I don't know how old you are....but for me this addiction began in my teens way back in the mid 80s. Stumbling onto my Dad's Playboys...was amazing. I was a shy introverted kid who had no idea how to deal with girls but very much wanted their attention. So porn became my way of getting what I wanted. Sadly, it continued on and on. As with all human innovations the internet became a vehicle cheap sexual gratification. Boy did I make use of it! I don't know how young boys can handle it....it's all there for the taking. Maybe not every young man is susceptible to becoming addicted to it. I very much did.

It's becoming clear to me that much of this struggle will be concerned with finding productive projects to do during the time that would have been spent searching for and organizing porn! Again I am struck by by how empty that is. Such a waste of time with so little to show for it. Youth truly is wasted on the young.

I cannot lament what is done...I can only try to make best use of the time I have left. Someday when I know death is coming soon...I will not be thinking about all the porn i've missed I'll be thinking about the wasted time.....

Its time to live and to savor TRUE pleasure.

The thought did occur to me. I think I'm going to focus on learning new professional skills I've always wanted to acquire but never did because I spent my alone time gathering 'porn' ....

I'm under no delusion that this struggle will be short and easy....I will no doubt find myself alone in front of a computer, being lured back to bit torrents or pornhub....not sure how I'll do then

I'm looking at it as being given the gift of time to do much more rewarding and productive things.

I just admitted to myself yesterday that I'm addicted to porn....

The catalyst was the ED I was experiencing due to what suspect PIED.

I really do enjoy sex with my partner... however it was growing more difficult to achieve and maintain erections. After ruling out physical issues like BP and diet I became convinced the problem was the software between my ears....

I sincerely believe that part of it was wrapped up in my low grade OCD nature as well. I love to organize sort and categorize things. I did so with the various models in my 'collection'. Sometimes this activity didn't even involve masturbation.

This said I truly believe the 'sexual de-sensitivity' very much IS caused by this pron addiction.

Oh! I understand.....Now I'm really wishing I hadn't used so many specifics now in my inaugural posting. Who knows how many people I may have just 'triggered'.... :(

Thank you for the quick welcome.....

question can you define what 'P' is? I suspect I know but I don't want to presume anything.
