    So during the day, if I get an erection it's easier to control, and I can do something to distract myself from doing anything self indulgent. However, at night like no is when I struggle and am unsure of what to do. It's a small house and I really can't get up and do something, much less leave for a walk or something without the whole house going crazy on what I'm doing this late haha So really I just lay in bed. I try to stay off social media just so my brain can also try to relax. I do have touches of Insomnia sometimes too so I'm just laying here with my thoughts, trying to fight to resist any urges.

    What are some things you guys do when movement and such is limited and you're trying to go to sleep and ignore it? I'd rather not toss and turn all night with my penis flailing about hahahaha Any advice helps! Thanks guys!

    I would suggest you to listen to audio books when you try to sleep, You would either become very interested and continue listening or fall asleep.If you dont have the habit of doing it, try now, it is worth it

    Thank you, i will have to try that tonight. Sometimes ill take sleeping medication if it gets real bad for insomnia, but during those times too is when i get hard and can't stop thinking about it. So an audio book seems good to distract my mind, help me relax and hopefully sleep without the temptation
     
  4. An audio book is a good idea, or a book or e-reader. Have you tried meditation? I did it for a long time but got out of the habit but I felt it is worth doing and I'm trying to get into it again. Also, maybe writing down thoughts? Again, something I did for a while but got out of the habit.

    But yes, I know the feeling really well. It is the most difficult time, when the brain has nothing else to do but think and not being able to sleep is a good definition of torture. I still sometimes lay in bed and the urges start but I try to remember the last time I watched porn and how bad I felt afterwards.
