I'm a 53 year old newbie! Not sure if I'm addicted or just in denial. I watch too much porn, about 8-10 hours per week. Would like to quit. My situation may be a bit different from many on this site. I don't think porn or fapping has affected my life that much. My wife is older than I am and was never really a sexual person. I turned to porn and fapping, but I now want to stop. I know it's wrong and it's certainly not pleasing to God. Looking forward to the support of others in this group.
Way to go, glad you're here. I think that whatever the problem is, porn is not the answer. It's the problem and it creates more problems. After experimenting with my situation, I have realized that I am addicted. Rather than allowing myself to comprehend that truth, I have been 'protecting' myself from it. When I do that, little and sometimes even nothing gets done to correct the problem. It's like protecting an errant child. As a result he just keeps getting worse. Addiction is not catastrophic. Life wasn't going well, I turned to PMO, it built up certain neural reward circuits. So now it's time to work out of that, one day at a time. No PMO is fantastic. It's freedom, clear, alive, potential, motivating, expanding, alive, new, fresh, and even superhuman. It's tough to beat the urges, especially in the early phases, but worth every bit of effort you can put into it. Anybody can fap, even monkeys fap. Few are those who can abstain.
