Hi everyone, I'm 25 years old , I have been addicted to porn and masturbation since 16 years of age it's been 9 years I don't feel anything excited or don't have any memories in life due to excess masturbation. After visiting nofap community from last year I tried but failed 6 times 1st time NoFap - failed after 100 days 2nd time - 17 days 3rd time - 109 days 4th time - 40 days 5th time - 11 days 6th time - 23 days and now 7th one is going on but I'm worried and getting suicide thoughts since this is not working and while masturbating in recent times I don't feel intense orgasm or iam not feeling that enjoyment that I used to get previously Kindly please please please help me.. If possible please provide some details so that I connect with you and speak about it ):
Bro, Having less pleasure while fapping or ejaculating is not a big problem but indeed a problem. Despite of this, having suicide thoughts is insane Just contact to any therapist or sexologist who can suggest you better than any expert available on this site
perfection is the enemy of progress, just hang in there. You look as streak and see your relapses, I look out your streaks and see days you chose to try to be better. Don't let mental illness ruin your game, I'm going through the same thing you are.
I discovered your reason for quitting needs to be something greater than yourself. For me my relationship with Jesus is greatly effected when living in sin and PMO, and from a personal perspective I want to be sexually functional so I may have kids and please my future wife.
Bro, it is good to see you starting to quit. You are very brave to step out of the matrix while many people still lives in their dreams. Rome is not build in one day so patience (not easy i know) is very much needed. If you dont mind, let me share some of my experience here: If you want help yourself, cutting off all means that could possibly trigger your urge to cool down your brain from desire. Instead of focusing much on women, you can start looking for something more worthy to do, and helping other people with Porn addiction in NoFap, it will remind yourself of the curse of porn, and certainly you live will be more meaningful and bright when you see others is saved by you. If the situation somehow gets severe (like feeling strong urge), religion might be a way out. With blessing, you are not alone. (I read buddhism, feeling much relieved after reading it.) Trust yourself. We are always too afraid of believing that there is a brilliant version of ourselves who are happy and confident. Porn addiction very much enslaved people by taking away their belief and faith, but we are here is reborn.
