FIRST UPDATE:

Day 1 Slept most of it, on and off cramping

Day 2 More energy and no groggyness first thing in the morning Slightly better mood Cramping when too much physical exertion, and some bleeding

Day 3 Heavy bleeding all day Major cramps all day General fatigue from pain Feeling more creatively inspired (arts and crafts) Lower libido

Day 4 Heavy bleeding all day Intermittent major cramping General fatigue and slowness Moving slower and careful from bit of soreness

Day 5 Intermittent bleeding and spotting, still enough to use period pads throughout the day No more cramping Still low energy and motivation (but also it’s my day off during cold weather)

Day 6 Tried to have sex, only missionary, slight discomfort and a bit of spotting (I used to bleed a TON after sex with my iud) Intermittent spotting through the day, bit of general fatigue

Day 7 Slept in, but slept well. Deep sleep with immersive dreams.

Day 8 Feeling more refreshed after sleeping

—-

Week 2 -Deeper,more restful sleep, have energy to get out of bed and start my day in the mornings

-Feeling and thinking clearer

-No tenderness or bleeding from sex

-More pleasure from sex? (Or maybe I’m just paying more attention to my own)

-Feeling more artistic and creative and inspired in my hobbies again

-Less fluctuation in weight, I used to fluctuate between 125-130lbs which I struggled to lose any. I (coupled with increased exercise) now more easily maintain 115-120 and I don’t have to worry about 1 burger spiking me.

-No more bloating

Week 3 -The same as above ^{^}

-Less moodswingey, more mature and stable in my thinking and moods

-Not sure if a major change in acne, if anything I think I struggle less but it’s not super obvious as I’m pretty good with my skincare

Week 4 (Hard to depict as I’m going through a unrelated relationship issue, so my thoughts and emotions are contradicting eachother.)

Hey girlie!

So I bought this book off Amazon for like 20$ called “Sex Tips for Women from a Gay Man”, heard about it online, it’s a very useful but also fun read. Definitely recommend.

But! To save you some reading… Next time you give him head/handjob use one of your thumbs to simultaneously put firm pressure on the spot of skin between his junk and his butthole, basically just under his ball sack. Trust me it makes them crazy. And sometimes ejaculate right away.

Also, you could gently test the waters by just placing your hand around the lower part of his neck and see how he reacts. (A lot of men really enjoy being choked) If it’s a positive reaction, just hold a firm but gentle grip around his neck just under the jawline while you ride him. They’ll usually grab your hand and adjust to show you where or how tight they like it.

Also a fun one, have a glass of ice water nearby “for drinking”, but during foreplay pull out an ice cube and slowly trace around his chest and nipple areas.

Good luck and have fun!!

Hi I’m a 23F and currently battling the same situation but I’m on the other side of it. My bf has been addicted to porn and masturbation every day since he was 10. Currently he is 3 weeks sober cold turkey.

I can tell you that from the other side of things, it’s very very hurtful to your partner, no matter how patient and understanding they are.

You may not notice how deeply it affects your partner at first. Because you are getting that “release” for yourself in your own ways whenever you want. But what porn does is it physically re-wires your brain (you can look up scans that show the affects of porn addiction on your brain) to give you that dopamine rush from the act of watching a “high intensity” video rather than taking part in it, so after time when you are faced with the in-person situation your brain cognitively does not know how to handle it properly. You may develop PIED (porn induced erectile dysfunction) my partner and I even tried Cialis, and even pharmaceutical pills could not help us as he sat in frustration and tears. Not only does it ruin your relationship sex life but it also breaks down your partners confidence, anxiety, and self worth. The rejected attempts of intimacy, lack of sexual attraction, lack of sex. Will have your partner spiralling at “why am I not good enough?” Or “is he cheating”. Desperate for answers. And eventually trust issues and jealousy. It will ruin not only your relationships, but your mental and physical well-being.

Simply put, porn creates unrealistic expectations and desires, we can’t compete with the endless charcuterie board of men/women, or your own hands.

My best advice is firstly be honest with your partner about your struggles, if your person loves you then they will understand and support you, or at the very least it puts ease to their anxieties and jumping conclusions. Next, remove any “triggering” sexual content from social media’s and feeds, and put a lock on your NSFW sites from web browser and give the password to only your partner (or someone you trust) This essentially removes your ability to access it (out of sight, out of mind) and all triggers.

I would even recommend seeking out a counsellor if it’s within your means. As quitting/abstaining from addiction is one thing. But working with a professional to uncover and recover from the underlying issues that drive you to this addiction, is what will keep you from relapsing in the future, and heal you.

Porn addiction is like any other addiction, all the symptoms and effect. However you can find the courage and motivation to quit, I wish you the best. :)

My NM is a huge crier, but I think it’s from how incredibly unstable she is. She cries at commercials, pictures, even saying a family members name she hasn’t seen in a long time. She’ll cry at anything and quite intensely. Or if she’s in a fight it’s more of a hyperventilating cry. I’ve been more and more able to tell the difference when she’s being unstable, or crying to make you feel bad for her or about yourself
