    hello all, I really hope that you all are doing great and fine, I am a 21 years old male who is struggling with porn since 13 years old age, yes, I do remember at first I had no idea what is this (porn), but it got my attention to watch it daily, I will be honest, I didn't feel like I am the happiest person watching porn, but as an immature, I had no idea why am doing this, I was masturbating up to 10 times (sadly) per day.

    At 13 years old all my thoughts were toward sex, all it matters is I just want to masturbate and look at girls, yet whenever I finish masturbating/watching porn, I really feel shit and uncomfortable.

    At that time I had none to tell me about porn/masturbating negative affects in my life, because firstly I was too shy telling anyone what I was doing, not even my school friends, I never ever tried to tell anyone that I am masturbating or watching porn, I was a shy person.

    After 2 years from an extreme masturbating and watching porn, I read on internet that porn/masturbating are bad, I also read according to my religion that porn is 100% forbidden same as masturbating, when I knew that, I was like that's why I always feel shit whenever I finish porn, then I started to think , oh shit, all those 2 years of watching porn where actually bad for me, I was the kind of person who don't want to make mistakes, especially doing things forbidden in my religion, so therefore I said, simply let's stop watching porn and continue our life...., I had no idea that I was addicted, it's not how I thought it was, first time I managed to hold my self for a week, then I watch porn, but this time is different, the problems started to begin here, at that time I was 15 years old, and trust me 1 week makes a difference, so when you are free of porn for a week and the moment you come back, you really hate it, you hate that you watching porn again, I keep on remembering the good moments I am having without porn, so why I watched porn!?

    15 years old shy boy, and still an immature, I didn't know how to deal with my situation, I had none to guide me, and it's like impossible to have one since I don't tell others about my issue with porn, as the time passes, I start to give up, which is a big mistake, instead of holding for a week, it started to decrease for 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, a day, I turned to an animal, yes a dirty animal who just watch woman as a piece of meet, not as a human that must be respected.

    In high school, the last year, now I am 17 years old, started to think more logically, started to become mature, I was like "how will my life be in the next 10 years? am I really happy doing this? what am I earning from doing this?", In that time I started to think when I always feel that I really wanna cry, I used to stay for long time in bathroom crying, I was mostly not in mood, angry, therefore I decided to become really serious about porn issue, and I really wanted to not watch porn so badly, I had like a power inside me to stop this porn issue, and guess what? I actually did a 3 months streak no porn or masturbation, but sadly I came back to porn....

    I came back to porn and I feel more shit than ever, it hurts me when I compare those 3 unforgotten months, those were my first 3 months without any sexual contents, I was more creative, more happy, getting more to social life..., but all these are gone when I came back to porn, this time I came back watching porn on average from a week to 5 days.

    at age 18 years old, I am in university, and porn issue still on me, on my last year of university, I managed to hold my self for 4 months, then I watched porn, then an other month and a half, and then again back to porn till now...

    But I just want to stop this, I just need more faith that I can, we all can, I want a strong faith that I can stop this addiction, please help me guys, I would love if there is
    accountability partner available forme, have a nice day all.

    Hello jackhroub,

    I am not religious but I can relate to a lot of what you're saying.

    Don't beat yourself up too much. It is okay to feel bad, but at the end of the day you have done something amazing before by making it to 3 months, and you can do it again!

    Good luck to you and I'll see you around on the forum :)
