Sexual Healing baaaaaaabbbbyyyyy

19 year old guy with a history of porn use since 11/12 years of age.

Day 1 of reboot accomplished.

My goal is to get my member working properly and disconnect porn from my life so that I can enjoy natural sexual experiences in a healthy way. I'm a virgin but I'd like that to change at some point in the near future and I want to sort out my erectile problems and porn addiction before I have my first time. I also want to detach porn from my perception of sex and learn how to have healthy sexual relationships in the natural way with a caring romantic partner.

Let's do this! Any support and advice is very welcome.

Thats great man! Good that you are getting a fairly early start to healing! Many of us only discovered the problem in our 20s. My first peace of advice is.... stay persistent! Hopefully you can get through this in one go but many people have lapses, if that happens and you get right back on the horse you are still making progress and chipping away at the addiction!

I'd also recommend posting often, even if it's just a little bit it can help you to stay on track.

Finally read a lot! Educate yourself as much as possible. The book "Your brain on porn" by Gary Wilson is highly recommended, so is the Smart recovery book which is great for addiction recovery in general. Read up articles on the your brain on porn website. And definetly read some of the success stories on this forum!

You may also want to check out some journals in the 20-29 section and feel free to post in them. Unfortunately this section for the teens is not too active.

Great. Atta boy!
Very good man. I'm 21.and i've tried to have sex with my new girlfriend last weekend. It didn't worked. I am now researching and i have reasons to believe it was just performance anxiety and reasons to believe it is PIED. I'm mostly terrified and all i can do for now is to quit porn. This is my 3rd day and i'm trying not to be sad and try again with my girl again some days on the future.
So what i want to say is: great that you taking care of your brain before having sex. The more earlier the better.

Hiya, welcome aboard! Nice to have people with similar goals too
In addition to all of the above, I recommend pin-pointing the danger zones aka sites or social media that might contain images or videos of bare skinned guhrls or sumth...
Make a mental note when you are approaching a danger zone and turn around

good luck out there!
