Hello everyone! (24yo student in a relationship)

Hello everyone,

I have been watching porn almost every day since I was a teenager but in the last months it got much worse. Although I should prepare for exams, I am masturbating for several hours each day now. I have tried to quit before (without being a member of the NoFap forum), but it didn't work out.

Despite my porn addiction, I am in a relationship with a girl since 5 years. Although I still find her very attractive, I seldom have an orgasm during sex. (The proper medical term for that seems to be "delayed ejaculation".) She has probably already suspected that this is because I watch too much porn, but she never asked me about my porn consumption. When I tried to talk with her about my problems a few weeks ago, she was not very shocked but didn't want to talk about it in detail.

I think the main reason why my addiction to porn got worse is that I moved to another city a few months ago to enrol in a programme that is much more challenging than what I am used to. I only see my girlfriend about one week per month now. Unfortunately, I have not found good friends in the new city yet. Watching porn and masturbating seem to have become some kind of coping mechanism in this situation.

Because I am afraid that porn and masturbation will have a negative impact on my relationship and my life in general, I want to quit porn (forever) and masturbation (for at least 90 days). I will start a journal and hope that you guys can help me to achieve my goals!
