    Hello everyone,
    For some time now, I've been grappling with self-image issues, and have seen masturbation become a bigger part of that problem. Deciding that something meaningful needed to be done, I've joined this forum and am looking to focus my attention two-fold:
    1) To see myself and my body in a healthy, accepting, and positive manner
    2) To give up a cycle of self-loathing centered around masturbation

    Thanks to everyone in this support network and I wish you all strength on your journeys.

    Welcome to the community! It's a great tool to share your problems about porn/masterbation. As to you specifically I find your challenge is going to be easier than you realize. Once you give up that mind set that is hooked on porn and m, you can focus it to other things, like eating healthy and working out. Best of luck to you man!

    Thanks, Bj02019! Like I said, I'm grateful to have a forum, and it's great to discuss some of these feelings and see how others overcome the urges. I'm looking to live out a more active lifestyle, and appreciate your advice on the steps ahead.
    Great job on reaching the 2 week mark, and here's to your continued strength!
