I've reached the stage thoughts alone can really turn me on?

Basically I have reached the stage where even just thinking about a woman and masturbating extremely turns me on. I am getting a solid erection from this, and great pleasure from it.

At one time I needed porn to be turned on and to get and maintain an erection. But like I said recently even just the thought of a woman is really doing it for me.

But what worries me is if that causes me to IMO more often. Because earlier I IMOed and really enjoyed it. Then tonight I have been bored, I rubbed my self and thought of this female and my dick went hard, and then I thought maybe I should just masturbate again.

I just seem to find it so easy and enjoyable to masturbate just using my imagination now. But I don't want this to develop in to a problem in it's self?

By the way my main goal when I started this journey was curing PIED, and giving up porn and artificial sexual stimulation. My goal wasn't completely giving up masturbation. The way I see it is if I can get and maintain an erection for sexual intercourse, then I am happy with that.

 

I guess my main goal when I started this was curing PIED. Now my goal is more living a life without porn and artificial sexual stimulation. But I realise I am only human, and ending up on these things is very possible. But if my frequency on these things is very low then I believe it's unlikely to cause me much harm. But I will always have the mindset to stay away from these things.

But I don't want to masturbate for fun either, doing it when I am bored, stressed, or just for the sake of it. Because like I said, masturbation using my imagination seems to be very easy and very enjoyable these days. I just worry that turns in to a habit in of it's self. Plus I think that sort of habit could potentially lead me back to porn. It could potentially get to the stage I would be looking for something more enjoyable to masturbate to.

 

Yeah I agree. I think the thoughts can become more kinky, and then more like porn like thoughts, and then I think this could potentially lead a guy back to porn.

It is actually true. Because the other day the least little thing turned me on. But then yesterday when I was masturbating I was thinking about slightly more kinkier stuff.

I think if you rarely masturbate it will remain the normal way, and what I mean by that is you will be turned on by the least little thing.
