When I was in the midst of my porn addiction, it became harder to become aroused by the normal porn I had previously enjoyed. This made me pretty depressed, I felt like I was losing my identity at the time. I also developed HOCD during that time, which only made me masturbate more for reassurance purposes. I honestly would masturbate to anything that gave me anything close to an erection. For that, I needed to get more weird and taboo. Now that I've been in recovery and I no longer masturbate to porn, I've been regretting my past masturbation sessions. Does anyone know of a solution/remedy to this? My porn addiction/HOCD kinda destroyed my sexual identity, I think a lot of people relate to this.
You deal with it. Obviously you’re going to regret ur past actions. You’ll come to terms with over time. You know what u did it and aren’t gonna keep doing it. You can’t not regret it. Like a lot of mistakes made in life. Just don’t sit in a corner hating yourself over it. Accept it and continue your life.
I agree with the previous post. It's in the past and nothing you can do about it. The only thing you can do is learn from it. In my past I have done some weird things because of my porn addiction. I look back at that and think, "how messed up was i? I never want to be like that again and do those things." And this helps me to stay motivated to continue on my journey to beat this addiction.
Pretty much. You just don't have to beat yourself too hard. Those were moments of weakness, enabled by external situations more often than not. Just tell yourself you're going to be a better man from now on, and act accordingly. Hope for the best!
