masturbation addiction

Not sure what to think after last night (possible triggers)

Community topics: 

So yesterday was day 5 of a perfect clean streak. Yesterday night I met with a girl for drinks and things got more intimate. While we made out and let our hands roam, I was perfectly erect, but then it came to the point where she asked me if I had a condom and I didn't. We ended up driving to a store to grab them and then drove into an empty lot. I was able to get an erection again when we made out, but then I slipped on a condom. We started having sex and I thought I was still hard enough, but after fumbling around in the car I lost it.

Day 28 update

Day 25 11/15/11: I worked out a lot last night and came home really tired. I slept pretty solid and woke up at night with a fairly decent erection. This morning I woke up to a morning wood of maybe 25% at best. I was pleased to at least have some type of progress down there. Had a bit of anxiety when I woke up but I got over it. I noticed that I was pretty social today. I talked with a lot of different girls, both striking up random conversations and talking about class. I felt surprisingly outgoing. I'm gonna go work out and then get to work on school. I'm LOVING the progress I'm making.

After the Hell - Reflections about Behaviors and Situations

One week has passed, and I’ve been dealing with some situations:

Last Wednesday, I went into a big exposition of craftmanship and arts that happened here in my city. And there was a girl that I’ve saw her before, but never been able to meet her. I heard that she has a boyfriend, but that girl seems to have style and personality, and I want to meet her. I like that kind of girl, and to bound with someone new it could be a good thing.

Masturbation addiction without escalation to porn?

I would like to start off by thanking Marnia and Gary for this informative and inspiring website. I would also like to commend all of you on here who are struggling to get better; I do know how difficult it is. I have been following the progress of people on this site for about 3-4 years now and I’ve seen a lot of success and failures, speaking of which you really should repost Redbeards entries, they were very inspiring, much like that of likeandiot’s.

day 65 (it's getting real tough)

Community topics: 

Well first off, there is no sense in "testing" myself because as I mentioned in a previous entry, I achieved an erection by relaxing watching a pretty girl dance on youtube on day 60. That was the only time I even remotely "tested".

I'm pretty sure if I watched porn, I would get an erection. I'm not confident at all about getting an erection with my wife; however, as I've mentioned before, I've unexpectedly gotton erections in her presense on vacation.

♥The last time I had great sex

Just thought I'd post something positive for a change. The last time I had great sex was 2 years ago. I remember clearly it was first thing in the morning, and no ED drugs were necessary. I performed great.
My explanation is this: I wasn't stressed out yet, no performance anxiety, I wasn't awake enough to mope around about my ED problems, and I heard that testosterone levels are highest in the morning.

day 60

I haven't been posting much on my own situation because it's been too painful for me to write about, but I'll give an update. My background. I kind of felt I had a masturbation addiction in my teens that only involved JC Penney catalog underwear models ect... Experienced ED with first girl at 17. Happened to be on a medication called Accutane which has been associated with ED and low libido. So after almost 20 years I've never really sorted out what the source of my problems are, but I'm convinced I have an addiction problem nonetheless.

Shooting for the stars Again...

Ok here goes it,

I have tried lots of different strategies but this is the first time I have ever blogged about my recovery. I got my fingers crossed but reading what others have posted has really given me some encouragement.

I have been trying for quite some time to beat the P&M addiction. I think I first realized I was addicted a couple years ago but my addiction to it probably started in college. I am now in my mid-twenties.

Could Serotonin cause a longer cycle

Would it be plausible a longer cycle? Something that is easily up to a few months longs. Governed by Serotonin. With Serotonin growing slowly as a person is celibate, until it leads to spontaneous orgasms (but not emissions). At that point the system is unstable, and a person often stops being celibate. This leads to masturbation. Which either lowers serotonin, or lowers perceived serotonin (with a system similar to what we know so well about Dopamine). As Serotonin is now lower, a person becomes more impulsive, and masturbates more.

A short resumé.

Well. Your guy ____ is back. I thought it would be a good idea to post what had happened before I joined this page. A short resumé (If that is what it is called in English).
