What made you decide to quit PMO?
Curious to hear from you guys. What was the moment where you realized you actually needed to change something? For me, I kind of accidentally noticed that PMO was an issue.. I think I was around 21 or 22. Life was actually going fine -> I was studying, working, exercising, had a good relationship with my family, friends, girlfriends, all of that. But one day I was just laying in bed feeling super depressed. And I genuinely could not pinpoint why. So I decided to PMO. At that point it was something I used for everything. If I was bored, sad, happy, excited, anxious. Whatever feeling I had, I would regulate it with PMO. But what I noticed right after was that I actually felt worse than before. That is when I got the (genius) idea to google: "Is porn bad for you?" What I found was what made me decide to quit. I stumbled into the nofap community, and there I read testimonies from guys describing the exact same things I was experiencing. The dullness of life. Lack of deep motivation. Anxiety. Stress. Escalating sexual preferences. That was the first moment where I realized something might actually be wrong here. I would not say it was planned. I kind of just stumbled into it. What about you? What made you decide to start questioning PMO?

Hi Dan, your story feels familiar. That feeling that something isn’t right. About six years ago, when I was around 24 and had just graduated from college, I decided to quit watching porn. At that time, I didn’t really understand the psychology behind urges or addiction. I just knew it made me feel worse and drained my energy most of the time. I didn’t go deeper to ask the most important question: why. Over time I realized how important it is to understand the reasons behind an addiction, so you can remind yourself why you don’t want to go back. Later I was introduced to a group of people on Facebook, and over time I ended up with men like me — like you guys — who are also trying to improve themselves. It doesn’t matter if you’re 20 or 30 or any age. Quitting porn is important, and asking “why” is very important in the beginning. Even when urges hit, asking yourself why can solve a lot. Looking forward to hearing everyone else's stories.
