Hello everybody. I decided to wait as much as possible to come here and talk to you about my experience, but definitely I've been watching your progresses for quite a while. I have been struggling related to porn for a long time, but I honestly realized what was the real problem with this forum. My main complication, not the only one but the fact that made me wanna quit even more, was erectile failure, something that was completely "killing" me and making me feel terrible everytime I tried a real life act. I will try not to talk too much about the symptoms, cause they are really similar to yours, and focus on what I've been doing to never watch it again. In my case, I was 100% sure that I needed to give it up forever, so I didn't give myself the possibility of coming back. I read some people saying that I should quit both porn and masturbation, so that was what I started doing. In my case, downloading apps that motivate me and count my progress helped a lot, because everyday I opened them and saw how strong I was becoming and how life was getting different for me. After about 60 days, I was much better and could have strong erections again. My girlfriend knew about everything and I always told her about my progress and hard moments, and she always gave me an amazing support. The thing is: I was having erectile power, but it was not enough for me because I was ejaculating REALLY fast. So I took a decision: I will never watch porn again, but since I'm not married now and I have just few opportunities to have sex, I must masturbate sometimes in order to regulate my ejaculations. It might sound a little bit weird for some of you, but it worked! I kept on having strong erections and I'm taking more time to ejaculate now. Of course, I'm not 100% recovered yet, I still ejaculate kinda fast but I'm way better than before. The thing is, masturbation became something natural in my life. I don't think about porn anymore while doing this, and now I focus on my girlfriend during the act. This is just my experience for you all. Again: I'm not 100% recovered, but I can say I'm a new man. It would be a pleasure to answer some questions if you have any. Peace for you all!
hahaha thanks a lot bro! I actually had no ideia things would get that better for me... We all must have faith and put some big effort on it!! Peace
Excuse me, may I ask in the initial 60 days, did u stay clean from both masturbation and porn? And my second question is, if you don't watch porn, how do u masturbate? It seems like to me that masturbation without porn is unrealistic because even when I wasn't watching porn on screen, I was in effect watching porn in my mind. I don't know how you do it. And my third question is, do you think masturbation itself is addictive and harmful? Thank you!
According to YBOP (100% paraphrasing) -> a "healthy young man" should naturally be able to masturbate, get an erection, and then ejaculate without any stimulant (such as porn, etc.) Unfortunately, I can't provide a source -- I forgot the YBOP article I read this on. But this tidbit makes sense to me.
Thank you! May I ask what do you masturbate with? Megazine? Porn videos? or do you fantasize a sexual partner in your imagination, which is the way I sometimes do when I do have porn?
Thats good but I'm thinking of quitting pmo forever just wet dreams are allowed. Because if I do MO only once I will go back to it because my mind will be messed up again
I've heard of people who quit porn and still masturbate. It definitely works some people. Thanks for sharing Stay clean. Best of luck
