    Hi, a little nervous doing this. Always have kept things to myself. But..I need encouragement and am committed to eliminating porn and masturbating from my life for good.
    I'm 48, and have been M since 12 or so. It used to always be I'm horny so let's get some relief. I'm married and have been for a long time.
    About 3 yrs ago. My wife went through the change. Ugh. It made sex uncomfortable for her until she just lost all interest. We hadn't had sex for a little over 2 yrs. so I turned to what I know. Taking care of business myself.
    Fantasy used to be good enough, but then I discovered foot fetish websites and found a stimulation like I haven't experienced before. I would PMO sometimes 3-4 times a day. Even at work. Death grip. Yeah you betcha. I've PMO'd so much before I've split the skin and was bleeding. But that still didn't stop me. Discovered tumblr after I got an IPhone and foot fetish turned to lesbian which turned to hand jobs then watching other guys MO videos. Never felt gay, but always felt like total shit about myself. Recently the search turned to daddy dom sites!! What?! I couldn't believe what I'm watching and that it was turning me on. What kind of sex crazed monster had I became.
    Last week I PMO'd to the equivalent of an incest rape scene and cried afterwards. I typed in how do I quit masturbating and it took me to yourbrainonporn.
    Wow!! Did not know so many others suffered from this. I clearly have PIED and DE. Taking meds and T all to help.
    But last Thursday I had enough. It's been 7 rough! days. I think I'm starting a flatline because there is nothing going on down there since no porn.
    I don't know if anyone will comment. I don't care. This is my written and public commitment to just fucking stop. I hate what I've become and am going to be realistic about my goals. Every day is just day 1.
    Anyway. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
     
  2. Hello and welcome to the forum!

    Here you find lots of information about negative effects of excessive porn use and tips how to abstain from masturbation and watching porn. If something bothers your mind, feel free to ask an advice or tips. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. We're all here to recover from same addiction and we're all here to help each other.

    I (and many others) can relate your story, as it's also my (and many others) story. Flatline can be your friend, but also your worst enemy. After couple of weeks of flatline it might get tempting to "test" whether you still can have an erection or not, which can very easily lead to relapse. Trust me, I know this from experience ;)
    Don't panic and give your body time to heal itself, and trust that eventually it will heal.

    Stay strong and away from porn!


    -Mike

    Thanks Mike. I know it's going to be a struggle but I think I'm down for it.

    Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you.

    The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    Strategy? I don't know. Just not doing it. Approaching each day as day one. I've read the lists. I've seen all the do this and do that help pages.
    Seriously?! Do squats. Lmao. Nope. It boils down to I just don't want to be that person alone in the shadows in the bathroom yanking on my dick as hard as I can to a picture or video of a young girl being victimized until I tear the skin and bleed all over my hand and wadded up tissue anymore.
    I dot feel any long lasting satisfaction from it. I'm on day 9 and I'm in a flatline which is a blessing. There is absolutely no activity downstairs. Lol.

    Not as old as you, but I have similar compulsions. Part of why I'm doing this is because I don't want to turn 48 and look back on a life full of this torture (not a slight against you, I promise!), this mental slavery to a weird, dirty and artificial realm. Yeah, man, I agree - porn/masturbation taken to its extreme affects you, and in turn, the people around you. I learned that the hard way by screwing up immensely so many times. I'm with you and wish you all the best. You can do it.

    Remember to walk before you run. Sure, make a long term goal, but I find it easier to take it day by day instead of month by month.Good luck to you

    No slight taken. Lol. I wish there was stuff like this around when I was younger. But honestly, when I was in my 20's PMO was more of a sport for me. No high speed internet. But still plenty to see. I just didn't see where it was taking me.
    Thank you for your support

    Totally agree. Every day is "ok, I'm not doing this today!" I'm only counting until I don't need to count days anymore. Just try to find the heart of this life and get my mojo back.
