What's your favorite love song?

Masturbation without orgasm is a popular subject on this site for the obvious reason that it’s the closest a single man (or woman) can come to sacred sex without a partner. This pleasurable practice appears harmless but aside from the obvious danger of going too far, it does rely on mental pornography to be effective. So the question is- do erotic fantasies count as a type of pornography?

I actually masturbated the other day. It didn't feel at all like it used to. In fact it was rubbish! It doesn't bother me that I've broken my rule. The important thing to me is that I now know that I mustn't do it, I didn't know that before.

I've started training (swimming and weight-lifting). I had a virus problem which appears to be subsiding. Sex appears not to be as important as before. I'm happy with myself, I feel I'm on a new road, I hope it's the right one.

Title: 'Waves of Love' by Edvard Munch. Strangely it's impossible to find on the web.

It’s been almost a month now since I ‘m’ and I’ve only viewed porn once for an hour in that same period without 'm'. My efforts have come at a price but it has been worth it. My addiction was my escape from reality and a mental painkiller. Abstaining has forced me to start to find healthier outlets for my frustration and energy. Reading, especially the blogs on the Reunited website, has been a major past-time and an important source of support and encouragement. I have no doubt that it was God’s will that I found you.

I expected my underlying problems to start to surface when my system was starved of its anesthesia - dopamine. BUT, my reaction to them is startlingly different now.

Have I relapsed? I suppose in a way I have. I deliberately viewed porn images on my computer last night for at least an hour. When I saw the first image I felt a bolt of energy going through my stomach. I just had to see more and more and more. That's the problem isn't it? That's why porn addiction is so difficult to quit; it's only a click away, especially if you have wireless broadband and a laptop which you can take to bed with you! Maybe I should marry my laptop!

Ups and downs

Yes, it seems like everyone else giving up the curse of porn and subsequent masturbation, I’m going through withdrawal. After studying the site, I’ve come to realize that my lack of spirituality and the fact that I’m currently unemployed both are factors which do not aid my plight. What is wonderful though is that I feel a positive difference in myself and I think others around me sense that as well.

I have been seriously addicted to porn and have had a huge masturbation problem for many, many years. It has now been 10 days since I last had an orgasm or viewed porn. The period has been very challenging especially the last few days. I have actually masturbated but not climaxed. There are times when I really feel like giving up and the only thing that stops me is the thought that I know that I so desperately need to change my life, that failing in this might devastate me. I believe my main disadvantages are that I am unemployed at the moment and have very limited access to other people.
