Hey,
I've been trying to do a 90-day reboot for six months now, but have so far never got beyond four weeks.
My problem is not really porn anymore, I'd say I'm rather successful in preventing myself from watching it. But I can't really control my urge to masturbate.
On one hand, there's the chaser effect because I have a wonderful girlfriend and I don't want to do hard mode. On the other hand, there are the times when she's away just like now. When I feel lonely, and especially when I feel she doesn't care for me enough (which I usually over-interpret from her way of texting) I simply can't concentrate on anything else until I masturbate. I do it without porn, but still I do it.
Essentially, masturbation has become a way for me to deal with a (usually) unjustified feeling of loneliness and/or neglect. I know I have certain mental issues and I'm also seeing a therapist about it - but still, I wondered if there's anyone who had any tips for me.
