Welcome to this next lesson.
It’s good to see you.
Before we dive deep into our program, let me tell you my story.
Story of a porn addict
When I was about 8 years old, I found a magazine with pictures of naked women and fantasized over them.
I also noticed that leaning on objects with my penis gave me a special kind of pleasure.
And I was in for a lot of trouble.
One day, my friend found a VHS tape with porn that his parents had.
So he invited me and other guys over to watch it.
That thing blew my mind.
And later, around 12, I discovered I could stimulate myself so easily with my own hand.
So this is when porn entered my life…
And it was there to stay for the next 20 years.
Shyness
I was already shy at that point.
Especially around girls.
I felt embarrassed about talking to them, not knowing how my parents would react.
Weird, I know!
Porn made my shyness worse.
I felt shameful and had to hide it.
I thought something was wrong with me.
True story!
As a result, I missed 5 years of dating, from 16 to 21.
Dating and relationships
I never dated as a teenager.
I got my first girlfriend only at 21.
Thanks to that, I stopped watching porn for about two years.
But when we were about 2 years into the relationship, I started watching it again.
At that point, we had tension in the relationship which gave me an “excuse” to escape reality.
Still, we got married soon, and I stayed away from porn for another year.
Depression
At 27, however, I hit a low point in my life because my dog had died tragically.
I developed a serious addiction to porn and jerking off because it gave me a quick escape from depression.
But in the end, it was instant gratification: felt good but never lasted.
And it made me even more depressed because I ended up feeling shame and guilt on top of depression.
Plus, I hated the feeling of lacking self-discipline and wasting time and energy.
Enough!
So when I was 32, I said “Enough” and went porn-free.
I’ve been on NoFap for almost 7 years so far.
And I had two short relapses that only confirmed that this is the right thing for me.
Here are some of the benefits:
- I enjoy real sex rather than watching naked people have fake sex online.
- Porn no longer holds me back from tapping my full potential.
- I don’t hurt my girlfriend by watching porn behind her back.
- I am more confident.
- I harness the energy and motivation that I would otherwise waste jerking off.
- I feel in control of my life, enjoying the conscious choice of right living.
Do you want this for yourself?
Yes!
And you are on the right path.
Let’s keep going!
Thank you.
I will see you in the next video.
