A miracle has recently occurred in my marriage. After clearly explaining in a number of ways so she finally Got It, that I wanted a divorce because of lack of physical affection and because of the horrible communication between us, my wife offered to sleep with me again on weekends, and actually ended up sleeping with me almost every night for the last 10 days. The first night I simply put a hand on her side, and tried stroking her back. She said my touch was uncomfortable. So I kept my hands to myself and slept on my side of the bed.

Hi all,
I recently joined the site as I have come to terms that I have a severe pornography addiction and I am trying anything to stop. I think my best course of action without having to go to a Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting is to document my progress and interact with others who have my problem. This seems like a very friendly recovery atmosphere and it seems like a lot of people have a lot more insight about this problem than I do here(esp. Marnia, who is a very reassuring individual). Thank you in advance to all who contribute.

This might sound kinda obvious to some, but...

In the Yogi Times article discussing "seasonal celebacy", Scott Blossom discussed how his practices have helped him refresh his relationship when it has needed a jolt. Practicing "seasonal celebacy" reminds him of the excitement of the early days of his relationship. It makes him feel like he is on a first date during his "100 days of celebacy".

just wondering, how does fantasy fit in to the who issue related to Masturbation, orgasm, porn ect?

It's the end of week 5, and I am looking for a little bit of energy. A lot has changed. I worked out very vigoursly the last few days, which I haven't done in years, so I am feeling a little depleted. When I got done exercising the other day, I thought "this is the best I have felt in almost 2 years." I am a little worried about what I might do to screw it all up.

Brahmacharya wiki. after reading this wiki entry and the link in it I have decided to order the book. although the link is not about the book it does sound close.

just click on the pic and then view the rest of the pics at image shack.

Went for another walk through nature. Some more pics to share.

Have been off line for ages as a result of moving house, so hi again to all aspirers towards integral oneness.

Have messed up big time whilst away, having got to 28 days on my first real attempt for 40 years ( one of the older campaigners). Still a positve in everthing and this has shown how important this web site is- thanks Marnia.

So day one tomorrow, having failed miserably today. Once back on line I though porn rather than reuniting. Confess that i did not want to visit the site because of wanting to taste that self medication a little longer, BUT
