  1. I've been single for almost 8 years. Is that bad?

    10 months between my Ex and my Canadian girlie.

    8 months and counting now. Trying to get better at it.
    I'm literally trying to devote my time to self improvement. But instead I'm getting weirder and more detached.

    I have never had a real relationship I dont think. I think they have all been damaged in some way by porn. It has been many many years...

    about 7.5 years now.

    In that time I have had 2 girls kiss me, 1 of which I touched her "down there", but that was all.

    And then I spent 3 years of that chasing and getting over another girl. And then the next few years I've just gone into work and focused on that and my love life hope has died a death. By joining PMO ban I hope this will change someday soon.

    Same here am 24 and I never had a relationship in my whole life...sounds so sad...but mistakes are mine I was so occupied with my PMO addiction that I almost lost interest in girls......never even tried to befriend a girl or even talk due to low self confidence but I wanna change things now...enough is enough I wanna feel real love....want to be cared and loved by someone....

    I had 114 days before that, but I had a bad week. It's easy to fall back into old habits.

  16. Ah I see, how did you overcome your urges? If you don't mind me asking.

    I don't mind - there was a lot to it. I got really in the zone and intense. One thing that helped me was the drama of leaving Canada and moving back into my house in the States. I had no choice but to be in Beast Mode to get thru it. If I felt like I was getting turned on I pictured doing the most non-sexual things possible, like working on my cars in the garage until it passed. After the 90 days was up I went back to experiment with sexual thoughts. That's when it got away from me. Now I'm trying to learn about going back to be a viable male. Without a partner it's the trickiest part of the journey so far.

  18. The master plan is to get busy when urges come huh...It is tricky because my libido goes back up like a rocket and no girlfriend to take care of it. Ever heard of sexual transmutation? I think that's the term for "getting busy and being productive using that sexual energy". Best of luck!

    I dated a couple of times but never really had a real relationship. Good to know I'm not the only one struggling with that. Like others PMO became my escape but I plan on changing that.

    I am at my 26 but never had in relationships. A girl wanted to have me but i knew she was in love with another guy since their childhood and the guy lived abroad. So i thought she is using me to feel better in the absence of her abroad-living-boyfriend. But we flirted a lot. She married that guy and went with him abroad. Now miss her sort of.
