temptations

Discussion in 'Compulsive Sexual Behavior' started by Deleted Account, Sep 7, 2020.

  1. It's Day 16 on my journey and my sex/ masturbating temptations are really strong right now. I been hard in my bed for the last 40 minutes and had to come and write because I knew it would end up with me relapsing. I had a sex dream earlier, vivid dream of a girl giving me bomb head. I'm trying to stay strong but sometimes I just want to beat it, I don't even need porn, I can just go off imagination. When do the masturbation urges stop? Do they ever stop once you reach past 30 days? 60 days? 90 day? During the day I notice my urges are not really there at all, but at night its a different story. Almost at 4 weeks, I gotta keep STRONG.
     
  2. You probably have a routine to give yourself regular pleasure that you have to break. Morning or night is still the difficult time for me, because that was my routine.

    Then, there are underlying causes. If I'm sad, anxious, lacking in self-confidence it makes the urges stronger, so I have to ask myself, what am I feeling?

    Being aware of your mind and what is triggering you is the start. Then you can do something about it.

    You've done the right thing to ask the question. Work out what is upsetting you underneath that, and deal with the cause.

    You can do it!! Good luck.

  3. So I have a similar length streak going and I am experiencing almost everything you have described. Vivid sex dreams, 0 urges during the day (but very strong in the morning). I would say the urges have gotten weaker over my reboot and especially since week 1 but they are still there. There is going to be a lot of sexual tension built up during a reboot unless you flatline so maybe the best long term fix is to find a partner to share it with.

    The tendency to masturbate will be there most times. It is a sign of your libido which is natural. From too much fapping, we know that acting on the temptation can only screw you up more. SO let's keep that in mind. Don't look at urges and dreams with fear. Instead look them with the confidence and thank goodness that your normal sexual functioning is returning!

    Know that recovery promises everything addiction offered!

    Keep sailing! Good Luck!
