I masturbated 5 times today and decided that it was it, it's time to end and I'm really done with how tiring and time consuming this can be. I hope I can find a great community to support me here. I'm tired of craving sicker things on the web that I would never imagine I would be looking at a few years ago. I have a partner and I also think masturbating is killing our sex life. So good luck to me guys, this is day one and I'm aiming for 30 days initially.
Just to get this, I'm 23 yo, male, gay, watching porn consistently since I was 15, pornography has a big impact in my produtivity so I decided to stop.
Right on, man. Congratulations for taking this first step! You can! I'd encourage you to find an accountability partner - maybe a same stage of life guy who gets where you are with your orientation and age. . . Really, really proud of you for stepping into this!
Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
Thanks for reaching out D.J.! The main weapon of my warfare is building a little bit of community here, joining arms with like-minded men. Today was a hard day. The temptation was very physical. My body ached to be pleased. (My wife just snuggled moments ago and I'm now really tempted again.) But having a place to come and share my struggle at every moment is immensely helpful. Thank you for all you do to help others in the fight for their lives.
Pornography is modern invention. What about those people of ancient time. In 16th century, in 15, in 18th and before computers in 20th century. How people used to live on. Communication is important and being social is also important. But living in imaginary shit!!!!!!!!!! is whole loss of life. I am working on all of above. going back in time. living like that and only accessing internet when it is needed for making life more beautiful. Try on this friend ...
Hey Guys, been away for a while and relapsed today, but I'm determined, I don't have many strategies, I spend a long time by myself at home so it's quite hard to control my cravings, but I stopped smoking and maybe have replaced that with masturbation, sometimes I really wish I could just smoke a cigarette to relax when I feel the urge to M. I'm compromised to not watch anything today and I'm definitely compromised to at least got until the end of the week without doing it.
