    Hi all :) I'm happy to be here I hope this will help me. Being here I want to have an honest opinion. I have jerk not so often in my life before this last period, but some months ago I have found porn chats and so and now I found myself go often to this chats. I started feel guilty of this after a while, and now I'm trying to stop with all of these and return to have a normal abit with masturbation and porn. Tbh I don't think that the complete abstinence is good way for me, I simply thought that masturbation is healthy if done "correctly" and that porn is only a support for it (I don't idealize porn, it's simply porn nothing special, it's a tool to help you get "the job" done). My problem is that I'm just starting to have an addiction, tbh the last week I have jerk too much but the one before just one time and without porn (it was only a "relief" if we can call it that way, even without so much of enjoyment aside the normal) the point is, I had stop and I was good then this last week I had fallen in the spiral again. And now I'm struggling a little to get out and because of this I'm here. To give you a little of background: I'm 24 y.o. single and I have a couple of problem in my life as anxiety and maybe a little of depression, this whole had brought me to watch porn more often and jerk, I know the real problem are those but I also think that if I would stop for a while I would be able to work better on these problems, fix them, and so not falling again in the bad abit of watching too much porn.
    In the end, I know I have this starting problem, I want to fix it and go back to my normal state and fix the real problems. Now it's two days that I don't jerk but I have watched porn. What are your opinions? Thanks to all for have listened to me, sorry for my English maybe being there I would get better with it too :)

    An honest opinion, a good place to start.

    In my honest opinion, and from years of experience: quite simply, do not look at p. Avoid it.

    Try your very hardest for a period (of let's say 2 weeks to start with) and see how much better you feel.

    Get out, meet people, pursue a hobby. These will also help fight depression.

    Good luck and stay strong.

    Thank you :) to be honest I feel already better (and not too much tempted of watching it again), and don't worry I alredy go out, meet people etc (I don't have a real hobby but some things that I'm interested in, and I follow those from time to time). I have never stop living to watch porn, I had only exaggerated with it and maturated that bad habit, in moments of solitude. By the way I will surely continue with the program until I will be totally sure that I have "recover" fully, thanks again for the support and opinion :)
