I am a new member of the NoFap community and I am here to introduce myself. I started masturbating at the age of 17 before then I watched porn in small doses. In 2010, my masturbation and porn addiction hit an all time high and since then I haven't slowed down. Recently I got ill so I didn't masturbate for almost three weeks but still during those days I watched porn. Few days ago I masturbated and I felt a sudden shift in my mentality again, that aggressiveness, negative thinking etc. I searched for the adverse effects of porn on an average person's mind and when I read those. I literally hated myself for wasting all those years in watching porn and jerking off to it. All my failures in studies, social life and my general life came in front of me and I realized that I was my OWN WORST ENEMY. So from now on I decided to shift my life in the right direction by spending my time in more useful activities rather than watching videos in which the other guy fucks a chick and jerking off like a sore loser to those videos. I wanted to quit but I couldn't, hopefully my will power will be strong enough to stop me from destroying my life again and again. I only have a few questions, will breaking this habit forever yield good results in general or not? Hope all the people who got rid of this addiction will guide me.
Hello, soldier. Yes, abstaining from PMO will yield positive result, not only with your sexual health, but with your life in general. The less you seek short term gratification the more you seek things that will actually make you happy. Good luck!
