    hello all.

    has anyone here used masturbation to just shut down as a person and go into a shell?.

    that's what I feel like when I masturbate, everything gets numbed down and what ever is happening around me seems irrelevant .

    a day or 2 into NoFap I starting getting anxious all my muscles are tensed and Its as if I'm waiting for the ball to drop .

    Can anyone give me advice to deal with this

    You are using masturbation as a coping mechanism to deal with problems. You need to find other ways to deal with life.

    That's what all the people who masturbate to porn search, numb themselves, which is the same thing drug user search, numb themselves, which is the same things food addicts search, to numb themselves.

    All addictions are made to numb oneself and not feeling the problems and the pain, and trying to feel better.

    You want the real advice to deal with this? You feel the pain, you feel all of it, and you keep feeling it, and you just feel bad, and that's it, that's how you deal with the pain, you feel all of it until it finishes, without masturbating, without using drugs etc...

    That's the only reason I used porn.

    Every time you masturbate you become weaker, every time you feel the pain you become stronger.
