Taking matters into my own hands (literally)
Hey guys, recently I have been questioning if I truly have a porn addiction after listening to some self improvement podcasts and I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely DO!
Let me clarify my situation. As many people here could relate, I got introduced to porn at a very young age, around 9 or 10 years old. My friends at school would show me the videos and I was intrigued, around that time I started to actively masturbate and watch porn on the regular (1-2 a week). From the age of 13 I started doing it more often, when I had a free minute I would open the hub and start masturbating (2-3 times a day, every single day). From that point I have been pretty consistent with my habit, unless I was away from home for some time.
When I was 17, a video popped up on my feed showing an orgy in a swimming pool, thinking nothing of it I clicked on it and it turned out to be a trans porn video. At first it wasn’t really appealing to me, but after watching a couple of similar videos, that was my go to genre. I figured that I got bored of normal porn at some point and started watching more extreme videos. Now I am 19 (about to be 20) and want to stop this before it completely gets out of hand.
The reason being, first of all my mental and sexual health and my relationship with my very loving girlfriend. I feel like I have to overcome this problem, because I catch myself thinking about things that absolutely don’t align with my values and beliefs, plus I fear erectile disfunction.
I really hope you guys could help me become a better self and help me stop this evil addiction.
Thank you!
