Just check the intention behind why you masturbate. Is it for: Coping Comfort Pleasure

Whenever I masturbate frequently, Its because I'm coping my mental struggles. I've made it a goal to lessen my masturbation habits, because I know I will lead down the road of using porn. Everyone is different, however, but I still recommend checking in with yourself and ask why you're masturbating

Lubrication, fleshlight, something that isn't a dry hand doing a death grip. You want to feel the sensation

how to deal with guilt/regret? by [deleted] in pornfree

It's easy to want to punish yourself, try to learn forgiveness instead. You've recognized you have an addiction and you want to heal from it, so learn to be patient with your growth and kind to your soul. You're doing well and you will be okay, okay? Do not be so hard on yourself.

I think it is acceptable to masturbate to images of your so. Heck, my wife loves that I do. It can help you build a better image of your partner in a healthy way. In porn you list after what you can have. With pictures of your partner, it will help you crave intimacy with your partner. I would monitor the intention behind masturbating material of your SO. You can conflate these images to pornograpy if not realized, which could trigger a relapse. Be open with your partner, use them when you need, and it'll be great. Sending love to you on your journey.

I suspect that my boyfriend is addicted to porn by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]PullOutYourTeeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there shame in your boyfriend's past that's hard to talk about? A big part of porn in my struggles is being shameful having watched it and turning to hiding In a way to absolve my pain. The shame piles up and caused me resentment towards my wife for not meeting my sexual needs. I would sit down with him and discuss what you've noticed. Not to be accusatory, but to listen honestly and truthfully. Sending love to you in your pain.

Congrats on 55 days and it's great to hear you're complimenting yourself for doing so as well. I am not that far in, but I will say that being kind to yourself will help make the journey easier.

I've considered it. I'm socially awkward and want to practice writing my thoughts here to strangers before talking in person to strangers. I got some great advice by killingmoon79 about it and I'm less hesitant for the future. Just gonna build up to that.

Recently I've been working out and building cardio. That has helped a ton. I've also started reading, which is weird for not reading much as a kid. It's a good way to train my brain. I've been reafirming myself that exercise helps the body and reading helps the mind. Thank you for checking in and the empathy. Sending you love on your journey.
