    This is my first time doing/using this website.
    I am just going to make a quick entry on my issues and struggles so far. I am only 17 but I have been masturbating since I was 14. When I discovered this exercise I would only do it at max once a day. But since about 2015 I would at least masturbate 2 times a day, and it was only to pornography. But I had recently started to smoke a lot of weed and that does nothing but encourage me back into this circle of masturbation. It was only a few months ago I realised what I was doing and what it has caused me to do. Up until about the start of this month I have tried to cut down on masturbating. I find it hard because it's one of the only things I look forward to. But after going from at least twice a day masturbation to 0 I am really struggling. I have suffered to temptation 3 times already these last 2 weeks. It is really such a disgusting habit that I can't stop thinking about it sometimes but I really can't help it. Whenever I see or even think of an attractive woman my mind will automatically think about something sexual towards this thought. I've also heard that watching porn will cause erectile dysfunction, and I know that it has caused me to have social anxiety whenever I leave the house. (Should mention I am not usually a shy, quiet person).
    So I know that was probably a mix of sentences there no real structure to it but I hope you understand me.
    If anyone has any advice or me or is has gone down a similar path to me, I would be very happy to discuss it further.

    Congrats on starting so young. Don't be too hard on yourself. Take one day at a time. Don't fight the urges, rather deal with them by distracting yourself. All the best!

    Dude, you have answered all of your own questions. You know what you want to achieve, which is a better version of yourself. Something you should be doing, if you are not, is getting fit and strong. This has been the biggest boost to my own self-esteem and is providing me the strength I need for my own difficult journey. You are only 17, so you can be anything you want to be!
