I’m beginning today with no porn. I’m 21 and began watching porn at a very young age. I honestly can’t remember when. I never thought I had a problem until I one day realized I could no longer get an erection with just my imagination when I was like 16. That’s when I first started doing research into porn addiction and tried to stop. Let’s just say I tried probably hundreds of times and then would just completely give in after getting home from school/work. Now my problem is that as soon as I get off work, porn is just my stress reliever. I’ve gotten so desensitized to vanilla porn and I would spend hours just binge watching more hardcore and more extreme things. I’m starting today. Cold turkey. Sheer willpower. I just want to stop. One of my concerns is that I have a girlfriend and I don’t want her to know that I’ve ever been addicted to porn. I want to someone to hold me accountable and someone I can talk to about my journey, but I would be so embarrassed if she ever found out about this. Also, is it okay to have sex with my girlfriend during all of this? I noticed on sites like NoFap they even tell you to not orgasm at all. How could I possibly keep my relationship without having sex with my girlfriend. That would obviously cause some issues.
