    Difficulties with homosexual urges

    Homosexual urges can be very natural, as we may actually be bisexual and that's okay to explore if it's done in a healthy way. Unfortunately though it can also be the addiction progressing. We get "bored" of what we're seeing/doing, and we start to move beyond to get the next fix. So be very...

    0 desire to live and 0 motivation by gooning, don't know what to do

    Gooning is a killer my friend, but remember the gooning community is a lost cause, it's the end of loving yourelf and letting an addiction take us no matter the harms it causes. Give yourself some love, get back to the gym, do healthy things. Be with your family, be with your friends, and help...

    I am ready to stop. I’ve said it many times before, I’ve posted this same post before, and I might do it again, but I will stop.

    Just keep on going and coming back. Unfortunately addiction isn't something we can snap our fingers and stop, it forces fundamental changes in our lives and how we live it. I think you're doing some healthy things, looking at your trigger points and things that are wholesome for your wellbeing...

    just make it stop

    Don't give yourself a hard time. Sometimes we struggle to face life on lifes terms, but if you are making progress, then you are moving forward no matter how slowly. Peace be with you

    edging

    I think edging, for me which I have to stress as we all have differnt behaviours, is like similar to something that acoholics state. Alcoholics don't have to stop drinking, they have to stop taking the first drink. I equate things like masturbation, peeking and edging as a similar thing. It's...

    I’m addicted and can’t stop

    Hello, and welcome! I know that this realisation is a horrible one, but finding acceptance and looking for help are huge, and well done for doing so. I know it's not easy. Sadly this is something that won't leave you, addiction is for life, but it doesn't mean you have to go through with it. I...

    Brand new days

    When it comes to addiction, all we can do is get back to it, take it one day at a time, no matter how many times we have to do so. The alternative is a horrendous prospect.

    Because I feel like I'm in second place

    There's no reason to be first place, nothing comes from it other than pride and ego. It's okay to feel like nothing has been achieved, or that life is somewhat a struggle. All I say is maybe lessen what you see as a success. If you got out of bed, if you did the pots, if you tidied the house, if...

    Struggling with PIED

    It sounds like you're going in the right direction. I have struggled with PIED seriously in the past, and it still hinders me at times these days, but not so much. I am not necessarily porn free in life, but I just try to approach sexual situations without so much pressure on myself, as whilst...

    Compulsive Pornographic Sexual Fantasies Before Sleeping and Upon waking

    Hey! So it sounds like you've got some pretty good grasp of when you're vulnerable, and the problem itself. That is a brilliant start. I think I would suggest maybe putting some sort of routine in place, something to do before bed, and something waking up. I suggest things like getting...

    I failed NNN

    Sadly sometimes we just don't feel like we're enough for those in our lives, but it doesn't mean we aren't. Self pity is a horrible feeling, but you've got to just go on. I suggest just trying to concentrate on the present, not giving yourself lengthy goals beyond a today, as it only adds...

    NEED HELP AND ADVICE

    Not really sure how you are using this tie, or wearing your clothes, but I can safely say in my experience it's impossible to stop my clothes touching my penis since they are on my body. So I'd have to say no, you're probably overthinking it. Peace be with you

    I go to massage parlor once a month.

    I'd say be wary of the pleasure you take from this, if you are already deep into porn obsession/addiction, these sort of things can deepen your compulsive sexual behaviours. This means your problematic behaviours go far beyond just pornography, and can easily lead to further escalation even...

    Help Needed: Bulletproof Windows Blocking System

    Hello I think that unfortuantely there are no bulletproof ways, as addicts/compulsive porn users we always find a way, and unfortunately we have to accept that we can only do so much to block it all out. I do recommend Covenant Eyes though, I have used it for some time, and yes there are ways...

    Porn Has Twisted My Mind On Women

    This is what happens when it is abused. You're doing the right thing having blockers and restricting yourself, for we have abused our privilege to freely use the internet like others, but you are wrong about just magazines or anything like lingerie or mild porn. You can never go back to any type...
