Giving Up Something That Feels Good

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Nov 19, 2018.

  1. Doing heroin or meth might feel good as well, but I won't be trying either of those.

    Also, PIED. That alone is reason enough never to look at that P crap ever again.
     
  2. I found this on Wikipedia and thought it was pretty interesting...

    (about Neurasthenia)

    "Freud included a variety of physical symptoms in this category, including fatigue, dyspepsia with flatulence, and indications of intra-cranial pressure and spinal irritation.[6] In common with some other people of the time, he believed this condition to be due to "non-completed coitus" or the non-completion of the higher cultural correlate thereof, or to "infrequency of emissions" or the infrequent practice of the higher cultural correlate thereof.[6] Later, Freud formulated that in cases of coitus interruptus as well as in cases of masturbation, there was "an insufficient libidinal discharge" that had a poisoning effect on the organism, in other words, neurasthenia was the result of (auto‑)intoxication.[7] Eventually he separated it from anxiety neurosis, though he believed that a combination of the two conditions existed in many cases."

  4. Hi bken, as silly as this may sound, reading this triggered me to PMO last night. I know that wasn't your intent so I'm not blaming you. I thought "Freud's right! My neurasthenia is due to insufficient libidinal discharge, non-completed coitus, and infrequency of emissions!". So therefore the solution was to do some PMO! In my porn brain. This was the excuse I needed. Even though Freud was against masturbation. So then what the hell did he recommend instead? What the hell does "higher cultural correlate" mean? I'm interested.

    I think I understand what you're talking about. I could never give it up because it was my go to comfort. It was my "relationship". It was my sexual outlet. It was a way to kill time while I was alone and had way too much time. It because so much. Here's the problem. Yesterday was my 15th wedding anniversary. I still haven't kicked it. It will become your substitute for sex and relationships. You WILL NOT stop when you get in a relationship. I guess my question to you would be this....are you willing to give up the guarantee of feel good PMO for the possibility of a wonderful relationship with a real person? IF you kick this now, you can be fully there and involved in your REAL relationship when the time comes. Will sex measure up to PMO? NO, it won't. I didn't lose my virginity until 29. Of course I was conditioned by PMO. When you get there, you will find real sex is completely different from PMO. I think PMO continues because it's not even about sex. It is about finding a comfortable place to hide from life. It is about feeding the dopomine need. Do yourself and your future spouse and family a favor, and really challenge yourself now.
