    Hello, fellow Fapstronauts. I'm 25 years old and have been masturbating every day for the past 4 years of my life.
    I stumbled across a ted talk which mentioned about this community, so that's how I'm here.
    My first encounter watching porn video was in 5th grade. I was very surprised and happy and started watching porn on an irregular basis i.e. once or twice a month. (In my mind I somehow knew that porn was bad, but since I liked it, I thought it was okay to watch once in a while.)
    My first masturbation experience happened on the day I turned 21. Yes, you read that right. I didn't masturbate till then because I thought that my hand may not be capable of replacing the pleasures that a vagina could give me. So I never even tried touching my penis in a sexual way (my friends would often discuss the satisfaction in masturbation, but I still didn't get it.) till I turned 21.
    On my 21st birthday, after having a couple of beers I was semi-drunk. A friend sitting beside me was talking about his intimate relationship with a girl and I just casually mentioned in my light-headed state, "Good for you, but I don't even masturbate.". That very moment, his alcohol level straightaway dropped down to zero. It was the most confusing yet curious look, that I got in my entire life.
    He somehow convinced me to try it for once. So, after a few hesitations and verbal masturbation tips, I decided to try it for my friend's mental satisfaction (In his mind, I was a criminal for never fapping in my life.). I went to the bar's washroom, loaded a porn video and masturbated for the first time ever. (Remember, I was a couple of beers down so alcohol might have played a fractional part in influencing my decision to masturbate.) The thing I experienced was the highest level of pleasure, that I missed throughout my entire teenage life. (As expected, my friend was eagerly waiting for my first masturbation experience review. Soon as I exited the washroom and walked towards our table, my friend could see the twinkle in my eyes from a distance and felt proud that he made my 21st birthday the most memorable one.)
    Since that day, I masturbated every day for the past 4 years. (Besides some medical emergency days.) I never seriously tried to quit. But, for the past year, it has been getting tiresome. Now I don't really enjoy masturbating but it has become kind of a routine (excluding the 5 to 10 seconds during ejaculation, they are fantastic as usual). It is now just a task in my daily life, that I need to get over with. Also, I started masturbating whenever I get stressed out or got stuck in work problems, for instant relief.
    I want to break this vicious cycle of masturbation, starting today.
    Hope, nofap community can help me achieve this feat.

  8. Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum,there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

    Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

    People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. We could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

    Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

    Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!

  10. So true on this...and the science of our bodies tells us why. Porn or no porn, we get a Dopamine rush. The deal is, for me, porn then becomes the necessary stimulant over time sucking the joy out of real life. I want my rushes from the real deal now with my spouse. I don't want to be a slave to porn/masturbation. Glad you are here and chasing healthy sexuality. Peace.
