    42 yo married guy who is thrilled to have stumbled on this forum last weekend.

    Some background...I have masturbated for as long as I can remember. I have memories from as early as 4-5 years old of having multiple O's while lying on my stomach watching cartoons. This pattern of several times a week has continued most of my life.

    There were issues of guilt associated with this having been raised Catholic and attending Catholic school. I tried quitting many times but without much success.

    In college I first began to use PMO. Internet was just becoming widespread. I would secretly look at pictures of nude men in computer lab.

    The masturbation has always been there but the PMO has just gotten more and more out of control the last 10 years. Needing to watch while I masturbate for example.

    Consuming spare time and energy. My marriage and finances have suffered not because I spent money on porn but because I spent time, focus, energy.

    I honestly don't know how I will feel going without it. I have never gone more than 7-10 days before. Might have been after my vasectomy because it was painful.

    Any suggestions for an accountability group?

    I am 5 days in right now and pushed through two tempting late nights.

    I have been impressed and encouraged by the support I have seen on here.

    Ryan
