I feel most of these forums are people who are addicted to porn instead of masturbation. I don't think I'm addicted to porn cause I have never had any cravings whatsover to look at it unless I'm masturbating, and that is what my addiction is; after 37 days I relapsed and masterbated and even than I did not look at porn; 37 days was a big accomplishment cause I think the last time I had a streak like that was about 30 years ago when I was in Basic Training; I won't let it get me down; it's now 2 days but I will conquer this; my question is this, does the temptation and cravings start to be less the longer you go without masturbating? After 37 days, I was horny almost all day, and it was driving me crazy, and I gave into it at the end of the day; I even went on a stationary bike for about 30 minutes, but that only helped for like 15 min afterwards; any suggestions or comments. Thanks
I'm addicted to masturbation too, I'm actually finding that its harder to heal from than porn. I'm still looking for a sure-fire way to keep myself strong, but the principles are the same: have a plan, stay occupied. I think I can say that the first 2 or 3 days of no MO are much harder for me than if I go longer than that. Just getting through the beginning is a feat and then it does get easier as you get further along.
Hi James, In answer to your question, yes I think it does, well certainly in my experience. Just like anything else, its a time thing. A bit like going to the gym - the more you put in the more stronger you get. Good luck on your quest. Gautama
I always thought I was addicted to porn and realized it was masturbation probably because of era I grew up; we didn't have the internet in the palm of our hands; Today, I always have my cell phone with me and really dont get tempted to look at ANY porn; in the past I did just to build up my appetite to masturbate later; Im going to fight this one and win; so tired of giving in and it has ruined my past relationships with women by causing problems such as not being able to get turned on by them.
