@sm1else No one ever said it was a game. Many people who are trying to get over the addiction are very serious in eliminating it. It is a challenge for certain people to get over this type of addiction.

You're still a virgin. You can try to gradually build your addiction down and also try to get as much distraction as possible.

There is a group on Reddit called NoFap (not joking), they have all sorts of topics to fight masturbation and porn addiction. Here's an emergency tool: http://emergency.nofap.com and here's a great Ted talk about porn addiction by Gary Wilson, it will help you start off and then you can research more about the Reddit group: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU

Actually, instead of the NoFap challenge (I hate this name, overcoming sex addiction is not a challenge, nor a game) I would take a look at http://yourbrainonporn.com/ It gots great article about that and a pretty active forum.

I'm not trying to relaspe no offense but that reddit video seems to me to be making fun of the addiction.

You are indeed still a virgin. You aren't a virgin until you actually have sexual intercourse. Now to get over the addiction you might want to consider getting help from a therapist and help from friends and family and being open about your addiction. There is nothing wrong with asking for help especially when the help will change you for the better.
