I've never looked at porn and I've never whacked it, so it's definitely doable. You're a human being, not an animal unable to control his urges, so have some damn honor in yourself.

REALLY???:shocked: I would say that someone that has never masturbated is a bit unhealthy...I thought that was a sign of puberty?

Wow....

Give the guy some support. He obviously wants some useful advice and you all make a joke over it. This was the wrong forum to post this at as most people are immature and the only girls they have ever known are the girls in pornos.

It's ok i was actually expecting more joking 😉 But hey thats not stoping me.

No Joke, I just plan on using this thread as my motivation... I'm serious about this, and i don't mind laughing at myself to keep me sane. Your doubt in me is actually motivating me more, thanks.
 
Dude that's cool, I respect your desires and opening up like this. You can do it man, just keep yourself occupied and think about that girl you love whenever you're feeling weak. Self control is a God-like quality. Anyone who fully masters self control is a couple of notches above the rest.

Best of luck and congratulations on your honesty and bravery. I don't know how much support you will find here, but I will offer what I can.

I battled a pornography and sexual addiction most of my adult life. Like yourself, I was introduced to pornography at a very early age. Like you, I needed more (both in volume and intensity) and it was leading down a sure path to worse and worse actions to meet my addiction.

I have been free for 2+ years and I can tell you that it is a struggle. You took a good start by getting rid of what you had. You also need to carefully consider whether or not "clean" men's magazines (FHM, Stuff, etc) and mainstream television with sexual content are for you. Some people can use these as a socially acceptable substitution for "actual" porn, for others they are gateways that lead back down the slippery slope.

I am not going to open the door for others to trash religion, but I personally believe that you can pray to a higher power for strength and I will be praying for you.


Thank you, that is exactly what he needed to hear.
I'll be praying with you

Keep the porn, dump the virgin and go back to the nympho. You won't regret it.

FTW
:roll: It's rather pathetic to see all the rationality that goes into it. A change can be made, but it definitely won't be easy, and it'll take a while to fully recover...

I have always tried to stop watching porn.... because you know what that leads too...

Enjoyment? Happiness? Stress relief? I'm not getting the problem.

I guess I don't understand why you can believe that someone has never masturbated. I've never masturbated either. Get a woman or take a cold shower, and learn some self control.

Good luck with your what you're doing. The hardest thing in the world for a man to control is his sexual desires, but it's definitely necessary for a good relationship, so good luck.

Hey, who knows - all kinds of mental illness exist.
 
1. How? If she found out?
2. More productive? lol
3. Why?
4. You will cheat on your girlfriend anyway. Don't blame porn.
5. This is natural.
6. Welcome to the reality that is sex?
7. UUUUmmmm you are a "pervert" and you will be a "dirty old man" even though you may not show it.
8. You want confidence? Run a marathon, drink a fifth, and then watch some porn/ whack. Few people could do that.
