    Hey all,

    I normally don't do stuff like this. Been a lurker my whole life but at this point I need to take a step forward and commit.
    I'm 25 years old and haven't had sex in 5 years. I watch porn and masturbate daily, regardless of how much it hurts or chafes. It's completely sucked out my drive in life. I feel lethargic every day and while I'm not suicidal and have a great career, this issue really just makes everything else feel empty.
    At this point I don't even masturbate because I'm horny, I've actually run out of novel porn categories to keep me entertained. I just continue to do it because I know that endorphin rush will give me a false sense of sexual plausibility.

    I'm ready to quit this thing forever. I hear over time it get's easier. I hope you people are right about this.

    I'm going for a 6 month reboot. Message me if you need an accountabilibuddy.

    You are definitely suffering from some serious fapping induced brain fog. I had it for many years and just thought it was depression, but I was actually causing it with all the fapping each day. Once I quit and finally went on a 96 day nofap streak last year the brain fog lifted and I got a new lease on life.

    Yeah I wish I hadn't waited so long to start this. Fapping has been so publicly normalized that I had to reach the point of self-hatred to start caring about stopping. Good to know it has helped you out my friend, I'll join you soon!

    read all the effects of pmo on yourbrainonporn.com. This habit isn't "harmless" as the lies that are repeated to us by our society all the time. I would argue that even without the porn part, the fapping alone does some bad damage to us as well. It will help to have that knowledge of the damage when you get ambushed by urges and are tempted to look at porn or even fap again.

    Fapping literally strips the life out of living. We are stripped of motivation, energy, and only want to go to sleep. It's an awful habit to continue.
