Hi, Iam Bill.I am 25 yrs old and currently a Postgraduate in Medicine.Ironically a med student is supposed to know all aspects of psychology and human physiology,but I am addicted to both Porn and Masturbation been the antisocial one throughout med school,I want to stop both of these issues starting today,but worried about the withdrawal affects such as insomnia and muscle pain,which might affect my studying patterns.Its like a herion addiction ruining my life.Any effective strategy? as tapering never seems to works.....
I'm new here too... And you sound like me in that jerking off turns you into being antisocial and it feels like you are some kind of drug addict. I'm not sure how others might feel about this, but quiting jerking off without putting in some kind of replacement I feel isn't going to work as we men just need that sexual release from time to time. Personally, I found that using escorts in place of jerking off pulled me out of my chronic masturbation. Once you realize you can be with a real hot woman (escort), you won't look at porn and being alone in your room in the same way. You will say to yourself why look at porn when you can go out and get the real thing... You are the the perfect candidate for using escorts because of your hectic schedule. You can move on and get a girlfriend later after you get through school young man. I wish I was your age and someone told me what I just told you.
Thanks alot for the advise mate,but unfortunately the case is even more complicated due to religious reasons i might have to stay a Virgin until i get married lol.I know it sounds stupid,but thats how its like,tho would not like disclosing my religion.Tried stayin away for porn and masturbation for a year,all it did was turn me into one ambitious asshole,with no regard for my colleague :S its more like a droid rage when you dont jerk off! It messes you up and makes you even more frustrated :S
I don't necessarily think that being a Med student makes you an expert in psychology and physiology, nevermind an expert of controlling your own addcitons and urges. This you must learn in life's school, like all of us. Did you actually abstain from P or MO for a year? What was the motivation of your success, then? What is your reason for your wanting it now, then? By the way, I wouldn't at all recommend the "escort route" as suggested in another post - and it sound like you're not going there anyway. All the escort thing will foster is another loveless addiction and brokenness in life, far worse than PMO even, which will ultimately destroy any future relationship you will have in life, well before PMO addiction ever does. For those who advise it, I would suggest they ask the many married men on this site who have once opened that door and have found how destructive such a sex addiction has become and continues to be. Best wishes on your journey!
I recommend watching this video.. I find Teal Swan very helpful. She puts things in perspective so Id advise to watch some of her videos.
You have to work for 104 hours a week for a year with only one Sunday off in a month in developing countries if you are a fresh grad from med school.Partly due to work schedule and partly due to the energy needed with the nature of work.Used to have two 32 hours shift and three 8 hours shift in a week.Plus never had any girlfriend in life as M had only made my self esteem low,although I am still very ambitious,but i got so fixated with work and career goals that i stopped focusing on myself and my mental health..
Hi Bill! I found that abstaining from PMO made me more energetic, motivated and have a stronger sense of confidence. I didn't suffer from muscle pain but if you do then I am sorry to hear it . Not masturbating will bring mostly beneficial traits and habits. It doesn't take long to witness those benefits and the longer you abstain from PMO the stronger you will feel. I guarantee that by removing PMO from your life will make you a better person. Good luck!
All Thanks but i guess advantages of not M outweighs the advantages of doing it..the only advantage I see is reduced risk of prostate cancer as it keeps it clean.I will continue to post here.Thanks alot for all the support! Its time to feel energetic and confident again!
