    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to introduced myself. Since 23 years old and up to last year I was quite addicted to porn and masturbating. This year so far I'm still faping although not to porn anymore but softcore material and personal fantasies that occurred in my head practically all day long so I guess it's not a really a big difference here. Just seeking support and maybe a few suggestions to get through the rest of the year going stone cold. I think my problem stems from the fact that whenever I feel anxious (work,school,personal issues) I masturbate in order to feel some kind of temporary relief and I seriously need a say to to calm down and control it but this has been very difficult for me. I do have a beautiful girlfriend and this addiction has caused me performance anxiety more than once. I'm afraid that as many of us here the expectations of my mind are surpassing reality. I really love my girlfriend and I feel might be the one for me so obviously I don't want to mess it up! Thanks for reading...day 1 here we go!

    Regards!

    Hey Man,

    Welcome to the site. I can understand you totally. Whenever I am anxious about anything, even good things in life I get the urge to PMO. You have come to the right place for support.
