    Hey guys, I'm on day 4 of this journey and I am already really confused.
    This is my story:
    I am 21
    I used porn to masturbate at least 3 to 4 times a day for at least 6 years. I am in an amazing relationship for 6 months but somehow I wouldn't get hard from a kiss or even making out, it always needed actions down there to get it up. So I struggled with getting hard but especially maintaining a hard on...
    I always thought it was simply how my dick is or works until just recently as I came across an article about NoFap and Porn Addiction. Getting more into the topic I could tick more and more boxes and was left with a weird feeling of "Fuck I think I actually do have a problem. A severe addiction even."
    So I decided to give it a try and completely cut out porn and masturbation. Now I have read a lot about PMO and also quitting orgasms for a while in addition. But somehow I couldn't find an answer to whether keep have sex with my partner or not. And also if I do have Sex, whether to O or not. I do have to add though that we see each other only on the weekend which means 5 days of strict PMO and the weekend only Os.

    As I mentioned before I am now on day 4 and really don't feel anything changing in a positive way. I expected to feel good about myself and energized. But in reality I feel bad. Like bad about myself, the way I look and I am kind of angry all the time and very easily irritated.
    Sometimes the urge to fap pops up but so far I am handling it quite well.
    What I'm not handling so well is all this confusion and the questions I have left regarding my relationship...
    Thank you guys, I appreciate all the help I can get! :)

    Is there in anyway you can avoid sexual intercourse with your girlfriend for a week end and see what happens?

    Firstly 4 days is nothing, it takes months to see real progress. Years of abuse isnt healed in weeks.

    Masterbating to porn causes the problems not having normal sex. Drop the porn and enjoy sex with your partner, but it depends if you believe the whole semen retention thing.

    I personally think its a load of rubbish, I dont see any reason why nature would attach any negative effects to the human reproduction system. It goes against evolution itself.

    Orgasms are a wonderful part of life. Enjoy them with a partner
