At first, it just was curious and then it turned harder

Hey Everyone!

My name is Michael, I'm 27. I had a sexual disorder since I was 9, because one of my cousins took advantage of me. At first, I didn't  know anything about sex, being raped was a horrible experience because, I didn't know what to do, I grew up that I had to allow him to do whatever he wants. And then, I started to thought to have sex with a lot of people was a natural thing. I learned how to masturbate myself even when I couldn't ejaculate. When I was on elementary school others guys always tried to talk about sex and touch your butt joking. In the high school it was the same thing. I had no direction, some guys in the school wanted to have something with me and I didn't feel it was a good or bad thing. I had sex in the classroom two times. It was a hard time without sexual orientation, I never told my parents or siblings about this. My family was going through serious problems and I didn't have confidence to tell them the true of my past life.
One day, in 2000, I discovered that my older brother had gay porn on our computer. He always used the computer and one day I wanted to search all the .jpg files, and then I saw a lot of naked guys. And I was shocked, I just watched all those pictures and I didn't know what to do.
I started deleting all those pictures, until one day he told me: I know you were deleting my files. It's my life and you don't care.
I couldn't tell anyone about I was going through, I was living day by day thinking that jerking off it was a good thing. I did it everyday...
In 2002 I stared attending one church, and most of things in my life started to change. My cousin wanted to have sex with me, but I didn't let him. I didn't wanted to have sex. In 2003 I become a religious person. I knew that I had to stop masturbating, but I couldn't do it. I had the opportunity to watch unintentionally porn in the TV cable and in some situations when I saw something related with sex like a explicit music video or movie scene I always wanted to go to the bath and masturbate.
In 2005, I learned that masturbating its a addiction, and I decided to avoid it and years passed by. In 2010 I wanted to know how was a virgin girl looks like and this was my first time when I searched Google for porn... and then I couldn't stop. I searched a lot of porn videos for topics, length, etc.
Being a religious guy, knowing that I was too wrong. I tried to avoid all those bad things but it wasn't successful. Years later, in 2013 when I was bored I found Omegle, at first I just wanted to meet people. But then I saw a lot of guys showing their bodies and showing their private parts, I couldn't fight with that. And the last year, I had a hard time doing sex cam with random people jerking off.
Since this January I made a decision, to became a religious guy again, but a guy who makes big efforts to be clean and avoid situations that could take me to pornography. Since I become a religious I didn't have sex anymore. But masturbation and porn were a big trouble in my life.
I have to admit that when you are into that, you are not happy, my health wasn't good, I avoid to make good relationships with good people, I lost the opportunity to be with an amazing girl. Porn always took me to the dark side, remembering all the bad things I passed when I was a child. From the bottom of my heart I don't want to have sex with any guy. I'd like to recover someday and be able to have a family.
I know I have to do so many things to heal my mind and my heart. I know God and my efforts can help me to change and to say in this life: It was possible.
Actually I made a commitment to avoid masturbating and watching porn since 2015. I'm doing my best. But I want it last forever...
If you have advices or successful experiences I'd like you to share with me.

Welcome Michael.  If you want support in quitting porn and masturbation, you've come to the right place.  First, I'd like to suggest you visit yourbrainonporn.com; watch all of the videos - they explain a lot of stuff.

Then, it really just comes down to making a firm commitment.  At first, it's difficult because addiction implies that cravings and possibly other withdrawal symptoms will come when you stop; so you can expect some of that.  The good news is that it gets easier with time.  I like to think of it like a rocket leaving the Earth's atmosphere.  At first, it requires a lot of energy to counteract the powerful gravitational forces attempting to pull it back down.  But the farther away it gets, the weaker the pull, until there is no perceptible pull at all. 

You are lucky to have found this forum.  There is a lot of information and support available here.  Keep coming back.

Thank you for writing me Sender. I feel I can recover someday of all these bad things and have a new life. I need true histories to get motivated to change.

I highly recommend sex addicts anonymous or other similar 12 step programs.  Attending SAA meetings regularily has helped tremendously in my own sexual addiction.  The first meeting is the hardest one to attend, but the openness and support from others who also suffer from the same disease of addiction is truly inspirational.  Go to SAA.org and search for meetings in your area.

many years of spiritual practice and religious study proved to me that religious belies, guilt, judging yourself and fighting yourself , and fighting your feeling, i mean suppressing them , I believe no prophet and saint or even gods can get you out of your addiction , you are the only one who can help yourself , so stop confronting porn with religion and defeat it using science! believe me it is thousand times more defective! porn fighters are sacred! anti porn education is sacred!
