Masturbation Addiction

[InVader]

Happy new year folks!

Its actually a little embarrassing that I'm going to write about this on a public forum, but here goes....

After reading Neils Strauss new year 'Swagger' message, where he listed his self-improvement goals during his transformation in the game, I noticed one of these was to stop masturbating. After reading this, I thought to myself that its is something I've gotta try myself.

I'm pretty sure that I've developed an addiction to porn/masturbating, have seen a few threads on here with people saying the same thing, but mine is getting out of hand! (Or should I say too much in hand)

So basically for the start of the new year one of my many self-improvement goals is to cut down on the good ol' self-love and see how this affects me.

It's basically gotten to the stage where I can go two or three times a day and then when it comes to going out I'm actually paranoid about actual sexual contact because my knob is too sore! Absolutely ridiculous that I've allowed it to get to that stage. Its almost as if I'm self harming!

Anyway i think that documenting my progress on here will make me more likely to prolong my abstinence. At least I hope so!

If anyone fancies joining me then feel free.

So far I'm halfway through day 2. Not really felt the urge to pull my wire as yet, probably because I'm still feeling motivated as I only started a couple of days ago. Don't feel any better or worse either.

I'll let you know how things go.

Cheers,

The biggest thing is cutting out porn. If you can do that, everything else will fall in place.

So can anyone explain what happens after a week (or two) passes without masturbating? Personal experiences are fine as well; just curious.

I'm at my 3rd day here. Feeling less and less tired after increasing doses of Vitamins C and D

Thanks. I already go to the gym about 3-4 times a week, have got myself some weight gainer and don't have enough money to go out and get drunk so should be a good month of training. Will be interesting to see how this effects my training, will surely be a good thing.

It's been 10 days now and I definitely feel better. Haven't looked at Porn and am controlling the urge to fall back into the old routine. I'm doing household tasks instead of simply pulling my wire so am fairly well organised at the moment too!

Have started dreaming about women now, don't think this was happening before I started my abstinence. Don't have any money for a night out this month, so by the time I get paid I'll be raring to get out there!

Based on my own experience, I think I may have som advice for you.

First of all, like TyTe`EyEz said, you need to lay off the porn.

As mentioned earlier, I struggled with the same problem as you. And it is difficult to go from one (or two) times a day to once a week, a month, etc. So I went for a more gradual approach. First I went one day without it. Then I went two days, and then three and four.

Anyway, I hope this was of some help. And good luck.

Great resource for this. There's numerous testimonials on the benefits of quitting, how it can affect you, tips on quitting, etc. They put masturbation and porn together (acronym P/M/O), but I would think quitting porn, then masturbation is a good idea.
