I have been struggling with PMO for the last 18 years (now I am 31)…it has taken the best of my life as a teenager and youth… sometimes I wonder life would have been so different if I would have never discovered this shitty thing…
I would have spend more time studying, developing my hobbies, exploring new places, building healthy relationships with my family and friends… somehow PMO has downgraded my quality of life…i suck at my job now because my intelligence is below average…I used to play the guitar but I have given up on it…i don’t have many friends…i keep away from women because i can’t stop looking at them as sex objects…I no more see myself a successful man… I am so used to faliures now that even as I begin something new I know I am bound to fail (my relapses proves this)…I suffer a very poor self-image…is there anyone who feels the same?
This is more relatable to long timer fapper I suppose. Mine is close to that. With bad degree, cant perform in career life, with this numbers of years I should have a huge experience and get the respect as my age and education should propose, but I don’t have all that… mostly because of myself, which PMO has a tremendously good aiding role to make it more complicated and ugly…
I dont think Fappers in college or younger would have the same experience. Might be close but not in in the extension of the implications. Cause this is about years,so many changes happening each day and month, but fappers usually dont and cant. Thats what makes the difference.
Might not be true for all but esp young fappers who got a really stubborn head and waste away all that precious potential to useless and stupid habit for years. Then when he wakes up after those years it would be painful… I dont know the next phase maybe acceptance but I dont have that experience yet
This is so relatable. I’m only 15 and I was introduced to pmo at the age of 12 when I was in year 7. I was just casually walking to class with my friend and the person in front of us suddenly just stopped and started talking to us about different masturbation techniques, of course I didn’t know what he was talking about but when I got home I was curious and wanted to know what masturbation was and I tried it and that day was the last day of my life (obviously I’m still alive I’m referring to me living a good life). And I also think back to this day and it reminds me of the butterfly effect, if I had walked to class a little slower or a little quicker or that person talked to someone else first I wouldn’t of found out about pmo and my life would be better. But it’s just the past now, nothing I can do about it. You just have to keep moving forward, good luck guys
Hadn’t I done that, I would’ve been abroad, pursuing my career. I would’ve had friends and I would’ve had girlfriends tbh. I would’ve been more charismatic, tactful, and calm in front of the others and I would’ve been greater and more acknowledged.
I wish there is a time machine, but it is not possible. So, whatever.
@WoundedWarrior, definitely agree with you. I’m in the same boat.
I wish I had never discovered porn. PMO is such a self-destructive habit.
We have gone through this shit…I hope the kids are saved from this…truly in this hypersexualized atmosphere it’s easy for whole generation to be swayed…we need to create awareness…and the best starting point is our folks…
Young friend…I am happy that you are taking measures to keep away from this shit…it’s self-destructive…you would end up paying a heavy price in the end for a few fleeting moments of pleasure…try to nip this shit at the bud before it grows to be a monster…and remember you are not alone…there are many guys of your age who feel the same as you do…talk it out…and fight it out together…
We couldn’t do it then…but it’s never too late… though we are facing setbacks yet within ourselves we know that we deserve better…we can make the best of what we have now…let’s fight it out together…
I swear…I keep going back to the moment when I first masturbated…and keep thinking why did I have to do it…even as I was doing it I remember a voice within me was restraining me from doing it…I knew something is wrong about this act…but my instincts took over and the rest is history…I should have listened to that little voice within me…
I am 32. I feel the same but don’t be negative that you will keep failing. I am gonna succeed and so are you. Just don’t quit. It’s worse because that means you live with this problem till the end. If you try, atleast you lived trying. Good luck!
I feel like my School and High School life would have been much better without PMO and my grades too.
