    I've been looking at porn since I was 12 or 13. In the last few years, I have been looking at and collecting significantly more hardcore forms of pornography than I did in my early teenage years, and spending a greater amount of time doing so. I suspect that this is the result of social rejection and isolation, loneliness, and lack of intimacy, although I cannot be certain if my addiction to pornography is a cause, or simply an effect. Either way, I believe that I have an addiction that is affecting my life negatively, and I am therefore taking up a 1 month abstinence from porn and masturbation.

    @terrarum908 welcome to nofap. What you described about collecting more and more hardcore porn is called Coolidge effect. I encourage you to read "porn addiction basics" on the first page to learn more about this stuff.
    Porn is a vicious circle it simply isolates you more and more which results you seeking more and more porn because that will be the only source you can rely on to get pleasure with minimum effort so I want you to think about getting rid of porn from your life if you can.

    Here is a short video you may find useful. I wish you good luck.

    Thank you for showing me this video. I do believe that self improvement is the best way to combat feelings of loneliness and despair, and it helps to reinforce that point. I am hoping that once I have cleared my mind, I will be able to return to my music studies, and maybe learn a new language as well.
