    Hi everyone,
    In the efforts to be honest with myself and put my thoughts into words, I am being honest with you all at nofap as well. Here are 10 facts about my story.

    I am on day 16 of PMO.
    I am a university student.
    I have never had sex before.
    I am afraid I am too skinny to have sex.
    I am afraid I have a small penis.
    I began watching pornography regularly when I was 16.
    I developed habits of watching both male and female domination videos.
    I often feel inferior to others in a physical sense.
    I often feel frustrated about this.
    I sometimes hate the decisions I have made in the past.

    Here are 10 more facts about myself and my story.

    I am taking this one day at a time.
    I have strong support from my best friend.
    I told my dad about my porn obsession, and telling him led me to login again to nofap.
    I have strong support from my dad.
    I am confident with who I am as a person.
    I am confident with the decisions I make.
    I am independent and adventurous.
    I am creative.
    I have an insane amount of love to give.
    I am worthy of being loved.

    This is me being honest with myself and the nofap community. I love you all and wish you the best on your journeys!

    Sincerely,
    ThisTime

    We need to stop thinking of ourselves as victims and take responsibility of our life and actions. Being brutally honest is the first step. We just got to commit and keep going.

    Being honest with yourself is the first step to freedom. Do not expect it to happen instantly, but once you overcome PMO, you will experience incredible benefits, even if not the "superpower" way that some people report.

    I would also like to address the issue of feeling that you penis is small. I think watching porn for a prolonged time can alter our perceptions of reality including penis size. I have immensely suffered from this feeling of inadequacy but I have managed, rather I'm in the process of managing to have it under control. This is how it has worked out for me:
    1. Fapping causes the penis to shrink, especially in flaccid state. Mine has always been shrunk to a very tiny, almost invisible size. I mean so small that when I touch it through my pants, I can just point the tip of a finger to encircle it in its entirety. Don't get me wrong--it is not a micro penis. But ye, it does get really small. Again, even when erect, due to consistent fapping, it may not be possible to achieve a full erection as a result of desensitization. During my current streak, I have noticed a slightly large flaccid size and I'm getting less worried by it.
    2. Penis size is controversial. In reality, I tend to feel that my penis is somewhat thin because about 75% of the ladies I have slept with, I always feel that they V* is kinda loose. Maybe it's not there problem but mine. However, my point is that I have made girls do crazy stuff with my perceived "small/thin" size. Things they never experienced with their ex-boyfriends (things like squatting etc) who were probably much endowed more than I do. I would say that worries me less. What worries me on the contrary, is me having a full erection and getting naturally connected to a woman during love-making.
    3. Also, while one-night stand feels better with a hugely endowed man, ladies (a great deal of them) love romance. So you can focus on stimulating her mind through everything that romance involves.
    Generally, keep the streak as long as you possibly can. A lot things that worry you now will fade off gradually but surely. All the best buddy.
