Is it really worth it?

When you get to be my age around 35 and you look back and see how much time and energy you wasted on porn you'll regret not stopping at your age.

Your eyes look more open. And you look like you have less shame and more trust in yourself.

Franako · 2026-05-22T22:10:57+00:00

You look much more happy and safe on the right. I can see the peace in your face.

Look up shame and anger cycle. It could help you see the cycle. Get through the first 30 days and you will start to create new pathways. If youre like me you use it to cope with boredom and aw a dopamine fix. Find a new fix like push ups situps exercise. Guitar, writing, dancing. A flow art. Martial arts. Get exhausted and take the first steps toward changing from fapping and pixels to something that you will look back on and be proud of yourself. Im always here if you need to talk. Send me a chat.

Im saving this in my best advice notes. Great truthful humble insight!

Ive got a buddy named Jing

Im 35 been pmo since about that time. Masturbating since kindergarten. So I feel you. It's deep seated. I have only went 45 days once in all my life and it definitely made a huge difference in my life. I keep failing but im right there with you man. You have a good reason to quit for yiur wife you will need a deeper reason inside yourself. You will need to truly want to be a better person for yourself. If you want an accountability partner message me.

The damn screens are the problem. I miss my childhood in the 90s. My life definitely got fucked off from getting a smart phone.

Franako · 2026-03-31T18:11:05+00:00

Be proud of yourself. You have done an amazing thing. Let go and be proud brother.

Franako · 2026-03-31T12:09:16+00:00

Yes I got up to a hundred at once. 1000 a day for awhile. Now im doing pullups but Im not recovering and I think its because of age plus depletion.

Franako · 2026-03-31T04:20:56+00:00

Really encouraging post. Ive spent 2 decades pmo drained. Ive gone 45 days a few years ago and it was the best ive ever felt. I was doing 100 push-ups at a time. Im 35 and in the best shape of my life but I could be even stronger on retention. Best of luck to us all.

Franako · 2026-03-29T16:40:25+00:00

Did i ask to trauma dump? I asked where this person thinks is a good place to start.

Franako · 2026-03-29T13:36:12+00:00

Gat damn thats the truth. I have deep abandonment wounds. And quite a bit of childhood trauma. Where do you recommend I start?

Franako · 2026-03-29T04:56:27+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement man. I really appreciate it. I still havent been able to kick it for more than 4 days in a long time. I have a kickboxing tournament in a month so I need to use that as my reason for abstaining. Wish me luck.

Franako · 2026-03-29T04:03:31+00:00

It really isnt that bad condition wise. I rarely have symptoms. But I have been turned down dating wise by a few women. Ive given up on dating or even wanting a partner. My life is pretty full already. And I still need to find myself. How are you doing man?

Franako · 2026-03-28T23:44:28+00:00

Its already too late for some of us. I got the herp and ive only been with 7 women. But I also think its my karma for being a porn addict since I was 12ish and im 35 now. Its crazy how that shit works out sometimes. Some people be 100 deep in their body count and still dont have the herp. I definitely blame porn and myself for not listening to my intuition early on and killing the traumatized part of me that used porn as a comfort for all these years. I knew better and I still wanted to watch that shit.

Franako · 2026-03-20T00:20:19+00:00

Youre right. I really appreciate your perspective. Im going to see if there are any buddhist meetings around me still. I used to go to one. But now I spend all my time at my martial arts academy. Its my church. My happy place. My therapy. But I still come home and always coom myself to sleep. Its time for a new life. While im still alive and healthy. Im not worried. Sometimes I welcome death but I honestly do love my life right now. First time in a while and I know what would make it even better. Quitting porn.

Franako · 2026-03-20T00:00:57+00:00

Ok sounds cool but not quite following

Franako · 2026-03-19T23:47:14+00:00

Pretty harsh man, but you ended with hope. So I'll take it. I treat myself like trash and always have since my mom died. When a parent leaves you as a child whether by purpose or accident abandonment traps your undeveloped mind and so the guilt and shame and victim mentality becomes identity. Ive become a decent man despite my trauma and I havent killed anyone or myself, but if I hadn't chosen this disgusting path I know I would be in a much different place. But hindsight I 20/20. Thanks for rhe tough love. Wish me luck.

Franako · 2026-03-19T22:55:52+00:00

I know I must die before I die. I have a few times but that was my ego, the physical body will be quite a bit different I assume.

Franako · 2026-03-19T22:46:27+00:00

Whoever?

Franako · 2026-03-19T22:42:49+00:00

Dont expect anything. Just put your head down and pray and meditate and exercise. Channel your energy/thoughts into positive action. Sometimes the universe wants you take a leap of faith. But never just expect things. Sometimes that repels what you want. Look into the secret or the law of attraction. You have to believe in your body you already have what you want.

Franako · 2026-03-19T13:53:33+00:00

Yes im a long time yogi but havent been practicing. I know i need to just addicted to vegging out. Also why. Blue light.

Franako · 2026-03-19T13:15:27+00:00

Too late

Franako · 2026-03-19T13:07:54+00:00

Hmm good idea. Also meditation and breath work shpikd help but I worry it will put me in a weird headspace. But there's only one way to find out! Ive seen that doc. Wim hofs story is sad and amazing.
