    It's become normal for me to PMO like 4-5 times a day. Sometimes I've PMOed like 30 times a day. I've stayed up >24 hours probably like 30 times. My fetishes are pretty uh-. . lets just say I get a bit of everything. I've become extremely masochistic (femdom fetish) and get off occasionally to hypno, relapse porn, etc. It used to be hypno like every day but at least I dialled that back cause it was started to legitimately terrify me. I get off on being weak, and I literally have a devil my head now. It's my anima - a female voice telling me to get off, talking down to me, telling me how good it'd feel, dirty talking me, etc.

    So. . That is where I am at. . I know this is a common question, but I am just asking, uh. . How will reboot go for me? With the rough reboot equation of 2months per year of porn that puts me ~2.5 years. Though I think it might be higher cause I feel like an extreme case. I feel very brain damaged. I struggle to complete any minute task, like- my will power ends at cooking dinner and showering (which I'm grateful is better than some. .) I've been unemployed the whole time and it's co-morbid with videogames, internet, etc. - and recently, food; Which was actually the final straw for me for some reason. Melting my brain into mush with computer is OK but not packing on the pounds apparently. . heh. . . . . .

    Oh and if people want to chime in on this detail as well; I ERP as a female herm on roleplay sites, and developed this sort of persona that's hard to let go. I feel miserable as a male and I think it's real dysphoria not just autogynephillia. I don't plan to transition as it would take $100k+ and of course I want to reboot to see if my mind changes.

    Hi. I'm very impressed by the text you wrote. Glad you decided to change the current situation.
    I have a suggestion for you but I don't know how much it is possible for you to implement it. Some problematic behaviors really need professional help. I'm quite sure that you can change the current situation and quit porn but about your fantasies, I think you seriously should talk someone who is professional in it. There might be lots of books which are super helpful. Have you tried anything like this?

    It's quite hard to find a professional on sexology - just not a common thing for people to go into I think. . I will look around for books. . I have talked to mental health people about it a few times before but they say similar stuff like "I am not qualified, talk to a professional, etc." Some will say talk to a MD and then the doctor says they are not qualified, etc. haha. . Either way it doesn't bother me too much as I am too poor to transition and it would require facial reconstruction because I have very masculine face, etc. .

    The porn is very strong. I've normalised to very hyper-stimuli. I literally went and PMOed right after posting this. .

    I have like 5 free days starting tomorrow which I will start my attempt. I've gone like ~2 weeks or 1 month and I get REALLY manic and irritable and. .

    Oh and recently I have started waking up in the middle of the night, usually after like 1 or 2 hours of sleep, getting the urge to PMO. It feels like the addict inside is literally waking me up to PMO. Also I have a habit of PMO right when I wake up. It's pretty bad. . Just like a drug addict in a lot of ways. But I haven't gotten to the point where I will have to sneak off to do it yet. Keeping occupied really helps. Like if I'm with people doing stuff all day I will forget about it. .

    No problem. Let's face it.
    The theory is so simple: You should stop watching Porn. But its being simple doesn't necessary means it's easy to perform. But, this is the point: Do you really wish to stop? Of so, we may help but if don't, nothing will change.

    Since it seems that your PMO addiction is quite strong, you should expect to experience some resistance upon attempting nofap. Also, it is most likely unreasonable to expect yourself to succeed in your nofap journey immediately. You may want to try taking baby steps, i.e. reducing your PMO frequency to once per day, then once per 2 days, and so on. That way, you'll have short milestones that are always just within your grasp.

    Remember, however, that nobody is a lost cause. No matter how long you've been addicted for, you can always recover; I've seen people in their 50s recover from multi-decade PMO addictions. Don't think for a second that you're beyond saving.

    Also just wanted to say that I really empathize with the kinds of porn you are watching as I have gone deep into that rabbit hole. y'Know- the hypno and femdom stuff.

    I also have spent many hours watching that stuff.... Like 14hour sessions sometimes.... So yeah it gets incredibly intense

    Back i agree with divine and rosamund, there are very good christian psychologists out there, one is called lighthouse, i know bc I have used them before and there could be one in your area. And yea it is very hard to stop anything cold turkey, but if you give yourself little goals they will transfer into larger goals overtime and make victory look that much more possible, You can do this, you just gotta decide how bad do you want it.
