It is 6am and I can't sleep. I was just about to fall into my normal routine of masturbation to relax when I ran across an NYTimes articles about this site. Everything I read here about porn and masturbation, I've always believed to be true, but I didn't accept it because of all the doctors who disagree. I know that I have been desensitized by porn and I know that it has caused ED. I actually believe it also causes low testosterone. I am now 34 and have decided that I will try to start this journey today. The immediate goal is no porn for 90 days. The other goal is no masturbation for a week, although I don't believe I can make it that long. If I do masturbate, then I need to keep the thoughts cleaner and no use a death grip. Wish me luck!
Hey man, Good job on finding out this site. I do hope you stay here and resolve you problems with PMO. Stay strong and be vigilant my friend. We are with you all the way.
It's day 3. I am totally fine staying away from porn, but the urge to masturbate is tough. I'm rationalizing that as long as I stay away from porn it's ok. I guess I should research the forum more about the negative effects of masturbation. Or maybe I'm just giving into my addiction? Not sure.
