so hear it is, I have struggled with porn addiction, and like to believe I have it beat, maybe not, I don't have much of any urge to watch porno since it has caused alot of problems in my relationship,, so her it is, is masturbating without porno not on a regular basis dangerous? my main issue was the porno and chat rooms, but I trust myself I wont break and those are gone forever... thoughts?
Masturbation has many positive attributes but just turning off an addiction isn't that easy IMO. If you can go without that's frigging great but make sure you get the proper treatment (i.e. resetting or some other form) or else you're just kicking the can down the road.
I recently did 97 days pm free until my therapist said it would be ok to get a porno mag , the wife was ok with it but I pushed my limits and watched the DVD that came with it as well...that she was not ok with, so I reset and established a zero tolerance for p and am currently on day 32 pm free, I understand the Chase affect because I can feel it after I lay with my wife, and try to always be consciously aware of it,
Seriously, you have to get a new therapist. This is outrageous!! GET RID OF THAT GUY. Seriously! It makes me so upset that a so-called "professional" would ruin his patient's recovery like this. Man, if you feel a chaser to watch porn because of sex with your wife, then I would strongly advise against masturbation. It will make things worst. But the worst of the worst is porn and PMO. As long as you don't do that, you're good.
ya, looking back now is pretty 20/20 bad choice, we did change therapist and its a whole new ball game, more direct and treated like its a whole new level, which is good, tough love. probably because its a female now two , but all good. so far so good everything is going great so maybe ill just keep doing what I'm doing, ps, this site really helps
So many times during my life I would stroke myself in bed while preparing to sleep thinking that some edging would help me sleep like a baby but I would defeat the purpose at least 80% of the time by having a full blown orgasm anyway! Let's face it! Jerking off is a disaster that keeps repeating itself like a scratched LP. If I were you, I'd just hang up the thing for good!
