Hello from Brooklyn

Hi all, 25 year old male here. Lifelong MO and on and off PMO user trying to work on better controlling my MO habit and focus my energies on seeking sex in a relationship with a partner. First started getting interested in nofap last August when I was deep into a PMO phase. I am happy to say that looking at people’s stories here motivated me to quit watching porn and it has had a really positive impact on my life. Happy to say I have been porn free since last August. Had a 47-day streak that ended in sex with a partner whom I have been on and off for periods of a couple months since then, but I have found my MO habit to be hard to control in between times when I am not dating.

I tend to turn to MO in times of stress with work and to help sleep and I am noticing that it’s hard for me to resist the urge. Lately, all the stress from my job and with all of the frequent MO I have been having problems having erections despite having a high sex drive. I aim to do a reboot (normal or contemplating hard mode) to try and learn to control my MO habit and channel that energy into a healthy sexual relationship with a partner. I wanted to join NoFap to hold myself accountable with the community and to be involved with everyone on their journey. Best of luck to all the newcomers and looking forward to sharing and supporting people here on their journies.
