This is Day one for me, anyone wanna Join in with Me?

how old are you man

 

mm i see...i feel normal -_- yes just....normal

 

Update, urges hit like a wall this evening there was PMO. I'm encouraged that I've managed to get this far on my first streak. After years of compulsive behaviour this is the longest I've gone without orgasm in 17 years.

I'm starting again.

 

I just watched porn. It's a good feeling to watch and masturbate to it. I dont know if I can let this go "forever". I feel like I will be missing out on a lot if I do. We are trying to get rid of this feeling so we can have good feelings with real women, right? This is tough.

 

Im 32 now. been addicted for about the same time. I lost my job due to watching too much porn overnight on my shift. They found out much later I'm embarassed to say.

 

don't be ebarassed. you did what you felt like. i slept whit prostitures and i say it out. i'm not proud and only few people in my life know it but i don't deny it.

my day 9 is comming to an end. i don't feel any difference yet

 

thanks man. didn't know this was more common than i thought. congrats on day 9

getting an erection when watching porn is easy. but maybe the women i "chose" were not doing enough extreme activity to turn me on. i am not sure what my goal is. to be more confident around women. to get turned on and get an erection for the normal things in life than the porn that I am so used to watching.

 

when i watched porn i did not even get an erection anymore. it must have been really bizare scene because i saw everything porn could show. i watched porn since i got my first PC when i was abot 13 so 14 years ago. since then i watched porn almost everyday. i masturbated everytime i had a chance and i found it good since i was abot 10. i'm not confident talking to woman at all. if i can i try not to because i'm not an expert in doing it. now after 9 days i don't even think about having sex because i don't like it anymore. i find it disgusting. i wanted to watch porn 1h ago but i did not. i don't want to go back where i was 9 days ago. i don't even want to have sex anymore. i had it with prostitutes and now i'm done. i don't give my semen to anyone. it is mine and i do not find it hot anymore to stick a part of my body into someone elses body. disgusting shit. i can't even belive i watched porn and i liked some really hard hard bizare stuff when women really got destroyed. i find myself a bit mental[/QUOTE]

 

I'm in

 

Yea I'm keen! day 2 no P , day 54 no MO

 

I am with u i also start from today....... Why not for 90 day......

 

Hey Khudjo - you mention "no brain fog". Is that something that's bothered you for a long time?

I only ask, as I've battled with brain fog for a few years now, but I never thought to attribute it to the PMO (at turns, I've experimented with changing my diet, monitoring my stress levels, caffeine, alcohol etc.)

Hope it is ... this could be something of a breakthrough for me. I'll keep you posted.

 

I'll get real with you here - you'll get bored. BUT ... give it some time and you'll find new ways to fill the time. And even if you spend a couple of hours wasting that time, you won't feel the same guilt afterwards. In the last week I've taken to learning stuff (don't ask me why, but I've decided to learn about how the stock market works - oddly, the main learning websites offer me the same click-through on definitions of terms that P websites do - so I can still "waste time" going from one page to the next and back again - it's just that I'm reading/learning now, not fantasising.

But, yeah, I could feel the boredom a bit yesterday. And this morning - but I'm smart enough to know it's a side-effect (not EVERYONE on the planet is bored just because they don't have PMO in their lives). Think of yourself as retired ... like you don't have to go to work any more, and you're looking for new ways to fill your time.

 

Hi everyone! Today I celebrate 1 week! Of course I had temptations but I used my time doing other things: I started a garden at home, I did some home repairs and stuff like that! I discover I can use hands in other ways In day 4 I felt some headaches but people here said thats normal (something like a brain process to substitute the porn-efect...read the explanation here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/headache.78711/#post-621957 )

I use the PANIC ICON one or two times. It was helpful! And the major help was read your posts! Lets keep, together!

 

the thing is even if i stop, i'm not sure it will cure me. i want to get hard being with a naked girl (paid for or not). i realized i had a problem when i fail to get hard in the presence of a naked woman doing everything possible to get it up. i hate that feeling.

 

I did a test and imagined and can get hard. without porn. but in the presence of a woman that I paid for, I couldn't. What is the problem. Same with strip clubs. I wasn't turned on. Maybe I need a connection. I don't know.

 

Have you considered that the PIED you describe (when around women) could be anxiety related?

I've suffered PIED too, although maybe not to the same extent as you have. But what happens with me - the minute I start to worry I'll be affected, the worse it gets.

So, I blame it on the P, but I know it's my anxiety that's also fuelling it.

I think the important thing for you is to get through this 24 hours at a time. Have you made it through your first day yet?

Post back here in the morning. We'll help you as much as we can.

 

Sorry guys, back to square one.

Incredible how something will just creep up on you and take over. It was my own fault - for some reason I decided I'd have a quick look at P, and told myself it would not lead to M and O. How wrong I was. I'd had a stressful day. I fell back on old habits.

What a calamity. Only a few hours ago I thought I was in this one for the long run.

Still - almost a week. That's an achievement. An achievement, for sure. Let's look at this positively. If I can do a week, I can do 10 days, and if I can make it that far I can surely make two weeks.

So, counter back to zero and, fuck it, I'm going to fight this time!
