Hey guys, what is your motivation?

Hi Naikolai,

Let's see

1) Severe Porn Induced ED

2) Social Anxiety

3) Lethargic/laziness

4) Lack of sense of purpose in life

 

my motivation is mainly this:

IM SICK AND TIRED of this shit- im sick of looking back into the mirror of my life for yet ANOTHER year- only to see the version of me that I COULD have been if only I tried a little harder, organised myself a little better and been a little more patient. THAT version of me is never coming back now!

 

I need to keep progressing for my sake, and to help out my parents, even society really. I will not be able to do it if I go in escaping to porn again.

 

Become a better husband, a better father, a better employee, a better son, a better lover, and to grow as a human being.

 

To become a better lover, to be able to focus more with my work, and be a better person.

 

My motivation is to become a better lover, a more attentive husband and a cleaner soul.

 

1.To O with my partner
2.To get a job
3.To find a legitimate passion for myself- I spend my entire days watching P, rather than actually living life!
4.Start and develop a career and life.
5. Handle the emotions i suppress while watching P.

 

A lot of reasons. To not waste time when i could be doing things that are way more fulfilling. To be able to relate to all women at a pure level and not have my mind ruin everything. But the biggest reason is that eventually, I want to vow myself to life chastity and live a life devoted to service and contemplation. I'm not kidding here either. It's a really noble and high ideal for me to grow in true love, or charity (if you want a word less cheesy sounding), especially directed towards people who are largely found unattractive by society.

 

My main motivation was to stop wasting time with such a destructive habit:
- I used to watch P when I should have been working. That has caused me to be let go from a few jobs. I can't be productive at work when at least an hour per day is spent watching P.
- I noticed that PMO was becoming more frequent and there were sometimes where I absolutely could not walk away from it.
- Sex with my wife was dulled, it was almost becoming an effort instead of pleasure, and the physical sensation was dulled from my constant fapping. I want to make sure that I wouldn't replace my sex life with PMO.
- I want to be a better person, a person who accomplishes great things in life. The man I was becoming was a pathetic guy who spent most of his time by himself with his PC looking at P. If I could have stepped outside myself and viewed me watching P while edging I'm sure I would have cried.

This list could go on, but those reasons alone are enough to keep me from looking at P, edging, or MO for today. I can only battle this addiction today, one-day-at-a-time.

Sorry to say, but the motivation you seek needs to come from you and be your reasons. Without a strong conviction to stop this for your own personal reasons, it will be impossible to stop. Now that I said that, let me say that you can do this! I'm cheering for you to succeed.

Good luck, be strong.

 

I broke up with my girlfriend because I lost interest, became distant with my family, lost contact with friends, became less task orientated, lost interest in things I used to enjoy all because of my addiction. It motivates me knowing that at a time I wasn't this PMO obsessed guy there was a better me so I strive to be that better me, and I refuse to go back I just can't go back.

 

I'm doing it for Lent but hope to continue it beyond. I also got really lazy on my relationships and responsibilities as well as starting to do poorly in school because of lack of motivation.

 

To get my self-worth and self-control back and hopefully have that spill over to other facets of my life. So I can feel motivation; not be so lazy all the time; feel happier and less depressed; to help reduce my anxiety and to have this brutally foggy brain of mine cleared out of all its cob-webs. To do something other than look endlessly at P and be in the driver seat in my life for once, instead of having that the other way around..

 

You and I have so much in common, bro.

 

to be "normal" again. an ordinary guy with ordinary feelings.

i dont want to be a pervert any more.

to become a healthy relationship towards women - start to respect them.

everything in my life was concerning sex and porn - there is more what life offers.

 

My motivation is to prove to myself I have control of my desires, yet I disproved myself 5 mins ago...

 

doing it to feed my spirit

 

I definitely agree with a lot of the reasons given by the other Faptronauts I wanted to become a better person and not have this massive mill stone round my neck, become a better lover and have better sex with my wife and feel that I no longer have anything to hide anything from her.

 

freedom of mind,confidence rises,social skills go high,loving yourself,being responsible to urself,family and other people,spiritual satisfaction.

 

I want to move on to the real thing and beat social anxiety.
