-25 yr old male
-Started watching porn at 12yo, porn addict/compulsive pmo for about 10 years, would usually pmo 3 times/day.
-Social anxiety, depression, no social life, havent had sex in years.
-Longest streak is 10 days, some 3-4 days streaks here and there, always ends in a disgusting binge.
-Goal is to not watch p for 90 days. Will try not to mo either cus im afraid that will make me fall back to p again, but we will see.
-Strategies to avoid relapse is keeping busy, training, start reading books again, try to meet girls, play video games or take a walk when feeling the urge to relapse.

not sure about those medications. but PMO and sexual interest arent really related. you could have no sex drive at all but still want to look at porn.
try to go 4 days without PMO. start with that.

Yes thats true, still it could help me from relapsing if the medications took away my libido and arousal for a couple months. Idk, maybe thats just not realistic. It might also be a trap if I start feeling worse as you often do the first week/s using them, i'll definitely relapse.

Anyway today is day 1 of hopefully many more days without pmo, I feel motivated.

My experience with Paxil and this was pre-addiction to p, but I would still watch it. I got bored of p and just stopped watching it, but this was without an addiction in the first place. It's more of a dopamine issue rather than sex related. Your mind wants dopamine that's why it is going to p.

Day 5
Today has been better. Better overall mood, more energy, still some moments with anxiety and negative thoughts about myself but not nearly as much as yesterday. Now the weekend is here and I feel like I really need to watch out and dont let urges take over.

Day 11
Alot of ups and downs. Sadness, irritation, anxiety, then confidence and high energy. Havent really had any real urges yet which is strange.
