Only Idiot to Post Real Name

Welcome - I am 33 and can identify with your story. I’ve been coming to this site on and off and have met some good people. The trouble is I’m so messed up I don’t know how to form connections anymore. Everything has become sexualized for me in a way, and over the years I’ve accumulated all manner of inner wounds that I’m kind of just emptied me out inside. It can’t be true but it feels like I have nothing to offer.

And yet I hope for a better life, and for improvement (relief) to come soon through support given on this site and the information shared. I’m sure you’ll find like minded people to mutually support and that you’ll start stringing some days of sobriety together.

 

You're not alone man. I used my real name too. Haha

 

You are not alone.
I am 36 years old and, roughly, my story is similar to yours.
You think that in our first 5 years of marriage, my wife and I were unable to have a full sexual relationship, due to my impotence due to compulsive masturbation.
Be vigilant and forceful!

 

I think joining these forums and actively participating is a great first step. I joined NoFap almost a year and a half ago. I tried and failed many times to quit, but eventually ended up breaking and giving back in. I always came back though and I never gave up. Currently I'm on the longest streak that I've ever had, and I'm hoping this is the one that sticks. For me, I think a big part of my success has been coming on these forums everyday, updating my own posts and then also reading through other people's stories about their successes, failures, everything. I probably come on here too much now but it's a hell of a lot better than wasting all day consumed by porn. Good luck and don't give up. If you truly want this, you'll figure out a way to stop.
