Hi, I'm new here. Here's my story...

Hi, everyone. I'm new to NoFap, although I've attempted porn and masturbation abstinence several times. I started watching porn and masturbating when I was 12. Now 22, it's been nearly 10 years since I got addicted to PMO.

Watching and masturbating to porn and other sexually arousing content didn't seem wrong to me all these years. Due to societal programming, I felt it was a regular and safe habit for humans, adults to be precise. It was not until I lost my virginity in 2021 that I realized a change had to occur. That was when I first experienced PIED, from my first sexual experience which happens to be my second worst sexual experience to date, the first being my second sexual encounter. After my second sexual encounter, I made up my mind not to indulge in any real-life sexual intercourse again until I fix my sexual health.

It has been a really tough challenge since then as I wasn't aware quitting porn could be difficult especially when you don't know what's happening inside you biologically. The more I tried, the more I learnt, and I'm happy to say that I'm more knowledgeable about the issue than I was two years ago.

When it comes to battling PMO, knowledge is power. Knowledge is your strength. The more you know about the problem and the science behind it, the better tactics you can utilize in solving it. Thanks to NoFap, I've learnt a lot of new things, and I'm thrilled to be part of a community of people seeking to drastically improve their lives.
