    Ok attempt 2 at an introduction. I made one that was perhaps too graphic before reading anyone elses. But just being that honest in writing was maybe a good thing.

    I am 28 straight male. I have fapped to make myself feel good when down, apart from the times when just turned on. I get depressed and anxious reasonably often, im quite pessimistic lately.

    I'm pretty much wandering through life trying to find hapiness but right now I am so lonely. I want to find a girl that i can love but this issue is effecting that. The last few hook ups i had ended very quickly as after having sex around 5 times i found it very difficult to finish and have since then had, a few times, trouble maintaining an erection with a real girl. Edit: But i should point out absolutely no problem maintaining or finishing with porn.

    So at the moment i am avoiding sexual encounters and meeting girls in general to avoid the embarrassment i feel is inevitable. I have given up porn before when i had been on self improvement rampages, meditating, exercise and avoiding anything bad. It hasnt lasted but i felt much better at the time mentally.

    I have thought a whole lot about this and i know i need to stop but i am not always aware and rational.

    Glad to hear others thoughts on my situation and any advice that might be given.

    I agree, read everything. Especially about the science of addiction. It's very eye opening.

    Also, just keep fighting. Don't be too hard on yourself if you relapse. You'll notice after a week or two straight of no PMO, you'll be generally a happier person. That will make it easier to completely eliminate it going forward. This isn't an overnight process, so just don't give up on yourself and you can do it! We can all do this together!

    One tip with the real girls. Focus on her pleasure and you'll be rewarded in ways that you can never imagine. You have come to the right place to grow and beat this addiction. Build good habits one at a time and soon enough you'll be a person changed for the better.
