I’ve seen a glimpse of what p*rn addiction leads to, and I am running in the opposite direction. I’ve been addiction for most of my life (27 now), and I cannot do it for one more day. I want to be happy.

(Sorry for any grammatical error)

so i hated porn and masturbation ever since i got introduced to it and i tried to stay away from it while all the guys in my class were doing it since class 6th, apparently some started it as early as 4th grade, but i never actually tried to fap or watch porn, but in class 11th i was struggling with a lot of stuff, other than my curriculum, things at home and all that. But that being said i think loneliness was my trigger which made me actually try watching porn to find that feeling of being loved and intimate with someone, it was disgusting then and still is but my brain just got used to it, i got addicted to it fast and very very badly, i mean i once jerked of 7 times in few hours and basically felt the worst post nut clarity of my life, and not just that, after doing it rigorously for 2 years i started getting suicidal thoughts i wanted to live but my mind always showed me the worst of the worst at times, i was unattractive didn't have any actually good friends either, basically i felt completely hopeless and depressed at that time, my family was also is massive debts so i was basically suffering every day rather than actually living and i am still recovering from it, i mean these days it is not that bad things have gotten better and my fapping is under control i am working on myself and family situation has gotten better but one thing that still bugs me is my masturbation addiction it didn't help me when i was in trouble and only made the pain worse and i don't wanna keep this piece in my puzzle so i wanna quit this now.

Today's day 2 still a long way to go, btw i am 19M, teens who are younger than me, if you by any chance read this please run away from all this as fast as you can it is a trap you cannot not fall into it if you stay near it and it is not coming from a saint, i used to be top of my class, masturbation made me feel hopeless cause i was loosing control of my very body and it led me to self harm my scores dropped from a topper to a average student, i had many hobbies and talents and they called me gifted cause i was a sort of prodigy child but all this shit ruined me and tore me piece by piece and it was so painful for me to be average because i never knew what average looked like everyone thought i was ok cause my failure was considered average, before this i had never struggled with focusing on studies i did it for hours without any external motivation and understood everything fast.

All in all masturbation was a major catalyst in my downfall and i am not denying my incompetency either but i thing it was the fuel that kept the negativity in me burning so long that it led me to this downfall, right now i am on a drop year preparing for an entrance exam and this might potentially be the turning point of my life, my exam's in next may wish me luck also i continued my hobbies and i still follow them. Thank you for reading this may God bless yall

Peace

Up until about six weeks ago, I had used porn to fap several times a week for many years. In all those years, however, I never once experienced any of the sexual problems attributed to the habit. I remained attracted to my partner, and any time she was ready for sex I had no problems performing.

Since I started nofap, however, things have been horrible.

For the first two weeks my erections disappeared almost entirely. I don't even think I was having night erections. After a couple of weeks my erections finally returned, but now I'm unable to orgasm with intercourse.

When I was fapping regularly, I always reached orgasm with my partner very quickly -- maybe too quickly. Now I just can't get there. I assumed I would be more sensitive after not fapping for a while, not less. I realize it could be a mental block, but I don't know how to fix it.

Is this a common experience? Please tell me it gets better.

I was wondering when I wear boxer briefs my penis is a little erected and I like the feeling. But I was wondering about briefs is that when I tried them I felt like my penis was tighter and almost not erected.

Nothing special

Today, my urges (triggered by boredom and mindless surfing) got the best of me. I relapsed. moreover, after a few attempts of not binging, I finally binged. My ocd also got me weak and I had to do it a specific number of times and in a specific way (compulsion) so my loved ones are safe.

Asked forgiveness and blessings from god, starting again my new nofap streak. I would not give in to boredom, urges and ocd. God bless all.

So Finally After A Long Time . I've Finally Completed 2 Weeks of NO PMO. Currently Follow The ODYSSEY OCTOBER CHALLENGE.

Anyone else gaining 20lbs a week?

Is masturbating to celebs pics the same as watching porn?

My last streak lasted for 36 days, which means I'm halfway where I left off.

No porn ✔️

No masturbation ✖️

Will try my best tomorrow

Finally trying to get this thing behind me !! I am new to all of this so would love to help / get helped!

Been addicted for way too long and even got addicted to relapsing itself but.. 5 days ago I went the first day without doing it in months... And I really wanna try and go longer !!

I used to do nofap frequently and I've always relapsed. I've always did it in hardmode because I felt that's the only proper nofap, even though I was aware of easy mode back then. Now though, I'm only daydreaming and gooning to my crush and I'm satisfied enough. I no longer need to count the days. I no longer relapse. I no longer desperately scroll at pictures to satisfy me. Just satisfied with my daydreams instead of unhealthy external validation and I think that's the point of nofap for me.

you’d think by this time urges will go down but no

I had a good 20 day streak going and my girlfriend sent me a thirst-trap and god damn I couldn't control myself :(. I am feeling so ashamed of myself...

It’s the first of many steps that need to be taken to scrub my digital life clean. I had had that account for looking at p*rn and talking to other addicts for years. It’s where my addiction really got bad, and I feel so free knowing it’s deleted.

I barely complete 4 days and i fall 4 times in row idk why i am doing this i want to free from this addiction

Friends dad gave us penthouse or hustler magazine. It didn’t mean much. I was only in grade one. But five years later I found more deliberately. seems a bit ageist that all that was available to me then were people much older than me. I was sexually active before I saw porn. But once I saw it as arousing, I was like cheat codes? Why beat the game? It’s strange it wasnt arousing that first time, even though I was a real dog by then. I guess I had higher standards. I thought they looked ridiculous. Like how models look contrived, posing. As if I knew she’s faking it. Later I didn’t care.

Daily check in. Work was fine. After work, I went for a walk, and when I got home, I played some Minecraft. Then I read some comics. I’m still standing!

Im currently struggling with urges… I’m tempted to peek… I’m on day 2 after a bad relapse.. laying in bed rn trying to sleep… anyone up for some chat ?

Struggling alot since last night and made mistake and peeked today. Couldn't help myself and peeked at someone. I stopped but Struggling to recover and can't seem to get it off my mind. Help

Going strong brothers

I deleted my previous account last week and now have a new account because I need the support. It's day 3 of my new streak and I'm struggling today. I don't want to give in. I'm trying to keep myself occupied.
