Hi everyone, Have spent a couple days reading posts here before signing up. Looks like a very supportive place to be So a bit about myself. I am 22 years old and been masturbating since I was 14 and viewing pornography since I was roughly 16. I have attempted quitting in the past but was unsuccessful. I believe the reason for this was the fact that I convinced myself that it was not too much of an addiction; committing the act maybe once every 2 days. I read stories of people doing it 4 times a day and thus thought 'Oh, I'm not that bad. I can keep going as I am'. I remember the days where minimal stimuli could allow me to reach O and I miss it. A question, has anyone successfully reset back to this stage? That is one of my objectives. I have a fairly bad case of delayed ejaculation whilst having intercourse with my girlfriend. Our relationship will most likely end soon (for other reasons) so I would like to eliminate this issues for any future sexual encounters. I also hope to eventually return to occasional M but without P. I am not expecting to reach this for a very long time, so it's in the back of my mind. I'm currently 4 days sober and have an initial aim of 30 days. I will hopefully reach this goal and then continue to extend the days. Thanks for bothering to read this!
I cannot say from personal experience, but from what I have read in this forum, I do believe it to be possible. You can do it!
I wouldn't expect to be completely back to that stage. At least to the point where I don't need visual stimuli. Thanks!
