    alot of people say 90 days but is that necessarily true? i suffer from anal pain, testicle pain (only when i tap onto them it’s weird i know) and lack of concentration and focus pretty much. i been to doctors for my groin discomfort but it was all normal, and i am gonna see another one just to double check because last i saw was like a few years ago. but i noticed after i stopped for 2 weeks the pain for everything lessened, am i going crazy or it just one big considence? or does masturbation actually play a role in that?
    im doing pretty good so far and i think i will make it to 90 days. i was prescribed lexapro for my social anxiety and so far its making me less horny so i can control my masturbation urges.

    one thing ill add though, i never had a problem or addiction to porn like other people. i can watch it, but can quit anytime. should my recovery be much of a smoother ride then? since that seems to everybodys problem. i do however get aroused by nudity on television. does that still count?

    You are early to quit and save so much health problems, I have a ton of diseases because of PMO'ing 1 (or more) time(s) a day, save future problems and don't relapse.

    I think you are much deep in mastrubation and thats why it will take more time to in recovery more like 150days.And Dont worry if you get pain go to your doctor

    Accounts in these communities seem to agree it takes at least 2 years of monkmode to notice recovered red cheeks, 'hidden' pockets of extra vitality that you dont need to touch in daily life, but are there when you run or exert yourself physically. Pretty much normal functioning genitals, etc. Of course this assumes you don't sleep 5 hours everynight for 2 years, or hit starvation or live a very sedentary lifestyle for 2 years.

    Another way to look at it is as an addiction. How long for an alcoholic to recover? A few days? Sort of. A lifetime? Sort of. A few weeks of recovery helps me a ton. But I'll always be a masturbation addict....in recovery..

    yet its funny how my therapist is telling me “im not addicted” cause there needs to be a certain criteria that needs to be met, like it interfering with your job or your family lol. that doesn’t even make sense.

    if you cannot stop like i can’t - its a addiction. theres no certain criteria. its just a way of doctors making masturbating seem healthy when its not.

    It will take as long as it takes. There's no such thing as "stay away for X days and that's that". Do you agree that you have a problem? Do you want to fix it? Then work towards changing that. It's deceptively simple, yet incredibly difficult. But it's worth the fight, and every day you resist is one less day you indulge. So dont dwell on the past and the self pity, and don't focus on the future that has not yet come. Focus on the now. Say "not today". Say it again and again. And eventually you'll look back and wonder how could it take you so long to get it :)

    Your reply shows a lot of wisdom. Good job. Count me as someone who now totally believes you will succeed.

    how long does it take to make my social anxiety go away and give me more confidence with women? im on week 2 and i don’t really feel any different then i did before. still shy and can’t approach any women without me shitting myself.

    Somewhere I read/heard that your body needs 1 year of healing from every 6 years of addiction to something.

    Hard to say. But my humble suggestion is to focus on yourself. Once you are confident you have masturbation under control, I think the "women" part will tend to take care of itself.

    doesn’t really help my case. i think im confident enough to do it now, but i feel semen retention isn’t for everybody and definitely not beneficial to someone that has social anxiety.

    Do you read your own words? You fully contradicted yourself. You said you can't approach a woman without shitting yourself. And now you say you are confident.

    Sorry bro, now I think you are messed up. Or at least sloppy with your writing.

    Fasting repairs . As long as your liver is intact and not damaged from alcohol, sugar and drug abuse. Fasting can help as well. always question and keep an open mind.
