    Hi everybody.

    This may seem like a simple introduction, but this is actually the first time I'm sharing this story of my addiction with anyone except myself. I have been struggling with porn and masturbation addiction for over 4 years now. I've tried to quit almost every month for 4 years straight and have decided to start taking this seriously. I'll start by giving a quick introduction here today. I can't do this alone and I'll need all of your help. I'm hoping to rally a team and motivate you guys as well. Let's stop saying we're going to change, and start actually changing.

    I'm currently 21 years old and a senior at an Ivy League college. I'm an athlete, a software developer, and a friend. You'd think I'd have nothing to complain about. But I do. My sex life should be the best it's ever been, but instead I haven't had real sex in over a year and a half. My penis has stopped reacting to real women and my confidence has taken a massive hit. I know that if I make a change and stop masturbating I'll have the energy and drive to finally achieve all of the goals I've set out to do. I remember the first time I tried to quit masturbating back in middle school. My goal was 40 days. The longest I've gone since I started has been 2 weeks. I want to make a change, start loving real sex again, and start being me again. Let's blow past that 40 days and see where we can go. Feel free to reach out as I think team work is all of our best bets. Thanks guys. Let's do this.
     
  2. Steve,

    Welcome - you are in the right place.

    Yes - what you describe as you penis stopping its reaction is common. The brain gets so addicted to the pretty people in porn - all naked. If you don't like a vid, just click the next one. How can real life compete with that?

    Then, once you get married, how will your wife compete with that.

    Best to start now, before it escalates as fare as I have to PIED and DE.

    Keep us informed,

    We’re doing better right now. Over The Weeknd I relapsed a bit but have stayed strong since. I’m starting to notice a mentality switch in my head and I’m starting to want to talk to real women and find a relationship again. How are things with you?

    Welcome!
    I am with you on this one. I'm 21 years old as well and have been struggling for 5 years. My longest streak this spring was 32 days, and I've relapsed again and again ever since.
    I started yesterday, and hopefully Sunday was my last relapse

    You're doing the right thing.
    And you are doing it at a young age.
    Slow and steady wins the race. Seriously.

    Be your own hero.
    It doesn't mean you don't fail. It means you fall, get back up, dust yourself off, and never give up.
    No one can live this life for you.
