Should I tell my parents?

Tough to say whether your parents can understand your issue or not. are they very open minded? They might try to block you from doing it, or they might shame you for it and that's going to do some emotional harm that you'll pay for later on in life.

What is your PMO pattern? Feelings of loneliness, boredom? Do you have activities outside the house? Physical activities would be ideal. You may want to also sit with the feelings of loneliness and try to understand why you feel that way.

Here's a way to deal with difficult emotions:

That really depends on how comfortable you feel with telling them. If you feel like you have a chance in hell of being able to tell them and having a good outcome, then please do. I think you might be surprised as to how understanding they are. I don't know for sure, but I'm going to assume that even though you might not like to think about it, they probably both currently masturbate or they have in the past. Now whether they've watched porn or not is a gamble, that could go either way.

If you do choose to tell them, you might consider telling them about some of what porn addiction really entails, because chances are fairly good that if you simply tell them 'porn addiction', they might not really grasp what that means. If you choose to go that route, you have to be honest with them and explain what it really is. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed to tell them because it's really not your fault, porn addiction is really kind of a trap you fall into.

With that being said, I wouldn't tell them about NoFap in particular. There is a chance that they might bar you from it, which wouldn't be a good thing for you.

Now, I would expect that if you do tell them, expect that they might put restrictions in place on what you can do, and monitor you more closely. Don't be afraid of that though, it would only be helping you. Porn addiction is a damn hard thing to break, and it takes holding yourself accountable, and I think if your parents are truly doing what is right for you, they will help you do that.

So, the short version is, if you can do it, yes please do it! You might find that it could do you so much good.

Stay strong, and fight on! Feel free to PM me anytime. I'm always open to discussion.

 

It's your choice. If your fine doing it and are comfortable telling them, you can do it. If you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to tell them.
