What to do against being mentally horny?

    I don´t know if this is a common thing or not, but since yesterday evening I just want myself to be horny physically.
    I want myself to have a strong erection, but I don´t masturbate then. It is a really weird feeling and hard to express. I fell like this could have something to do with the porn I watched in the last years (I stopped porn about 3 weeks ago), where getting caught having an erection would always lead to sex. I know this isn´t the case, especially since I´m home alone, but something in me still "hopes" for this to be true.
    I´m thinking about getting a tinder account to get a GF, but I guess it´s mostly for sex and a release.
    Besides that, I feel great again. The benefits come back from the testo-increase, but this thing really challenges me. Any tips?
     
  2. What you are describing is pretty normal I would say at least compared to my own experience. The conventional wisdom to combat lust, which is what I believe you are describing, is to get busy with something else like a hobby or take a walk, or anything to change the energy of the situation. What I think is often omitted in that advice is that many times the lustful feelings don't go away even when you do this. It is important not to be discouraged by this. Many people feel that because the lustful feelings stay with them that their distraction "isn't working" when in fact, it is. It may seem counter-intuitive, but the more time you spend in lust not acting on it, the more confident you will become. Only then, will the feelings begin to subside.

    Date if you want a relationship and all that entails. If you just want sex from someone, maybe now is not the time.

    Peace,
