    Hi, everyone! I'm from Italy and I'm 14 years old. In the past days I did quite a bit of research and lurking on NoFap related websites and I now have decided that the path i want to walk on in my life should be a porn-free one.

    I started masturbating at a very young age, without knowing what it was, then i understood it in 3rd grade and went on doing that. I remember I once had like 7 orgasms in one hour and my dick got sore as hell for days. Then, in like 6th or 7th I started watching porn, because, you know, it's THAT age.

    I was or course addicted to some extent, like you're addicted to anything, but never heavily addicted, considering that I watched it like 3 times a week for years and i have been without it for 2 weeks without problems once. It has also never bee impacting my social life, or my school grades, or my health.

    However, recently I started to get more and more into it and into compulsive PMO, not to mentio into weirder stuff (I didn't even like it, but couln't help but watch it), and while I was checking if that was normal on google, I found out about NoFap.

    I don't think masturbation is EEEEVIL!!!, in fact, i think it's normal (masturbation is like a drinking a little beer while having dinner, while porn is like being an alcoholic) but I believe AT LEAST 30 days or more without it are necessary to rewire the brain and become truly free.

    So, here I am, trying to get rid of porn and help anyone in need to do the same.

    Cheers!
     
  2. Welcome to NoFap. You have made a wise choice. But be realistic from the outset. 30 days will have very little effect in terms of 'rewiring your brain and becoming truly free'. 9-12 months is much more likely. If it happens slightly ahead of that timeframe, it's a bonus. Approach it strictly and seriously. No touching whatsoever, no peeking and await the benefits. :)

    You think so? I thought that it would hardly take more than 2 months for someone who wasn't a porn addict and with such a young, changing mind.
    With "no touching" you mean i can't even, like, rapidly touch it when i'm sitting down and it gets in one of those terribly awkward position in my pants?
     
  4. The younger you are the longer it takes. It may seem counterintuitive to you, but that is what a scientist has observed. The reason is because you are using high-speed internet porn while your brain is still developing. Although temporary, using porn in your formative years causes brain damage. 6th grade - what is that age? It sounds very young to me.
    I question your assertion that you are not that addicted. The reason for thos is what you said here:
    This is a textbook sign of an advanced addiction. This phenomena is called the Coolidge effect. This means that you have seen so much of the porn you started with, it doesn't arouse you in the same way anymore. So, the deeply affected addict seeks weirder porn to get off - even though they do not like it!
    No, I didn't mean that. You can adjust your penis when you need to. No unnecessary touching I should have said. ;)

    11 years old, but I don't remember precisely when I started, could probably be 12 but surely no less than like 11 and 6 months. Did that like once a week when i was younger, it was out of curiosity, and "breaking the rules", I didn't even had semen to ejaculate, it started getting more common and about orgasm at 13, 13 and 6 months or so.
    By weirder stuff I don't mean stuff like gay/transsexual porn (not that's it's wrong to be gay or transsexual at all, just not my thing) or bdsm (again, not that it's wrong), I just mean that I was used to gentle, more "intimate" (word used very loosely since IT'S F***ING PORN) porn and somehow started with stuff that had, you know, facials, spanking, orgies, hookers on a highway, submissive, unrealistically horny women and stuff like that, I didn't quite use the right word for that.
    Oh, well, those kinds of situations are necessary indeed ;)
     
  6. OK, well let's not worry about the correct words or words misunderstood. NoFap is a place to be informed and encouraged. I shall be delighted if you completely reboot in 5/6 months rather than 9-12, believe me. That would be cool. :cool:

    If you want to learn more, I recommend you check out this site: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com

    Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you.

    The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    Two things:

    First, your username and accompanying avatar are both cool.
    You've inspired me. I think I'll listen to Master of Puppets later today!

    Second, holy crap... In a way, I feel so bad for your generation, growing up this way.
    14 years old, already painfully aware of terms and situations that I didn't become aware of till so much later in life. Cannot imagine what that must be like.

    Making this decision at 14 shows character and courage. Keep it up!

    First, I actually like Ride The Lightning a bit more TBH

    Second, it doesn't feel actually bad to know all of this stuff... but porn feels bad after you think about it a bit more.

    Not a question of good or bad, but of simply being aware of it all, and more specifically the way you are being made aware of it.
