    Hey there,

    New member here, who (as expected) is trying to stop the consumption of porn. The problem I have with masturbation/porn is like many others: I now lack arousal for real-life scenarios. When I'm with a girl, it's only a matter of minutes before I lose my erection and we have to stop.

    As you can obviously guess, this is extremely embarrassing, emasculating and anxiety-inducing. And the problem is that the more I think about it in the moment, the more anxiety I get, and the more anxiety I get, the more I lose libido, and thus it's a vicious spiral of doom...

    My goals are simply to refrain from the use of "more and more inflated" forms of arousal, as I'm sure everyone has had the problem of constantly wanting more and more in porn, when the vanilla isn't doing it for them anymore...

    Not only has my brain been wired in this way now, but I definitely feel a reduction in pleasure and feeling in my penis over the years. As I'm circumcised, the constant "rubbing" against the fabric of clothing I have on throughout my whole life has left me with less feeling in the area... not to mention having to dry fap when no lube is available... though embarrassing, I must admit also that I started exploring masturbation from a very, very young age. I remember being able to reach orgasm as young as six, or perhaps even younger...

    I haven't done any real prolonged length of NoFap, even though I've tried several times in the past, and I just hope that this time is different... My streak starts today, and I hope I can report back in the future with a post of success.

    Lastly, I would be grateful if anyone could point me to some newbie things I can read which can be helpful in limiting temptation, shutting off my brain if I do get tempted, and more importantly for me: to regain some of the feeling I've lost in my region, to years of bad habits...

    Thanks to everyone in advance.
     
  2. I’ve never had sex but I can not imagine taking off a girl’s clothes and about to have sex then not getting hard again. So I feel for you dude. At the very least you’re taking a step in the right direction by seeking knowledge about porn.



    This is a great video that you will see me constantly link to everyone, because it is the best video on porn addiction out there. It’s very scientific and very eye opening.

    If you would like any advice on how to stay away from porn and masturbation. I’m not the best source of help, but I don’t mind helping. And I know just even talking to someone can help and so I don’t mind listening to what you have to say.

    Welcome!

    I wish I would have come to the realization that P is bad for us when I was your age. I realized that PMO was a real problem for me/my relationship (and others) at 42yo, when my tool started to malfunction.....It took that for me to wake-up.
    I first joined in 2016 and a few days ago I came back, because after a big success in 2016, I somewhat slowly but surely fell down the rabbit hole of PMO.
    I really like to hear from the younger folks out here, as I'm glad that people like you found this forum and are coming to the realization that P watching/PMO/MO is actually causing real life issues on relationships, bodily functions, morale, etc...

    Keep your head high and click on the blue link in my signature if you want to have your own counter in your sig.

    My advice: Come to the forum EVERY DAY if you can, educate yourself by reading a lot on here, etc.
     
  5. I'm circumcised too. I wish I wasn't.

    Im circumsized and I'm 40+. Pardon my ignorance, but what is this thing about foreskin restoring? I don't necessarily complain about being circumsized, I don't get much drawbacks from it. What is bad about it for your folks? I can hardly imagine a way to add what has been removed....I'm curious.
     
  9. It just makes sex more pleasurable if you didn't remove the foreskin. The foreskin has over 20,000 nerve endings, just imagine the pain to the infant. The foreskin restoration doesn't bring back the nerve endings but it makes sex more pleasurable than it normally would.

  10. I'm not in a hurry to get foreskin restoration tho. That will take years.
     
  11. It's a shame people still think circumcision is normal. Only in America, haha.

  12. I know it's a shame. But I have learned to cope with it. There's a great line from the book Man's Search for Meaning. It says "You can't always control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you feel and do about what happens to you."
     
  13. At least you see the positive in it. I knew most people who got circumcised either didn't care, didn't realize or were just so mad they got depression. The future is bright for you. Stay positive and don't sweat it. Worse things could probably happen to you. My professor only had one leg his entire life because he got in a car accident when he was 5.
     
  14. I know. That's why I'm grateful for not having PIED. Thank you for your heartwarming response, IFartedWithMyChef. Haha, funny username.

    Dudeman430 hit it right on the nose. It is a process but I believe it to be worth the effort I am 41 and it is never too late to restore

    Interesting. My dad told me that when the question "to cut or not to cut" came up when I was born, its was just a matter of ....oh..I am, so well why not for my son! Nowadays, the hospitals don't perform that procedure unless its really needed for religion purposes. They are not too fond on a procedure that has no health benefits/implications....Not sure it I could have dealt with 20 000 more nerve endings over there, I seem to lose my "cool" pretty fast already...And it must cost a bit of money, like plastic surgery-type procedure? I'm 45 myself, not sure I want to go thru that.

    Regardless, thanks for educating me!

    Just a simple device, very easy to Google. Maybe a couple hundred dollars and a few years it's a personal choice

    you and the threat opener, are you too jews?

    and to the threat opener,
    I'm very happy you started your journey. STICK WITH IT !
    Do whatever it takes, so you can stick with it !
    It's gonna give you few advantages such as:
    1. you gonna see that you actually CAN set yourself a goal and reach it. and this thought gonna affect on any area on your life.
    2. you gonna have all the benefits nofap gives you, if this means Motivation, Happiness, more energy etc..
    3. YOU GONNA HAVE MORE SEX. because even if you don't know how to talk to girls or whatever (not saying you can't talk to girls)
    when you don't masturbate your brain reacts differently to situations with the other sex gender, you will actually find yourself opened up to a new world where you gonna be way more enthusiastic about life and you gonna have way more sex appel, which actually gonna makes you more attractive and more likely to have SEX.

    DON'T FORGET THIS.
    Whenever you feel down, and feel like you wanna QUIT. just remember what you felt like when you started - and on the same breath, remember what benefits NOFAP gives you.
    You gonna succeed !
    good luck and you can always message me if you want any further help :)
