    I'm a 28 yo male virgin, struggling with OCD and social phobia since i was a teen. I believe i became addicted to flirting girls in chat rooms (which i started to find a lot more exciting than porn) almost 2 years ago and i feel like i've never been the same since then.
    It's like my libido has skyrocketed and sometimes i cant keep at its side physically, which makes me even more anxious and depressed. When i was a teenager, i would masturbate 3-4 times a week but now its like i must do it everyday and it doesn't relieve the horniness. Also, i started to get a lot of weird feelings in my body, like tingling in my head, my penis and around the perineum (not sure which are parestesias from anxiety or something else). The worst part happens when i have to talk or text a girl on the cellphone. Its like it reminds me of my behaviour in the chatrooms, and i feel like i would never recover from this.
    I know most people here deal with porn addiction but maybe there is someone that can relate to this problem and share any advice.
    I think the last time i chatted online was about a month ago, and i'm on day 10 no PMO. It was really hard the first days, but now i feel a little less tingly lol. Also im feeling less urges, except when i have to text or call a girl even with something totally unrelated to sex.
