Sometimes I get intrusive thoughts / fantasies. I immediately surrender these to Hashem, asking Him to take my lust. It sounds like you're doing something similar.

I do the same thing when I get the urge to look at porn. This urge isn't always an outgrowth of less overt lusting. Sometimes it just hits me head-on. My approach is exactly the same -- surrender the urge to Hashem. Verbally.

Hatzlocha!

I find myself either totally clean from all erotic material or falling fully...

My problem is that I get sudden overwhelming urges and go straight for the porn.

...if I made a taphsic on 'smaller' things I would end up breaking a lot of them and then the taphsic would become useless to me.

First you say that there are no little things... Then you say that if you made shvuas on the little things you'd keep breaking them.

I'm confused???

I don't find that the 'little things' are giving me the porn urges that make me fall.....

and if I make a neder on the 'little' things anyway, I'm more likely to end up breaking it.

For example, if I made a neder on watching 10 minutes of TV as Avrom did, I am more likely to end up breaking my neder, and for no gain because the urges I have fallen on didn't start from watching TV but came all of a sudden.
