Damn, i tought i could do it But after even one day the urge gets too much. I started out by just fantasizing, then a little edging. And then i'm in this 'i don't care i'm to horny mode'. And then i looked at a porn flick. But..... i turned it off without orgasming. And most times when i start watching that's a point of no return but now i think i watched it like 2 minutes. Before i clicked the movie i said to myself 'i'm going to check if i can turn it off when i start watching' Well that is a failure, and now i feel guilty and stupid. How can i resist the damn urge. Does it getter better after a while? because i'm getting more dopamine it seems, and extremely horny. I went to the gym today, i took a walk. But all i could think during that is some movies playing in my head, and the urge became to strong i don't know what to do. Try to reset again i think?
Don't give up and don't think that you cannot do it. It is understandable to feel low. But do not be discouraged. Keep trying and it will surely come. maybe a good idea to get an accountability partner and do a lot of reading on the issue of sex addiction. Good luck
Feel terrible myself. Stumbled and viewed some relatively tame nudes pics on Yahoo images and also erotic Facebook material today after going over two months with no porn viewing - nevertheless, porn is porn, so I have reset. No M & O at time but set off same sequence of events as occurred to you - now very depressed, lethargic, and disappointed in myself. Testing oneself, using the rationalization a little peek won't hurt, leads to emotionally hurting oneself every time. I intend to do something positive, such as working out, when I find myself entertaining thoughts of straying off correct path in future. I would reiterate earlier post's advice to not give up. We wouldn't be making this quest if we didn't know in our hearts that this will work to our betterment in the future.
Stop doubting, you - we - are all heroes. It's the right thing to do. And if the urge gets to strong, that's the point you can get a real hero when you manage to overcome it somehow. Think of the late reward of this quest: a normal and deeply emotional sexual life with a loving partner.
