    Hi people,

    even though my problems might not be as big as some of the others, I recently had an event which really triggered something in me and want to start a rebooting process:

    I am 22 years old and i started watching porn when I was like 13 or so. My porn-consumption-rate got higher over time (ofc some ups and downs, but generally speaking I consumed more and more porn) and especially since I moved with my girlfriend in a new city I was alone pretty often which lead into me watching porn and jerking off alot (sometimes up to 3 or 4 times a day). I did not really have any side-effects (besides the addiction itself) until a few weeks.

    The last few times my girlfriend and I where having a sexy time I just could not get hard. Only after some "work" I was able to get an (not really hard, but acceptable) erection, but normally I can get hard in the second I see my girlfriend undressing.

    The first one or two times I thought it was just something that happens, but since it happened some more times now, I remembered a video from the healthy gamer I watched a while ago on YouTube with members of the NoFap-Community.

    Yeah, so here I am now, starting my rebooting, hoping to be able to get away from porn and masturbating. For my reboot I want to achieve the "gold-standard" 90 days and see where it goes from there. In that time I don't want to masturbate or watch any porn. I am not really sure about sexual interactions with my girlfriend (since I also feel bad for not being able to get hard at the moment), but since her sex drive is alot lower than mine I will think that there should be a good way to cope with this.

    So, I hope this post is a motivation for me to really keep doing it and resist the urge to go back to my old and bad habits. And like I said, I am new to this forum and the NoFap-Community itself, so if there are any pieces of information (I downloaded and read through the E-book and alot of the NoFap information pages) I am missing or need to know, hit me up :).

  3. Welcome man. I would recommend staying active in the NF community as it’s very difficult to walk this journey alone.
