Sup guys, i am happy to finally find the motivation to register and join this community. I have been an addicted user ever since the discovery that came with the age of high speed internet around the age of 12-14. To this day, i can exactly remember one of the first videos i watched to the point that i still know the name and revisit it regularily. Oddly enough i dont remember all the other content that came after. Shows what sort of impact these intitial videos had on my brain, i guess. The intensity and deviancy of the content consumed have twisted and escalated over the years to a degree, you would probably find it very deep down close to the bottom of an iceberg chart. Secrecy and lingering shame came as an result of said consumption. Short introduction to myself: - I am someone that uses Porn daily ranging once to five times if i am esspecially bored. - I am a fit person that is interested in sport, gaming, music, video editing and selfimprovement - otherwise a perfectly functional part of society with a fiancée in my life. she knows about my addiction. The shame that comes with it sometimes makes me awkward in social interactions, especially with women. - I love a challenge and regularily expose myself to different kinds of suffering in my search for selfimprovement. Examples of Interest are: - Workouts - Coldtherapy - Ketogenic diet & fasting I have signed into this Forum because i have already tried to beat this addiction for a year and mostly just followed the subreddit- which i am not a big fan of tbh. Why? Because it seems to be a place of pity in which someone states proudly that they've had enough and one post after someone reports another of his many failures. I don't like this because it sends a negative signal that lingers in the brain of someone just passively scrolling by. That's why i joined this Forum instead in search for specific, scientic Information and strategies. No selfpity Posts or Declaration of War on the Pornindustry. I hope to find like-minded people on this journey and learn as much as i can to get rid of this shameful addiction and maybe make a few friends along the way. Hugs and kisses.
