Hi all,
My first post here!
Now 16 days without porn, planning to keep a journal of my no P trajectory.
A bit about myself: I am a 30 year old guy, as most of the forum members here I have been jacking off to porn since I was about 13.
Ever since, my P taste gradually shifted from softcore lesbians to quite extreme hardcore scenes, which I often regretted having watched just 2 seconds after O. Never got into shemale and gay porn though.
I have been wanking on P on average 6 times a week, sometimes up to 3 times a day. Average session would be about 30 minutes on porn tubes, switching between all kinds of kinky stuff.
Although there were some episodes of porn-induced ED, in general I dont have problems keeping it up, it is just that my libido is unbelievable low with real women. Next to that, my social skills leave much to desire and always feel like under a layer of depression and unhappiness.
I have a good job, I am healthy, not a chick magnet but also not a complete freak, still feeling f'ed up most of the time. I saw Gary Wilson's TedTalk and was quite struck by his explanation about how an overkill of dopamine numbs your pleasure response to normal, daily joys. So maybe, curting off that unending artificial dopamine supply might be key to regaining some joy in the small pleasures of life. That is my main motivation.
As I said: 16 days without P now. 2 times M, one time witg a real woman. It has been difficult at times not to watch. What is more annoying though, is that I feel my social anxiety is only increasing. Any of you recognises that?
