Hi, I'm 37 yo, male, single, watching porn since I was 15 perhaps. First it was softcore porn in magazines, then on TV/Video and later hardcore porn on DVD and finally over the Internet. I never felt bad or guilty about it, i enjoyed masturbaring two/three times a week and still do. I don't think that I'm overly addicted (am I?), I don't fap until late in the night, don't need it every day, never missed school or work because of it. There is max. a day per week, when i dedicate a few hours to porn and masturbating. But there is one thing I recognized lately: I needed more and more kinky and fetish stuff to get horny and didn't have a good orgasm without any porn for a long time. It did work without, but it wasn't as satisfying. So I decided to try to reduce my porn consumption. The plan was to do "only" 14 days without PMO. Didn't think that i would make it, but here I am! That was even before I found this community by accident. Now that I read some storys, I consider to go further, but don't know if I can make it through today. On the one hand I was looking forward to today a lot, on the other hand, it would be a great achievement for me to make it another 14 days.

Welcome to the Nofap community. The NO PMO journey is not easy but worth the effort. The community will support you, That’s a great idea: prolong your journey for another 14 days. I guess you will find out if you are addicted to P and M or not. Enjoy the journey!
