    I wanted to quit porn to cure and lingering pied and regain full size and function but not even that seems to be a strong enough motivator to quit

    My motivation is to have an opportunity to travel. Really, it is impossible to enjoy the views when you always think about porn... I cannot travel by bike or by car - this is really hard. I remember the times I enjoyed travelling a lot by it so I want to have this time back..

  3. I found enough motivation by just making an entire list of pros and cons of watching porn, you'll be suprised how many damn cons there are. My biggest motivation is definitely to be able to have real sex the way it should feel. If you keep watching porn, sex will never feel amazing but just fine and you will always want to go back to porn for more stimulus. And your pp will always stay tiny aswell

  4. True, You're right.

    My problem with PMO is thag it doesn't allow me to live in the moment, It's like I'm always faded away despite me being around you. I can't be 100% conscious about that moment.

    The second reason is I need to have a lovely " Love Making " someday - Based on Love and Intimacy not P#*!...

    I think our brains are fried with liking P#*! - It's like if we see it as healthy which is Not!

    When we used to PMO - after getting to that orgasm - Do we keep watch ? If the answer is No! That means that our brain got Fried up, It's not us who like that but our brain that got addicted to it! And yes it's an addiction and very dangerous! It's like we're addicted to heroin.

    I wish we could finish off with this Toxic thing and move on with our lives into a better future.

  5. Just to regain my life again. I was wasting so much time on this habit.
    I also wanted to experience the motivation, energy, and grounded feeling I was hoping to get (and have been obtaining so far).
     
  6. Let's stick togather brother, You are doing great so far - 58 days so far is a good progress! I'm 50 days, We could do much more!

  7. For sure. I'm looking at it like a new lifestyle. I don't want to go back to it. My body may want to go back to it, but my soul does not.

  8. Yeah sure welcome!
    Remember one thing it's a " Drug! " - It's not healthy! Drugs is not healthy! - This has fried my brain for 10 years - It is time to stop now!
     
  9. My motivation initially was to become the best person I could be before I moved to Germany to study. But now it's getting rid of all these unnecessary fantasies that I got from my porno-edumacation about how sex should work. That will make me a more pleasant person to be around and certainly less of a lecherous pervert.

    Being able to concentrate better.

    Listen to music and *feel* the emotions from it.

    Enjoying a movie's storyline

    Enjoying the dynamic gameplay of a video game again.

    Feeling more emotions.

    Being more creative.

    Feeling more happiness.

    These things are so important to me.

  11. My motivation is to master my sexual energy and not return to the person I was before. Before I was weak. Any woman on the street with tna would make me jack off when I got home and perpetuate my depression. Since a year ago I've been working on my disciplines, keeping streaks of like 2 weeks or more in a row and fapping way less than before. My people skills have improved and I think about sex way differently than before. The only thing now that I have to work on is coming back to porn when I feel inadequate, or have an intense wet dream with the chaser effect driving me insane.

    I recently discovered that strong urges occur for me in the midst of feelings. Hope you get through it.

    Aye bro, a big motivator should be making your future self happy. I want to be able to look back in two years, and be proud that I took steps to be a better man. It all comes with a mindset shift too. How could you ever overcome your bad habit if you create this negative self talk where you beat yourself up and call yourself an addict for a slip up? The PMO is not going to go away until you address the underlying issues. PMO is a symptom, not always the problem itself.

  15. You'll have to go it alone here, bud. I'm deleting my account (it'll be gone in three days). I've never experienced such ingrates as I have on this website. I start a journal to inspire people and all I get is arrogance and foolishness. I knew it was a mistake to join. Take care.

  16. It's a little weird, I've been here longer than you, And I've met only good inspiring people, I don't know why it seem that way to you.

    Anyways, It was nice talking to you. Take care and don't forget to improve and work on yourself. Never give up on this NoFap Journey - Because the best is yet to come!

    I realize what porn really is,its an unhealthy way to manage your problems.The constant of escaping into a fantasy for only shoty lived pleausre and being doomed at the end of the session,thats not good in the long run.Im basically digging my self deeper into a hole every time i watch porn,and when you are in a deep hole like that its very hard to pull youtself up.Porn limits me in the man i want to be

    Don’t want to be a slave to it anymore. That is exactly what I am… A SLAVE!!!! Porn is my master. I was to be my own person again.

    Because porn is toxic to human health, toxic to human relationships, toxic to society. There is no such thing as a single PMO session. It turns your brain into a perv brain and life into a perv life. I don’t want that for myself.
