I wrote to my spiritual teacher recently, and poured my heart about about my current addiction for the first time to him. His response was very helpful ... and again I would like to share this with you guys/gals. This advice has helped me A TON.

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:

*High Dopamine: 2,10
*Relationship disharmony: 1,58

Just beginning here; looking for advice on which aspects of "fertilization sexuality" can be adapted to bonding, and which are just distracting holdovers which it would be best to remove from my practice (e.g. intercourse, ejaculation), but which are generally allowed here, if rarely or on a schedule, only because "we are human" and can't or don't really want to give them up. I know my own mind well enough from experience (e.g.

I've been writing these down for years now, whenever they come to me, whether it's out of my head or stolen from someone else, and finally got around to typing most of them so I could share. I don't consider these to be absolute truths in themselves, but rather tools to help to see the situation in a different way. I hope some of you might enjoy some of them.
1. To receive joyfully is often the best gift you can give.
2. Liberation, not perfection.
3. Never be deterred by the presence of cranky people in the world.

I'm putting this up mainly because of the statement in bold, about the capacity for relationship depending on biological balance.
Exercise For Healthy Relationship
Maintaining a healthy relationship can be strenuous exercise in itself. The mantra to be successful at is to understand the development of one's own love history.
According to Dr. Mark Beitel, a licensed clinical psychologist and psychotherapist at Greenwich Hospital's Center for Integrative Medicine in Cos Cob, CT, the way to overcome negative romantic outcome is to break the pattern.

I stumbled across your website the other day and I'm so glad that I did, because it has already changed my life. Reading your forums and insights has been a wake-up call and I'm incredibly grateful for such an amazing resource - thank you!
I'm in my mid-twenties and for as long as I can remember I've masturbated to help me to get to sleep at night. Without psychoanalysing myself too much, it all started when I was sent to boarding school at a really young age, as I learnt, as a coping mechanism that the buzz of orgasm helped me to feel safe at night.

I have just signed up and feel at home! I have tried retaining before and was semi-successful for nearly a month. Unfortunately, some pre-cum and a bit of semen would come out during my intent of self-plesure without ejaculating. Seems I would go too far. Last week I caved with going all the way but managed not to lose ALL of my semen again since I pinched my sac intermittently. Still, there is an energy loss- though not quite as intense as fully releasing. Ready to get disciplined with this and limit the self-pleasure as a reward system and no more than two a week.

Good morning.
I thought I would take a minute to reflect on how nice of a week it has been.
It is day 9 of my first experience in abstinence since I first self-discovered myself 10 years ago.
(on a side note, I've realized that day 15 for me... the minimum length recommended for balance, is going to be christmas day! What a wonderful gift I'm giving myself... balanced brain chemistry. terrific.)
I am amazed at how good i feel, at how much less I feel bad about "me issues" on a day-to-day basis.
not to mention that I just feel much more wholesome when I dont look at porn.
