Hi everyone, nice to meet you all! I am super happy about meeting you all and I really hope to get rid of my porn habit. I’m a 27 years old male from germany, currently studying medicine. I have been using porn since I was about 20 years old and it really fucked up my life with it. Impacts on my life: I do not really suffer from PIED, but I have similar problems. I lose erection during intercourse, I cannot really enjoy sex like in the past and I do not feel satisfaction after an orgasm. These problems only occured after I started watching porn. What I additionally suffer from is bad discipline, motivation and concentration. I presumably also suffer from an attention deficit disorder (ADD, similar to ADHD but not the same thing), I only had the symptoms after I started watching porn had compulsive and excessive use of the internet. I also have a problem with internet in general. I guess that there is also an effect on my dopamin reward system, because my brain is very vulnerable Why I want to stop watching porn: Watching porn really fucked up my life throughout the last years. I had a lot of chances to live the life of my dreams, but I was not able to use them out of idleness. For example I had a girlfriend, I considered her to be the love of my life. We had to fight some problems and I was ought to manage a lot of complicated things with her, but instead of tackling it I have fallen even more into watching porn. I just destroyed a lot of beautiful things in my life it out of weakness and idleness. So now I decided to do everything I can to fight my porn habit and gain back control over my life. I started it in january 2018 and was able to recover a lot. I did Nofap together with some friends, but they decided to stay with porn unfortunately. So I am now here to find new people to keep my recovery. Experiences with noPMO: I already stayed away from PMO, my longest streak was 26 days. I did sports, yoga, autogenic training and I developed routines to stay active throughout the day instead of idly hanging around. I already got great improvements of Nofap and felt the superpowers, but regularly I fell back into my old habits. If I do not have direct pressure like accomplishing my study I get weak. I hope the NoFap Forum will help me to keep up motivation especially in this important moments. Methods I want to use: For me ist is more important to stay away from porn, it is better to masturbate instead of relapsing completely. But I now want to beat at least the 90 days now. Making a daily post about my progress would help a lot I recently found out. Therefore I want to make a journal and update it daily. My plan is not just to stop PMO but also to fill my day with other things. This will help me to resist from relapsing. I plan to daily post a list of my goals for the next day and an assessment at the next evening. Every sunday I want to make a weekly calendar to plan sport yoga and other things that I might not forget. Social pressure works very good for me, so I would be deeply grateful if you want to comment or just watch my daily posts. I am really ready to give this support to others as well. Joining an AP group would also be really nice. To keep things safe I don’t want to do video calls immediately. I would prefer using this forum or telegram, there we can add each other without sharing mobile phone numbers. Thank you very much, if you read until here. So if you are interested please comment or pm me.
