How I Was Able To Quit PMO 2018-2025 (4+ months celibate)
This is going to be REALLY long but if you're serious about quitting I hope my post will help you. PART 1 MY STORY I remember discovering masturbation the summer before 10th grade when I was 15 years old (2018). When that happened I remember feeling pleasure but also an underlaying feeling of guilt and shame. Even at the beginning whenever I would do PMO something just felt off about it, but regardless I would become addicted to the feeling. Jerking off just became a habit that I did everyday. It doesn't help that mainstream health says it's "normal". During this period my social life in high school declined with seemingly worse social abilities than before. I would jerk off to all sorts of crap usually anime girls or pictures/videos of women in swimsuits or underwear (softcore stuff like on social media). I never got into the hardcore stuff like most guys have. Even at this low point in my life I thought (and still think) that porn sex looks really gross and stupid. I never saw the appeal of seeing another dudes junk and watching sex. But yeah, back when I was jerking off all the time I could not talk to a girl to save my life. Masturbation killed all that drive and motivation to find a mate. When I look back I get a little disappointed because there was so many cute girls at my school haha. But it's all good no point in dwelling in the past I'm just trying to get my story out. I've done a lot of stupid stuff. I remember having a crush on my 11th grade english teacher, staring at her body, and then jerking off in the porta potty next to the classroom (I remember doing that several times). Bruh, and then I would just walk back into class like nothing even happened. In 2020 when I was 17 (and really alone), I installed Instagram and would stalk girls from my school and send them really creepy messages (I would always get ignored though or blocked immediately hahaha). I would do a LOT and I mean a LOT of gooning on Instagram and especially Tiktok to girls in bikinis and stuff (bruh I sound like such a loser but it's the truth). But in November 2022 something changed. In 2022 I decided to take No Nut November Seriously. I lasted 9 days. Then I went back to my old habits.
