Hello fellow warriors, the battle has been intense for 50 days it has not been easy but we keep winning more territories here is my current sit-rep; At the moment it seems to be that my morning woods are on a downward spiral Sensitivity Is slowly coming back (was able to cum twice in a space of an hour as opposed to being able to go 2hrs without a single sensation) My aim is to make it to 90days and enter a 1000days challenge. Overall I feel great For my question I would love to know if there's a difference in the recovery between the people who started off sexually on PMO at an early age before having actual sex And People who had actual sex before getting addicted to PMO. All ideas and opinions are welcome... This is Sergeant Tipsy over!!
I don't see any plausible cause why it should be different. It's always the current state that is important.
What has been working to help you achieve your success? Regarding your question about PMO and exposure to sex…PMO is a symptom and a coping mechanism. Some choose porn, some choose sex, some choose alcohol or another drug.
Well my biggest driving force is that I wanted to reverse the damage I had done on myself through PMO I also have always dreamt of being free from PM. I started as early as 11yo and now I'm 23 .so it's had a hold on me for too long, it affects my esteem it makes me feel worthless and I am tired of feeling like that. I am also curious in finding out who I am without PM in my life. As for your reply to my question, I agree that at some point it becomes a coping mechanism but then for the different people I mentioned I feel the duration of their journey might differ
There is growing evidence that people who start using porn really young fall behind in developing social skills and impulse control. It works similarly to people starting with weed at a young age. The "fuck it" mechanism overruns the rational parts of your brain. Porn becomes a substitute for real sex. The younger generation stays virgins for longer. 30 year old virgins arent as uncommon as it were just 15 years ago. What happened about 15 years ago? Humanity got smartphones.
I feel there is a difference between the two. It's a like difference between a crack addict and a alcohol addict their journeys will not be the same .
I absolutely concur with you. Starting off with porn at a really young when you're not thinking about who you are, it can kind of makes finding out your purpose really turbulent. One retracts to their shell, it just make you feel alone in the world
