I started fapping around age nine. I found some hustler magazines in an abandoned warehouse. My friend and I divided them and each took some home. By age 12 I was skipping school to PMO. This progressed into three or four times a day. Eventually, this escalated to internet porn. I am 44 now and looking back, my addiction to Porn has not only progressed into areas I never would have thought I would have looked at, It has also ruined relationships in my life and made it difficult to not objectify woman. The reason I decided to join the nofap community is because I am sick and tired of allowing porn to dictate my life. I no longer want to live a double life with dirty little secrets that only create division. I want to learn how to authentically love others without objectifying them and feel that rebooting will give me that opportunity. Most of all, I want to be authentic to myself. I want to learn how to respect my body and allow myself the dignity that I deserve.
