Hello everyone!
I'm another newbie here  :D I'm 21.
I was always thinking that porn wasn't a problem in my life, but recently I though that it is.

I had a girlfriend for about 3 years, it was all fine but then I moved to another country to study in uni, so I left her.
It is almost 2 years since I'm away from my home, sometimes I was coming back and was having great sex with my EX. But sometimes I had problems having sex with another girl, but that might be because she wasn't so sexy/pretty as my ex. Being close to her was so much different as 3 years with one and my FIRST partner (my ex) is a long period. At some point I think the porn is the reason, but not like 100%.

The reason I think I have problems with porn as it affects my productivity, I become very lazy from day to day and I haven't had sex for a long time. (there're many other reasons, but on this forum I will eliminate the porn addiction one!)

There's one more thing I want to tell. Few weeks ago I've caught a stomach bug or something, I had horrible, unbearable pain in my stomach for a week, at that time I couldn't even eat properly and sleep because of the pain. 2 hours of sleep a day, that's all I could get. And I'm not even talking about fapping or watching porn. I ended up in hospital and had to take codeine to release the pain.
After that week I had a rehab week.
So, why I'm telling you about this? After 2 weeks without porn I wasn't even thinking about it really, until I started it again, because I was bored.
One more interesting thing, I had another addiction, whole my life I was bitting my nails (I think it's on the same level as porn addiction/alcohol or drugs) But I just said NO after the illness period and I quited. It was so easy. And now I'm thinking that it was the right moment to quit watching porn and fapping too. But whatever, I still think it's possible, but it just could be easier haha  ;D ;D

My case ain't that bad, when I'm busy or somewhere away, traveling I can easily live without fapping or thinking about it a long time.
As I'm in a different country now, studying most of the time, I spend a lot of time at home.
At this point, I would say I'm doing it 1-2 times in 3 days. Or have a 2 day break and then do it once. Nothing critical but still I think I should stop doing this.

Besides all this, I've started eating only healthy food, mostly on Paleo diet. No fizzy drinks, sugar, candies, fast food.

With all these changes that happened to me lately, I believe it's the right time to quit fapping as well and finally find a gf.

For now, my plan is:

Completely stop watching porn.
Stop fapping. (in case of emergency boner do it once a week WITHOUT porn)
When feeling extremely horny go for a run.

By now that's it. I would be happy to hear any advice!

advice you ask?

OK, think about what PMO is doing to u at the moment.

Now to help you do this, read about the effects PMO has on your brain/nervous system/social life etc. on the link below:

http://yourbrainonporn.com/understanding_porn_addiction

Or read up on other sites, you can search PMO and "No Fap" and the effect it has on your brain on your favorite search engine if you like.

You will learn a lot.

Then, think about what positive effects will happen when you stop PMO completely. If these benefits of quitting PMO are important to you then you will make it through I think.

Check my thread it might help:

Good luck!

There's no magic formula. Keep on going and resist temptation, it is going to get better!!

As regards to masturbating once a week, try to do it in a pose in which you would normally have sex

Thanks guys for the replies. Morning anxiety has passed, it's all fine now!
I've decided not to MO at all too.

It's quite an intense time for me, the end of term at uni! So much stress. Anyways, I'm going to go through this!

2 weeks without PMO.
I became much more confident and especially in communicating with girls.
Yesterday after some of these conversations and later on after drinking wine I was so horny and today as well. Weather outside is so great, girls in shorts and skirts :eek: :eek:
All in all, feeling great, better than I used to feel.
Roll on week 3  8)
