If you masturbate often and don’t feel the relief you expect, thus feeling addicted to sex/masturbation: is it really cumming you are after or do seek the intimacy that comes with sexual relationships? If it’s the latter, you may not be “addicted”, you just tried to use the wrong tool for the job (pun intended). While this may not bring any improvement to your situation, at least know that you are not broken. Trying to fix the longing for intimacy with masturbation is just like trying to fix thirst by drinking oil. It may seem related, yet will ultimately get you nowhere.

    Yep, that’s exactly it. I wonder how many ppl can’t quit masturbating, start to believe that they are addicted to porn/masturbation and start feeling bad accodringly, while all there was to their “addiction” was loneliness they tried to fix with the wrong tool.

      I know what thats like, I could unravel my thoghts but Ill be brief. Not only is it bad not having a community/place/group to express a core aspect of yourself. but because of its sensitive subject matter, nobody to discuss it with outside of an anonymised account. Under this situation, Porn will mess you up.
