Is it really an improvement now that I'm wanting to bed real women?

    So I've been a chronic masturbator for 12 years. Even since a long time, I always wanted a girlfriend, but I just had one so far, and that didn't go far. Later, I always felt comfort in porn because I never feared rejection. Whenever I got horny, I felt porn was a free option of releasing my sexual frustrations and I couldn't get rejected. But despite that mindset, I always WANTED a gf, but never got one, although I had sex with a friend recently, who I badly want as my gf, but she doesn't want a relationship. Now after a month of no PMO, I'm only fantasizing about her and even fantasizing going to a massage parlor to get a quick fix if I can't have her. I'm not thinking about porn at all. I'm not really sure if this is a good thing, or my addiction escalated from bad to worse, now that I really want an 'upgrade' from porn. Well, I did have ED when I did have sex with the girl, like 5 times in a row, but am able to get it up if I watched porn.

    So is this new mindset of mine any improvement or am I just feeling urges in a different way that could possibly lose me money? I guess it's really hard to tell for any of you, but I'd like to know your opinion.
     
  2. It's probably an improvement but the important thing is to stop fantasising. As soon as you notice yourself doing it, stop. You may need to leave the room, have a shower, whatever, just stop fantasising!

    It took me a long time to realise this.

    I've heard that fantasizing about porn is worse as it's the same as watching it, but I've heard mixed comments about fantasizing real women. I guess it's alright as long as it doesn't lead to Pmo? As of now, the P part is completely behind me, I'm not even thinking it.

    pornography means "pictures of whores." Going to a massage parlor to employ a sex worker is the same thing or deeper mentally. Porn programs you brain and body to seek sex outside of a real human relationship, to harness your natural sexuality to unnatural pornographic embodiments of women or men whose only purpose is to gratify your needs sexually. Without rejection is to say without life.'

    This whole course and your fantasies about your friend you had sex with are part of the way you dehumanize yourself and dehumanie others, the way that love and friendship and natural sexuality seem to be something absent and estrainged for your life. You need to get clean from the whole deal, from transferring porn mind set thoughts and masturbation on porn onto a rea woman. You do not seem to think of a sexual relationship as part of your real life or interaction with people.

    You need to stay away from it all and allow your body to detox. You need to find a way to work on why you think you cannot have viable friendshps with women and probably wth men. I would bet you spend too much time on the computer or by yourself. You need to get help from a therapist from friends and from whomever you can to see your way to a completely healthy life where all of this is thrown into the toilet where it belongs, and you feel you can build the sexual side of your life around healthy human relationships''

    I can bet that the key of this is developing a positive view of yourself. Not as a super man or woman, not as a star, but just as an ordinary human being who deserves love and friends, but also not as a taker who wants love or sex, but as a giver who contributes to making the world a good place and making people feel affirmed in their humanity when they interact with him

    Stay away from massage parlors. That s worse than porn and the same thing. Stay away from porn. Get your head from being wrapped around this one woman and look at the way you are not letting yourself live and breathe and contribute as a regular human being.

    get help

    fantasizing about real women along the same lines as porn is the same thing. fantasizing about porn is the same thing

    FACE IT YOU are bent and warped and mangled by being into porn ad these fantasies. You spent deep time and money getting into it, wrapping your life around it. YOU DID THAT.

    It can take a healthy person MONTHS to untangle the way you have trained your mind, the chemical components of your brain, the sexual components of your body to demand these twisted things that hurt you and will cut you off from healthy sexual relationships with women, and a healthy positive view of yourself

    YOU NEED TO GET AWAY FROM ALL OF IT. You need to accept that the key thing for you is to DETOX your body and mind from all this crap, that you need to recover from the addiction first to think straight to live straight.
    '
    You have to stop trying to to weasel your way back into it.

    You spent all this time and money getting twisted. It will take total hard work for a bunch of time to get untwisted.

    Jiving around the fringes of ths stuff by having porno fantasies, by having fantasies like porn about real women, or anything else but getting clean is just the addiction and messed up ways coming back in and trying to say you are getting clean when the sickness is pushing you to stay filthy and messed up.

    Don't think that you can do this without revaluating your whole life, your health, your work or education, your moral or spiritual or philosophical work.

    You did all this work to get messed up with the monkey of all the porno and sexism in this society on your back. You will need more work and more time to get clean. FACE IT

    "fantasizing real women" is not an abstract question to talk about in regard to how it abstractly sits in society or for anyone, fantasing real women for someone who has been managled by porn, or who wants life without rejection like you, is a way of wrecking yourself of cntinuing the sickness.

    Now I have been into ths sickness for decades. I did meet real women who were just as managled as I and totally willing to realize my fantasies. Every single one that got me that far I later discovered or later told me that they were seriously mentally ill, I mean psychotic.

    Your brain and body are wrecked and clouded and managled. Stay away from anything, get healthy that takes time more than 3X days. And it takes RETHINKING, not just finding a new angle to get turned on by porn like fantasies or trying to act like porn can be real life

    GET straight a long time change your thinking!

    Well I'm not fantasizing porn with this girl. I'm actually fantasizing the sex we had. Going back to the real deal. If I haven't mentioned already, I'm in love with this girl. The fantasy about the massage thing was a new fantasy yes, but I wasn't really fantasizing the porn element of it all that much, because my brain is a little incapable of forming new fantasies, maybe because porn made sure I didn't need to. All I fantasized about the massage parlor was that me going there, and talking to the girl while telling her about my rejection, and after I felt a little bonded, I touch this girl gently, in a similar way that I did with the girl I love. So yes, I'm not really seeking sexual pleasure as much as the soft/gentle touch of the massage girl. I infact have a cheaper option of hiring a prostitute, but I wanted to go for the more expensive massage instead, as these girls seem to be more 'sensual', and it would last an hour long where they massage teh whole body, and the rules say that while they do give a 'happy ending', there will be no intercourse. So I picked this option so I can simply talk to her for about half an hour, before she gets to the sensual part. A prostitute on the other hand would just be a sex object. I infact want it to be sensual with a little bit of meaning. And since I don't have other female friends in the near future who would be willing to do that for me, I turned to this..

    I am currently 30 and unemployed. I study at home, and my field is graphic designing so that does involve me sticking to teh computer a whole lot. I do have a few guy friends, but they're also busy with their own lives, and I've called them all during teh past month to help with my depression, but they haven't come. Not because they don't care, but they got their own shit to take care of.. I know it might sound like they're not good friends, but they are, but hey, they're working and married too, they simply can't make time for me as much. This lonliness and this longing I have to communicate my problems to somebody is killing me, and I thought about the massage thingy for this reason. Because I want two things right now. I'm in love with that girl and I am breaking apart. I tried exercising and I did it so hard so fast that I damaged my leg (muscle weakness and pain has set in, and I'm currently limping). I feel, if I at least had some physical thing with another girl who atleast listened to my problems or even pretended to, my mind would be off the girl I love, at least temporarily.

    But I understand going to a psychologist would be a better option.. I'm don't think I would be going to the massage parlor, as because I'm also kinda broke lol, and I know it will affect me in the long run, even if it's just a sensual massage with a happy ending.. But the thought of the option being open gives me comfort.

    You are not living your life but a fantasy because your life isnt good. Massage parlor prostitute even this girl are outside your real life. What do you offer? What do you share? What do you give? What does this crap have to do with real life as people live it, with your struggle to find a job, with how you survive?

    fantasizing is focusing on non life, or saying you do not have it in yourself to survive and enjoy and contribute to real life, so you run away to an easy fantasy, except the sexual and intellectual part of it blinds you to relating to your own life.

    You do not need new fantasies, you need to feel good about life. When make a fantasy it is the opposite of making and meeting friends and finding a lover in your life. The fantasy is totally a function of you, it is the lonely world of just you, it is surrendering to the fact you cannot make it in the real world.

    give it up and dive into the real world. Look at your life beyond sex and fantasy and this girl. What are you putting into it. What do you give? how are you losing the attractiveness you need in life. Are you gettng away with this because you are away from the world?

    Try to give up the crap and dive into the struggle of real lifed

    I hear you.... You're right. But I'm stuck at this awful part of my life. Probably the worst since my dad died. I'm in depression. I did fantasize the massage thing few days ago, but now I'm back in my senses, and know that even if I did that, I'd regret it later. But I still fantasize the girl I love because I love her, and since she isn't talking to me temporarily (I know she'll be back later, we've been through a few similar situations), I'm having depression. I cry like a bitch these days, everyday, even while watching a tv show. I NEVER cry. I could literally count the number of days I've cried in the last 10 years. 3 times. When dad died, when grandpa died, and when my ex left me.. Also I tried to get myself better and exercised hard and strained my knee and I can't walk now. I've been limping for a month now. And yes I saw a doc, and he gave me some basic exercises to do to get rid of it. So right now, I'm unable to focus on anything. All I do is try to study, watch House (tv show) or play games (rarely). The rest of the time I'm just sitting idle because I can't do anything else, and to see I've gone limp in my leg, in my dick and in my mind, it just saddens me. Got nobody in my life right now. Mom is away and she's got her own problems. Got friends, but they got their own shit to take care of since they're working and married. I'm just fucked. And I know what I must be doing. That is to finish studying and get a job, as that literally fixes most of these problems.. But with all this shit going on, it's just... hard. And it'll probably take 2 months before I get a job, and that is if I'm able to walk to an interview by then. Every moment when I'm idle, I just can't stop being sad or cry. My fantasy with this girl is the only happy memory I've got.
