Hi, I'm a 19 year old male from the UK, currently at uni, I've been using porn since I was 12.
In the summer of 2019 (age 16) I learned about nofap, and I thought it would be worth trying for its benefits. I managed it for a few weeks but fell back into a relapse. This cycle has pretty much continued up to now. At first I didn't think I was an addict but over time I have come to realise that I am. I have tried every approach I have come across: using trackers, avoiding trackers, blocking websites, easypeasymethod, and so on.
I have never had a girlfriend or experienced anything sexual with another person, but I'm not feeling too bad about that; I don't mind taking my time. I'm only a bit disappointed that I've missed out on something in my teenage years. I do think that having a porn addiction has hindered my social skills, but I have got a lot better over the last few years. I'm hoping that recovery will help me get rid of my remaining social anxiety.
The one thing I have never done is spoke about my difficulties with anyone. I'm hoping that using this forum to message others will provide me with the drive I need to end this once and for all. I think I will spend some time re-reading easypeasymethod as it does seem like a valuable document worth reading again.
I'd love to know how I can best use this forum to finally end my addiction, what worked for you? I'd also love to know if you have any maybe unconventional / little talked about techniques or approaches? I think having a new perspective would really help me right now.
I'm gonna try to update this every day with progress, and hopefully join in some discussion!
I started just looking at women online over the summer in 2015, but over the years I have developed a fetish for very large breasts. This has no doubt been caused by porn, so I'm hoping it will disappear, or at the very least subside as I recover.
