    I have been masturbating since I was 13 and never stopped. Porn addiction came in when I was in my late teens and it's been very strong since the content is so readily available. Married for 10 years now and it has really taken a toll on my relationship since all my sex energy is being wasted on porn. Yesterday she said either you stop of we are getting a divorce so I am giving a one last chance because I lose my great marriage because of an addiction. I have cut cold Turkey and today is my first day. I edge more then orgasam but it's really wired me differently. She has told me if I dont stop touching myself she will consider put me in a cage and to stop my porn addiction she will put a Norton virus parental control on my devices. I dont want it to get to that level so I am quitting once for all and getting hold of my sex life.

    Have you thought about going to see a professional face to face as well as using this forum if the stakes are this high? Either just any counsellor or you can see people who specialise.

    I went to see someone last year for a few discussions, It was a good experience and I only really didn't continue because of the cost.

    I feel what you are saying though about the cost in your relationship, we have been together 6 years, first baby just about to arrive and I see how insulted she gets when I am not eager for sex. It is a lot of my motivation for giving up on it.

    Thanks man!
    I have been thinking about it as well to go see a therapist and talk to someone. Right now I am taking my dog out for a walk every hour since I work from home. Urge has been very strong but going out for a walk has been helping with refocusing.

    She is helping me with asking every night to see how it went and talk to her about it which I am open about it. We are planning on having me use either oral or by intercourse to fill in the dopamine so I can have my daily release and help me get use to the body contact and sensation without porn. Today I am on my 3rd day and urges are strong to quickly edge with porn but have already taken my poor dog out 5 times lol. I do believe knowing that there are others I helping alot this time.

    You might try a lock safe as well. I have one of these when I am at home and need to be productive, it was about £20 from Amazon. I can get my phone, xbox controller and computer mouse on it depending on what needs doing.

    Why not make an enquiry to see someone and let us know how it goes ? It was a good experience for me.

    Hey @G1985A - Before rejecting this out of hand, please consider that there may be some sort of role for this in your recovery process. I have my computer filtered for both content and time via the free K9 Web Protection. While I do wish I did not need such external restrictions, they have proven very, very helpful. I cannot go where I cannot go - which is great!

    As always, however, you need to find what works for you...

    Yes I have Kaspersky on my phone and it is very good, I used to have the same thing on the computer but have since reformatted it.

    Is there anything you can put to block the internet browser on the xbox?
     
  10. Excellent. Be aware that the 'one last time' may (and only may) take a while.
    Learn new skills, read the Success Stories forum, and have a little hope.
