    Hi everyone, nice to meet you!
    I am a 26 year-old guy from Brazil. ( Sorry for my english, I need to practice :p)
    I´ve been a user of porn since around 13 and it became a part of my routine since. I can stay a couple days without using it but there are also periods when I constantly consume porn. A friend of mine showed me the comunity and I started reading a lot about it and decided to participate to see the benefits it can bring.

    I don´t think porn has a huge importance in my life to give me any prejudice in my sex life or routine, but I´m afraid it can in the future, that´s why I decided to join the community.
    I can stay a couple days with no problem, I have a boyfriend so I pretend to have sex normally but with no porn or masturbation. I am four days since I decided to stop and here to read and see the benefits it can bring to me

    Welcome to the community. You have taken the right step if you think your porn use is getting out of control. It may not be a problem now (or you may not think it is), but it probably will be later on. That's how I have come to be using porn for longer than you have been alive, my young friend. Thanks for visiting us here. If you want to use this board as a place to practice your English, that is perfectly fine. Your English is pretty good as far as I am concerned. Trust me. English is difficult for us native English speakers too! But there is always room for improvement so read more, write more. We welcome all you have to offer, just as much as you welcome what we offer to you.

    We have a forum in Spanish which is very active, if you find easier to write in this language. We welcome Brazilians :)
    https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/nofap-en-español.50547/page-596#post-2406473
    Unfortunately it is too common for gay and bisexual people to get addicted to PMO since we have been hooked up with this porn I fíes version of SSA since we were kids and did not have another way to experience our sexuality.
    There is a gay group but it is not too active.

    It is a big step if you can understand what is triggering your urges, because this will allow you to be awake and kill those urges as soon as they appear.

    I recommend you to create your own "Emergency Toolbox" with readings that can be handy to read when you start feeling urges to screw up.
    I can share this post with you with my own Emergency Toolbox, it helped me a lot during the first few months, i had them in my cell and read them every time I started falling down:

    I wrote some tips in this post that perhaps will help you too:

    You can watch some interesting videos which are also very helpful in this post:

    I also suggest you to read "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, it is a must-read if you are serious about getting rid of this addiction.
    To get more focus and feel happier with life I recommend you to start doing meditation.. I have been using an App called Headspace for the last two months which is great if you have never meditated before. The first 10 sessions are free if you want to give a try. I used to feel a bit depressed or feeling without energy to start new projects in my life, and meditation has helped me a lot with this.

    Last but not least, I would strongly recommend you to take new e-course that Mark Queppet launched in his new website, called: " REFORGED MAN: Quit porn and Master Yourself-Be a Man you Admire", it is the updated version of the e-course he used to have in NoFap Academy. It is not cheap ($200) but it is totally worth it because he gives great toold to fight PMO.You can find it here:
    https://courses.universalman.com/courses/reforged-man
    You can also join his website called Patreon, where he posts great stuff for free every week, and also you can join the pay area to be part of his weekly video calls where you can chat with them in real life, get coaching and listen to other guys's stories and problems too. You can find it here:
    https://www.patreon.com/home

    I hope that all this helps you to fight this shitty addiction.
    Let's keep on fighting

  9. Welcome Meka! I believe you will find many benefits here, some I have found include:

    It helps me remember what is important to me and what isn’t.
    It helps me put my problem with PMO into perspective.
    It helps me see that there are others worse off than me, or in way deeper than me.
    It helps me see that change is every bit possible.
    It helps connect me with others who know how real the struggle to overcome PMO is.
    It helps me find tips and strategies to overcome PMO.
    It helps divert and distract me away from using PMO websites.
    It helps me feel a part of a supportive community, so I’m not feeling alone or lonely.
    It helps me find links to great research and information about PMO that isn’t pornographic.
    That’s just a few for starters!
