    Hello,

    I am 24 years old and I have been watching porn and masturbating for around 10 years now. It did not feel like a big deal or a problem at first, but through the last 4 years I have been trying to reduce my porn consumption and I find myself in a constant back and forth situation to this day.
    Sometimes I restrain for two weeks and sometimes I fap multiple times in a row. What is most upsetting is that I feel like I am not in controle of myself and my urges but that they are instead controlling me.
    I am in a long term relationship and I do feel the negative effects of pornography regarding my sex drive and my affection towards my girlfriend. But it also slows me down in my everyday life, keeping me from getting things done and plaguing me with guilt.

    I demand controle over my body and my actions and thus I am starting my nofap journey today and I want to reach the 30 day mark as my first milestone.
    Thank you for having me and wish me strength!

    PS: If you have any recommendations on how to fight the urges that are deffinitely going to befall me, I am happy to hear them.

    Welcome to NoFap. Try to use your girlfriend as a reason to get over this addiction. Furthermore, try to control your gaze. If you watch where you look, it will go a long way in helping you stop PMO. What I mean is to not look at Victoria's Secret ads on TV, don't look at the magazines in Wal-Mart's checkout aisles and look somewhere else when you come across a woman who's wearing skimpy clothing.

    Summer is coming up and there are going to be women walking around in tank tops and short shorts. If you don't control your gaze, you're going to have a much more difficult time fighting against lust and masturbation.
