Hey Everyone

Hey my name is Daniel and I've been watching porn since I was around ten years old when my oldest brother decided to show me a porn video. I watched the beautiful girls as they took their clothes off to some erotic music and I was hooked, instantly popping a boner. I remember the feeling that I had to find where this video was. Luckily for me I thought, my brother forgot to hide it. I remember sneaking in to watch this video and feeling a rush of heat come over me as I would watch this video. Anyways since then I have found it very difficult to resist the temptation to watch porn when I had the chance, and for the past 10 years I have had a laptop making it up to me alone, to decide if I should watch porn.
I learned about this website after I was looking to see if masturbation to porn was bad for the body and what a surprise, I found this site. I did not believe people where abstaining from something that can make you feel so great and is so accessible. I believed porn had no real negative effects but after reading the changes in the people who abstained from porn, it is evident that porn has some negative effects.
I saw the 90 day challenge and started with the intent to see how hard it was and relapsed after 8 days. Although it was only 8 days. 8 days was probably one of the longest streaks abstaining from porn for most of my adult life. I continued to visit the NoFap forum and viewed posts that I thought would inform me of ways to prolong abstaining from porn. I gave it a couple of more tries and I am on the longest streak I have probably ever been on in around 10 years. It was been 25 days and I am proud of this streak. I have had temptations tonight but I am trying to be strong and decided to write this introduction to help me take my mind off relapsing and make a contribution to this fantastic website which is extremely important to me and im sure all of you on here. Id like to say thank you to all of you for being brave enough to share your experiences and try to become better people. You are all already heroes. Thank you, Daniel

 

Thank you very much IGY. Just read that. Luckily I have been doing meditation, excercise, and just started the cold showers. This has helped me keep a clear mind and feel good. What have you done to deal with urges?
