Hey.

So my name's Jake, I'm 17 turning 18 in like 10 days, I've been watching porn since I was like 11 and fapping since 12. I guess the main impact porn has had on my life is my growing perverted perspective of people, for instance, a good mate of mine would be looking fine and in my mind I'd think 'I'd do her'. I've grown socially awkward, which is shit compared to how I used to be, and I've grown a fear for prejudice. My decision to quit derives from an accumulation of warnings from people that are close to me as well as articles and scientific research (ie, unhealthy amounts of endorphin release), so essentially, my choice is to heed the advice given to me. I've decided to stop porn, masturbation and orgasms. Basically, my plan to stop actually occurred to me when I was like 15, my peek intervals would be once every two months; I'm back down to once a week now though. My goal is to stop fapping all-together, let's see how that goes.

I'm relatively excited to join this community, some aspects of it kinda cringe me out, but I'm happy to fit in if it means I get to stop PMO.

PS - Happy to answer any questions.

- Jake

  • Keeping my door open at all times
  • writing in a journal, reading other journals
  • Wearing a rubber band that I would snap when having a urge or sexual thought
  • Cold showers
