Hi, I'm 44, I live in France and I have been doing PMO since I was 18. I have 2 kids, and last year I quitted their mother after a 7-year relationship. I'm in a build-up phase of my life since last year: reuniting with some of my family, reconnecting with good old friends, being a better dad to my kids. 4 years ago, I had an abstinence streak of 40 days, but I only stopped O and P, but I would still masturbate watching erotic images, which - I found out later - is the worst way of quitting PMO. I have always restrained myself to what I would call "classic" porn, never been into more "exotic" stuff. But I've been sufferring from PIED since I was 25 (when I had my very first sexual experience), and at the time I hadn't related that to my PMO consumption. In 2020, during the COVID lockdown, I was bored and stressed, and I pushed my PMO addiction to new pathetic territories: basically I would use some 3D software to create models resembling woman from my everyday life and pose them in porn scenes. I read the SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION method one month ago, and it helped me take my PMO consumption for what it really is: an addiction (I would not have figured that out or admit it by myself). And it also gave me the rational and the right mindset to overcome it. So here I am...
