I am a male, single and alone, and always have been. I actually love being single! I have noticed that most of the guys here on NoFap have an addiction to porn. Porn has actually never been a problem for me. My addiction is to edging in the form of extended masturbation. I do not watch porn when I do that. For me, porn would be a distraction. My focus is on the masturbation. I usually have everything absolutely still and quiet, no distractions of any kind whatsoever, and I just become kind of lost in the sensation of the masturbation. It has now reached the point that I sometimes edge myself for hours, even though I could and maybe should be doing other things.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. There are lots of us here who are Catholic, and lots of us are "older." You aren't alone. I hope you keep coming back.
