Hello there! I am a new user on this form, and I gotta say, it's been a rough life lately.
I am 16 years old. I go to a very rigorous high school and am an artist and an VERY sensitive! There's my short bio.
Now into the real stuff.
I've been a porn addict for 4-5 years. What the hell! Recently, I've been getting sexually instrusive thoughts because of the porn I watched to the point of near panic attacks and fantasizing castrstion! But, let's get on with my superhero backstory or whatever you'd like to call it.
When I was in middle school, I loved anthropomorphic animals. You name it: Disney, Sonic the Hedgehog, BOOM! Loved it all! But it was no obsession, no no no--it was just one of the many things, like writing and learning, that I liked.
And was I alone? Nope! A friend of mine from middle school was also into Sonic the Hedgehog and cute, fuzzy animal creatures. We created comics together with our cringey adventures in the Sonic world including predictable plots and nonsensical nonsense (I literally don't remember a single solid plotline--BUT WHO CARES WE WERE JUST YOUG'NS). We were best friends!
But, he was suffering from lots of problems at school.
Constant bullying. Rumors were being spread. I was his therapist and made sure he wasn't feeling down. But he was having anger issues left and right, yelling things out loud during class, and I was seeing my best friend deteriorate...
Then, one day, he was not as vocal as he usually was at school, and he invited me during recess to see some of his drawings...
I was revolted.
Basically, anthropormorphic animal PORN! Wow, I did NOT want to see that! I told him that is a problem and that he needs to not keep drawing it because, to me, it felt wrong. I'm sure he has a similar past to my near future (which I will get to), but I digress. He showed it to another friend and he was disgusted, and I spent the rest of the day kinda shocked.
Then, the worst part came.
I was looking up Sonic stuff online, and before you know it, I found it, the Fire Nation of my mind (which Aang better be quick to help me defeat because it's been A LONG TIME AANG DAMN)--*shudders* furry porn! But since this was after I found out was masturbation was, and it slightly turned me on, I masturbated to it. Day, after day, after day...
Addiction.
Animal mating videos also took place in this weird "fetish" of mine and I wanted it to go to hell! I prayed every day to make it stop, and in those days, my furthest streak for abstaining from PMO was, what, three days? Compared to 90, I needed, hmm, approximately 87 MORE DAYS! But this was before my knowledge of NoFap...
Now, how's it been going? Well, I abstained from that stupid porn for about a week and a half in the near past, and guess what? I was reconnecting with my childhood love for anthropomorphic animals! I was going on DeviantArt to feed myself with all the cool art on it, and while I am not a furry personally, that art was EPIC! I was severely disgusted by the amount of fetish art on the website and even felt the urge to make a rant on the website about how fetish art is not rated mature art! I also started watching animated movies with anthro and feral animated animals NO PROBLEM! But whatever, I was meeting with cuteness overload, drawing my own characters (along with my own human avatar, which I refuse to make an anthro, artists reasons), writing my own stories about school life and finding my inner artist.
But then, my new best friend asked a question after I shared my love of anthro with her: "How'd you get into anthros?"
I looked to my childhood and was like, "I used to LOVE Sonic the Hedgehog and Disney films with anthro characters" (or just animal characters in general).
BUT THEN THE FIRE NATION RETURNED!
Memories of the porn flooded me, arousal began to happen, I was paralyzed. I told her later that this was my past and I was ashamed of it, and she told me she wasn't weirded out and wanted to support me by helping me forget this addictive past (that was very close to me, apparently...)
For three days, near panic attacks. Shuddering. Rumination. Taking several showed to "cleanse" my sins away. Looking up being a zoophile (even though I've never wanted to abuse a real animal, YUCK) even being a PEDOPHILE (thanks OCD Action UK, now I'm questioning thoughts I've never even had...and hell to the no no NO I have NOT looked up child porn). I have this tendency to look up all my problems on the internet and then mentally adopt those problems unconsciously, and let me tell you, I had fantasies of undergoing chemical castration because I just wanted sex to be out of my life forever. But I know it causes more problems than it can fix and nothing comes for free. Sexually intrusive thoughts plagued my days this Christmas season, and I just felt like shutting myself away from the world because then they'd be safe with one less twisted mind.
But no. That's no longer what I'm going to do!
I've heard about NoFap and have even gone on the forums here from time to time. What I think I truly need is a LONGER than 90 day reboot with no PMO in order to fix my sexual thoughts. I truly just want to be asexual (not be interested in sex), but I must not repress any sexual identity. Although I mostly think demisexuality is what I truly have (I really only feel sexual attraction to people when I've developed emotional connection, but still...). I think it's time to go forward with this. I relapsed today, but I know with the immense pressure from this forum and support from other users, I will go through this epic journey to fight against porn! Because look what it did to me. It made me physically and mentally sick! But I am in a transitional phase. I can get the attention off these memories. I can stop PMO!
It's going to take a while to convince myself that I'm not a monster and that these sexual feelings were established by IMAGES ON THE INTERNET, and that I'm not long gone. I can't be, right?
Also, just a list of the things that cause me to masturbate: rumination, stress (perfectionism), and depression. Time to do other things!
(Oh and btw I have decided to delete all my innocent anthro art stored on my phone because I was getting aroused by them, which never happened before the triggering question my friend asked me. Maybe I need to desensitize myself to the fact that these are not figures of sexual pleasure? I truly want my childhood love back. Maybe I won't get it fully, but I can get the good parts and no longer associate with the bad).
Anyone else with a similar story? I haven't read many other stories with people affected by furry porn at a young age. It's a problem because these kids who want to truly express creativity in the fashion if animsls are vulnerable to the madness I've seen! Like my old friend, I so hope he's gotten over it. It's tough, but that's what life is about--being tough and then getting utterly destroyed by our persistence!
(Can you call this trauma? Is porn trauma? IDK)
