Introduction

Hello.

I've been on here before, and have had a long struggle with porn and masturbation. I started in my teens and became addicted to it without fully realizing how big the issue was.

The fact that it became a serious problem clicked back in 2016, but I kept going at it. I'd try to stop but never made it past 30 days without PMO. I lost sensitivity, developed anorgasmia, and the act of doing it just became mechanical.
At the beginning of June 2019, I experienced by first instance of ED. I tried masturbating the next few days semi-hard to try to force it but it didn't work. I had a bruise on the side of it, and a bruise near the base, both in spots where I had some swelling a few weeks prior, after some rough masturbation. It felt sore for a while but the soreness eventually stopped and was then replaced by the bruises. Near the end of the month. I finally deleted all of my porn. It was the realization that all of the years of masturbation and friction caused so much damage to my penis that it was numb to any pleasurable sensations made me realize it had to stop. I deleted it all from my computer, and from a hard drive that was dedicated to it. I felt proud of myself.

Even closer to the end of the month, I noticed a curve on my penis where one of the bruises was, accompanied by pain. I masturbated without porn, and did so again a few more times, hoping it'd go away; the curve is still there. The last time I MO'd was on the 5th of this month.
It's been hard stopping for this long, but I'm dedicated to stopping. Today however, I noticed an upward curve at the base of the penis where the other bruise was.

I've been looking it up online and it looks like the constant masturbation over the years resulted in me getting something known as Peyronie's Disease.

I decided to rejoin the forum to hopefully find out more about this, get some support, and warn others to stop this before you screw yourself up for life.
