About me

Hi everyone, my name is Tom and I am 23 yrs old. If you were to ask anyone I consider to be close to me, they would label me as being; happy, confident, ambitious, successful and always available to anyone who needs a helping hand. I suppose they’re fair assumptions to make, however, secretly I’m in a constant struggle. I’ve struggled to admit that I do indeed suffer with an addiction... A masturbation and porn (erotica) addiction. I feel that finally within this community I have support from those fighting the same fight. I’ve never wanted to face the fact that my addiction has had any impact on my ability to sustain meaningful relationships, specifically my ability to engage in sexual activity. I have recently met someone special and for the life of me I couldn’t stand the thought of loosing her because of my inability to perform sexually. It is affecting my life and it’s affecting my relationship, I don’t know what to do, but I know whatever it is I can’t do alone!

 

Thank you. I wish it didn’t have to take such a change of circumstance to make me come to this realisation... I can’t help me questioning myself on whether or not I could have tackled it sooner, as serious as it is, the thought of breaking down any significant relationship in my life is hard to bare. I want to be able to explain my struggles to the one person in my life who I want to keep close, but I can’t even communicate, let alone comprehend the full extent of my problem for myself yet.

 

Thank you! Now all I hope is that I can stay on this path. I just need to gather the strength and support needed to nurture a change in the right direction, until now, I’ve labeled it impossible..
