Hopefully this helps men like me who didn’t know they had a problem until later in life. I started PMO when I was 13 and thought it was normal. My dad even bought me a P mag and I would watch P on the internet and “fuzzy” channels, ha. I didn’t think I had an issue for years because I PMO’d maybe 2-3 times a week.
But i figured out 4 years ago that I did have an issue because I COULDN’T stop PMO even when I wanted to. I felt like a bum because I was 30+ yo and touching myself, even when I had a gf. Sometimes I would just look at P and not even be horny. I struggled to stop for these past 4 years trying everything from trackers, writing down goals, staying busy, diff women, talking to other guys about stopping, meditation, anything.
Unfortunately, this summer I found Porn-like material (soft core) on my 8 yo son’s tablet. I talked to him about it and I felt crushed when he told me how he couldn’t help looking at it or get it out of his head. I told him that P wasn’t a healthy way to deal with sexual feelings/curiosities and that meeting girls in person is the best way to experience this part of life and I’m here to help him also. He understood and I now monitor his electronics (which I rarely let him use now) very closely.
Anyway, this incident gave me the strength and motivation I needed to finally stop PM (still O with a woman) for good. I didn’t want to be a hypocrite with my son and I just wanted to get rid of that P and M which made me feel terrible.
I feel so good now and in control and the thought of PM seems so foreign to me. All the benefits we hear about are true. So I’m excited to keep going forever. Anyone reading this, you can do it. I thought it was inevitable that I would PMO for the rest of my life, but I finally stopped for longer and with more conviction than I ever have.
Just watch out for triggers like loneliness, boredom, and fatigue. And if you have a partner be real with them. I told my lady I can’t watch P or anything close to that and she helps me out. They’ll be proud of you and respect you more.
Have a great life!
