with the club skank. Cause ya know...making people believe that heartless fucking with random whores is a pinnacle of normalcy does wonders for..oh NO ONE. Cripes, it's like people come here specifically to give people more complexes. What if he is undesirable and it's out of his control? What if he's sexually confused, what if it's any one of a hundred factors that are out of his control? So now he can't get laid and you just made him feel like he's even more of a weirdo because he's not having sex, which drives isolation and increases the likelihood of forming an ACTUAL mental health issue if he doesn't have an addiction problem like depression and anxiety both of which lead to an increase in suicidal tendencies.
SO THANKS FOR BEING HELPFUL BY INSINUATING HE NEEDS TO BE A MANWHORE AND BANG EVERYTHING ON TWO LEGS TO BE NORMAL.

All these what-ifs to whiteknight for a guy who's had every opportunity to offer details about his situation - because oh dear, what if hurt his feelings by telling him to tweak his wank schedule? How emotionally invested are you in the incel life, buddy? Forsooth, it has begun to affect your reading comprehension. Well aware that homeboy may well be asexual, disabled, underage, or in some other unique situation, I made a point of mentioning a normal, healthy life FOR MOST PEOPLE. Look up the numbers. It varies by country, but in the US almost all people eventually marry. Not just enjoy an intimate relationship, but marry. Over 90%. Oh I bet that makes you just livid. How dare the world have a normal in it somewhere. Stamp it out!
Similarly I offered three different examples of things his sex drive might drive him to view as important, were he not in an endless state of self-satiation: sleep with a spouse or romantic partner, seek out casual sex, or meet someone he's interested in for a date. Again you zeroed in on the part you didn't like so you could throw a fit and wag your finger.
I'll skip the part where you play what-if psychiatrist, because you aren't qualified to discuss mental health issues.

The whole point of what-ifs is because you don't know what damage is already done and what could potentially be done. Holy crap you're more dense than Osmium. The idea is to help people not throw them down a pit of complexes to fuck them up even more. Also what's that divorce rate in america? You have no idea how to deal with people or do anything but cause more problems as is evident by your bull in a china shop mentality. Just STOP.

Cold Turkey. Sex from now on. No porn just sex. That's the least strenuous way of kicking the habit.

Personally, I cured my porn addiction by smoking crack! Worked great, haven't watched porn in years. I do smoke crack daily and have not held a job in years though, so that's a minor drawback of my method.

go on omegle. After seeing 3 cams you will be cured. Unless you are queer.

Keep your self busy with other things would be my advice. And try to limit how much you watch and on what days so you get it back under control. Porn in moderation is fine, but i'm assuming it is causing you issues if you are asking how to get rid of it.
