Gay men

Eh, I'm also gay and doing this though I'm in a relationship. I'm doing 'hard mode' despite the relationship because I feel like I really need to reboot my brain to get over my porn/ masturbation addiction. Look at NoFap as an opportunity to better yourself for when you eventually aren't single. Continuing with porn will just continue to screw up how your brain is wired.

 

Hi Sid

There are plenty of gay guys on here sharing this journey, but it's probably not any different for us than everyone else anyway. Addictions mess with our reasoning, and that's a part of the problem. I hope that one day I might be able to occasionally use porn or M if I wanted to, but right now they are habitual behaviours and addictions, and the addictions are controlling me not the other way around. And the same with online dating. I'm single too, and being in a small city where there isn't much of a gay 'scene', online seems to be the best way to meet men, so it certainly isn't all bad, but right now it is an addiction for me that has negative consequences and so I am going to try and stop using them. Maybe one day I will be able to return to it in a more modest way with a healthier outlook, or maybe when the time comes I'll find that it no longer interests me so much. Who knows, we have to live our journeys to find out.
