My name is Fernando. I just started using NoFap and from what I can see it has a awesome community. I will just stat by telling a little bit about myself. I´m 17 years old,( i am a virgin and never had a girlfriend) started to watch porn when i was like 10 or 11 yrs old and haven´t stopped since. For 6 years i watched porn and masturbated almost every single day. Last year, in July, I started to feel guitly and ashamed right after ejaculation, so i decided to try to stop masturbating and watching porn and it was something a lot harder than I expected. In November, after a lot of falied tries, i managed to get to one week without PMO, which was a huge victory for me, but i couldn´t get pass 7 and 8 days for almost two months and, not knowing how, i went 27 days and then relapsed in the end of Jannuary. Now, almost 4 months have passed and I haven´t been able to get to one week. Always get to 3 or 4 days and than I relapse (which makes me feel like shit). So here i am, writing this, hoping that NoFap helps me stop this addiction
Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
Honestly, I really don´t have any strategies for combating PMO. I work out regurlay, sometimes I read, eat healthy. If you have some tips I would really appreciated.
Francis of Assissi, Yes, i have thought about it and i know that it could help but for now, since i just joined NoFap, i´m going to see if i can make it witout an accountabilty partner. If i relapse once, I´ll immediately look for one. But, nevertheless, I appreciate the advice. Unless, you are offering your help as an accountability partner, I will gladly take it.
Well, I won't say no, but I am 54 years old. So, I wonder how suitable I would be, whether I would be able to relate to you and your experience. However, I have been where you are now, so there is that. So, if you need any advice from the perspective of an older man, or find you need help you're always welcome to contact me.
