    The problem is, this constant porn I've been watching, it's been eating away at my life and I'm at a point where it needs to stop. I have flashes of homosexual thoughts that I wouldn't consiously have otherwise, I get sweaty around certain males, my heart is shocked at the sight of a male, yet my boner, although weakened, is prone to rise at sexy feminine figures. I'm a constant masturbator, who was addicted to regular naked female erotica who then moved up to lesbian, then furry, then etc. and I'm wondering if this site can really help find me true sexuality. Also, my pledge won't start until tomorrow.
     
  2. Welcome to the Forum Bro!

    Congratulations for your first and most important decision: you have made decision that this has to stop.
    Those homosexual thoughts in normally heterosexual males are quite common symptom of excessive use of porn, and really nothing to be worried about. Believe me, I've been there. It all goes away by completing your Reboot, and it probably doesn't take as long as you might imagine at this point.
    That sexual taste escalation you mentioned is more than common theme for many of us; I personally went from normal vanilla porn to ever more twisted things as years went by, but it all also went away just by doing full 90-day Reboot.

    Don't be afraid to ask questions or help. We're all been where you are now, and we're all here to help each other out. I can promise you that things will get better.
    May your NoFap journey be calm and serene.

    - Mike

    I know this is supposed to be approximately 3 months with no porn/erotica, but how do you keep focused with no relapse?

  4. My solution is to minimize my screen time outside work and focus on fitness and everything else on life. I try to read daily something (at the moment I'm learning investing) daily, I schedule 1 hour daily solely on fitness (running or calisthenics) and concentrate keeping my house clean and tidy. Point is to distract thoughts into anything else than porn or sex.
    In my experience it's very hard to resist urge and to me the key is to distract myself from thinking about it.
    Again... I'm not an doctor or any other type of professional counselor so take my words with a grain of salt, but distraction is my weapon-of-choice.

    I hope this is at least somewhat helpful :)

    Hello, I know it's been awhile since I last wrote, but today, I'm very concerned. I was browsing through Twitter today, and all of a sudden, I was met with this odd shirtless dude, and then my heart was struck with this odd, warm burning sensation. My stomach didn't feel sick, nor my palms sweaty though. But I'm worried it might be what I think it is, but I don't want to act on it. For the longest time, I've always stared at girls, and I'm quite worried. What does this mean?

    Normally, I stare at all kinds of women, mostly strawberry blonde or redhead, but as time went on, I think I'm bored of women now. What does this mean?

    [STATUS UPDATE] I was watching a random video, and it featured a quick clip of this shirtless dude singing "stop f++++ lying", but I didn't receive the same burning sensations as earlier today. What does this mean?

    Hi, me again, I can't completely stop. I've relasped hundreds of times. My problem is that I need a new roost, because the environment I'm in now, it's not helping me. And, I browsed through Facebook, saw a gif from Bob's Burgers with this bg character caressing himself and it made me a bit sweaty. I'm upset because tommorow is November, and I still haven't quit PMO like I wanted. My heart, I think it feels numb to real women, and I've seen plenty of porn online, both safe and the inappropriate stuff, even though I find women visually pleasing to me. It's making me wonder...

    And you want to know something else? I was with my much older male teacher, and for some reason, I kept having these creepy sexual thoughts around him that I tried to erase. But later on, when I was with a female classmate in another room, alone, these thoughts weren't as strong. In fact, they never popped up at all. Are these symptoms of my addiction? Pls reply...
