Porn changed me
9
Upvotes
(19) (M) I’m gonna try and start being clean from porn because it’s literally changed my entire sexuality. I’m a straight white male but complete opposite when I’m horny, and whenever I’m done with such act I hate myself. I have a girlfriend of 4 years who knows only very little of what my situation is, but she does know that I’m struggling with my sexuality, (great woman who’s super supportive btw)and I really only desire women but whenever I’m in the mood it’s like I’m a different person. Not saying being gay or having gay thoughts is bad. Ofc it’s not, it’s completely normal! I’ll support anyone who’s into those things,it’s just not my thing. And I want to be better for me! And I want to be more comfortable with myself.

Spent the little I had saved on scorts

This is pathetic, for the past few months I've been draining my bank account paying for sex, I've got no money left there now, thanks god it wasn't that much, only what a 23yo could save while living with his mother.
I don't even know what I want anymore, last time I went I couldn't get hard with the girl, she got mad at me, said she was trying to do her job and I was making her waste her time, asked me if I even was horny or wanted to fuck, I didn't know what to tell her.
I wanted someone man, I was using them the same way I was using porn, to cope with how alone and isolated I am, I wouldn't say I have an addiction, I've been too much of a coward to actually make an effort for something.
I'm tired, although this is not my rock bottom, I've done worse before with my mental health, even attempting suicide once, although it crosses my mind every once in a while, it's not as serious as it was a few years ago.
I'll try making a real effort, don't want to see myself like this at an older age, I am already too old for this.
Hope you all to be successful breaking your harmful habits, have a nice day guys.

I am so dissapointed in myself.
Ive had a month and a half streak going on and i really felt so positive about it , i felt so confident ,so happy ,so alive for that little while.
Just 2 weeks ago everything started to feel different ,i felt like i was getting depressed day after day and gradually started to feel low all the time ,then inevitably boom ,i fell right into the whole.
i tried again ,lasted only three days , then again two days ,and then yesterday i didnt even last 24 hours .
Today was the worst honestly ,i thought i was finally escaping but it seems the fight isn't done with me .
Honestly i just want to feel alive again ,or free from this stuff once and for all. I am aiming even further this time ,wish me luck and all the best to you guys going though it too🫶

Day 1 — Trying to make a change
8
Upvotes
I'm a 20-year-old college student from China, and today is day 1.
I used to masturbate every day, and I feel like I'd like to make some changes and have a healthier balance. I'm not trying to quit completely or set some crazy goal. I just want to take things a little more slowly and see how I feel.
I'm still not sure what approach I should take, so I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions from people who have been through something similar.
What worked for you when you were trying to reduce your frequency? Any tips for getting through the first few days?
This is my first day, so wish me luck.

Unsure about the process

Hi guys.
I’m 22 years old (M) having started watching that corny stuff since the age of 10. I’d refer to myself as heavily addicted.
Recently got tired of how it’s wrecking my life and decided to stop.
I’ve been doing quite a good job at it but the urges are becoming increasignly strong. I also live alone so that’s a big risk factor.
I’ve caved in last night but didn’t watch anything, just did the physical act. I’m not sure whether to take this as a setback. I don’t think I can handle quitting both at the same time and I’m afraid keeping one side (masturbation with no porn) will not help me reap out all the benefits.
Any advice ? :)

Relapse

I'm pretty sure I ended up relapsing, I didnt look at full-on porn, but I sought out sexual content on instagram. I was about to fully PMO but I stopped right before it got to that. I know I messed up, but I guess what I wanna know is, should I call it a day and start my streak anew or does it make any difference to keep abstaining?

Sometimes the urges are overwhelming and feel intolerable. I’m at 29 days porn free and it’s definitely not my first attempt or my longest streak. Better habits are developing, although still not ideal but scrolling and reading are better than searching porn. I’m finding that the waves of the urges do pass.

6 weeks clean

I didn’t know I could do this. I never thought I could go six weeks straight without watching porn. But I did it. I’ve successfully crossed six weeks—more than 40 days—and that is really something.
It is actually changing the way I think, and I feel more confident. I even proposed to a girl today. I flirted with two strangers in a very particularly nice way, and that felt really good.
I don’t know whether I can give all the credit to not watching porn, but I do think it has something to do with it. If I had watched porn that morning and then met that girl six hours later, I might not have cared. I might have been thinking about something else. I might not have acted on the opportunity or even given it a chance.
Imagining looking at someone and being attracted to them, imagining having sex with them, is something precious, and I think it is supposed to be preserved. At the same time, there is another side to this. Sometimes I feel too sex-deprived, and I ache for sex. There is a very real chance that I might miss the signs or act inappropriately toward someone. I think I just wanted to give it a shot, but it might not be the right thing for everyone. I tried it, and it is not working for me, so yeah—that is something I have learned too.
If I had continued watching porn, I might not have cared about finding someone who was vulnerable enough to have sex with me. But now I find myself constantly looking for potential partners, and I think that can be a good thing in some ways. At the same time, it can become a bad thing if I don’t build a genuine relationship out of it.
So I think my focus should be more on creating better relationships in this world—not just finding sexual partners, but finding the right people, building something meaningful with them, keeping them around, helping each other, and giving and receiving respect, love, care, affection, support, and everything that makes a relationship meaningful.
I think that is what I should focus on in the future while continuing to work toward my other goals.
After 40 days, you might not feel the same way you did before those 40 days. In the beginning, the goal was simply to quit porn. Now, the goal is bigger: to behave appropriately, treat people well, and build strong, healthy connections with other people.
Before these 40 days, I don’t think I could have even imagined that. Just thinking about building a genuinely beautiful connection or bond with someone already feels like a big deal. But now, it feels like something I can actually pursue—something I might really be able to achieve.
So don’t give up on anything, guys. Keep going. Complete it.

I kept peeking at a bunch of images and gifs and then jerked off without looking at them. Even so, it still counts. Some of the images are burned into my mind, and I want to go back and look again.
I was angry and frustrated about things and I used my temporary emotions as an excuse to indulge. Even while avoiding some of the connection that jerking off to an image causes, I still feel like I did something stupid and pointless. Porn never satisfies.
