    Climb a mountain, tell no one, let them wonder why your computer never get viruses.

    Well said. You don't really need to say anything. Let your life speak for itself when you reach the mountain top.

    Personally, it's completely unviable. My father is pretty retrograde and wouldn't understand it. Plus, he'll be looking at me differently, I know.
    Also, as my partners stated before, there is such an amazing feeling when you achieve your goals on your own.

    But I think they or my mother could help. Help me not think about it and not worry about others who can have sex easily and had many girlfriends.


    Others who can befriend any pretty girl. I get afraid of pretty girls because I think I could not please them.

    Also I think my mother could help me not think about it. Sometimes even without P and in the workplace, I fantasize. It is too much..

    I think you should stop instead of "wanting to stop"

    I told my mom and my little brother while or probably after dinner[​IMG]. They found the subject highly uncomfortable and they didn't want to talk about it.

    I read a book about it and put evidence in their face. They became uncomfortable and I was to blame.

    Don't tell your mom, she isn’t going to help you, I don’t think you want that help, she doesn’t want to control you, check if you’re fapping all the time. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with help but it is your struggle. Find someone that shares that with you and they might provide help.

    Your mom probably won’t be able to understand you. I didn't share it because I wanted help I just shared my frustrations after relapse. I never talked about the subject after 2 weeks progress. The “stupid” idea of sharing or talking about it always was after a relapse, ALWAYS. By seeking help you might acknowledge the bad side of the situation.

    I fail in seeing a positive outcome for you when you tell your parents about your struggle. I don't know your folks so I can't say. I do think that you father is of more use than your mom since he is a male.


    "@himmelstoss Climb a mountain, tell no one, let them wonder why your computer never get viruses."

    Yes.

    "you cannot change people, but people can change themselves"
    Telling others will cost too much energy, climb the mountain. Some of the wonderers might find answers for themselves. That's probably the best way.

    But its too much. Even without P, i still imagine scenarios. Because they say I am a handsome man, but does not have the skills to get girls, talk to girls, say hi, cant say what I really mean because i am afraid of what other people might say.

    Ill just use a shortcut, so every nice or pretty girl that I see, I discourage my self because I could never be too good for that...

    And of course sex is prevalent, a lot are getting laid and I am here not getting laid. Despite being handsome and some girls like me.
    And in the office, I sit infront the glassdoor, so everytime a girl passes by, I imagine her as a target for S and other maniac things. I also dicourage myself that I could not do that. And of course I am always dissapointed because I dont get what I can, which is to get laid or do maniac things with her.

    Only YOU know YOUR parents.

    I'm a parent, and I would be proud, and touched that my child had the cojones to talk to me about something so difficult.

    I would be delighted that we had the kind of relationship where he felt he could share something so personal.

    I would do everything that I can to help, advise and guide, and try not to judge him.

    Do what YOU think best.

    Thank you! :) it came to a point when I dont even get happy or excited during or after I do it. Even watching P.

    So it was in my mind all along for watching to many P and facebook. Where a lot of stuff u dont need to see.

    We all fantasize about something at some point, it's not a big deal actually. The matter of fact here is, being respectful always and not sharing these fantasies at all.
    Do you exercise? If not, try it out, maybe starting with a quick run in the morning/evening, or some bodyweight workout routines. It'll relieve a lot of stress and keep your mind busy at that time, plus, getting healthier, stronger(mentally and physically) and it'll finally lead to a happier day at the end.
    Keep on, don't give up!

    I agree with radomlatinguy, the fantasies are more normal, just try and get rid of the poison of pornography. If you can rid your life of that, you will have a huge advantage over your peers.
