I'm joining you all today because I believe masturbation is harmful. I don't want to fall into it again. I need all the support I can get from people around me to stay off of this for good. Last time I masturbated was on February 3rd this year. Almost 2 weeks.
Hey welcome to the forum. 2 weeks is really good and usually pretty difficult for people. I find that adding a counter to my signature has been a little helpful as well with this whole thing. Kind of keeps you in check. Just recommending it but of course you don't have to haha. Anyway, stay strong. You will be a better person without this trash. We all will be.
Thank you. To be completely honest, I just started masturbating to orgasm 3 years ago when I was 22 years old. I had previously masturbated as a teen but not to the point of orgasm, so I was able to control it better. But once I discovered orgasm I was literally doing it every single day, sometimes twice a day. I felt like it was distracting me a lot and it was affecting my mood as well. My previous record for going without it was 40 days and I gave in. After that I started doing it again like every 2 days. But somehow I really feel determined to not do it anymore. I didn't really liked watching porn, I used to look for softcore porn. The last time I did it I really said, that's it I'm not doing it anymore, I'm tired of this shit, I don't need this. Now it has been 12 days since I last did it, I haven't gone for that long in a while.
no edging as well for me. I'm also trying not to look at women with lust or look for pictures on the internet because one little spark can lite a fire.
I know exactly how you feel... But i think there is this site because its really hard.. if it was easy then we wouldn't need a support group.. YOu have to find some positive attitude somehow and believe that its possible.. well of course its possible because other guys on here have gone a long time.. I have not managed to go for more than two weeks for a long time.. I really want to get to a month.. i think it will get easier from there.. but i know its harder when you feel bad about yourself so try to focus more on being positive and that might help... good luck...lets keep updating how we are going.. that will help each other
Don't be hard on yourself, man. As Megatron said, it is a difficult fight, but it is a worthwhile one. Two weeks is really good so don't give up. I myself have been having difficulty lately going beyond a week. It is annoying as hell but this is a fight that everyone can win as long as we all keep trying.
Thank you. I went like 5 days again without doing it and I did it again today. I'll start over starting today
