    Reposted from Loneliness, didnt realize this was here

    A bit about myself: I'm gay and have a porn addiction. My problem was that I kept going back to PMO and it mostly ruins how I interact with people, wastes a good portion of the day due to being too tired afterwards etc. I hBecause of this, I developed a curiosity for something more exciting like sexts on snapchat. I found a certain subreddit that does this and so many people are willing to take a nude pic of their body and private parts and send it amongst themselves on the sub. I got hooked a few times trading nude pictures but now I just feel ashamed and even more alone. It's even gotten to the point where I would prefer live video over snaps.

    I don't have anyone in real life who I could trust with my sexuality and my ever increasing risky habits without the prejudice and discrimination.The best outlet I have is an accountability partner and online forums. I cant even tell this to my accountability partner due to the shame

    What's there to be ashamed about? Your habit is no worse than anyone else's.
     
  3. Nothing to be ashamed about, have a look at the other posts and you will see that you are not alone. Get a life, you should privilege true real life relationships, have friends and a real relationship. Snapchat, pornsites, this is all virtual. Why using some forum to get in touch with someone that is far away when there are good people just around the corner?

    I am quite introvert in real life so I have a hard time making friends, and I don't trust the ones I know with my secrets cause of how homophobic the culture is around here so I had a hard time venting all this out. But yeah, I'm aware that all of porn/snapchat sexts are just virtual, it doesnt help with that feeling of lacking the actual sex but I'm still addicted to it due to its ease of use.

    I also did some gay dating apps for hookups but that was my lowest tbh.
     
  5. I understand, I understand that it is not easy for you to go out and meet people. But eventually, you will have to or your life will be miserable. It is not only about a relationship, you will need this to make professional contacts, meet new people when you move. You can do it in little steps that are just big enough so you make progress towards the goal.
    Have a look at Jordan Petersons videos on youtube. He is great and explains the whole process.

    I looked it up and it's mostly motivational videos? I'll save it to my playlist.
     
  7. No, people make motivational videos out of his discussions, but it's not that.
    Check out this one:


    He has his own channel as well. Very good are the discussions with Joe Rogan also.
     
  8. Many people on the forums have mentioned that abstaining from PMO has greatly reduced their social anxiety to the point they can go out and meet people.

    I want this, too. So continue on this journey. There’s hope and it will get better.
