    Hello,

    I just found this forum was reading around. But was not sure and afraid to share my story but here goes.

    I started watching porn around 14, on daily basis. Um until around 19. When I moved out of my parents house tona dorm. Then later with my girlfriend. I'm 23 now.

    I always had the urge to go as quickly as possible. So lets say that sex is short and not satisfying... i do no get satisfied from sex. I actually enjoy masturbating more... the PE is killing me. And from time to time I stop. For a few weeks and things get better. So P is causing ED and PE in my case... but i cant stop for a longer period than 2 weeks... and then the story starts all over again. and after few months when I start seeing my gf unhappy i stop again for around 2 weeks. But then i relapse again and again and again. This time its the same. But I want to stop forever... i watched some crazy stuff. Masturbated in toilets at work etc... and that is not good... I cant get aroused easily by a real life person because of the fantasies that I have in mind from P... so i go limb quick when real life experience does not meet my expectations...

    So I think I need a reboot or help... can some one guide and help me through it how do I get my life back to normal? Because P is destroying my life and making me feel insecure.

    So no insights?...
     
  3. You can do this. You are young. Don't make the mistakes many of us who are older have done. I have struggled with PE for years and was a chronic masturbator. After 91 days I can last much longer. It's not an easy journey for sure. But it is worth it. We are all here to be your cheerleaders. Feel free to pm with any questions.

    Hey thanks for the reply. Not getting a reply made me think that im some kind of a weirdo :D downloaded an app to track the days. This is my second day today.

    But I do have a few questions.

    Does having sex with a real person (my girlfriend) counts as cheating?
    I mean the issue and the whole point is whitholding from P and making real things real again and building back the intimacy with your real life partner and do not resolve about un real fantasies?
     
  5. Sex with your gf is not wrong. But the while purpose of this is to stop watching porn and quit masturbating. Keep talking and asking questions. That's good. We all need each other.

    Any tips to succeed on my journey?;D what you do to lower the need.

    I went through some changes in life like quit smoking and started going to gym. So 2018 was a time of change. So Lets try destroying this ugly habbit as well! It might be harder than quitting smoking in my opinion xD
     
  7. It is one of the hardest addictions to break, my friend. I download Covenant Eyes on my devices. A report goes weekly to my accountability partner. That helps because he is my Pastor. Covenant had a 40 day PMO you can download which had you journal every day. I can't revprecom that enough. It's free. The big thing is to keep yourself accountable and hands free.
     
  8. You will experience lots of weird withdrawal symptoms but if you persistent it pays off. Seriously reach out as often as you want and pm me as well. Best wishes.

    So just to get this straight. the whole point is to quit watchin P. Or quit watchin and quit masturbating or masturbating withouy P once in a while is a good thing? I'm not really sure. But quit beating the meat might benefit as well. since i do have a habit of doing it as fast as possible that might be the issue of PE.
     
  10. They are tied together. One feeds on the other. Most guys on here would not condone any M and I believe that is called the monk mode. Others can weigh in. I am in the mode that the only sex I can have is with my wife. I do get a massage occasionally from a friend and he will give a hand job. Again most guys on here would probably say no to that as well and I would not argue that they are wrong.

    Bro u should read this:https://gettingstronger.org/2010/10/change-your-setpoint/
    Best thing I ever read in regards to my addictions and he has other similar posts.
     
  12. Admitting and realizing the extent of the problem, and realizing that avoiding PMO helps is a major step in the right direction.

    My problems are quite similar. It is encouraging to me to hear that stopping for 2 weeks helps with both ED and PE. I have not succeeded in doing 2 weeks, but I really know that I need to. But I'm on my longest streak ever and hope to get there.

    Sounds like you need to decide that this is a major priority, and if you can do that, I believe you can succeed

    Hi there, great job on reaching out for help! This is indeed an addiction that can destroy your life. You are very young and it is going to be important that you deal with this now, before you get married, kids, etc. I feel your pain and I went through very similar problems. I would recommend you start by reading the book "Out of the shadows". Great book that describes this addiction, its roots and ways to deal with it. Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out for help anytime.

    So I relapsed. After 4 days :D and so im starting over again from today.
    Need to be stronger...
    The main thing is that I have no problem keeping it hard the issue is that it gets soft during the real thing because i lose interst fast...

    The issue that I relapsed was starting to get horny during work when my thingie brushed against my tight.... so i lose it when i got home...

    I have a way to much imagination...
