Hey people! So after a year or so without watching porn and figuring out it's nature, figuring out how I feel about sex and what I actually need versus what porn tells me I need, and figuring out what makes me happy in a relationship I tried watching porn for the first time to serve as a checkup: how it made me feel and whatnot. Needless to say it did absolutely nothing for me. As I watched something that would normally get me hard, it just made me go "meh. That looks more painful for her than anything. Yikes." and just turned it off and continued with my night. Didn't get hard, didn't get warm and fuzzy. Just found myself kinda tired, as I did this at night when I used to watch porn, feed the geese, then go to bed fairly regularly. I told my girlfriend I was doing it, so that way I could tell her how I felt about it and she could give me another opinion. I thought I'd share my experience here with you people and say that it feels DAMN good to be over that and be able to talk about it with people. My girlfriend knows everything and is super supportive which helps tremendously, and also having a medium like this where other people can relate also feels incredibly awesome. I'm really glad I found this place, and I hope you all are too and are able to find solace and solutions to whatever issue you may feel you have.
That's a great story man and I am happy for you! Just be careful not to slip up from looking at it to see how you feel. But I understand why you did!
Lol yeah definitely not turning that into a crutch. I prefer to not tumble down the rabbit hole again. Nothing's worth that. Valid concern! Thank you!
Didn't mean to insult you or make you think I was questioning your decisions, just thought for me that could be a problem. Obviously you are doing an amazing job and have it well under control. Keep up the great work man!
Congratulations! This seems like a story of a full and complete recovery. Is it? If so, I think you're entitled to claim it. Make it a big, loud, and proud proclamation for yourself and a beacon of hope for everyone to see; we can win this battle and live PMO free.
Thank you, kind sir! Already done (scroll to the top) https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...ree-literature-with-pride.111673/#post-926834 Beacon shining bright and in all directions, as far as the signal will go
