Probably my 5th try.

Hello, my name is Andrew.
I've known about NoFap for a couple years now but, only just decided to join it today. I'm a gay man who has a porn addiction and quite possibly a sex addiction. I have attempted to quit porn a few times and always somehow fell back into it. There are so many triggers all around me, especially as a gay man. Every time I go out, or any conversation my friends have seems to push pornography and sexual content into my face.
The longest I've gone without porn was a month...but, the longest I've gone without Fapping is only 5 days. Right now I'm at a week of no Pornography...or at least no ejaculation from Pornography. But, I have been getting off with random sexual hookups.

My therapist never really gives me much advice as he's one of those "let's see how it goes and see what comes up". But, I'm not getting any real tips or techniques to abstain.
My current plan is to abstain from Pornography for a month and then try to stop having sex but, I'm actually quite scared of the idea. I can feel this apprehension deep inside me at the thought of quitting sex. I felt the same thing with quitting porn but, I was alleviated when I remembered that I could still have sex.
I'm single so, I don't have any regular outlet except with casual strangers. How do people cope with removing sex from their lives? Do you remove sex from your life?
My friends are supportive in that they will allow me to do this but, no one really gets it and I can tell that they don't necessarily agree with the idea. How do I find support?

Thanks for reading this,
Andrew

 

I have been quite sexual even from a young age playing doctor with my friends. To the point that I couldn't even tell you when I officially lost my virginity. I am having a hard time imagining my life without sex. I don't think I've ever gone more than a couple weeks without sex unless I was supplementing with pornography.
