Dr. Todd L. Love (PsyD, JD, LPC) AMA! Ask an expert anything about porn addiction and rebooting!

I think there's a correlation btn masturbation and indigestion problems. I have had bad digestion since I started masturbating.

 

You know, I think you're onto something. My digestion has been crap as well since a few years ago and it started to occur around the same time..

 

Yeah, masturbation has something to do with it. At times I feel like going to use the restroom. But anytime I masturbate before that, I don't feel like going to the restroom anymore. I mean the poop lol just don't wanna come out anymore no matter how hard I try

Seems like we've got lots of questions here. I wonder when will Dr.Love answer all that.

 

So, just wondering when this podcast or whatever it is is going to happen.

 

This year i had severe indigestion too. It happens when I M. I feel sick and very bloated. It kicks in when i have sex too.

I been M for 15 years but i never had it before this year!

 

Hello ?

 

Good question.

 

I think they are also wondering where the doc is

 

What do you think is at the very root of masturbation, porn and sexual addiction?
Do you think masturbation is natural and healthy or do you think we were only designed to have sex with another person?

 

1) What does really cause masturbation adiction on your opinion? Is it emotional, cultural, physical, spiritual, all these together?
2) What are the things/procedures/techniques/methods that have been successfull to cure porn addiction/masturbation?

 

how do you overcome sexual shame?

 

What are your thoughts on "monk mode" -- abstaining from fantasy and sexual thoughts altogether?
Is "sexual transmutation" backed by any scientific evidence?
Do you recommend continued abstinence from masturbation (or even fantasy) after the reboot process is over, especially when one is not having regular sex?

 

How much of porn addiction is related to willpower? If one was to strengthen their willpower in other areas of life (or over all of one's life), could porn addiction be overcome?
