Every bit of emotional clearing you do will make it easier to open up to deep intimacy with a partner. Don’t hesitate to find a support group and/or therapist to help with this process.

Let’s pretend the world has no porn. In this simplified world, brains still need and use dopamine. That demand for dopamine can be satisfied in healthy ways or unhealthy ways, all of which are subjective to some extent as we’re out of porn-infested, superstimuli murkiness. Despite the best efforts to feed the brain proactively, there will always be times where the brain wants more. That more doesn’t have to be linearly additive in purpose. This is the point I’m wondering about?

Still going good. Still managing my urges pretty good as well. Its funny how my desires fade away when my erections go away. I think its because im not going to P when Im bored where as in the past I would and obviously the urges would just multiply. I just think to myself "If theres nothing going on down there right now, why start?"
I still do get erections so Im not flatlining, i guess im just balancing more.

It's been a while since I wrote here last... I feel like most of what is going on in my life right now isn't really relevant to this forum I guess. I've been lurking a lot, but not really sure what to say. I tried to write last night following an instruction from the oracle to share, but somehow I didn't feel like writing. Giving it another shot tonight.
I've been using the oracle a lot actually. The instructions from the oracle today go as follows:
What is holding me back or causing me pain?

I've been bothered by this for a while. I thought I posted about this before, but I can't find it. It's philosophical and perhaps there is no one answer. It seems the whole world is happiness obsessed. But perhaps I don't get it and someone can enlighten me.

Today, a wonderful day, Golden Eagle kept his hands on my breasts as we lay in scissors and I felt a sustained flow of energy through my body. I had had this sense of sustained energy once before, but this was even longer. Imagine a calm spot, mossy green and brown, in a river. The sun lights up the patch that you are looking at and you can see clearly to the bottom: the rounded stones, the rich golden brown and green hues, a fish swimming lazily into view. The sunlight stays and stays and stays. That’s what it was like. It created well-being through my whole body.

I'm wondering what to introduce into my life to generate more forward momentum. There are lots of possibilities...more excercise, diet changes, meditation, more socialization...but I don't have the time, energy, and motivation to try many of them. I'm not getting enough positive inputs from my life so I'm left chasing my tail and drained. I feel like a stable mess getting tossed about in rough seas. At times it feels like porn was the least of my mess. I seem to be moving in a different direction, but it is frustratingly slow at times despite my patience.

This may not be completely new info, but the realization that it brought to me is very interesting, and insightful.
Also, this would be a good blog entry, but I don't have one, yet. Marnia et. al., I would appreciate if you could allow me to blog, and move this topic to the blog (if possible).
I have been off P for more than three months, and off M and O for last two months.

Let's call the threshold of of contact time (λ).

I'm on day thirteen on my recovery progress. I have never made it further than this but I have made it this far several times before. I'm usually feeling very sexually frustrated at this time. But this time its different, I just feel "normal". I do get horny if I think about sex and I can get the "blue balls"-feeling. But, if I start to think about something else I can pretty easily direct it and just feel normal again.
