Visit our sister-site, Your Brain On Porn.
These pages of this recent book (The Brain That Changes Itself) by psychiatrist Norman Doidge are very relevant to porn addiction, and also, if you keep reading, to how and why oxytocin (connection with others) can help reset the brain:
Hello all, I'm not sure this is the right place for what I'm about to do, but I just need some help, or a positive place to visit. I do not like nofap places, though there may be some nice people there, and not all fit this description, I really do not like the vibe/mentality of those places.
Transcendental Meditation is a superset of all these tools described here for balancing and rebalancing both physical and mental states with an intention to reach higher level of maturity for sustainable enjoyment including both physical or mental one.
TM is just a technique like karezza that progressively provides awareness of balancing and rebalancing all unbalanced states both in physical and mental domain.
Hi there! It’s been quite a while that I participated in this forum. Part of the reason is that, for most of the past couple years, I lived at a Christian center in the US, and the internet connection there filters out this website.
Hi all,
I had been a porn addict almost whole my life.i was also a masturbation addict. I have a problem of premature premature.I am clean 50 days now.recovering.I have lesser intrest in girls nowadays.though thats emotional issue rather. I have been doing kegels and jelqing since few days. The morning woods are back with occasional erections in a day. i get 80-90 percemt erections mostly. am not sure but could i opt for masturbation/orgasm someday sooner? How long should i wait? This te honestly without porn.i am fi this time.
So it's been awhile since I've posted on this site. In the three years since I last blogged I've had a lot of victory over masturbation and the inevitable fallout. In late 2013/2014 I went for 5 months without bringing myself to ejaculation. It was a long hard road and since then I'll occasionally go for 2-3 month dry spells. I was also in a relationship where I experienced the power of affectionate touch. Such peace and contentment....and the incredible sleep I would have after I would cuddle with my sweetheart.
I suppose it's a form of bonding behavior given limitations on attention.

So inspiring to see what these young guys can do when they wake up from their trances!
I don't recall this being posted, but it's far from new. It's of general interest regarding how we start and stop behaviors and add or remove process, technologically or otherwise.

I am wondering if anyone on this forum has dealt with feeling like they despise or feel disgusted by high energy sexuality and sexual personalities I tend to feel really triggered by highly sexual women and I'm not sure if it's because I am afraid of my own potential bisexuality or the aspect of my life or if I am not very sexual at all and I feel shame about that.
