I am only 18 and this addiction is ruining my sex life with my girlfriend. I can get hard but I cant keep it going at all and I practically have a semi after putting on the condom. I need to quit. This is my first day guys wish me luck.

Hey i’m 19 and have the same problem, recovery is slow but i made it to 81 days last time and began to see improvements. It takes a lot of patience please don’t relapse it fucks you up so much bro it’s not even funny. Currently 9 days in again and yeah once again can’t really have sex. Goodluck bro stay strong. Btw here’s what to expect; First week a lot of people become hyper sexual, most urges to watch porn will be in the first 7 days or so, push through it this is the “hardest” part in terms of urges. After that most people flatline, this means a total loss of libido, you might not even get hard at all which will make you want to relapse but you have to push thru it to recover. The flatline also comes with feelings of brain fog, depression and lack of energy, a lot of the time you’ll ask if it’s all worth it or why you’re doing this. You may have several or long lasting flatlines, mine personally last ages and i had more than one. It’s not all bad though, your sleep quality should get a lot better during this time - try to spend your time doing other things as the depression can really make you fall back into bad habits. Eventually your mood + energy will lift first. And eventually your libido, goodluck man!

Are there any free ones you would recommend? If it’s a cheap one-time cost that’s fine too

Jack I’m 18 as well and in a similar boat, it’s really tough but you can get through it. I’ve done enough to be able to go 7 days routinely without and working on a new record. Good luck with your journey, we’re all here for you. God bless

Dude I’d recommend getting a porn blocker. To be 18 and have already been exposed to enough porn to mess with actual sex means that you really need to pump the brakes on this addiction. Fortunately you are under 25 and your brain is super malleable right now, so if you put in the work you should have a easier time rewiring your mind
