Hello from a gay guy who has the same struggles like you

Hey Luka!
Glad you shared your story. I really feel you man, because of PMO I was also bullied in school and literally depleted of any positive energy. The good news is that you can actually rebuild yourself from that state.

About your questions:

Does no fapping have any negative consequences on reproductive health?
I'm not an expert, but I might tell you that by doing NoFap you don't affect your reproductive health in a bad way. You literally improve it! You can read all that bullshit stuff about prostate cancer and so on... It's mostly ridiculous myths.

Masturbation without porn - does it cause the same problems as the one with porn?
In most cases porn is the problem itself. It have major impact on your dopamine levels in brain. Masturbation is bad, but no as bad as doing it with porn. It releases tension and so on. Of course I'm not talking about compulsive using of it.

Erectile dysfunction caused by porn - is it reversible?
Yes, it is! If you will have enough will power to get that shit out of your life your brain will start to rebooting itself from all damage you have done by jerking off to porn. You will start feeling actual arousal to real people, not that on screen and dysfuncion will pass, you just need to be patient.

Wish you best of luck in your journey!

 

I don't think you should feel bad about your failure to get an erection. The human mind is a complex thing and it is known to play tricks on people. I'm a bisexual and the thought of having sex with a man doesn't arouse me. I guess I'm just interested in a relationship with a guy, but not so much sex. I'm not aware of masturbation leading to reproductive problems, but it can lead to what's known as PIED (pornography induced erectile dysfunction).

The good news is that PIED is treatable; lots of people here suffer from it and some have had victory over it. You have to be committed to stopping pornography, though. It's not enough to do it less -- you have to cut it out of your life.

 

No it isn't and I think there should actually be a health statement on this forum considering going such long periods without masturbating is something a doctor would never suggest you try.

 

@fedmom C'mon man, organism will take charge when the time will be right and cause a wet dream... That's a normal and biological thing. And again, that's just a stupid myth. Our ancestors lived so many years without any issues because of lack of sexual activity and I believe they health was actually way more improved. Prostate cancer can be caused by many things. Other lifestyle factors affect it way more especially if you eat a lot of red meats, smoke and you're overweight. There is no relevance of masturbating to prevent prostate cancer for example.

 

No, lack of release does increase the chance of getting prostate cancer. I'm sure there are health benefits of not masturbating too frequently however.

 

Hello Luka.

1- Ur social failure at school wasnt because of u being a failure, but bc u were punishing urself for things u didnt have control of.

2- Of course u wont have erections with other men if ur blood pressure is filling ur neurons instead of ur dick. For a correct sexual experience u must be relaxed

3- ED by porn? completely reversible.

Do 90 days of NoFap and u will improve greatly in all the aspects u have issues with.

PS: U dont have to be a super masculine macho man in sex, remember that porn is a fantasy... Gay too here and i can relate to a lot of things ur telling us

Hi, welcome to the community

I would recommend you to stay in touch with members and read their success stories. You may also learn tricks to avoid the short-term pleasure and to face the temptations.

Be AWARE of your habits and control what you see and what/who you spend your time with.

It's also important to limit the usage of social media. In addition, never be free! Use your free time as much as possible and do sports, exercise, attend classes, etc.

This video contains everything that you need to know about porn addiction. Lastly, here is a collection of ways to deal with the urges which worked great for me.
