    Hello everyone!

    I am from Romania and I am 18 yo. I have started masturbating when I was 5 yo, after finding a piece of newspaper with some escort advertisment. I have always masturbated prone, keeping my underwears on me. I have rarely masturbated the "usual" way. I think prone masturbation has affected my penis growth, too.
    When I was 9 to, I decided to look up some porn videos. After a few months, my mom discovered it and I stopped it till the 3rd or 4th grade( when puberty is around the corner ). When I was in the 6th grade( 12-13yo) my puberty hit me very bad ( a huge weight gain, moustache, I also became taller ).
    I need to mention that I had never decalotated my penis till 9th grade when a doctor told me to do that.
    I used to be good at NoFap till the pandemic came in. Last summer, I lost a lot of weight by fasting, but I still went pmo-ing because I needed something to relieve my hunger.
    I have never had a girlfriend and I do not have many friends. I am a lonely person, but I don't think this has something to do with pmo. I am very talkative and I get along with people easily.
    I wanted to start NoFap because it affects my spiritual life and also pmoing eats lots of my energy and time. But I don't feel strong enough for this. Whenever urges come, I can't concentrate and my body warms in a very strange way. I also have a quite busy and sometimes stressful life, having lots of exams, tests and objectives.
    So, what piece of advice do you have for me ?

    What do you normally do when urges come? I think its a good idea to have a plan on what to do when you inevitably get that really bad urge.

  3. It's gonna take work, prayer, and time. Finding ways of coping with that stress without using porn or masturbation will be very helpful. Only you can know for sure what those things will be. For some it's exercise, others it's meditation or prayer. Whatever it is, you need something to destress.

    Well firstly I think its important to not dwell on minor urges/thoughts and add fuel to the fire. If you do get a massive urge though, I find the best thing is brief and intense exercise. You can also try deep breathing, going on a mini walk without electronics, cold shower/cold water face wash, etc. Whatever works best for you.
