I'm a 22 year old male and I'm a p**rn addict. I'm extremely depressed right now, so mad at myself and I hate what has happened to me. I spent the last 8 years of my life in p**rn addiction. I masturbated almost everyday, sometimes up to 4 times a day. I'm really disgusted with myself. I have always tried to quit it but never succeeded. I never had much friends and I never had a girlfriend. I know that this is so messed up for me to be writing this right now. But I feel that I need to talk to somebody about this and keep myself anonymous. So hear me out.

4 years ago, I noticed that I was loosing a lot of hair. I consulted doctors, I researched online, but never found the answer as to why I was loosing my hair. Until 3 days ago, I randomly researched the side effects of excessive masturbation. I was horribly shocked to see that hair loss and memory loss were 2 of the many long term effects. I spent that night crying in regret, as this is exactly what has happened to me. My family always wonder how come I barely remember real experiences, the good and the bad. I feel like my past is just a shadow, I can't share my experiences with others, as I feel like nothing has happened in the past. There are people that come up to me and say that they remember me from high school, at first I used to think that they mixed me up with someone else. No matter how convinced they were about knowing me. And on top of this horrible thing, my hair is noticeably thin. It's bad to the point where if I spiked it, my skull would be showing.

I have no clue why no body tells you these things. Why do we have sex education in high school and no body ever tells you that excessive masturbation is bad. In fact, all I heard in the past is masturbation is a normal part of life and is healthy. I think it is so important for educators to get the word out that it is in fact dangerous and can ruin you. How would you feel being nearly bald at the age of 22? I also think that p**rn should be blocked in every country. They've made it so easy to access these things that it's so easy to be addicted to it. If I tell you there's a beautiful naked lady behind this door, all you have to do to see her is open the door, wouldn't you open the door? It's the same thing with p**rn. Every fuckin teenager and under-aged person knows that there are really pretty naked women that they can look at, and all they have to do is type in a web address!

Do you think that there's a cure that could bring back my hair?

Re: Addiction & Ruin

yeah finasteride, also known as propecia, it seems it may benefit you with more then just your hair

If this isn't a trololol:

The biggest porno-fiend and self-confessed chronic masturbator I've ever met is a solid NW1 with barely any body hair, at age 25. He's actually a pretty good looking guy and he says he even prefers porno to real girls. Weird.

You'd be going bald even if you'd never wanked one off in your life - it has nothing to do with it.

Everything is harmful when done in excess. Be it drinking alcohol, or clean water; masturbating, or doing sports.

Based on your post, I do believe your problem is much more deep-rooted. Hair loss is just one of the symptoms that something is wrong. Perhaps, it is the lack of social interaction that is here to blame. Ask yourself, do you live a passive lifestyle? This is one of the most common reasons leading a young person into depression. Depression, in turn, may give you an unnatural sexual desire. This combined with passive lifestyle (read: lots of free time) naturally leads to frequent masturbation.

If I'm correct, then lose the free time you have and become occupied with something. You may be able to overcome your depression, and your brain will not be preoccupied with sexual thoughts for all day long.

About the hair, there is unfortunately no cure that would give you a guarantee to bring back your hair. Some medications are known to stimulate hair growth and may help to regrow hair to some extent. Some can help to block the synthesis of dihydrotestosterone (hormones, which are believed to slowly devitalise follicles) to maintain the hair. If I were you, I would probably get on finasteride (Propecia). Also, Nizoral (2-3x a week) can do magic to your hair. Many would probably also recommend you minoxidil, however, I firmly believe that this substance is not worth all the hassle. Other than that, move, do sports if you aren't already doing. Eat healthy, lose greasy, overfried crap from your diet. Lots of vegetables & fruits, cottage cheese, chicken, rye bread, nuts, and of course WATER. Take your vitamins, if you think your daily diet is not sufficient to provide you everything you need.

Just keep in mind that the worst thing one can do to his hair is to become obsessed with it. Not only it's stressful, but it does anything but good to your hair. People underestimate the power of mind. I've been through it, and I can tell you, it's horrible. Just pop your daily pills, forget the problems, and be in motion.

Thank you all for your replies to my thread.

@weepysad

I think that there is so much truth in what you say. I thank you with great appreciation for your reply especially. The problem may very well be that my life is not well balanced. And on top of this I don't fruits, vegetables, and barely ever take vitamins.

I read your post many times over and over again. And after thinking about what you said, I realized that I really need to change. Change the way I eat and the way I live. I also realize now that I need not worry about my hair. It's part of how I look but it's not part of who I am. I'm seriously considering shaving my hair to prove to myself that it does not add or take away anything from who I am.

And finally what you said about the power of mind and how people underestimate it. It's so true. Because you really can choose to be happy in whatever circumstance you're in. So this sparked the idea in my head to look for a book about this, and after researching some books about the power of mind, I came across and downloaded an audio book called The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. I listened to the first 3 chapters of the book and I am exhilarated with it. I highly recommend it to everyone. I really think it's a must read/hear.

So thank you so much weepysad for a well thought of investigation to my problem and providing me with all the solutions. I really owe you one. I feel that this is turning point in my life, to the better.

Four times a day? I'd wank you under the table on bad day! Not in a litleral sense, more as a metaphorical term in a wanking competition. Word.
