Tomorrow will be the 150th day I have spent on this earth without watching porn. It is the longest streak I’ve ever had and I’m feeling quite proud of myself. But I couldn’t have done it without you guys at r/pornfree and my girlfriend who has been extremely supportive this entire time. Some things I have noticed since I’ve stopped:
- I get stimulated by just looking at my gf which I seldom felt when I was under the influence of porn.
- I feel more energetic to do more fulfilling things in life like learning about new academic fields (philosophy, mathematics, etc).
- I don’t feel the urge to masturbate every day like I used to when under the influence of porn. There have been days when I have nary a thought of sexual pleasure.
- I actually look forward to sex with my gf and the sexual fetishes I had learned from porn are slowly fading away. I am okay having sex on my own terms rather than trying to imitate porn.
- I have learned much better self-control. Yes, there have been a few times when I almost gave in, but I quickly realized that my brain is trying to fool me into enjoying short-term pleasure. I like how giving up porn has given me long-term pleasure these past few months.
Well, that’s about it. Once again, thanks so much for your love and support here at r/pornfree. Hope to continue the battle with each and every one of you! 🙂
