    Is anyone else here an adrenaline junky?

    Im coming to the realization that I’m not actually a porn addict or masturbation addict. I’m actually an adrenaline addict. I don’t think I could really give a shit what gives me the adrenaline, porn is just an easy and lazy way to get adrenaline.

    For me growing up it was always something like graffiti, love art and artistic. Also a lot of adrenaline of getting your tag up etc in crazy risky spots of getting caught. Loved it. Pure adrenaline. Also got into taking peoples cars or fast motorcycles as a kid and driving very very fast well before the age of 16. Ended up crashing a Harley and never did it again. I couldn’t help but to get on the bike and be reckless. Ever since I stopped stuff like this I’ve been very depressed. Porn was just the best thing I could find for adrenaline in my house.

    I think I’m very much an adrenaline addict. And I’m not sure if there is really any healthy way to deal with that. Maybe get into racing? Or something. Not sure. Porn is honestly just icky to me to say the least and makes me feel horrible and bad about myself, sorry for the people involved in it etc etc. I don’t want to feel really guilty for my adrenaline rush. And I don’t want to hurt anyone with it. Not really what I’m about. I have a couple of motorcycles and drive them uninsured, so that’s a bit of a rush. But I have a kid now, don’t really want to fly off a cliff like before. But how else can you get an adrenaline rush without some kind of danger? I’m not sure.

    Is anyone else here a true adrenaline addict? How do you deal with it or get your fix outside of lame ass porn (weak adrenaline btw).

    I got into a physical altercation at work the other week (its the nature of the job) and I've been bored since then.

    I do BJJ and it fills the hole and I drive a bit too fast and that also scratches it, but it's hard to find something similar.

    Ya I could see fighting as a pretty big adrenaline rush. Just not into hurting people is the only thing for me personally.

    Trying to brainstorm careers/jobs I could get into that are very high adrenaline

    I am. I love the flow of adrenaline through my veins. But I make sure I am safe with my actions.

    i
    im a mixture of adrenaline and dopamine

    i have adhd so my brain really only lights up when there is a perfect blend of adrenaline and dopamine at that point i can hyperfocus .

    im not addicted to porn per say the reality of what attracted to has long been surpassed by compulsive tendencies to keep brain chemicals at an even kilter or in my case high.

    but we still use porn for many reasons this is just part of the constant tweaking of brain chemistry . its knowing when youve gone too far and its just causing more problems than positives put it this way anything that has a high demand i would not use my genitals to get me there because you only have so much energy before you start hurting yourself like painful erections because you have been hard for so long and bang another hardon .


    im into all sorts. exercising 100 miles a week runs very steep hill elevations through forest terrain to the summit . heavy lifting . rallying both car and motorbike. mountainbiking through forestry. used to go to tonnes of raves back in the day but not so much anymore sniffing coke drinking vodka and beer taking ectasy and speed and smoking a metric fuck tonne of hash and weed catches up with you .then cleaned up annd went back to rhe gym only thing i ever di now is occasionally smoke weed .

    would have loved to fly planes or jets i have good vision fighter pilot standard in my left is like 6/5 but one of my eyes is damaged so wouldn't pass the medical . im pretty good on bikes and in cars but couldn't afford to actually race


    . when it comes to everything you can only do as ..much as you can afford . so we use what means we have . porn addiction just seems to be part of lack of output and a substitute for stimulation

    Me, personally . And even since I was a child, I always was very active and couldn't stay tranquil in one place for a long time.

    I tried a bit of speeding for the first time in a while. Not super super fast, but in areas where police presence in usually high. So got a bit of an adrenaline rush because I can’t afford a ticket :p
