    I won't type for too long and I'm sure you know the effects of porn on your mind but not one talks about the body despite the two being one and the same in many ways.

    The physical effects of porn will destroy your life and I'll give you my example. I've been masturbaiting my whole life since age 6 and now I'm in my 30s, in the last 10 years or so I developed a habit of edging and having really long sessions hours each day. In this time I'd have so many tabs open/escort sites and I'd be in a hunched position and fully immersed holding my breath whilst I fapped for hours..

    Take note of that last part on holding breath, I'm literally unable to breathe deeply anymore my posture is a mess (search lower cross syndrome) I've given myself imbalances from the constant tension whilst masturbaiting as a session would be anywhere from 20-40min two or three times a day give or take.

    If you have any questions ask or I'll just keep going on, just stop doing it I wish I was told about this as a kid :(

    Porn will destroy you from your head to your toes. Honestly. Your mind, heart, genitals, strength ... Everything will eventually break down and make you a sad, weak, lonely, rotted son of a gun. Tell me I'm wrong. You can't. Porn is acceptable by the government here in the U.S. why? They want us sick!

    I completely agree with you about the break down of the body & mind. We really need to quit porn for good.

    I'm not from the US but I think it's just ignorance that the governments all over the world isn't banning porn. We are the first generation that has to deal with this real deep problem. It will take a while before the majority of the world agree that porn is really really bad for you.

    There are a whole load of threads on here about the harmful physical effects of porn - search for them, but prepare yourself for an uncomfortable ride.

    My advice:

    Do not look at any porn.
    Delete Instagram.
    Don’t edge.
    Don’t even touch your penis.

    Reclaim your inner peace and ditch the damaging distractions.
     
  13. If porn & pmo is part of your lifestyle, it will contribute to poor health - physical and mental. But contributing to it is not the same as causing it, so let's be clear about that.
    Let's not use scare tactics to get guys away from porn. Yup, my health is better since I stopped indulging. But my hair is not growing back. I had sleep apnea before porn. And my skin is not a speck different since I stopped using porn, although I did briefly imagine it was.
    Anyone who locks themselves in a room and huffs and puffs about images on a screen, whether it's gaming, horror movies, or anime, is going to find their health impacted.
    I am not trolling here - I agree - and I can attest - that a porn habit will contribute to poor health. Best advice is to give it up, absolutely. But a bit of realism is also important. Have a porn free day.

    You have to fucking stop!!!!
    Shorten the sessions start tapering!!


    I too am in the same situation!!
    I used to be a physical specimen
    I went from Hercules to golem from lord of the rings
    it’s day and night
    I’ve literally destroyed my body and mind in the span of 6 years My spirit is suffering. I don’t even recognize myself anymore for a moment my reality and social construct almost crumbled.

    I’ve noticed when I stop for a week at least that by the 5-7th day I can sense myself walking better breathing better but I let it get to my head & fall back down. But having that sense of how great I felt even for that one day makes the days I relapse that much less enjoyable. So I keep searching for that one day I felt better and work towards that one day then it’ll turn into two then three. But take it one day at a time. The battle won’t be easy Things will get dark your days will feel longer but you’ll begin to feel lighter and brighter Focus on those emotions that positivity that optimism.

    Do everything in your power, even if you have to find a personal friend or relative tell them your problem and let them help you.
    Go to meetings
    Make your home screen a video of NoFap and motivation discipline .
    Make your phone wallpaper
    Puts posters, signs up
    Of positive things, discipline, motivation, determination.
    Start planning outdoor activities, walk walk walk, take an audiobook and walk! Do 1 push-up a day. If you need to throw your Tv away. Get a flip phone. Download tons of software to block porn but let someone set it up for you, go to a computer store in a different state if you are that ashamed and let them do it. Just fight it. Think of what you did or how you were before the age of 6 dwell on those memories.

    take cold showers, meditate, therapy, journaling, prayers if you do that, tell yourself everyday you are willing to stop, everyday! Even if you pmo Tell yourself your strong you’re better than that. A lot a lot of positive self talk even if it sounds fake to yourself.

    Thanks gah! You saved my life yo... I'm on day 35 & I think I'll do the 90 day challenge this time. Life is getting better though still tough luck with getting chicks & all but I eat more green veggies & fruits in a day than the old me would eat in a week. I have a lot of problems from fapping especially vision related but I can't go back & change the future but I sure as hell can change present. I'll not lose this time

    I have the same issue. Like my lower abdomen/pelvic floor is chronically tight from having to contract during PMO.
    You managed to fix it at all?
