    Hi All,

    This is my first post since I found the NoFap website.

    I've used porn since I was a young teenager. 13 or 14 y/o is when I started to look at pornographic images and videos. I am part of the generation that grew up with high speed internet and the introduction of porn clip sites (I'm now 28). When I was younger I pretty much abandoned myself to porn, but as I got older, I began to realize that it was destructive mentally, spiritually, and physically!

    Watching porn inevitably leads me to masturbate and to have strong feelings of shame and self loathing after I do. I'd really like to develop self-control in the realm of sexuality. I'm looking forward to interacting with you guys and gals in the forums.

    I'm going to approach this "Reebot" with some spirituality. Here's a Bible verse that's sort of going to be my mantra during this time: "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body." -1 Corinthians 6:18

    Hi @SlimGuy89
    Glad you are here. And very welcome to join us in our journey to a healthy, fulfilling life without any self harming habits. And... porn is harming right?

    It's a safe place here. We all are in the same boat, so there is no single space for judgement here.
    Maybe it's a good idea to keep a journal. Sharing your struggles, thoughts and feelings may help you to understand the underlying issues.

    Keep coming back and get the most effort out of nofap!
    You don't need to do it alone!

    I wish you lots of luck!

    Hey @SlimGuy89 ,

    Welcome to NoFap! You are in the right place. My experience here is that I needed to learn the program and also get involved with the community.

    The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free from this link https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

    Then, watch this video:



    It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation.

    The video explains it better than I can.

    Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much.

    Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate.

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

    L

    Glad you are here :)

    Those feelings of "shame and loathing" are definitely alleviated via abstinence. Keep trying!
    p.s. Thank you for the Bible verse.
