I'm back!
Today, I'm feeling so incredibly tired. My head feels like it is too small for my brain. My eyes and forehead feel especially bloated and hard to move my eyes. I feel like I could sleep until tomorrow.
My dopamine report:
*Low Dopamine: 2,15
*High Dopamine: 2,10
*Relationship disharmony: 1,58

Unfortunately, I've been masturbating to porn again. First, I masturbated to sexual fantasy, then more intense sexual fantasy, and finally porn. This sucks.
I'm not starting off at square one though. I didn't subscribe to the site, just used the preview page. No videos. Still my vitality is diminished, I'm on edge and unhappy at the moment.
Fortunately, I've gone over 3.5 months without porn and know how to disengage and ignore limbic signals/impulses. I just have to do it. Starting today.

Since finding this site on Sunday evening I've been reading with wonder at the helpful, supportive, informative articles and posts - it's brilliant. I'd begun to despair at the lack of information about my situation, even so called experts just not really getting it, and the often-heard refrain that you can't really harm yourself, even with quite excessive masturbation. I saw a therapist a couple of years ago and he told me that I was just experiencing 'judeo-christian' guilt and shame, don't worry.

I am introducing myself as a new member. I am a late 40's male, married 22 years, two kids (both still at home, I was a late bloomer). As I write this, I have just completed reading Peace Between The Sheets, and have discovered that perhaps I have for most of my life been someone for whom undefiled lovemaking would have been a natural instinct, but ignorant that it was something that could have had such profound positive influences on my life. I actually first tried to read PBTS over two years ago, but put it down shortly because it did not feel appropriate for my life or marriage.
