    I've been trying to get rid of compulsive masturbation by myself for a while now but with no success. I am able to hold for 4-5 days and then end up fapping 4-6 times in the next two days. On the day I fap (or even 1 or 2 days after that), I do not feel like approaching any girl. I've always had social anxiety in general. I also feel that my erections have got softer (this is really getting me worried and is my main reason for taking this very seriously). I'm not in a relationship right now and that exacerbates the problem.

    This quarantine month has been especially bad. Not going to the gym combined with staying home watching videos is making me feel depressed. I've been able to stay off masturbation for the past 5 days until today I ended up doing it twice.
    I will begin again tomorrow. I hope posting progress on public forum might help me out.

    Hi there and welcome! I'm also quite new on this website, but find it quite helpful. It's not a magic pill, but at least you can meet some likeminded people, and share a few words.

    Welcome. It's okay to experience the things that you do - there is a lot of people going through the same thoughts on this site. I personally try to imagine the person that I will become if I just say "no" to this lust, what great changes and hapiness may come after all this struggle. Just remember that it's okay to fall back, don't be too hard on yourself, but every time you take a step back - take two steps forward. Good luck to you.

    Thanks!
    I've been struggling with these thoughts for a long time.
    So it felt great to get it all out. It's also nice to meet people with similar goals.
    Btw it's 2nd day of NoFap. Hoping to get to 30 as a start.

    Yeah people with these goals are rare. But I think we'll see more and more of us in the future, when the downsides of porn become more common knowledge. A bit like how it went with smoking, I think.
