    My name is Jonny, I am 16, and this is my story.

    You could say I was basically born for porn. Since I was 7 years old I was entertaining violent fantasies. I had been getting random erections since I was 4. When I was 12 I figured out that thinking about [NSFW]naked women[/NSFW] gave me erections. I then got an insatiable curiosity about what female parts looked like. I looked at a sex ed book I found, but it was not detailed enough. So I searched the internet for [NSFW]"naked women"[/NSFW]. I found such a website (to the genuine surprise of my young mind), and opened it. I was SO SHOCKED I immediately closed it down. Then (up to this point it could be considered innocent curiosity), I went back. That was my big mistake. I couldn't stop. I learned boatloads of stuff about sex and learned how to masturbate. I Med to P till I realized that I might get caught and lessened my internet activity. For four years I secretly Med almost every day, till I became a Christian. Everything changed. I thought He wanted me to tell my mom (my family was split up, so my dad was not available). I felt terrible about it. I even started walking to the living room with my head spinning with a confession on my lips, then I stopped. I felt terrible and I was in a dark hole of shame. My relationship with God deteriorated a lot. I eventually told myself that "telling her would be too hard for her". I was genuinely scared cops would bust in and put me in jail because I lied that I was 18 years old and it's illegal for a twelve-year-old to have porn. I didn't want that to happen. So I tried to quit many, many times. I once got three weeks in before relapsing. Finally, I found NoFap! I did not feel guilt anymore now that someone else knew of my predicament and I was seriously trying to quit. I still have never told my mom. This is my story, but it's still being written. Thank you for your time.

    I'm still not sure if I should tell my mom. Next to lying about my internet habits I have caused physical damage to her computer from viruses I picked up surfing P. I feel that I need to apologize for all I did, but I'm too afraid to tell her.

    in all honesty i wouldnt tell her unless she asked, BUT with that being said i highly doubt she would. Most parents know that their kids watch P so i wouldn't be surprised if she already knew. Not to mention thats kinda awkward "hey mom yah i was watching P on your computer and thats why you have viruses". BUT then again i am 15 and dont have all the "wisdom" people of older ages do, so just do what you thinks best ;).

    in some religions they have a believe that when somebody tells a truth that is very difficult to tell, sometimes a miracle happens. you deserve one, man - that was very brave! what was your mom's reaction?

    My mom's reaction was frankly, almost disappointing. :p There was really no reaction. Since my mom works at night and she has to sleep in the day I decided to leave her a note. She acted like she hadn't read it until I asked her, and then she said, "What am I supposed to say?" hahahaha
    It's not like my mom doesn't care though. It's mostly my dad and brother that are keeping me accountable and making sure I don't mess up. My brother had also had the same problem I discovered. He got caught in the act though. O_O I can't even imagine how that went down. lol
     
  14. Just ask her forgiveness for disappointing her and tell her you need her support to overcome this. Tell her that you need her understanding, support, and love. Tell her your trying to change and make things right. She is probably very hurt at the effect this has had on your family. Consider a family meeting with you pastor.

    @ mirror man: great! you did it and didn't have a bad experience with it. i think you mom's reaction quite good; after all, you have the sense that she cares.
    @prodicalson: i think that is completely presumptious of you. you don't know this woman at all. ask most women and they assume that all men masturbate, whether they want to know more about this or not.
    my guess would be that she is very proud and moved that her son trusts her with something like that. she doesn't want to be dramatic about it. therefore i think it would be completely out of place for mirrorman to encroach on her to be more dramatic by inundating her with more information or requests for meetings or interaction. - i would trust that she will find her own way to support him...

  16. Perhaps you are correct. I would tell mirror man to move forward with his gut. Hecknows his mom.

    Personally, I think things are going great. The course I'm on at http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/ is really awesome and has been helping me a lot. I know my mom, bro and dad are there if I need anything and my dad and brother are actively keeping me accountable; I think I've taken all the steps I need to put me on the right track with PMO and my relationship with God. Idk, I'm still in the easy part of quitting though and still hyped up from my big reveal but I'm just feeling awesome. I don't know if I've ever been this good. As painful as it can be to reveal all your inner sins and shortcomings it's so awesome to just feel like you've done everything you need to. I feel like there's a mini sun inside me, shining away. I could possibly be high on all the molasses cookies I ate, I don't know. xD
     
  18. I think its great you have your dad and brother. Keep going strong
