    I found I cannot get a hard on without touching myself. And that's weird. I use to. I also found that OK I watch porn when I wank but only once a day and I don't think about it at any other time. Am I addicted? But also it seems I cannot masturbate without something in my head so it would seem I have a problem.

    Most people would agree that when a habit interferes and causes detrimental effects in your day-to-day life, it can be coined as an 'addiction' instead. Excessive masturbation has desensitized your penis as was my case and others here, but instead of using that to decide if you have an addiction or not, it would be more correct to see if the habit itself has disrupted the balance in your life.

    Do you think you can stay away from it when you have consciously decided to? If not, it would certainly be an addiction.

    Agreed! One thing you might try, @Letitgo123 , is to see if you can avoid PMO for a short time, say, 90 days. If that gives you trouble, you may be addicted to the dopamine generated by your behavior.

    The best way to know if you're addicted to something. Try quitting and if you can't, you're certainly addicted.
