Addicted to masturbation
I have really become bad by this I am close to a stage where I would just let it all in and not even feel bad about, I am not just addicted to porn but woman in general I am just tempted just by seeing a woman wearing short dresses this is the real problem even if I had seen just porn I guess I could be better by time but as I grew up I masturbated to actresses and stuff, Now I cannot even watch a movie where an actress comes my face turns red and I would look down or do something when someone is around me, I am 20 and I am afraid I could never love a woman in my life, it makes me awkward when I even go to shops this makes feel that it’s better to stay home, I know that this is a very evil thought in me but I want change for the rest of my life, so I had to post this, thanks you for reading,please help or share if someone goes through the same problem(i guess that no is like this but if there is please)

Hey there friend, sorry to hear you've been struggling. I was browsing recent forum threads and came across yours. I wanted to let you know you're definitely not alone <3
Unfortunately, for one reason or another, many individuals are struggling with similar situations as you <3 From hearing other people's stories, I can't imagine the journey to recovery is easy, but I know you can do it! I'm confident and believe in you!
Like lovely said, you're self-aware, and acknowledging circumstances is amongst the first steps to recovery <3 So kudos to you. In addition to that, you've highlighted some definite triggers, and the routines i.e. actions that those triggers cause. Whether it's changing your environment, removing your triggers, or working on changing your routines to those triggers, you can stop if that's what you're looking for!
We have this sorta motto, one day at a time <3 You can do this <3
Sending you loads of strength and patience <3
