Hello there

I'm new here. In my 30s, Single, Straight & looking to do as my name says and hold it in. I would say I have a definite masturbation problem, and porn addiction. Trying to get back into my faith, (I'm a Christian) and and this point I'm willing to try anything. I want to keep my masturbation habits to 1 time a week, I've been successful at such in the past and thoughrally enjoyed my orgasms more the longer I left it in. I do want to however cut porn out completely, as it leads me down such compulsory masturbation, night and day, day in and out. Which is completely detrimental to the way I want to enjoy life

So that's where I am. Thanks for having me here

 

Hey thanks so much for your reply Jefe Rojo. I totally understand the articulation between masturbation and porn and how they can make ones experience that much more gratifying, I'm not really concerned about my masturbation habits as I've controlled them before, mine is mainly porn. Which makes my jacking off out of control. I love playing with myself, but the porn is like a wildfire that leads to all kinds of nonsense. One size def. Doesn't fit all, glad you found what works for you

up until recently (a few days ago) it was daily I was looking at porn, No, not the first time. Ive tried many times but also recently started taking my walk with God more seriously, so that's mostly where this stems from. The longest I've been able to abstain is two weeks or so but couldn't go much more than that without being driven crazy by my penis

 

Thanks so much Tiger Uppercut. Hoping to add good helpful content here

 

Well, in the past when I lasted more than a few days without masturbation I tried to keep myself busy. Until I was so worn out I didn't want to Jack off, only wanted to go to bed, now however I'm trying to incorporate a more spiritual walk which I'm more than willing to tweak to get the desired results. I think masturbating is healthy, and even don't think God has too much of a probelm with it. It's everything else especially pornography that brings real troubles into ones life from my perspective. Thanks for the encouragement Jefe. I hope so too
