32 married man who decided enough!

I’ve decided that enough is enough with watching porn; it negatively affects my sexual life with my wife. I feel frustrated and down. Previously, I had a few half-hearted attempts to quit, but the urge was always too strong. This is my seventh day porn-free, and so far the feeling is okay.

Yesterday (the sixth day), I felt the urge to masturbate — I did so without porn, touching myself and thinking about sex — in the second half, thinking about my wife, which made me especially happy. My erection wasn’t the same as before, but the most important thing is that I didn’t feel miserable or bad after climaxing.

For now, this works for me — no porn, occasional masturbation, and gradually restoring my sexual life to normal. My wife is currently pregnant, so we have less sex anyway, which gives me a chance to fully recover and work on myself. I’ve started going to the gym, which gives me extra motivation.

I'm only afraid of a strong porn wave that I won't be able to resist, and even more, I'm afraid that nothing will drastically change in my sexual life — I want again really strong erections and to maintain attention during sex, without losing it quickly if something in the moment isn't ideal for me (something I would otherwise quickly fix by choosing another porn video or simply scrolling).
