So here I am. I've never really felt like I was addicted to porn and masturbation. To me sexual urges are natural and in the absence of a willing sexual partner I needed an outlet. And sometimes it has felt like a genuine relief, but I've always had this persistent feeling in the back of my head that maybe I needed to cut back. There have been times when PMO has cut in to other stuff that I should be doing. There have been times when I wanted to rub one off at the end of the day before bed to de-stress but ended up trawling the net into the wee hours looking for the perfect picture to get me off. I've also always been frustrated with myself. As long as I can remember I've been dis-organised, easily distracted, awkward around women etc... While I wasn't as terminally miserable as some of the other denizens of teh interwebs I felt that I was consistently failing to live up to my potential. Then one day I stumbled upon this site and after reading the brain-on-porn info and success stories. I wondered whether it was my porn and masturbation habits that had been holding me back from living the life I wanted... Time to find out. My stats since a lot of people seem to share this stuff. Male 26 years old Discovered masturbation at age 13. Fapped an average of 3 times daily. Fap record is 5 orgasms within a 24 hour period.
Masturbation didn't used to cause such severe problems because guys quit when they'd had enough. Now, they get some of their jollies from the seeking, searching, novelty and weirdness. That keeps them masturbating more than their brains can handle...which leads to neuroplastic changes than can slowly slide into actual addiction. That means the cravings aren't "real libido," but rather cravings. Sounds like you'd be wise to make an experiment by quitting. That's the only way to know what's what.
