    Hello IGY from Spain!

    My name is Sergio, and I'm very pleased to meet you. Thanks for your toolbox, and it can be very useful. For me pornography addiction led to a suicide attempt while returning home after a regretted session. But well, that's what happens with pornography addiction that leads you to extreme situations like fetish.

    Well, I've been trying to fight this shit for a while. But I was doing challenges and challenges without realizing it, and in fact, I was masturbating from time to time within those challenges. That's not valid! So now with my 11 days, I'm doing well because I've eliminated all the mistakes that can lead to relapse. I always relapsed and masturbated every night in bed in front of a fucking smartphone. So now I've programmed the use so I can't use it at night using a hard to remember password. Also, now I only use the bed for sleeping. So I don't watch TV in my room, only on the couch and in the living room.

    Today I was alone in the morning at home and it was a bad day like rain and cold. But I woke up my conscience telling me to go out and if you stay home, you will relapse. I immediately changed and went out to the street. I had a coffee on a terrace while I was talking to my brother on my smartphone.

    It was good for me, and here I am again.

    Thank you Sergio. It is nice to meet you. I am glad the toolbox is useful to you. Treat it like a menu - so do not try all the items at once! Pick a few and gradually find what works best for you. I feel for you very much that your porn addiction led you to a suicide attempt. It sounds like you did your porn session away from home somewhere and the fetish made you feel dirty. Does the fetish still tempt you to masturbate or to see in porn sites?
    You have learnt something really valuable Sergio. Trying to reboot from your addiction is not possible if you are still getting instant sexual gratification from masturbating all the time. We have to change the way we think. We cannot think of men and women as sex objects for our selfish pleasure. Your new streak is valid - so, well done my friend. :)
    This is how to deal with urges when you are horny, or even bored or lonely. Use your phone in a productive way. It was raining and cold here as well. I hope you continue to do well and keep making good choices like today.

    Thank you for your response, as pornography addiction began with watching videos of women who later wanted to watch as they did men. From there, I got more excited and then with the "BDSM" fetish world. As it was not enough for me, five years ago I started with the remains of several men. I had become gay by illusion - optics. Because I don't really behave like a gay being, and I really go with women. At the moment in my whole life I haven't had sex yet, the most embarrassing thing is that in order to finish my virginity I have to do this shit with a "BDSM". Anyway, what a shit. Of course I'm tempted to do it again, but I want to forget about all this and start a new life. In fact, I was still in contact with a regular master. I explained my situation and my history of all this shit. He insisted on doing it to me, I told him not to insist any more and not to send me any more exquisite pictures. So from then on, I don't talk about pleasure and all this shit anymore. For me it was a release from this burden, this problem is not known to my family. Only some people like this forum, and in a NoFap en Español group that are 4 or 5 Spanish people that fight against this addiction. And the usual master knows it too. I think that in order to have a recovery, you have to touch base. If you haven't touched, there is no recovery. And my motto is this: "IF YOU WANT TO MOTIVATE OTHERS, BE THE EXAMPLE"

    There are many new strategies I can try to implement. And as you've said, there are some that don't work for some people. For instance, the porn blocker didn't really work for me. I always found a way to access that anyway.
    But many thanks for the other strategies! :)
