Hey there!

I’m a female, addicted to PMO (short for porn, masturbation and orgasm).

I’ve struggled with it for years, but there were some years in between when wasn’t in active addiction.

I’d say that for me, it’s a substitute for intimacy, which I crave. I’m learning not to use it as a source to fulfil that intimacy. The “high” that I got from it only lasted for few minutes, and as soon as I was done, the shame and guilt would just flood in.

I’ve also tried SLAA, which is sex and love addicts anonymous, works similar way than AA, there’s the 12 steps, and I would also work with a sponsor. There are many reasons, why I’m not in the program at the moment, but I can recommend it still. I also connect with people here. There aren’t many of us females (or who identify as a female) who struggle with PMO, but if you want, you can private message me!

You’re in a good place! I wish you well, and hope we can connect! :yellow_heart:
