My Journey

Discussion in 'New to NoFap' started by Deleted Account, Feb 25, 2017.

  1. Hello everyone.

    I am an self employed salesman and entrepreneur.

    I discovered porn when i was approximately 13 years old. I am 25.

    I regularly watched porn from age 14-20 regularly.

    I started to think porn might be an issue when I was 20 as I was still a virgin despite being somewhat good looking and having had interest from girls, I didn't have the confidence or indifference to get one into bed.

    I have actively given up porn approximately 3 times seriously, then I have had spells where I haven't watched as much.

    I have recently broken up with my LTG and have been sleeping with other women, with some I have had some erectile problems, usually the hotter the girl/less I know her.. the more difficult it's been.

    I didn't watch any porn between 1st Jan 17 and 14th Feb 17 (45 days.) 2nd relapse 22nd Feb which was more severe, 3rd relapse 24th/25th feb, more severe and now certainly 'active' again.

    I certainly noticed many differences during abstinence, I achieved goals of sleeping with women in the time where I didn't use porn. I was also calmer and most importantly more confident, feeling like I had an upper edge on my fellow men around of whom many must use porn. I also felt like I had more muscle mass, and was a more outspoken man, less fearful.

    Current goals are to take in information related to my own information, the pros and cons I will be having from using porn.

  3. Hi, thanks for your reply.

    My current strategies are to employ getting up at 5am (5am club)

    Improve my image and grooming
    Play soccer twice weekly and keep score of my goals/assists
    Pass my driving test

    I pmo binged yesterday, edged for hours and hours, rediscovering vast amounts of material that i used to watch. Once I took a dip I couldn't help but jump back in unfortunately, many guys seem to be able to watch one or two videos and finish quickly, for me I enjoy the pleasure of edging too much which is probably the dangerous part for my brain and health.

    You cannot compare yourself to anyone else. Deal with you alone. You say many guys can watch an hour or two of porn, are you sure or are you assuming or are you going by what you've been told?
