So I’ve been sober for 2 days. Ive been masturbating ever since i was 10; I’m 21 now and I am just fed up with this. It’s only been two days and I am getting these very strong urges. I’m hoping that these urges will eventually subside.
Try a cold shower whenever the urge comes or go for a run.

I’m not trying to be an ass, but am just curious. What’s the problem with masturbating? Do you feel you are committing a sin by doing so or is it chronic? I think it’s fairly normal to masturbate occasionally even if you have an active sex life. I guess if you feel the urge to do it all day long that could be an issue…

I would say it is chronic. It’s not only masturbating but I used to watch porn almost everyday. I dont think its a sin but I think it is getting out of hand, especially when all it takes is an image to make me want to masturbate.
Morning.
Extreme Masterbation and porn addiction can be a problem… ignore what people say ‘That’s not a problem’ only you know the true depth. Well done for the 2 day sober milestone.

Hey man. I hear you! I’m in the same shit. Porn ans masturbation have handicapped me for years. Since I was 19. I’m 29 now. Today I’m 29 days free but I feel like hell. I find it easier with a fellowship called SLAA. You may wanna check it out. I’m hoping to get to 30 days at the end of the day. It’s going against every instinct which is hard for an addict like me.
I’ll definately check it out. And i feel you, it’s really difficult not to masturbate, especially when it doesnt take much to get turned on. But I’m taking it one day at a time

I can sympathize with you. I have a Normal sex drive but during withdrawal it is like in over drive . I want it to stop because it’s annoying and makes me more agitated and restless than what I am.
My BF is dealing with this right now…( my own problem is with drinking and cigarettes ). Please keep posting as I’m having a hard time being supporting and understanding.
A couple months ago I found out that in addition to the masturbation and porn he was visiting massage parlours. He admitted to 33 less than a years time. We have only been together for not 2.5 years. We live together and work together.
He is currently in therapy.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing and congrats! Keep it up, he can now go 2 weeks at a time without doing it ( masturbation) which is hard for him as he’s been doing it since he was a kid and Is now in his late 30’s.
As far as I can tell he has cut out the porn and prostitutes for about 3-4 months…as far as I can tell.
I’m also faci same problem
there is a simple solution to the porn problem. cancel Internet, TV and don’t purchase magazines. Problem solved
