    Hi !

    I get really hard urges to have sex when Im with my girlfriend, even If she is not in the mood AT ALL. Recently we have been through a lot and been talking about really hard and hurtfull things in our relationship, and she has been crying a lot and feels really bad.... but still, if I there is even little moment when she seems happy (but she is still hurting inside) I get really hard urges to have sex with her if Im on a long streak. It feels like Im lacking empathy, when I have sexual urges even if I know my girlfriend feels bad, and it gets me really confused, and it hurts my girlfriend too. I usually dont tell her avout the urges, cause I feel like it would hurt her feelings.

    Do you find this normal when rebooting and when on long streak ?

    Ive been without porn 291 days now, without masturbating 75 days and now also without sex and orgasm 19 days. Recently my urges have been really big... We dont have sex often because of our problems in our relationship and my addiction.

    Things Ive tried to say to myself when Im close to my girlfriend and I have urges and/or boner:

    "This situation is not sexual"
    "What I really want is just to be with my girlfriend, I dont need sex, I need love"
    "I want to touch my girlfriend and make her feel loved"
    "my girlfriend is having a hard times, I should not be craving for sex." (but I dont understand why I still am !!)
    "I want my girlfriend to feel respected"

    Sometimes that works, but sometimes urges are so bad and I say something little bit sexual, and we both feel bad about it afterwards. Because our relationship is wrecked and we cant have sex right now, it doesnt feel right to my girlfriend, and I think it shouldnt for me either.

    Oh shit, I have absolutely no advice to give you. all I can say is that I feel exactly like that, with my condition starting with a good streak of one week. And my raising libido is sometimes some of the reason I relapse.

    I’m sorry my friend, I you find out any good way of dealing with this, let the rest of us know.

    Clearly this is about getting your rocks off and not connecting with your girlfriend. Work on changing your mindset so that your desire is for emotional connection with her. The rest will come when your mind is right.

    Hey man, I think I found your problem. It's right...
    there.

    Your body is used to getting off on the regular, and you've cut off all its usual avenues except one; your girlfriend. She doesn't want to sleep with you because you've been treating her like your dirty sock, and she doesn't like it. The timeline is predictable, really. You posted this June 12, it's July 6 now, my guess is you've reset your M counter or pressured her into S a couple times by now.

    Good news; it appears your sane self is an empathetic guy who is willing to make the hard choices and sacrifice for his lady friend. More good news, you've run your addiction into the corner where it can't hide anymore, and something's gonna give. You have a shot at beating this thing so you can begin to see real results. Bad news; your addiction is fighting for it's survival so this is probably one of the hardest things you'll do this month.

    My suggestion, based on loads of anecdotal evidence found on these very forums, and my own limited personal experience, is to... talk to her about it. Yeah, that's not glamorous, but it's what you have to do. Tell her you love her and you are committed to beating this thing, which is why you're going on hard mode for a while. You have to teach your body how to live without O by any means, which includes her.

    But, and this is a big one, you might, IF SHE IS AMENABLE, try cuddling. No sex. Make sure she agrees, because it's a big decision and she's part of it too, but see if you can cuddle with the promise that you will not, under any circumstances, try to escalate it into something more. Without clothes would be great, that would produce more oxytocin which is the bonding hormone, but even if not it can still be a trust building exercise. If you can hold her and talk to her without grabbing her bits or guiding her hand, that could go a long way toward you practicing how to put her above yourself and her trusting that you can still do that, when you aren't jackin' off to pics of other women all the time.
    Now, IF you go this route, especially if you go sans garments, your boner is going to get reeeeaaaaal excited. Make sure she knows that, because she might think you have mental control over that thing. My wife thought that. They talk about men not knowing about the female body and they totally have a point, but that's a two way street. She might think you're tricking her and that would not go over well at all. So position yourself so she doesn't have to feel it, tell her to ignore it, YOU ignore it, and something magical will happen. Without stimulation or a steady revolving set of erotic images, that boner will calm the hell down. Might take a while, but he'll figure it out. If you have multiple snuggling sessions, it will train your body not to overreact while bonding both of you together, and that, I think, is the ideal solution.

    I hope for your sake and especially hers that you can hang on to your progress through this period.
