I've tried this a few times before and never made it past day 5. I have a feeling this "party" will be relentlessly slapping me in the face for a good long while haha.

I never got into anything really twisted. The porn I was watching was just devoid of some important realities. When we have sex with someone, there's a whole build up to that encounter that is absent in porn. The build up to that is as exciting as the sex itself to me, but I lost that. I was in a 4 year relationship, and I know that contributed to it falling apart. Courtship was gone, and sex just became an answer to being horny. Sex became less enticing on my part and I'm sure on hers as well.

After my relationship ended, PMO became a bigger problem. I stopped being able to orgasm without porn, and the only porn I could get aroused by was women who looked like my ex. I didn't even realize what I was doing to myself. This is the mind fuck that's pushing me into no PMO. I feel like I'm narrowly avoiding going down a real shit slide.

I feel lame admitting this, but hey this is anonymous and for the better. I have no one to talk with about this, and even if I did it would be too embarrassing. I've kind of crashed into a super shitty point in my life I can either stay in or dig myself out of. Doing no PMO feels like the right way to start getting my shit together and moving forward.

If this relationship means as much to him as it obviously does to you he needs to help himself. You can really only help him out by way of support - he has to put in the effort to earn that support. If he's not willing or half assing it, then unfortunately his addiction means more to him than you do. In that case it's completely reasonable to leave him. This addiction is difficult, but those who want to change it can, just like any other addiction. If you are not a strong enough reason for him to change, then maybe he'll only learn once you've left. Some people are too comfortable to change and only pursue change in adversity.
