~23 years is my best guess. EDIT: I just wanted to add that this is also the first time that I've decided to recognize it as an addiction, and to fight it. If you've got 3 or 4 years of addiction that you're looking at, don't look at my 23 and say "My god! It's hopeless!" No. Start fighting it now. Quit now. You have recognized and acknowledged your issue way sooner than I have. That is a good thing. Keep going.
Thirty two years. Although it was all magazines and video tapes at that time, but I was hooked from the first time I saw a magazine I haven't MO'd to porn in almost two years, but I'm still addicted
Became fixated at first exposure at age 6. So obsessed with 33 years. Truly addicted since I stated masturbating so 26 and a half years.
You guys are so young, do whatever it takes to be free from this. My husband has led a life of misery, so much guilt, shame, and despair. We just discovered it was an addiction in January. Spending a small fortune in counseling, group, and porn blockers, but it’s worth it and the physical and mental changes in him are astounding!
Exposure at 11 years old, so about 18 years with 4 or 5 years entirely PMO and MO free somewhere in there. Then it caught up with me again.
I thought 4 years was a long time, of course, that's enough to hurt the life of those who are addicted, but I didn't know how many people fought for a long time. For sure, it is better to stop as soon as possible.
