    Hello to everyone. My name is Claudio, i'm italian and i'm 19 years old. I want to be a part of this community because i think that this will gonna help me to overcome this very problematic addiction. When i jerk off i always feel myself bad: phisically and mentally. Furthermore i feel a strong sense of blame, because i don't want to jerk off but the urge is so strong that i always fail to listen myself. I've tried to stop many times before but i've lasted only 11 days. Now i'm very committed and i will try to do whatever it takes to stop for an entire month, and i hope that this community will help me.

  3. Hi Claudio! I'm a vegan as well. :)

    Welcome to the website! I recommend reading our article about Porn Addiction so you will understand what is going on in your brain. Wanting, but not liking, porn is a very common symptom of porn addiction and is caused by your prefrontal cortex (seat of your reason, will and decision making abilitied) getting drowned out by signals from your reward system (seat of motivation, emotions, and wanting) which thinks that porn is a really good thing and you can never have to much. Obviously you know rationally porn is bad for you, but your reward system hasn't gotten that message.

    Once you've read how porn affects your brain, you can learn how you can reverse these porn-induced changes on our Rebooting page. You'll also find some great tips on the best ways to reboot.

    I wish you the best, Claudio! You can do this! If you have any questions about anything, please contact me through the PM.
