But this time its different because I created an account and I know you guys can help me get through this. My school starts in a month and i really need the motivation so I welcome every advice.

    Firstly, your English looks fine to me.

    You actually write better than a lot of native English speakers writing on here from the U.S.


    It looks like you've already identified your problem.

    Sweden always sounded like a nice place to me.

    I'm wondering why you find it boring.

    The solution obviously is to find some kind of wholesome excitement.

    Be imaginative.

    Explore freely and widely.

    There must be things in Sweden to hold your interest.

    Make a deliberate decision to engage with those.


    You also are looking forward to the start of school, which will definitely fill a lot of your time.

    That should take your attention away from the urge for PMO.

    And, it will use up much of the excess energy you have now.

    However, that will not be a complete cure.

    I know school is stressful, and you'll become anxious and tired.

    Then, PMO may appear as a way to escape from all of that.

    This makes it all the more important for you to find healthy diversions.

    Students must find ways to take care of themselves while studying.


    There are many reasons why we indulge in pornography and masturbation.

    One reason may be horniness and sexual frustration.

    PMO for that reason may be, at best, "understandable."

    (Never, can we say that is "okay.")

    It is regrettable when someone looks at porn because he has nothing else to do.

    That's because there are so many other great things to explore.


    I try not to give explicit advice; I can't claim to know all the answers.

    In your case, I can give a clear directive, which is quite simple.

    Get away from the computer.

    Get out of the house.

    Go out an just explore.

    Go anywhere, even if you don't know exactly where you are going.

    (Eventually, you'll find your way home if you get lost.)

    This will relax you, broaden your awareness, and enable you to imagine new things.

    Thanks DayOne44 for the answer.
    I was born and raised in Sweden and eventually Sweden becomes boring with time. I always have problems with friends. I lost all of my highschool friends because they used me and every time I hung out with them I nearly get arrested, so I decided to leave them and it’s really hard to get good friends from a bad neighborhood.

    I meditate twice a day and I work out 5 times a week, but after every work out I feel lonely and bored so I turn to porn.

    But this time I have this community to turn to and it’s so nice to have this subject open with other with shared interests.

    Thanks again

    @DaniAK6

    You've done a lot already to sort out the things in your life.

    Those old so-called friends look like they were nothing but trouble.

    It's good you ditched them.

    I understand the problems of not being able to make friends and not having them.

    I had those problems all through my youth.

    I've been living in a new town in a different part of the U.S.

    Apart from work, I don't know anyone here.

    Through all these years, I've gotten very good at staying occupied by myself.


    Meditation and exercise are two of the greatest things.

    I try to do both regularly, and they help all parts of my life.


    Some of us may spend a little too much time on NoFap.

    Regardless, this is a great community, and it's nice to be in contact with people from all over the world.

    This is not mentioning the common problem which brings us all here.

    Our objective is to quit PMO.

    If we do that by staying on this site, then that is our means, and it is nothing but good.
