anxiety and depression

Since i've stopped PMO for years, however along the way, i never plan on get rid of erection... However somehow i still enjoy looking at pretty girl getting erection against my pant or sleep to the side of the bed so it puts pressure on my penis, somehow it created strong sensation that felt so...

Mhmmm been days since i've stop asking for reassurance, however today doubt kinda hooked on me again... Sometimes we enjoy our erection, and somehow we try to like harden it, so it felt good also it created that strong sensation feeling since it against our underwear etc... like your cum...

I remember the earliest days when I didn't care about anything else besides avoiding PMO (pornography, masturbation, and orgasm). I went on with my life normally, without worrying about things that might be considered as p-subs or whatever counts as a relapse. For example, I would watch bikini...

How come even sex story or jokes, reading or I'm saying it, share the same effect as watch actual porn that count as reset? Just how???? My own set of rules are cut off pmo only, I'm not planning to be a monk, or that i would slipped back to pmo again after reading those stories? Heck no, it...

Literally I'm really embarrassed for asking these type of question... Been dealing with these 3 triggers: I'm literally mentally exhaustion from stuffs like these, just couple days ago i made a post, now back it with doubts, whether it's relapse or not?

Suddenly i remembered there was a video like a guy kissing his girlfriend... then rubbing his girlfriend ass etc... I thought it was nothing at that time. Was it consider relapse?

I was constantly ask chatgpt about relapse since it gave instant answers... however i just found how inaccurate and not real these answer were... Like i did a test ask chatgpt if seeing nude pic count as relapse, its answer was no not relapse unless it lead to PMO. which was an open eye like...

I have been taking a huge break, taking care of my mental health... Since these past few days i have been stressed out now all the little things triggered my anxiety again me again like: I was watching anime, there's women character dress really sexual, her dress shown the gap between her...

Recently i still deal with bunches of triggers... Mostly triggered my anxiety not urge to pmo. I was watching a song cover then the guy singing beautifully but i suspicious he is looks like transgender, since so many transgender women to man* cover it, sing to their girlfriend, what triggered...

I found this article on a book related to how we can deal with anxiety, depression, sadness, self-criticism, boredom etc. This is a theory of ironic rebound effect. It shows that forcing to avoid any thought leads to self destructive behaviours. Some people who are trying to recover from pmo...

I have been dealing with a bad anxiety even after therapy... While i already cleaned from PMO but there are so many things that triggered me on daily. Now it took a hold on my job and personal growth. I seriously need to someone talk about it...

I'm an video editor... Currently I'm editing a music video, most clips are triggered plus the sound ambient some sort of moaning...

I mean... I rarely notice this but when i get boner against my pants it feels good... Somehow i have always been like this plus humping on pillows etc... But it's not like I'm fucking the shit out of my pillow, i think I'm just hugging then make a slight humping with no intentions... It's just...

Ok, so I am around 5 months since I looked at porn. 31 years old, and have been using it since I was 13…and looking at it as young as I can remember. It’s always been my greatest addiction.

I am feeling severely lonely, empty from inside, frustration after failing different indian competitive exams many times. Failure is because of PMO and failure again leads to PMO in turn.

First of all, I’m so glad that I found the site. It’s a godsend. I was introduced to pornography when I was around eight or nine years old and that forever stained my life. I am a Christian and have been one of my life. So you can imagine the guilt and shame I’ve felt throughout the years with...

Porn only leaves you feeling empty, anxious and depressed. Porn leaves you with self-hate. Porn isolates you. Porn gives you sexual problems. Porn decreases your empathy for women and other people. Porn kills love. What do you want? Porn or real women and real love? It’s up to you..

Hello from Western Balkan! I am Luka, and I use/d masturbation and porn to escape my problems, depression, and loneliness. I started to watch porn when I was 14 or 15 I think. My family didn't have internet access before so I was kinda "spared" for some time. In the beginning, I didn't think as...

I am not a porn addict. I just watch it occasionally. However, the main area of concern is masturbation. I have been trying to stop it since the past 8 years since the age of 20 that was when I began with it. Before that I never even tried doing it. After that day, life changed completely for...

Hi, guys, my name is Frank. I’m a Mexican-American 22 year old and I’m addicted to porn and masturbation. It’s not so much the porn, but it does play a role. I’ve been fapping since I was 11 or 12. The first time I discovered porn and fapping was like one of the greatest experiences ever. But...
