    This is the major trigger that catapulted me towards PMO. I would like to open up a dialog about this topic. The conversation is overdue. This is a very integral part of overcoming this addiction to PMO. As I have learned by participating in this forum. I am not alone. I am certain I am not alone in this either. I would like to welcome others to join the discussion. I know it will be difficult. As I write this, I feel my nerves kicking in. Lets combat this issue together. We no longer have to surrender our power to these thoughts. I will post more on my experience in a few, my nerves are getting the best of me. But, I did it. I started the thread!

    I have one testicle. That is the major one. The scars that accompany they surgeries were a big issue for a long time. As was the removal of my foreskin and having essentially a brand new penis. Coupled with the normal body stuff we go through like being too fat or too skinny it has been a challenge. Others not so much.

    What steps do you feel that you will take to combat this issue? Are there ways that you can find positive self image with regards to your penis and your body especially with your wife? Because we are not just here to stop old habits and negative thought patterns but instead to create new pathways, new empowered perspectives! Dude this is a very brave thread and so important to so many people. So often shame or embarrassing feelings towards ourselves made us introverts and paved the way for us to be porn addicted men.

    I have joined a group that I found for men with one testicle. It is good to not feel like the only one. My wife is okay with it. So communication with her is a very important part of the process. So far she has been amazing with all of this, as I am very honest with her about my intentions and actions. She may not know all that I say here but she knows what I am up to which is extremely helpful.
