Hello all, I'm a 19 year old male who has struggled with being addicted to porn since a VERY young age. Probably around 12-13 I've been consistent with it. I'm around 5'11 and weigh around 180 pounds. I'm also working on a diet to lose weight to build more confidence. I never noticed how much of my life it consumed.i have really low energy levels and am depressed and I never knew why but now I know why. im a virgin btw.I never used to be sexually active and I never knew why I never had the urge to do so. But now I know, because I jacked off too much. It does feel addiction at this point. It's gotten so bad that there are times when I can't get hard with my girlfriend and sometimes if I am hard, I tend to soften up a bit. Not sure if it's because she's the first real girl to see my dick and what not but yeah. Also what REALLY sucks is that I have no urge to do anything with her sexually and it really sucks cause I want to. From the young age I ventured into transgender and gay porn as well which sucks because I'm straight but i guess I got bored of regular porn. It's gotten so bad I spirled into a deep depression in question of if I was gay because I have little to no sexual interest in my girlfriend and at times fantasize of men having sex but I'm straight and I know because I'm not really attracted to men.Just the porn and I can never see myself with a man.another crazy thing is that I'm in love with my girlfriend and truly find her sexy but for some reason I don't wanna fuck her like I wouldn't mind it but I don't the desire to she has sucked my dick more than a few times and I've ate her out and fingered her. Btw, nothing wrong with being gay just not for me.which sucks cause I'm constantly like what the fuck is wrong with me? I wanna try not jerking off and see if I can get a grip on my life again. So that's my story and hello everyone! Please someone give me tips , I'm desperate for anything.
Hi @Arrohead I am new like you. But I would like to say I did pray to you with not only for your problem but with many good for you. I can say there is hope, and it will come for you ... soon .. very soon.
What you have described is pretty common, based on what I have read from the postings of others on here. Maybe start with a 90-day reboot and see how you feel from there...?
Right. No porn. No masturbation. And, really, no orgasm at all is best if you can avoid it during the reboot (tough to do if you are in a relationship currently)
The whole I'm straight so why do I keep going to gay porn thing is confusing for lots of us. For me it's no different than the chubby porn or the bondage porn or asian porn or lesbian porn my addiction has lead me to. It's the novelty that my brain craves. It's all part of the human experience. I wouldn't worry about it any more than you would other types of porn your brain leads you to. Welcome to Nofap. Good luck.
I agree with @Dsprt2stp ... @Arrohead ... We were all normal .. we need and must get us back to normal state as a human. We have in our blood some where a normal sexual act against women .. and this normal act should be protected from currption done by anything not just porn watch. From my religion, we were recommended by our prophet with many regarding sex .. ex: men have a nakedness and it should be covered even from men and also the same as women .. man should not, at this age, sleep with another man in the same bed even if they are close friends .. etc ... I mean by those recommendation, our normal behavior could be altered, just protect youself @Arrohead Believe that you have the normal behavior somewhere. Good luck, one day you and us here get us back the same as the successful ones here
