    For a while now I have been touching my penis and my girlfriend is going to leave me if I don't stop I was thinking on getting one of those penis guard things but then she saw me and says I should do it myself but I just can't I go to a martial arts club so is there a possibility that I could use a groin guard but like change it so that there is a key to take it off i'm desperate! Does anyone know a way I could do something like that?

    Blockers on all of your devices. And ask that your girlfriend restrict her devices from you. That is much easier than any physical barrier to your penis (chastity devices, by the way, can permanently damage you if they prevent erection). You could also seek psychiatric help (SSSRIs and/or naltrexone) to reduce urges, though this might have unintended consequences with GF (at which point ED needs might help).

    I know most people here want to stay away from medications, but those medications were created to help you. And they very well can. Do what you must.

    When you say you have been touching your penis, do you mean all the time? Like do you sit watching TV with your hand permanently down your pants?

    its not really alot like my hand isn't permanently on it :D but it depends on if people are there if they are never if they are not mostly, always its more my girlfriend. She says that I need to stop. To be honest leaving her is not an option.

    I don't want to damage anything but I want to try something that I cant just undo, thats why I thought of a chasity device, but I don't want to try medications yet if there are any things I can try suggest them i'm open. If they are much more unnoticeable devices I can try because I don't want a big box strapped to me or something that makes me not like my self unless it is just less of an urge.

    Maybe you could try getting into the habit of doing something else with your hand whenever you get the urge to touch your penis. Or more drastic, you could punch yourself hard in the leg every time you feel the urge to do it. Or worst of all, you could get your GF to slap you round the face every time you do it. Aversion therapy. If every time you go to do something, something painful happens, you will soon want to stop doing it.

    Ok I guess are there other ways instead of getting bruises? Like I said I am open. Just maybe not to pain because I bruise easily.

    Like I said I am free to new ideas just as long as it isnt that noticeable or causes bruises.

    I’ll be honest. You seem hesitant to make sacrifices. But the truth is, sexual addiction is a particularly vicious addiction that you shouldn’t underestimate. There are people whose addiction does not run deep enough and/or they are strong enough to do it by simple willpower. And there are others (like me) who waste years of their lives half-assing their attempts to quit. Medication is a viable solution. Naltrexone has been shown to be effective as a general addiction killer (with varying and limited success) and that includes behavioral addictions.

    That said, exercise (at least moderately rigorous) is also an alternative and has been shown to increase dopaminergic receptor density in withdrawing methamphetamine addicts. It will no doubt help you with sexual addictions (and has been shown to do so), but you also must not use it as a crutch. If you do, you will fail.

    So I should be more with it. But like I said my GF I don't know what she would say and I would consider Medication as a last resort but last night I did just punch myself a few times like what 1978 said. Are you sure that is the only option? Could you give me like a list of options or something.

    I just want something I can keep up because eventually I just know my self I will just not do it ill say I will then never do it or just end up not doing it. I want something I can control but at the same time if my GF wants she can take over control if I give in.
