Addiction

the KEY of recovery in my case

I'm a 25-year old male. I found this site somehow by searching for information about serotonin (THANKS to GOD for the fortune).

As I read, I found there is a lot bigger picture about how things are working then I expected. A picture of reward system and addiction. A picture that can explain my experience with my urges, sexual desire, orgasms, and hangovers after them. So I gained more knowledge about how my brain works.

General remarks

An addiction can be a great starting point from which to observe the power of bonding-based lovemaking. However, you (the addict) will need to make an important decision first.

some solutions needed

Hi

Anyone had an experience of living without orgrasm for more than 6 monthes?

Hello,

I'm 29 y/o male. I have an orgasm experience from the age of 13 till now.
16 years living with ograsm, 16 year of "addiction" to orgasm.

Now I want to try to live without ograsm for 6 monthes (no sex, no masturbation, no sexual activity at all).
Do anyone have such experience?

Thank you.

Masturbation doesnt feel good anymore

I started masturbating about the age of 7, way before i even knew what it was. I use to just enjoy the feeling and kept doing it. I grew up in a violent family and was very stressed all through my childhood so i think i used this as a relief. Im 21 now. I can get an erection but masturbation just doesnt feel good; it feels forced. I even taught i was gay. I spent years avoiding gay porn because it turned me on and i didnt want to escalate it. That gave me a lot of anxiety.

My story - Relapses and abstinence

Hi!

I'm a 22 year old male recovering from porn addiction, my porn addiction is and has been the most influential and the most destructive force in my life. I came onto this site about 5 weeks ago when I was breaking down mentally. I felt I was loosing my grip on reality and the things that I was finding on the web startled me, enough so that I felt I needed help.

Day 18

Day 18, I woke up today and didn't feel any strong urges. Starting to get bored with the day while waiting for answers from job applications and the urge to p/m/o is increasing while i'm not distracting myself. Last night while hanging out with friends i was told by a good friend i've known for many years that she's so happy where i am in my life and how much i've changed. she does not know about my p/m/o...it was a nice feeling hearing that, gives me strength to keep up the fight...Going to finish scraping paint, then off to work. Will update later.

How to avoid it...

I'm morally against porn for many of the reasons that this site's links describe. The violence and the promotion of abusive, power-centric models of sexuality, etc. Anyway, I hate porn and I no longer want to support it financially (directly or indirectly).

The issue is, I'm vegan (or moving towards it). I also like sex toys but it seems like there are NO places that sell sex toys that don't support porn somehow smiley. Also the only vegan non-animal tested lube our local store sells is this burning painful awful stuff that hurts.
