90 dae - ek het my eerste seksuele ervaring gehad sedert ek pornografie stop, en ek kan jou vertel dat dit wonderlik was

I’d just like to take a minute to share my story/tips.

I’ve been trying to quit on-and-off for 3 years but nothing ever helped. I was a “casual” user (once every other day usually), and it slowly moved into darker and more twisted genres. I was not quitting for religious reasons, but simply because I think porn is unhealthy and affects our sexual desires.

  1. In August my girlfriend broke up with me almost out of nowhere. Probably one of the hardest moments in my life. In that moment I felt that I could go back into numbing myself with porn or I could actually work through my problems and try to face them.
  2. I attended a meditation program (two actually), which forced me to sit with myself even if I was uncomfortable, and come face-to-face with my problems. I introduced a daily meditation practice.
  3. I started working the “Fortify” platform, which provides videos, posts, etc…, which help in recovery.
  4. I do my best to stay in touch with friends, and I tell more friends about it.

I’m proud to say that in December I had my first sexual experience since quitting porn, and let me tell you it was wonderful. I was fully present.

I want to tell you though that this is a really hard path for me. Especially after a breakup my body still knows how easy it would be to numb the pain. Sitting with it and feeling it is much harder.

I’m really proud of myself and proud of you on this journey. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
