Hey Luc,
Keep it up. It is worth it. If it wasn't you wouldn't be having a pity party over your buddies girlfriends. This is different for everybody. As a married man I can't really relate to how this would work for a single guy. But for me, ditching the porn just made me feel like a better person and made me more avialble emotionally to my wife. It used to be that if I didn't get the sex I wanted I would sulk off and "reward" myeslf with a porn binge. That's just not healthy. Now if I don't get what I want, I go for it, or we talk about it which is how communication should work in a relationship. Long tem the porn will get in the way of having healthy sex with a woman. Keep working at it, use healthy masturbation and believe that it is worth it. It isn't magic, you won't become a chick magnet over night, but long term you'll be a better man to yourself and the woman you choose to be with and that is the point of the exercise.
