But if you want it back then exhausting it can be a mistake. You’re saying ‘burning off your karma’ / exhaustively focusing on what you don’t want to experience - is what worked for you - and ‘worked for you’ is that you are unable to masturbate. Yet also, in hindsight, this may have been a mistake. Nonetheless, you’re suggesting this. Do I have that right?

I've realized it's become excessive for me. In the past, I used these as coping mechanisms for childhood issues. Now that I've worked through that trauma, the habits persist. I've noticed my erections aren't as strong as they used to be. Additionally, I'm in a relationship now and want to focus on my partner's needs. I'm looking for support and advice, as this topic can be difficult to discuss openly without feeling shame or guilt. Despite my efforts, I haven't been able to stop yet. Any suggestions or experiences from others who've faced similar challenges would be appreciated. I have a similar situation with porn addiction. I find when I'm not masturbating or watching porn I feel more energized and motivated to be social and I also feel more inspired. My work performance definitely goes up. Make no mistake, there is definitely a harmful effect on the brain from pornography addiction, it's been studied many times. It's better to let go imo, I'm also in a "binge" with porn but plan to stop soon and give it a go again. I remember seeing a study where they compared the brain of someone addicted to porn and someone who eats McDonald's and junk food everyday and the conclusion was that people's brains are significantly impaired from porn addiction compared to the junk food eaters. The cure may be healing from sexual trauma and discordant beliefs that we use pornography to soothe from. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

Orb Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 @Menungso also, notice how it's all connected. How the newer generations of humans are more sexually frustrated, lonely, impulsive. And this is parallel with the increased access to pornography such that people begin getting hooked on it from as early as 10 years old.... It's kinda like cigarettes back then, doctors used to smoke them and talk about how beneficial it is. Now in hindsight it was unhealthy all along... Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.

Reena Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I don't watch porn. I don't have a porn addiction. But i was addicted to masturbation a couple of years ago. I guess that's completely normal in early 20s.

Reena Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I don't know if masturbation addiction is the same as porn addiction. Both could be slightly different.
