    I just went a week without porn and i managed to resist it quite easily. Masturbation may be the actual problem for me here. Does anyone have the same issue ?

    Hi,

    I don't really get your problem here, you should explain a bit more your situation...
    Anyway, of course abstaining from porn and masturbation is harder than only abstaining from porn.
    Some people do masturbate without porn during their reboot, it is up to you to define if you want to quit masturbation or not.
    It depends on the issues you met before coming here and on your goals.

    I wondered if there were people here who had issues with masturbation but not porn. I felt the urge to use the latter but nowhere near compared to that of masturbation. And yes i do want to quit it. I completed my first couple of days without it and now i am back at it again.

    I think that lots of people here have/had issues while quitting masturbation but perhaps not realizing it because they put all in the same bag. Masturbation answers to a primal instinct whereas porn is just a way to do it.

    In my case, I'm not saying that quitting porn was easy but it was easier than quitting masturbation itself. Most of the times my urges are turned towards masturbation and sex, and not porn.

    My urges go beyond that to be honest. Mostly they gravitate around security and affection, whenever i imagine sex i put emphasis on those two. And you rarely find that in porn, i mean most of the time i go there is because i am bored.

    Okay, I think this is pretty uncommon here. But the fondamental problem is the same, just in your case your cravings are more related to emotions. That made you quit porn more easily than average but you still have the same masturbation urges.

    If you were looking for people with the same behavior, you should create another topic and clearly explain that you're seeking guys who are addicted to masturbation without porn
     
  7. Hmm I want to tell you that you may try something but you might relapse

    Nah feel free to tell me
     
  9. If you choose to relapse, with just MO only, see if during your chaser affect phase, the first few days after your relapse, do you want to relapse again but with P instead. So you know what you’re addicted to

    Oh i already did that and no it was not porn. I have been free of that for a month now.
     
  11. A month? You should be able to go indefinitely then, right?

    Oh okay, if it’s just MO, I suggest just keep busy and don’t tempt yourself with the thought, I guess same tactic as anyone that deals with quitting P. I am trying to quit PMO so it may be different but I can’t imagine much
