***TRIGGER WARNING*** The reason I want to quit is because I want my future daughter/wife to know she is so incredibly beautiful without donning makeup, getting breast implants, waxing her nether regions, painting her nails, etc. She'll never be able to fully appreciate that if her father/husband is getting off on some lady who is so far gone from the raw embodiment of femininity and human sexuality that every pure woman carries in her soul. I want my wife to feel loved, appreciated, valued, cherished, enveloped in my thoughts and desires in life. I want her to trust me and be vulnerable with me. I want her to feel sexy. When we lock eyes I want her feel my presence, know I'm right there with her, feeling her emotions, thinking her thoughts, resisting my overbearing desire to kiss her. I likely will never get married nor will I be able to make a woman feel that way unless I give up this addiction. No woman deserves me in my current state. I have more to give the world and my future partner. No one but myself will get in my way. What's your "why" for embarking on this journey? Kindly share below.
Your reason are similar to mine, the women i loved left me cause i had PIED when i had no idea what that even was, i told her i would do anything to fix it but at the time i didnt know the cause of the dysfunction, she left without another word and that is where i found this forum through my research of my problem. In the hopes that one day if i am worthy enough to get another chance in a relationship that i will be ready to build a meaningful relationship.
I used to be topper in class and was a happy child with lot of passion. Then around grade 7th I started seeing porn. It was like the turning point in my life for worse. Things started going really bad with my studies and teachers were like he used to be the best and now he is failing the class. I still didn't stop. It's been more than 10+ years still struggling in quitting PMO. I want to catch up to the people and myself. If I would have been that person who never started PMO. I would be at really good position in my life.
Don't ever want to lie next to a beautiful woman i really like and not being able to have Sex because of the skewed expectations from watching too much porn. Worked pretty well.
I say goodbye to porn because all that what i watched is fantasy what will never come true.I m deep intro femdom,all that what i have watched is complete bullshit,just brainwashing,losing time,energy,semen,hope,everything.
I've stopped to PMO because I want to have a real connection with myself and others. Also I want to be honest and feel pure.
Great Post OP and great replies. My reasons are solely religious but the worldly reasons would be to not be a hypocrite and to have a clean life from the inside and on the outside and having nothing to hide.
I quit because I don't want to be a slave. When you've got dirty images of women in your mind all day long and you view pornography, it makes it difficult to focus on important things. Also for religious reasons -- I believe that God wants me to quit.
I realized that 9 years of masturbation took my manhood, memory, health, character, patience, happiness, torque and so on; and for over a year I almost can't do without anything homosexual. That makes me very nervous and sad, I was just eating myself and my chance to mate with opposite gender and rise through social hierarchy. That even made me a bad son to my parents, I was a crying baby on lot more situtations than now, plus I procrastinated lots of important things and plans, more and more since I started to masturbate. Nobody has to call masturbation and porn that dirty, bad or a "curse". It is/was a "curse" for me, and I don't want to carry that curse aynmore. That's my "why" for quitting porn as a starting step.
I really admire your views on why you want to quit porn. You are a role model to the rest of the male population. Porn has made women into objects. And that's how we view them when we consume it. I saw a video on tedx a out a guy on why porn is disgusting and it really opened my eyes. Porn is true evil. My reason for quitting porn is to not be a part of the evil that's going on. I'm funding sex trafficking, rape, abuse of women everytime I view porn. I am glad to say that I will no longer be funding the evil of this world. I hope to get closer to God by giving up porn. 31 days no pmo so far and I know it will only lead to me doing good in this world.
To overcome my weaknesses and bring the goodness to the world by always engaging myself into productive things and making myself more reliable. Inorder to achieve this, i can't bring this addiction with me anymore..also I see this NoFap platform as an oppurtunity to get in touch with others who are also having the same problem..Good luck
Regular fapping + playing video games all day were wrecking havoc on me and my dopamine receptors. I became a lazy slob, letting the world pass by me while I just sat in my room. This shaped my character as well as I became an unconfident, unhappy individual ridden with social anxiety and depression. Embarking on this NoFap journey is just one part of my holistic approach to become the person I always envisioned myself as.
Great to hear you are motivated to becoming a better person. Good luck to you on your journey brother. I wish you all the best.
I want to live under the motto "Kill Your Masters". It feels so freeing to not be controlled or enslaved by something. I also want to be closer to the God I believe in.
I'm sick of feeling so much shame and guilt. It really is getting me down and impacting my life so badly. However it has given me the motivation and strength to improve myself and morals. Also a chance to become connected with the creator. This is it now. The addiction shall be purged.
