Why do I act out after good events?

For me, because no pleasure feels as good as finding the porn I want and releasing to it. Even good things. It’s like crack for that reason.

 

for me, I believe that is true. I don’t want to ever live in the dull boredom that is everyday life. I want pleasure 24/7.

 

I think good events are stressful too, and our way of hiding from stress is in our addiction

 

Sometimes for me I know that good events won’t last or I fear that they will be taken away and that affects me.

 

Your question is a great question.

We hear throughout this forum that porn is perceived as a crutch and an escape from misery; only to find out that it makes us even more miserable. But if we are not feeling miserable, why are we still turning to porn?

It's the boredom. We cannot be happy and excited 24/7 no matter how much we try.

We need to learn to cope better when life slows down instead of turning to porn.

 

We use porn to manage our emotions. Because porn numbs our emotions, when we have any emotions, they feel uncomfortable so we go to porn. They can be good or bad. We have to be truly able to deal with emotions good and bad, then we can give up porn.

 

Believing it is in your DNA won’t help you

 

I know 3 states that I have that can me wants to pmo : sad/depressed, bored and happy.

Sometime I’m just happy and want to have sex. No hidden reason behind. I don’t feel uncomfortable being happy. I always regret pmo after in any case.

 

I've done it. I convinced my self it was celebratory...
