    What is PMO? And how does it work? How does it help? Is it short term or long term?

    Also once I’ve done the PMO can I still master bate? What’s the line between masterbation and porn usage. So I need to give them both up or just porn?

    This month makes it 10yrs on the dot I’ve struggled with porn. And I want to stop but I can’t seem to balance being a young adult and having a sex drive with my porn usage. I guess since I’ve used porn for so long I don’t know how to satisfy myself without it. Btw I am still a virgin, and I think I’ve used porn as a filler for lack of sexual activity. But my porn usage is causing depression and disturbing and intrusive thoughts. I guess my problem is not knowing how to balance my natural desires and over indulging in compulsive behavior. This is embarrassing and stressful and I’ve never talked about openly so I’d just like to know do I need to cut cold turkey or is there a balance on managing my hormones w/out porn? Thanks ❤️

    Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

    Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

    People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. We could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

    Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

    Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
